Como Un Poeta

Magos Herrera's 'Como Un Poeta' is a lyrical exploration of the profound emotions that love can evoke. The song is imbued with a sense of melancholy, not as a sign of weakness or cowardice, but as a deep, reflective state that fuels the desire to love and be loved. The opening lines, 'Oye toda esta melancolía / No es que sea mi cobardía / Sólo quiero enamorar,' set the tone for a journey through the complexities of romantic feelings, where melancholy becomes a catalyst for affection rather than a hindrance.

The recurring metaphor of feeling 'like a poet' in the presence of a loved one is central to the song. This comparison suggests that love inspires creativity and a heightened sense of expression, much like poetry. The lines 'Pues tú me haces sentir como un poeta / En tu mar de amor, tu marioneta' convey a sense of being both inspired and controlled by love, likening the experience to being a puppet in a sea of emotions. This duality of inspiration and surrender is a powerful depiction of the transformative and sometimes overwhelming nature of love.

Magos Herrera's vocal delivery, combined with the poetic lyrics, creates an atmosphere of intimacy and vulnerability. The repeated plea to 'déjame danzar' (let me dance) in the 'azul' (blue) of the loved one’s presence further emphasizes the desire to lose oneself in the beauty and depth of the relationship. The song captures the essence of love as both a source of artistic inspiration and a space for emotional refuge, where one can find solace and expression in the eyes of their beloved.
