beauty overlooked

a desert
without cactus
is like a song
without melody
or a dance
without rhythm
or a sky
without cloud
or a death
without life
or a world
without you

you are

the you
of my world
the life
of my death
the cloud
in my sky
the rhythm
of my dance
the melody
off my song
the cactus
in my desert

beauty seen

Sylvia Plath
My thoughts are crabbed and sallow,
My tears like vinegar,
Or the bitter blinking yellow
Of an acetic star.

Tonight the caustic wind, love,
Gossips late and soon,
And I wear the wry-faced pucker of
The sour lemon moon.

While like an early summer plum,
Puny, green, and ****,
Droops upon its wizened stem
My lean, unripened heart.
Cuando se mira los faroles rojos
en la orilla del mar,
mi pescador, el de profundos ojos,
pone sus negras redes a pescar.

(El mar ante la noche se ilumina,
y sus olas doradas, al nacer,
florecen como un ansia repentina
en ojos de mujer).

Pez de luna bruñida no se pesca,
pescador.
Agua del golfo, la ondulada y fresca,
deja que riegue la orilla con amor.

No persigas la forma del lucero,
que ni el agua dormida la dará;
si él, como un sonámbulo viajero,
sólo viene y se va.

Que, pobres, las corrientes y la charca
encierran ilusión,
y ajenos al peligro de tu barca
vienen sueños de luz al corazón.

Con los ojos, ya tímidos, escarbas
en los mares rebeldes a cincel,
y puede correr llanto por tus barbas
de serpientes de miel.

El agua misma, la ondulada y fresca,
ponga un poco de sol en tu dolor.

¡Pez de luna bruñida no se pesca
pescador!
I blame you.
For the dreams that died.
For the love that i will never have.
For the smile that you took from me.
I wanted to fly far away but you
Burnt my wings keeping me
In the cold darkness.
I blame you for killing me.
I like to take a negative feeling and turn it
Into something good.
We should allow people room to grow and breathe support someone in there dreams

Glenn Currier
Yesterday I worked,
deliberately moved about
doing the chores of the house
how did I generate that joy inside?
It was as if I were a walking wire
charged with electricity
motivated
moved by my recall of her
washing clothes, cooking,
all the while her body in pain.
Her love inspired mine.
The surging power of Love.
Rejoice: to feel joy again.
What a delight!
Being retired, my work is more humble, less noticeable, but more joyful.

HOPE
Incriminating of oneself to criminal prosecution,
Into a place where its dark and cold as highways of California
Hands on my back bound to bottom in chains,
With no where to hide

A long walk to freedom,
As I drag my feet to the right,
And look up in the sky with my eyes closed
Finally, I could see a tiny cloud to liberation of Sunday morning blues.
