Fernando Martinez Alderete ( Mexico ) Poetry

 

The Echo of Your Light


I don’t seek you in the stars, nor in the breeze,

For the map of my world is you alone,

A sanctuary of moments and of peace,

Where my soul finds rest and light is shown.

Your laughter is the rhyme that fits just right,

The language that I feel, yet cannot speak,

A mystic compass, steady and so bright,

Guiding me to the love that I once seeked.

If time were only sand held in my palm,

I’d stop the clock right there within your gaze,

To turn the distant days into a calm,

Eternal present that will never fade.

Because loving you is not just how I feel,

It is the way I choose to walk my part:

With your name as a breath that makes it real,

And a home that always beats within your heart.

*****

The Center of Everything

​
Beyond the noise and the rising tide,

where time no longer holds its sway,

there is a corner where souls reside:

in the heart of life, far away.

​There, peace is not a hollow dream,

but the pulse that guides the way;

in that calm center, a steady beam,

where all my shadows fade to gray.

****

Reflection in Your Eyes

​
I seek no stars in the cold night sky,

nor treasures that time will eventually take,

the flow of your river is enough for me

and the peace that your hand will make.

​You are the silence that calls my name,

the light that makes my journey clear;

if the world is a dance of shadows and flame,

you are my light and my fate, my dear.
