POETRY

Time

By Paola A. Garzón Díaz
A broken clock, with shattered glass on its face, shines.

You were mine while it lasted
In body, in sheets, in endless glances.
You were mine in the frozen hours
Of two hearts determined to love
Timelessly,
In the yesterday of today and
The today of tomorrow,
Your silhouette in my mind where you live and relive,
The memory of my mornings.

We are no longer…

We are sand in tides
Playing with moon cycles
So as not to forget the seconds,
The love within watches.

Yes, that is what we are…

Love in life
Without knowing the end,
Because on our bodies
You left a mark
Which forgetting cannot erase.
