Dulce has been writing poetry since she was a teenager, mostly in Spanish, and only for herself. She fell in love with lanuguage and literature and after reading so many great poets/poems at University, she started writing in english.
Today Dulce is 45 and an English Language teacher, teaching english to adults in Gran Canaria-Canary Islands. Enjoy! ~Brian
Perfect
This much I’ve learnt:
Cannot be always right
So hardly ever- in fact.
My knowledge
Keeps on being
That imperfect union
Between the outside
And myself.
But that constant link
With all its imperfections
Does not undermine
The importance of that bond
Of one thing
To the other...
My poetry is a reflection of what I have experienced in life, not only (though especially) love, but also any other human concerns. It's the best way to me to open my soul and get to understand my life and life in general. ~Dulce
Figure it out
I’ve disappeared through
These sheets and walls
That’s not only
Figurative.
From that start
When our hearts lost control
Knowing we were born
To grow apart
But still we insisted on
Sailing to non-existent isles.
Missing days filled
With memories
Of broken stars
As I woke up.
I’ve waited
I’ve dreamt
I’ve felt jealous and
As furious as a bear
…And I loved you
Anyway…
We could not catch the rainbow
But it was there for us to stare
From anywhere
…And you loved me
Anyway…
Guess that’s just
Figurative

Thank you so much my dear Brian for having 'spolighted' me today.
This means to me more than an award or tribute, it's a recognition of a work I've been doing for too long now- I am afraid...
I take this opportunity to thank everyone at One Stop Poetry for their always encouraging and supportive comments on my blog.
I must apologize for not having visited any of you in the last few days, but my private life is taking up most of my time, so blogging has become more a burden than a pleasure.
I like to have plenty of time to read thoroughly what people thoroughly have written for the rest of us to read.
i don't like to rush while I do it, one just'beautiful', one just'nice' doesn't mean much to me one way or the other.
That's the reason I've decided to stop blogging for a while, until the time is right- again!
Joy
and
Sweet hugs to everyone!
;-)

Your comment is unexpected, Dulce. It's been a pleasure getting to know you through your poetry, and your spotlight today does a wonderful job highlighting your skill in use of both figurative and literal usage. On a personal note, you've been a source of encouragement to many of us, for which I am extremely grateful. I do hope to see you blogging again soon. All the best, Adam :)
Wonderful spotlight Brian on a very talented writer... Her words do speak figuratively to so many of us, a bright spot in our worlds.
Good luck with your endeavors Dulce, with whatever everyday life that pulls you away. We will miss you in your absense, but we will await your return when you are at a less involved point.

My dear poet friend, your work stands alone and continues to bring beauty to us who read your blog.
