I have shipwrecked down the sea of your eyes
and can only be saved by the brightness of your smile.
By the soft touch of your hands,
white doves that frolic with the clouds.

By your everlasting beauty,
as blue as a mother's love.
By the singing of your voice
sinking down my chest with joy.

And still...

A shipwrecked soul singing in your ear
for otherwise you would never hear.
The waves as the melody.
The stars as reflectors.

As my guitar: your dreams.
This is something I wrote some years ago. I originally wrote it in spanish (as it is my mother tongue). And now I came with the idea of doing an english translation, being this the result.

I have to say that it is slightly different from the original spanish version. And it might still look a bit odd. Be it because my current english level is not that good to write poetry. Or because I do suck at writing poetry regardless of the language. :P

So I would really appreciate any comments, but please try not to be rude! ^^;

Here's the original version, btw (in spanish): [link]

Good day to you all! =)
