[A fellow blogger was so taken by my poem that he offered this translation into Spanish.]
¿Y no oyes
con los tímpanos del amor
mi voz desnudo a través del vació
sobre millas de aire indiferente?
No hay coro, ni banda
ni orquestra que
me acompaña ni melodía
de soledad, mientras canto para
igualar to belleza
Pero sabiendo lo que no puedo,
con gran humildad te canto
del corazón, esperando
postrarse en tu pecho

This poem is just lovely. It explains why we write without becoming arrogant.

I (and I think a lot of us on this site) have felt what you've expressed in this poem...but you have expressed it so very eloquently.
