Aquí te amo.
En los oscuros pinos se desenreda el viento.
Fosforece la luna sobre las aguas errantes.
Andan días iguales persiguiéndose
Se desciñe la niebla en danzantes figuras.
Una gaviota de plata se descuelga del ocaso.
A veces una vela. Altas, altas estrellas.
O la cruz negra de un barco.
Solo.
A veces amanezco, y hasta mi alma está húmeda.
Suena, resuena el mar lejano.
Este es un puerto.
Aquí te amo.
Aquí te amo y en vano te oculta el horizonte.
Te estoy amando aún entre estas frías cosas.
A veces van mis besos en esos barcos graves,
que corren por el mar hacia donde no llegan.
Ya me veo olvidado como estas viejas anclas.
Son más tristes los muelles cuando atraca la tarde.
Se fatiga mi vida inútilmente hambrienta.
Amo lo que no tengo. Estás tú tan distante.
Mi hastío forcejea con los lentos crepúsculos.
Pero la noche llega y comienza a cantarme.
La luna hace girar su rodaje de sueño.
Me miran con tus ojos las estrellas más grandes.
Y como yo te amo, los pinos en el viento,
quieren cantar tu nombre con sus hojas de alambre.
Pablo Neruda
Para Jaime,
En nuestro aniversario.
Gracias por 23 años de amor

I have more good days than bad recently, though I’m aware of the fact that in my mind time stretches. When I look at my stats I can see which were the good days and which were the bad. From October 2nd to October 7th I must have been dissociated. On those days I had an average of 50 views a day. “I” came back on October
8th and I am averaging between 150 to 200 views a day. Some people use their stats to figure out how to market their blogs. I use them as a measure of my health.
In my mind, October 2nd was a long time ago…that’s another dissociative symptom. Time seems to speed up and slow down.

There are times I wish I could disassociate. Especially when the flash-backs start. We each walk our own path I suppose. And I would be happy with 50 views a day … guess I have some work to do 🙂 You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Nothing major … just there.

You’ll get those views. It takes time and very hard work. when I ‘go away’ for a day or two my stats plummet. Remember, it’s not about the views or the ‘follower’ count. It’s about the quality of the interaction. I’m in your thoughts and prayers. That means more to me than a thousand views. Thank you.
And know that you have a friend here.
