Raquel Angel Nagler Poems

Around you: a halo of soft fragrance.
You purify the night, like a nocturnal flower,
With the tears of your smell.
...

-It has not rained moons for many nights.
The eyes look dry.
It makes it so difficult to love.
You murmur:
...

To be together
Even if this means
Sitting quietly side by side,
Your caress
...

It's my hand
That tries to concentrate time,
To pour
All that was, all that is, all that will be
...

Lately I feel
Like a lost shoe, detached from the step.
Its open mouth
Condemned to become a sigh in the sand.
...

When I tread, a tired wagon
On the footprints of the rails,
I wonder how do I lose myself
Step after step,
...

THE SHORE OF SOCIETY
Silent as sand
I am born with the shore in my mouth:
The congenital terror of the sea.
...

Maybe trying to possess life
Means to lose it.
I wanted to keep the breeze, the voices
In the bag of my voyage.
...

When I turn and return
Among years that don't remember me
My body whispers:
I know it for years now.
...

Maybe life is so hard to understand
Because it is so obvious:
The five seasons of a day, of love, of longing.
...
