Raquel Angel Nagler Poems

In the depth of my mind
My thoughts don't see.
Like fish at the bottom of the ocean
The feel their way among old sunken ships:
...

Behind the line of solitude, hardened on the lips,
My rocks live with their back to the sea,
Still looking for the face of the rain:
The purified memories.
...

You: whole. Wounded.
Sensual. Pure.
Aerial. Terrestrial.
Your name: night. Your name: love.
...

QUOTE: 'We can't grasp the unique metamorphosis of reality. We can't grasp beauty' - R.M. Rilke

Maybe beauty
Is a moon in the water.
...

QUOTE: 'How is it possible to live, since the elements of life remain beyond our reason: death, love' - R.M. Rilke

Maybe
Reason is a blind mirror.
...

QUOTE: 'When we are young we do not know where to locate the center of our life' - R.M. Rilke

It's evening in my soul
Yet, I don't know
...

I find my words
In the depth of my sigh.
In the whisper of my eyes.
...

My poems:
A map of edges.
The frontiers of my silence.
...

My years grew old.
The only dream left
Is the dream of quiet:
The murmur on its calm wings.
...

Crepuscular hours.
We realize we're as strong as life:
We lead it
And it leads us.
...

Evening which is also dawn:
It invents our new name,
Our new body.
...

You: an adolescent river. Young water.
I drink you with all the mouths I have:
The mouth of thirst. The mouth of laughter. The mouth of loneliness.
...

Maybe
The road means promise.
I voyage by you
To a 'sometime' named future
...

Using the razor of reason
We carve the mouth of our questions,
A little wound
Where the unthinkable: the tongue of reality,
...

I write words
As lost, as definite
As steps in the night.
...

The night, the immense peace,
Leaves its colors on my fingers.
I paint your silence.
I paint your sleep.
...

While we still have hands
We touch
The answers of our bodies.
...

Scarred Mirrors (72)
Whatever I touch becomes part of myself:
Your restless forehead,
The memories in your skin,
...

A pond
Ruby birds of autumn
Drink the water mirror, their captive halcyon days,
In the human way:
...

The ritual of dinners
Beneath the weight of twilight
The table-cloth,
Soaked with the smell of little dinners,
...

In the depth of my mind
My thoughts don't see.
Like fish at the bottom of the ocean
The feel their way among old sunken ships:
My anchors of sadness.
