Need Help with Spanish Love Poem - do You know Any?

[drtechnology]

Ok, there's this Dominicanyor girl, now living in Vegas, and I am a Vegas Native. Me and her hit it off, sort of, since we went to High School together. We did not talk much then, but 2 years ago I met her again at a job she was doing, and we kinda fell in love.

There's a long story, to involve a nasty BF that treated her bad and she kinda accepted it (said by her own admission left him like 8 times in 7 years, then came back to him)

Anyways - he's gone now, and me and her are broke up as friends, because I tried to show her he was not right for her, and get her to leave him once and for all.

Well she left him finally, caught him cheating on her while in NY showing him to her parents... (lol - I told her UGGGG)

Anyways been 2 years now, I would send her card and gift for her birthday (*(8-8-1981) and Christmas. Well, dunno by the Ex BF or whom, but she got prego last year, had Baby in jan, and I hear Mothers Day is in end of May, so I wanna show her I still think about her and love her, and that I am sorry for any hurt or wrong I did to her in the past...

Anyone know any Love Poems I could send her, or Sorry Powns, or I think and pray for you a lot poems, or maybe just some simple Mommy Poems she might like for mothers Day???

I don't know where to look for this, and an online google search I could find some stuff and translate it in Google Lang. Tools, but I fear plain Spanish poems are not quite same as Dominican ones, and would not know how to tell the difference.

I have been reading as a Visitor here for a week now, nice site, but would appreciate any help.

Also, I have a related post in this thread (Spanish 101) about Music - please if you would know how to help there too....

Thanks

PS - She speaks Dominican, which she admitted to me when we were kinda together as friends and then some... That her language is more a local dialect than plain Spanish, but note she DOES speak FLUENT ENGLISH TOO! I have written her many english poems, but wanted something she might cherish a bit more, being in her dialect and language..

Thanks all

Any Q's - feel free to ask me! PS - Her name is Mileisa, last name is Gomez, and her kid's name I don't know what it is, but I think it starts with a "N"

Thanks all!

PS.... Her Nicnname she uses here sometimes is MiMi... Thought that might mean something to you all? Maybe not - just a cool nickname far as I see it!

WONDERFUL SITE

and my other friend was being nice and told me Google Lang Tools now has a Translate Web Page, so I can read each poem in english and see which is best for me, or to maybe select a few... How nice

Anyone else have any fav websites or maybe a poem U made up or saw somewhere, or an artist U like lemme know.

U all are the best!

Muchos Gracias!

This is from one of my favorite poets: Pablo Neruda

No estés lejos de mí un sólo día, porque cómo,
porque, no sé decírtelo, es largo el día,
y te estaré esperando como en las estaciones
cuando en alguna parte se durmieron los trenes.
No te vayas por una hora porque entonces
en esa hora se juntan las gotas del desvelo
y tal vez todo el humo que anda buscando casa
venga a matar aún mi corazón perdido.
Ay que no se quebrante tu silueta en la arena,
ay que no vuelen tus párpados en la ausencia:
no te vayas por un minuto, bienamada,
porque en ese minuto te habrás ido tan lejos
que yo cruzaré toda la tierra preguntando
si volverás o si me dejarás muriendo.
Pablo Neruda (1904-1973)

how about this one what i wrote myself ahem.....(not quite)

Había campanas en una colina
pero nunca las oí tocar,
no, nunca las oí en absoluto,
hasta que llegaste tu

Había pajaros en el cierlo
pero nunca los vi volar
no nunca los vi en absoluto
hasta que llegaste tu.

Luego había música, y rosas maravillosas
que me dicen
en dulces y fragantes praderas
de amanecer,
y tu.

Había amor por todo el alrededor
pero nunca lo oí cantar,
no nunca lo oí en absoluto
hasta que llegaste tu.

Thanks all! ;-) Nice stuff...

Now to figure how to apologize to her, what is best to say in her native langguage I am thinking is best.... (She does speak full English though) then send a nice poem or 2 or 3.... I know Mothers day is coming up - her 1st mothers day! ;-)
