Poems
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
...
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
...
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
...
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

Poetry is to educate people, to lead them away from hate to love, from violence to mercy and pity. Writing poetry is to help this community better understand life and live it more passionately.

How stern are the woes of the desolate mourner
As he bends in still grief o'er the hallowed bier,
As enanguished he turns from the laugh of the scorner,
And drops to perfection's remembrance a tear;
When floods of despair down his pale cheeks are streaming,
When no blissful hope on his bosom is beaming,
Or, if lulled for a while, soon he starts from his dreaming,
And finds torn the soft ties to affection so dear.
Ah, when shall day dawn on the night of the grave,
Or summer succeed to the winter of death?
Rest awhle, hapless victim! and Heaven will save
The spirit that hath faded away with the breath.
Eternity points, in its amaranth bower
Where no clouds of fate o'er the sweet prospect lour,
Unspeakable pleasure, of goodness the dower,
When woe fades away like the mist of the heath.
...
(For Eduardo Chirinos)
Downstairs I left a candle burning
In its light I'll read a few lines when I return
By the time I returned the candle had burned out
Those few lines had faded like innocence
You walk with me
The way moon walks along with a child sitting in a train window
...
Before me are two vessels,
Filled cups; one clear, one grey.
One brimming life and beauty,
One steeped in death, decay.
My soul desires with thirst,
The love, the healing, hope.
Yet my hand grasps for the other,
The shackles, chain.., the rope..
...
Before the dawn of being,
you were a breath inside the Unspoken—
a shimmer that trembled
between nothingness and His thought.
...
Beneath transparent skies,
a silent light —
a being
softly shimmering.
...
een vlagerige, plagerige wind
duwt, duwt mij voort, valt mij
links, rechts, van voren aan
blijft mij plagen en plagen
...
Whosoever faces future faces everything
Whoever loses future loses everything
Every person wants to have a nice talk
Every person aspires to have a sun-bath
...
Why are you felling so many trees
Are you doing it just for money
Who are you to ask me
It's none of your business neither of me
...
Das Meer im Sommer, das Meer im Sommer, ein Kuss auf die Augen, eine warme Umarmung am Meeresufer, ich drücke meinen Körper ans Meeresufer, ich sammle einfach Muscheln, ich lasse mich von der Meeressonne einlullen, ich lasse mich wärmen und mehr nicht.

Keep leaves down on the grass. Keep birds in your ears. All loves may accompany you. All love may accompany you. All loves might open your mind to happyness.Happyness. Love is not to vanish, it is eternal vibe, it is eternal move.

Il est temps de se cacher, de s'arrêter, de regarder autour de soi. Il est temps de choisir un endroit et de verser quelques larmes. Le minimalisme existe, l'ordinaire existe, l'odeur de l'urine existe, l'odeur du vomi existe, l'odeur de l'étrange existe, la vue des excréments abandonnés existe. Un jour viendra où ce sentiment reviendra, ce jour viendra où je me tiendrai au centre de l'Univers avec ma conception de l'amour.

Monsters, behind the corner, monsters, monsters, who are you? Pity is the confusion between the people, pity is the continuos non sense of the events.Cry, cry, cry for nothing, cry, cry, cry for nowhere, cry, cry, cry for the past that has gone with all the victims of greed. Monsters, monsters, monsters, you will fade away with the wrong.

Come fossi acqua del cielo, come fossi acqua del cielo, come fossi acqua del cielo, scendo giù a valle, cresce il sentimento di odio verso chi nega il progresso e cresce pure il disprezzo per le cose comuni. Come fossi acqua del cielo, come fossi acqua del cielo, come fossi acqua del cielo, mi invento una favola che mi faccia sentire più su, più su di una montagna, sali, sali, sali, amore per l'essere umano, sali, sali, sali e non pentirtene mai.

At the crossroads, Old Nick he met, a contract signed in blood and devil sweat
In a deal forbade, his heart he would trade for gold and the hand of a winsome maid
So quickly a year did pass, gold spent, used, abused and dead the young lass
Time came to pay the deal, in a corn field appeared Lucifer with deed and seal
...
Throbbing pain I can't control
It crashes in waves, gnaws at my gut,
A deep ache triggered by the silence in my head.
What does it mean?
...
I dwell
In the absence
You left behind
...
If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
Indoors by technology, outdoors by speedy transport
I travel the world
Today in Japan, tomorrow in Rome,
Next day by an ancient civilization or in Hawaii or Coast Ivory,
...
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer

The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!
Sun Of The Nation; a rare gift of Providence.
Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

(This is a composition in Pilipino Language the first one I did, the only one, and hope some of the Filipinos will get this funny poem in this site. The poem is updated with English translation)

Love and lust are poles apart.
Lust is chaos, love is art.

Rappelle-toi Barbara
Il pleuvait sans cesse sur Brest ce jour-là
Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante

you put this pen
in my hand and you
take the pen from you put this pen

On this dry prepared path walk heavy feet.
This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

"Come, pretty birds, present your lays,
And learn to chaunt a goddess praise;
Ye wood-nymphs, let your voices be
Employ'd to serve her deity:

If you had the choice of two women to wed,
(Though of course the idea is quite absurd)
And the first from her heels to her dainty head
Was charming in every sense of the word:
...
A little while, a little while,
The weary task is put away,
And I can sing and I can smile,
Alike, while I have holiday.

Between us now and here -
Two thrown together
Who are not wont to wear
Life's flushest feather -

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
