Tragedies

July 4, 2008

Star-crossed 

 

They met by chance

Some three decades ago:

A girl and a seafarer,

Young as their dreams,

And they quickly fell

In love, on a ship.

 

In the storm’s eye

Fate laid its hand on them:

No longer young, but still

In love, yet the waters

Quickly embraced them

To death, in a ship. 

 

Death steals away joy, until 

There is nothing left  but love:

Swimming from the depths,

Towards the quivering light. 

 

for Razel, whose parents died on the M/V Princess of the Stars,

after watching her being interviewed by Cheche Lazaro in ‘Probe’

Dejame que te hable tambien con tu silencio / claro como una lampara, simple como un anillo. / Eres como la noche, callada y constelada. / Tu silencio es de estrella, tan lejano y sencillo. -- Pablo Neruda, 'I Like For You To Be Still'
