What underhanded monkey business
razzle-dazzle bull is this?
Whose double-crossing, flimflam scam,
debauchery or hocus sham
is wheeling dealing in romance,
putting lovers in a trance?
Antics, capers or witch's brew,
enchanting hymns or shaman's stew,
whose quackery or voodoo drink
made Casanova stop and think
and turned the ancient lovers cold;
poor Romeo and nymphs of old?
Perhaps black magic's potent gel,
or craftiness or wicked spell,
a clever con or master hoax,
or just some trickster playing jokes.
Whatever ruse that works the arts,
mumbo jumbo seduces hearts!

The steady pull
of temptation--
a tease on
my resolution.
When I can sleep,
I take what dreams
afford me.
In these dreams,
my 'noxide comes
to ward me.
Her smoke is an invitation.
my conscience
falls for
the con science
of my imagination.
I give in
and reality spins.
Between the sleeps,
I lie in sanity.
I wonder:
Did I give into
my humanity?
did I'd err?
Is that
smoke in the air?

I found myself eating grass, acting foolishly
Running with animals, untamed in the fields
One day reason was granted
This understanding was painful
Reaching out I cried for help
Then a Wind heard my plea
Took pity and carried me off
Offered protection and shelter
Gave back all that was lost
Whispered, “Oh Nebuchadnezzar”
“I’ve waited for you”
Showed how love worked
Forced my soul to hear
What was given before was nothing
Compared to what lay ahead
Miradas del destino
Rodeado con Amor
This is what is to be of this
I smile and move
Como un hombre

People use this earth like a facility
To generate felicity
Finding happiness in everything that's wrong
Like drinking, smoking and using a bong
But what's the point of this when your life is gone?
You could end up a murderer or a con
Acting like everything is fine when its actually upside down
Why don't you come to Jesus Christ, exchange your cross for a crown
Girls have modesty, don't wear a sleazy gown
Coz you might attract the wrong crowd
And that's not what love is about
Let the Word of God change you inside out
And may the Holy Spirit dispel all your fears and all your doubts

Your Poem though not long
Sang such a beautiful song.
I hope I've not misunderstood
But all your words sound so good
I know I gave up and moved on
But that had its own pro and con
I thought I didn't have a chance with you
But I had absolutely no clue
So now I'm back
And I'm ashamed for all that I lack
I miss being with you
So much you have no clue
I'm sorry we didn't talk all summer
That is such a bummer
Maybe things will change now
But I don't know how
All I want to say
Is yes I will stay!

Mi Mexico lindo:
Burnt orange and ochre --
color de cafe --
pineapple, lime, red pajaritos...
land of mananas, grace in mantillas...
balanced canastas, ojos expresivos.
Sunshine and heat, fiesta y corrida,
salt and tortilla, pride and tequila.
Frijol and machismo and chile con queso.
Adobe, caliche, sweet agua fria...
Mexico, te amo mucho, y su gente amable!

To be honest your
Peanut to my butter
Moon to my ocean
Di** to my Con***

Yes I went there.
But I love you so much
You are always there for me. & I love your many accents
We can be on the phone for HOURS and have no dull moments.
We both enjoy the love for soccer & both enjoy the love of men.
We both know each other’s secrets (;
& we both get each other’s joke.
& I swear your goanna be saying
"I need the lord”
"Oh my goodness"
"This is too much"

valentines day,
Some con men blew smoke
Trusting it was adequate
Vulnerable and uncertain
We gambled from the same stack
For the beauty of your game
Men with no tells flat line their hearts
For a better chance in spades
Calling our bluffs, upping the ante
Some will fold, others will match
We have seen each others faces
Our cards presented on the table
Laden with truth, sobering
Round tables offered many suitors
I complement it, a ring of surprise
For your hand, your love, I am all in

Glowing golden

Of endless fortune of wealth,
Teachings of love
Beauty and wisdom
Pearls of joy
Giving with cheer
Pass through pain
With strength in prayer
Your charm entangles
Mine life with chords
And flames of bliss
Unfolding endlessly
Passionately kissed
With divine beauties

Bésame como si fuera el último beso en tu vida,
Con esa fuerza del amor que existe en tu corazón;
quema mis labios con la llama ardiente de tu pasión,
y que nuestras almas en ese instante queden fundidas.

Del asiento se miraban;
Ella, con su abanico
Hacia Él comunicaba:
"Serás mi caballerito..."
Se entralazan y caminan;
El "paseo" finaliza,
De frente ambos saludan,
Reverencias realizan...
Ya comenzará el baile;
Él le toma la cintura,
La dama toma la mano;
Danzan al son de cultura...
Se mueven libres "al compás",
Dan vueltas por el teatro...
Se finaliza la danza
Y juntos van al asiento.

If I wrote her name upon the shores
Of Popo Beach in New Kru Town
The envious sea wave will wash it away
If I engraved it on a stone
Along the road of Forteville
Rock crusher will split to pieces
To use for the contraction of roads, bridges and the buildings
If I melt it on a plate of gold from Gold Creek
And display for the eyes of man to see and appreciate
Warlords and con men will loot away
And violate the rights of the unborn to read
So I will write the name of this love upon here
Time after time, death after death
That posterity may read and appreciate
This love of a tender hand.

