Raquel Angel Nagler Poems

Quote: "You cannot know what light is if you have never seen the darkness"-D.T.Suzuki
Maybe
When I say I am lost
It means that somewhere inside
...

On silent dawn roads
The sound of my steps wounds the fog
Like a riderless question that spurs
The slow moments of short days.
...

Maybe the word ‘water',
Its liquid syllable,
Is the only sea
I really know.
...

Again and again
We look at each other ‘I' to ‘I':
Little names that are a short-cut
To the map of our solitude.
...

Maybe
We are never really alone.
Only solitary notes of a song.
...

Quote: "What is troubling us is the tendency to believe that the mind is like a little man in us"- Wittgenstein
Sometimes I think
There is no little man in my mind
Who owns my thoughts.
...

Quote: 'Egolessness'- Buddhism

-You say: The I is the sum of our dreams.
Then you speak of the voyage.
...

I cannot help myself:
I am the sufferer and the torturer.
My aching half whispers, for years now,
To the other:
...

Time flows, but never out of the present,
As if it were an impassable silence.
I whisper:
Speak, speak at long last.
...

When I depart from my memories
I feel like someone who betrays fate.
When I live among them-
Like someone who betrays life.
...
