I don’t want you to leave, heartache, the last form of loving. I feel myself live when you hurt me not in yourself, or here, but further: in the earth, in the year you come from, in my love for her and everything it meant. In that sunken reality which denies itself and insists that it never existed, that it was only a pretext of mine for living. If you didn’t stay with me, heartache, irrefutably, I would believe that; but you do stay with me. Your truth assures me that nothing was a lie. And as long as I feel you, heartache, you will be the proof of another life in which you didn’t hurt me. The great proof, in the distance, that it existed, that it still exists, that she loved me, yes, that I’m still loving her.

[metaphorformetaphor]

And for however long you do not come, I’ll wait on the brink of flights, of dreams, of comet trails, motionless. Because I know that neither wings,   nor wheels nor sails can travel   to where I once was.   They have all gone astray. Because I know that to reach where I was can only be with you, be through you.

Pedro Salinas, from "The Voice I Owe to You," Memory in My Hands: The Love Poetry of Pedro Salinas (Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publishers, 2009)

Pedro Salinas, from “Long Lament”, in Memory in My Hands: The Love Poetry of Pedro Salinas (translated by Ruth Katz Crispin).

“Por ti las nubes altas del cielo, --gotas de lluvia-- en mí se paran, me besan lentas antes de ir hacia su tumba. Por ti los vientos inventan cánticos, suspiros, síes, aquí en mi vida.”
