Se detuvo en sus ojos desnudos

Solitude, vast and cold, where her gaze still lingers,
I search for an exit that does not exist,
for her eyes became my only (home).

Home! Yet this was only mine and never his desire
As he much more liked fires burning
Whilst sitting in the wilderness
And dreaming dreams so heavily
Against the contemporaries
Thus her naked eyes so strictly chained his gaze
He wondered if she'd stay with him some weeks or days
He fast put out his brighting wildlife fire
From where I saw him soon returning
To grasp another mindset's bless
So full of eyes to see and (paths) to go

The paths were made of ants,
marching one after another,
carrying tree leaves on their backs,
to a primitive nest
dug deep within the (earth).
Los caminos eran de hormigas,
que iban una tras otra,
con hojas de árboles a cuestas,
hasta un nido primitivo
cavado en la profundidad de la (tierra).
I invite @aplausos, @casv, and @elpastor to share their verses with us.

The earth was breathing beneath my feet,
and somewhere beneath the roots, a forgotten song was waking.
I followed its whisper until the night opened like a door,
and I found myself standing where the stars had fallen into the (river).

River ran quiet through the sleeping earth, Over stones that had forgotten the sun,
I dropped my solitude in it like a small leaf,
And watched it float away into the (night).

An endless dawn
shall my dreams not fade,
sustaining the fantasies
of a soul wandering in your gaze
Eternal existence
(adrift).
Un amanecer sin fin
donde mis sueños no se desvanecen,
sustentando las fantasías
de un alma que vaga en tu mirada
Existencia eterna,
sin rumbo.

Thank you.
I really like this kind of content. It is connected to the same idea behind the earlier one, but this version feels different in its own way. I love how you have presented it and how everyone can add their own imagination to the poem. It makes the whole thing interesting and unpredictable. Thank you for bringing this challenge back.
The idea is to write a poem every week. I think we can do it, because there is a lot of talent here. Thanks for joining.
Yes of course, I agree with that ma.
