Daughters of the Moon

Poem By: AngelaSteele
Poetry


Tags: daughters, of, the, moon

This is the translation of " Hijas de la Luna". If you haven't read it yet... It's on my profile. Or you could just read this without looking at the Spanish version. However, I don't really like the English version. View table of contents...

Daughters of the moon
They have come.
They invade the heart.
They smell of thorns,
Tears,
Solitude,
But you feed the fear,
And weeping,
Like two small birds,
Abandoned in a tree.

They have come,
To set afire the age of dreams,
To bid you adieu.
But you embrace yourself,
Like a desperate man embraces himself,
Like a man should only embrace his lover,
Because there is no one else.

You cry underneath your deception.
You open up the coffin of your desires,
And become richer than the night.

But there is too much remorse,
That the words commit suicide.

I'm in Spanish 3 but they accidentally put me there. I was suppose to go into Spanish 3 honors this year. My Spanish teacher says I should just skip Spanish 4 and 5 and go directly to AP, but I'm not sure if I want to. I know I am completely capable, but it would only mean more work and I really think I should focus on Chemistry next year. Thanks so much for reading, I appreciate it :)

You amaze me my friend. ^^

LOl. You amaze me too. :) Thanks so much for reading, I REALLY appreciate it!

It 'sounds' wonderful as I can read it in Spanish but to actually understand it all, I must read it in English!! Somehow, I think that many pieces lose their true flavor when translaterd so I understand that you prefer it in Spanish!

Nice work, Angela! And I love the title!!
Peace and happiness.....Jerry

Thanks so much Jerry. Yeah.. the translation did lose a bit of flavor, but I did my best to try and make it more exact and use words that could translate what I wanted to say in the Spanish version into the English one. Thanks so much for reading :)

HA HA ok this one was better. So *sigh* I was terribly wrong by guessing what it means. Goes to show why I'm so horrible at spanish. But you're in high school right? I guess that cuts me a break:) Heehee:) But this was really beautiful! The idea was just really really...gah no words! It's 6:30 am and I'm already having commenters block. But I really loved this poem Angela. It was intense in a kind of deep, night time way. The words you used were marvelous! Another great job, this is definitely a favorite of yours:)

Yeah... I did use some words that weren't even introduced yet in my Spanish 3 class. I don't blame you for not understanding it, I think i was a little hard on myself by writing it. I don't expect it to be an easy read for you all. It wasn't an easy write. :) Thanks so much for reading.

oh now i understand.it's really good.

You're making me blush! :) I don't deserve such compliments. I am merely another person who writes poetry. I think the world has enough already. What I should really be doing is trying to make a difference. Thanks so much Pratibha!