TU AMOR — Y COMPARTIMOS UN CORAZÓN PALPITANTE---
Si tuviera que conformarme con alguien;
Sólo alguien que cree como yo.
en el Dios del cielo;
Todo poderoso creador;
Tú, mi amor, creo que te elegí;
Porque con todo mi corazón eres mi amor;
Ya sea que estemos juntos o separados, eres mi amor;
Compartimos un corazón palpitante;
¿Porqué? Porque tú, yo y Dios;
eres mi amor---
I, 2, 3;
Las alegrías que me traes;
Mujer de Dios estoy muy agradecido;
Dios mi padre;
Eres mi querida;
Todos compartimos un corazón palpitante;
De los cuales nunca somos parte;
Ambos sois mi amor y compartimos un corazón palpitante;

love,
Tu rostro es tan hermoso
como el aroma de los
cerezos sueltos en primavera.
Pero hoy llegas a mí con
esas lágrimas.
Eso terriblemente socava
mi alma.
¿Qué te ha hecho el mundo
cervatilla soñolienta?
Raudos vuelan los elementos
cantando tu nombre
por entre valles, colinas,
majadas y viñedos de Engadì.
Yo te quiero para mí.
Solo para mí.
Tú eres mi paisaje.
Yo escribo y duermo en el.
Con las sandalias de tejones,
la guirnalda dorada
y el pelo al viento,
nadie es como tú.
Sobre pétalos de alheña
vaciaré el llanto y,
entre batalla y batallas,
coronaré tu historia con
los anchos recuerdos
de mi imperecedera
y violenta espada.

Poesia per Magee
Poem to Magee- Italian
C'è stato
un momento
un incredibile istante
quando ho ardito attraversare
la linea invisibile
eretta con tanta cura
fra di noi
per proteggere
i nostri soffici
muti segreti
come potevo sapere
che non sarebbe esistita
un'altra te
eppure
con un solo battito del cuore
privo di ragione
privo di freno
attraversandola sono entrato nel tuo mondo
e ti ho scoperta
il mio primo vero amore
nella mia stretta
e nella mia
vita
come potevo sapere
che non sarebbe esistita
un'altra te

love,
Sí, ya me marcho.
Largo el camino.
Intenta ser feliz.
Tú te quedas con mi mundo:
los árboles,
los pájaros, las flores,
el crepúsculo sobre las montañas,
esas nubes que siempre me miraban,
el colibrí perfumado…
Recuerda el agua del gato,
las semillas a las palomas visitantes
y al cartero salúdalo de mi parte.
Muchas cosas extrañaré.
Mi destino es incierto:
una extraña ciudad, las gentes,
los olores y hasta los parques.
Creo viviré dibujando el pasado
y bañándome en lágrimas.
¿Hasta dónde soportarán
nuestras almas?

Poetry Form: Neville
(This form is not included in list of selections)
A Yankee Dime was his pet name
for kisses he desired.
She gave them as required
oblivious of his true aim
for favors offered her.
Then, like a mongrel cur,
he left her fixed in painful shame.
He was her daddy and she thought
his love was innocent.
Unconscious of his bent
she sensed no danger to be brought
but soon she felt betrayed,
her confidence x-rayed,
her undeveloped soul distraught.
For years she fought to climb above
unworthiness she felt,
without a safety belt,
to keep at bay the hate thereof.
At last her strong faith won
of rancor there was none
nor hunger for a father's love.

Bad people do not deserve
love, or happiness. They do not deserve
everything, the universe crushed into
oblivion, dismantled as only they can
dismantle it.
As only anarchists of love
can dismantle.
We deserve each other, they say.
Vigilantes, con artists,
Loner social outcasts.
For,
wolves, ravens
even jackals,
are known to
mate for life.

Take your knife
Carne con sangre
On sale here
Cut me up
Slice me dice me
Taste my sour blood
Savor the flavor
Revenge is on sale
Bitter and sweet all for you
Bile flows through me
Thinking of your hate
You may have butchered me
Slaughtered to rot at high time noon
I have a revelation for you
I love gardens and flowers
I now am one with them
As I feed them, and bring beauty
To those who quench the thirst of love
I kiss the sun and laugh at you
hahahahahaha

"Allah, kiss me once more
Fill me with song."
-Donovan
Allah my bugs, Allah my pimples
You don't know what lurks in my dimples
Oh boy, when you kiss me
Oh joy, you get a weird disease
That all the world will see.
Allah my dogs, Allah my kittens
You don't know where I've been a-spittin'
Oh boy, to Hell and gone
Oh joy, at a Furry Con
Where you're the cat for me.
Allah my gloves, Allah my mittens
You don't know by whom I'm smitten
Oh boy, could it be you
Oh joy, it's a heady brew
I think that you'll agree.
