"arenas" poems
Did you need something?
Sorry, I'm raiding
And I have plans with a friend
To do some high rank arenas later
"I can't right now"
Or
"Give me a moment"
And that moment turns into ten
Then twenty
Perhaps an hour that lasts a day
It's a horrible habit at times
But I don't regret where I spend my life
Twisted into the net
Immersed in this video game
Like an unhealthy addiction
Only it's not
It's my choice
You do your thing
As I hide behind this screen
Enjoying my time
Interacting with people
Over great distances
Whom I call friends
They don't judge
The way those around me do
Believe it or not
Just don't be fooled
By those creeps out there
But I promise
Good people exist
Over the net
You just have to find them

In times gone by, now recondite,
Neanderthal, ***** upright,
spoke softly, tones so lily-white,
and tried to put the world aright.
He taught us how the flame ignites
that wearing furs will warm the nights,
just why the rolling wheel excites,
and how the beveled flint stone bites.
Before the days of dynamite
he fought his foes with spit and spite,
and swung big sticks with all his might,
and rendered death with stones in flight.
Engaged in never-ending fight
(arenas were a global sight)
he forced his forces to unite
to sate his oily appetite.
To quell rude thoughts that may incite
he ruled the realm with fly-by-nights
and culled the winds of words in flight,
and darkened minds to anthracite.
With fairy tales of evil sprites
and how the fist of freedom smites,
he washed the world with flames alight
to vanquish hoards of parasites.
Each dawn the damage brought delight,
the foe was bent, a bit contrite…
yet battled on with no respite
until the dusk and evening light.
Encamped beside the firelight
Neanderthal, that shiny Knight,
awaited morn while sitting tight
assured the end would be alright.
Yes, conquest seemed his sacred right…
Forevermore?… well, no, not quite…
Neanderthal's extinct tonight
and lies beside the Trilobite…
MORAL
The Oreo is round, not bright:
while rolling near the candlelight
at first the searing seemed so slight,
the molten cream an oversight…

Andando en las arenas
yo decidí dejarte.
Pisaba un barro oscuro
que temblaba,
y hundiéndome y saliendo
decidí que salieras
de mí, que me pesabas
como piedra cortante,
y elaboré tu pérdida
paso a paso:
cortarte las raíces,
soltarte sola al viento.
Ay, en ese minuto,
corazón mío, un sueño
con sus alas terribles
te cubría.
Te sentías tragada por el barro,
y me llamabas y yo no acudía,
te ibas, inmóvil,
sin defenderte
hasta ahogarte en la boca de arena.
Después
mi decisión se encontró con tu sueño,
y desde la ruptura
que nos quebraba el alma,
surgimos limpios otra vez, desnudos,
amándonos
sin sueño, sin arena,
completos y radiantes,
sellados por el fuego.

Not all Married men are
inaccessible to a past true love
Especially mentally united.
Not all honorable unmarried men are accessible
for affairs in the love arenas
Some married men are a Knight to someone special
without any extra-marital stains.
My King lost his sword by me
all without my intention to do harm at all but mare duty to love my man more than I loved myself.
Once a married poet found his sword by me by
my virtual loving ways
and at a distance.
My old true love King of hearts thinks of me
walking, sighing love poems about our road not taken.
My avenue of the death.
I feel like a blindfolded sword gold hearted queen
who has lost her pharaoh
and can't be consoled.
I need my Knight in real life
My beloved king of hearts!
My once upon a time?
My willow tree of life.?
My ancient Pinocchio
hiding wealth name reign
and heart of gold?
Oh come to me I plead you.
I love you so.

