Tuyo - my translation
I'm the fire that
burns through your skin
I'm the water that
quenches your thirst.
The castle, the tower...
I am the sword that
watches your back

You, the air
that I breathe and
the light of the moon
on the sea
The neck I long to kiss
So much that I fear
I'm drowning in bliss

And which wishes
will you grant me?....
Ooohhh..you say,
"my treasured jewel,
you have only to look
and yours it will be...
yours it will be"

© Rodrigo Amarante ....translated by ANu poet
To my speed demon angel queen bee

Que coisa mais linda
Ah, se ela soubesse
Que quando ela passa
O mundo inteirinho se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo
Por causa do amor

Tuyo
Soy el fuego que arde tu piel
Soy el agua que mata tu sed
El castillo, la torre yo soy
La espada que guarda el caudal
Tú, el aire que respiro yo
Y la luz de la luna en el mar
La garganta que ansío mojar
Que temo ahogar de amor
Y cuáles deseos me vas a dar, oh
Dices tu, mi tesoro basta con mirarlo
Y tuyo será, y tuyo será

My heart the flea
My heart jumped off the couch like a flea off a dog's head that spotted a fine flea....and as it descended the fine flea noticed and caught me to save me from jumping too far

Apology
I apologize on behalf of all poets to all poets who feel they have been slighted by one or another poet's hand.  There is no hate, only love....one love...it's just that one and only one gets more love than the rest.... that's because her love is the best.
Again ...late nite addition so none you haters can use this against me....this poem is for the one and only Speed Demon Angel

Thou shalt not
Bear false witness.....
Beware of false profits, idols and scribes....they like to lie in your midst.l
I know some can't help but want to slap me with their 10" dictionary....but think outside the box people....we know it's false prophets...have you thought there could be a deeper darker more personal meaning to "profits"

When two Gods collaborate even the angels can't sing along for it makes them shed too many tears of joy.

A Great Tune
In Hell I'll Be in good Company

****** love couldn't go no further.  Proud of and disgusted by her.  Push on a little bruise and battered. Ohh Lord baby, I ain't coming home with you.

My life's a bit more colder,  ****** wife is what I told her. Brass knife sinks into my shoulder....ahhh no baby don't know what I'm gonna do

I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee, my squeeze. The stage it smells, tells, hell bells, miss spells, knocks me on my knees.

It didn't hurt flirt blood squirt stuffed shirt hang me on a tree.  After I count down three rounds in hell I'll be in good company.

Creep
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so ******' special
But I'm a creep, I'm a ******.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so ******' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a ******.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so ******' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a ******,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

The penny
I've become the penny
we've all thrown away,
tarnished scratched and worthless in the world today

Don't try to find me
I'm already gone....
....in someone else's
pocket in a world
gone wrong.  

Don't try to save me
I'm already lost
underneath the shadows
of an ice cold frost

I've become the penny in the world today...
