RE: ADSactly Poetry - The Impossible Love of Cruz Salmerón Acosta
A tragic life and a love that is the archetype of surrender. Cruz María's love for Conchita has the hallmarks of a story that can endure like that of Romeo and Juliet.
I have always felt deep admiration for an aspect of the personality of the poet Cruz Salmerón Acosta that I will comment on, because your article, @nancybriti, has brought it to my affective memory. I am referring to the fact that, even when we have documented evidence of the magnitude of the pain he suffered, he never stopped singing with a smiling soul to the blueest skies. Generosity, as well as the capacity to love, were attributes of his soul that we can perceive in his poetry.
The poem "Cielo y mar" (very beautiful), which was his first known poem, is also a loving expression (not for the "Cordera") and at the same time a tribute to his friendship with José Antonio Ramos Sucre, who encouraged him to make his texts public.
Thank you, @nancybriti, beautiful semblance of that love.
When one reads or listens to what the last years of Cruz Salmerón Acosta, @adncabrera, were like, one perceives what you point out: a life among friends, for whom he read his poems aloud, with whom he sang and spoke. In spite of all the regret, the people of Manicuare remember Cruz Salmerón as a jovial person full of lights. Certainly, the poem he dedicated to the poet and friend Ramos Sucre is very beautiful and special. Thank you for always offering us your accurate and intelligent comments. Hugs