Alta sobre la tierra
te pusieron,
dura, hermosa araucaria
de los australes
montes,
torre de Chile, *****
del territorio verde,
pabellón del invierno,
nave
de la fragancia.
Ahora, sin embargo,
no por bella
te canto,
sino por el racimo de tu especie,
por tu fruta cerrada,
por tu piñón abierto.
Antaño,
antaño fue
cuando
sobre los indios
se abrió
como una rosa de madera
el colosal puñado
de tu puño,
y dejó
sobre
la mojada tierra
los piñones:
harina, pan silvestre
del indomable
Arauco.
Ved la guerra:
armados
los guerreros
de Castilla
y sus caballos
de galvánicas
crines
y frente
a ellos
el grito
de los
desnudos
héroes,
voz del fuego, cuchillo
de dura piedra parda,
lanzas enloquecidas
en el bosque,
tambor,
tambor
sagrado,
y adentro
de la selva
el silencio,
la muerte
replegándose,
la guerra.
Entonces, en el último
bastión verde,
dispersas
por la fuga,
las lanzas
de la selva
se reunieron
bajo las araucarias
espinosas.
La cruz,
la espada,
el hambre
iban diezmando
la familia salvaje.
Terror,
terror de un golpe
de herraduras,
latido de una hoja,
viento,
dolor
y lluvia.
De pronto
se estremeció allá arriba
la araucaria
araucana,
sus ilustres
raíces,
las espinas
hirsutas
del poderoso
pabellón
tuvieron
un movimiento
*****
de batalla:
rugió como una ola
de leones
todo el follaje
de la selva
dura
y entonces
cayó
una marejada
de piñones:
los anchos
estuches
se rompieron
contra la tierra, contra
la piedra defendida
y desgranaron
su fruta, el pan postrero
de la patria.
Así la Araucanía
recompuso
sus lanzas de agua y oro,
zozobraron los bosques
bajo el silbido
del valor
resurrecto
y avanzaron
las cinturas
violentas como rachas,
las
plumas
incendiarias del Cacique:
piedra quemada
y flecha voladora
atajaron
al invasor de hierro
en el camino.
Araucaria,
follaje
de bronce con espinas,
gracias
te dio
la ensangrentada estirpe,
gracias
te dio
la tierra defendida,
gracias,
pan de valientes,
alimento
escondido
en la mojada aurora
de la patria:
corona verde,
pura
madre de los espacios,
lámpara
del frío
territorio,
hoy
dame
tu
luz sombría,
la imponente
seguridad
enarbolada
sobre tus raíces
y abandona en mi canto
la herencia
y el silbido
del viento que te toca,
del antiguo
y huracanado viento
de mi patria.
Deja caer
en mi alma
tus granadas
para que las legiones
se alimenten
de tu especie en mi canto.
Árbol nutricio, entrégame
la terrenal argolla que te amarra
a la entraña lluviosa
de la tierra,
entrégame
tu resistencia, el rostro
y las raíces
firmes
contra la envidia,
la invasión, la codicia,
el desacato.
Tus armas deja y vela
sobre mi corazón,
sobre los míos,
sobre los hombros
de los valerosos,
porque a la misma luz de hojas y aurora,
arenas y follajes,
yo voy con las banderas
al llamado
profundo de mi pueblo!
Araucaria araucana,
aquí me tienes!

Gracias a los que
entiende,
miró a ambos lados,
nunca juzgado mal por el propio bien.
los que sabían,
que se quedaron en el interior,
sin un precio,
sin ningún argumento amistad.
Para los verdaderos amigos no entienden,
se mantendrá en contacto,
y nunca, hablar mal de boca.
se levanta la moral,
contra las fuerzas que resisten, pero,
una falsa voluntad de que usted
se hunde en el fondo de arenas movedizas.
Ahora, todavía estoy esperando,
la positividad es lo que estoy deseando,
que son para siempre,
desde hace años que estamos haciendo.
por todos los recuerdos,
hemos construido un muro,
cuatro de nosotros, lo hizo todo.
A pesar de todo,
lo que el mundo nos importa?
porque yo sentía la comodidad,
en la sabiduría a todos desnudos,
que ha compartido,e deseo la felicidad,
incluso todo lo que ha cambiado,
aún estoy expulsado,
cuando nos encontremos, en algún momento,en algún lugar,
lo que puedo decir, que ha sido un parte,
y mi pasado nunca fue un llorar,
que siempre recordará,
he definido, que es la amistad.

Dejé por ti mis bosques, mi perdida
arboleda, mis perros desvelados,
mis capitales años desterrados
hasta casi el invierno de la vida.
Dejé un temblor, dejé una sacudida,
un resplandor de fuegos no apagados,
dejé mi sombra en los desesperados
ojos sangrantes de la despedida.
Dejé palomas tristes junto a un río,
caballos sobre el sol de las arenas,
dejé de oler la mar, dejé de verte.
Dejé por ti todo lo que era mío.
Dame tú, Roma, a cambio de mis penas,
tanto como dejé para tenerte.

Bajo la luna llena, que es una oblea de cobre,
Vagamos taciturnos en un éxtasis vago,
Como sombras delgadas que se deslizan sobre
Las arenas de bronce de la orilla del lago.
Silencio en nuestros labios una rosa ha florido
¡Oh, si a mi amante vencen tentaciones de hablar!,
La corola, deshecha, como un pájaro herido,
Caerá, rompiendo el suave misterio sublunar.
¡Oh dioses, que no hable! ¡Con la venda más fuerte
que tengáis en las manos, su acento sofocad!
¡Y si es preciso, el manto de piedra de la muerte
para formar la venda de su boca, rasgad!
Yo no quiero que hable. Yo no quiero que hable.
Sobre el silencio éste, ¡qué ofensa la palabra!
¡Oh lengua de ceniza! ¡Oh lengua miserable,
No intentes que ahora el sello de mis labios te abra!
Baja la luna-cobre, taciturnos amantes,
Con los ojos gimamos, con los ojos hablemos.
Serán nuestras pupilas dos lenguas de diamantes
Movidas por la magia de diálogos supremos.

I wish people were smarter
And even with this singular declaration you bristle
Cocked head, tense claws digging into air or own thighs
Ready on the defense
So I prepare to have “Pretentious Snob” branded onto my forehead
The metal meeting the fore of my skull
Don't act as you would do otherwise
I can see you dipping your tool into the fire,
Ready to reveal glowing edges
Beneath an illuminated face
But I stand by that which I have said before,
I wish people were smarter
That you would stop gossiping over her scandal
That you would instead remark on how scandals change the world so microscopically.
That you would attempt to trace the origins of gossip
That you would see the irony of wanting to know everything
about a person
if only from another mouth
But you don't even bother to entertain such ideas
And so I stand on stage alone, audience-nil
I wish people were smarter
So that when I have a new thought
Discussion and open ears sit down at my table
Rather than me waiting for the hostess to (never) call my name
Left to hear only the sound of eyes rolling in your well-oiled sockets
and a chorus of
“There she goes again”
Why do you refuse to come with me?
You are invited
And if ever there is a Bitterman, party of one
It is I, trying to discuss the concept of originality
(As in does it exist among influence)
While you chat of liking songs only for the good beat
(It's got something, I don't know what it is)
I do try.
That is to listen to incessant conversations about spats and fights
In truth they bore me so!
All with the same ending
Emotions stuck on the same unmoving clock hand
Of never change
You may have an excuse
Perhaps you find an analysis of Harold Bloom exhausting
Or write it off as too like school
Well I do like school
And thinking
And questioning
And wondering
And so I wonder
if you aren't exploring such prospects
What on earth are you doing?
It seems so mundane to act otherwise
We all seek to fight against boredom
Or so we claim
Perhaps we are in different arenas
Maybe the simplest of messages is the most clear
To face branding or to avoid:
I wish people were smarter

Algo está buscando el sol.
Busca la luna a su cara escondida.
Las estrellas han perdido su firmamento
y buscan las nubes a los vientos.
Busca el cóndor al hombre desaparecido.
Los petreles buscan y las toninas
al mar buscan que se afana
a la caza de una cumbre
de una cumbre extraviada
que se esfuerza por hallar a sus abismos.
Los leones marinos
añoran los témpanos perdidos.
Las arenas se afanan en busca de un desierto.
Añora a sus alas la mariposa.
Busca a su selva el copihue.
Hurga el cielo en el espejo
de mis ojos vacíos.
Separado de mí mismo
yo me busco perdido entre las hojas
de un libro difícil de entender.

Poems are born and given
names like people are don't they?
vested with special brainy wings right? then ejected!
as if birthing slides
help push them through
a cyber time machine
computerized world
poems seem to travel
as in rockets to space
yes that fast!!
Others ballooned by air
in baskets moved slowlier
or in simple rainbow sorted
balloon batches and
then gone with the wind!
inflated by helium air
initials inscribed on each
from the parent poet or poetess
"A lot more happens
to poems"
Lucky few reposted by the
holy sages of H.P
a few more seem air lifted in
an eye blink secluded in mysterious arenas
Jack in the box boxes!
private uncirculated rooms
there reveared?
All poems in my world
seem firstly inspected by
the same compassionate
doctor, few masked Knights
powerful mystery kings
birds of song, purring cats
even angry dogs all sorts
same crafty nurses seem
to eagerly revise
their parchment scrolls
and from there nothing
is heard of these
baby boomer poems
or if ever are read by others again who can tell? It's unclear unless a fee is paid
its like having children
really isnt't it?
that must be sent away as in
time machine missions once named treasured revised
adored then freedoms grant'd
some poems will make it explored reapearing loved reposted moving priceless!
other poems perish
by green with envy
other muses hubbering
curiously around
lizards wizards snakes
all sorts.
Poems seem to travel
dead silent through
a cyber mirror
Twilight Zone

Espíritu sin nombre,
indefinible esencia,
yo vivo con la vida
sin formas de la idea.Yo nado en el vacío,
del sol tiemblo en la hoguera,
palpito entre las sombras
y floto con las nieblas.Yo soy el fleco de oro
de la lejana estrella,
yo soy de la alta luna
la luz tibia y serena.Yo soy la ardiente nube
que en el ocaso ondea,
yo soy del astro errante
la luminosa estela.Yo soy nieve en las cumbres,
soy fuego en las arenas,
azul onda en los mares
y espuma en las riberas.En el laúd, soy nota,
perfume en la violeta,
fugaz llama en las tumbas
y en las ruïnas yedra.Yo atrueno en el torrente
y silbo en la centella,
y ciego en el relámpago
y rujo en la tormenta.Yo río en los alcores,
susurro en la alta yerba,
suspiro en la onda pura
y lloro en la hoja seca.Yo ondulo con los átomos
del humo que se eleva
y al cielo lento sube
en espiral inmensa.Yo, en los dorados hilos
que los insectos cuelgan
me mezco entre los árboles
en la ardorosa siesta.Yo corro tras las ninfas
que, en la corriente fresca
del cristalino arroyo,
desnudas juguetean.Yo, en bosques de corales
que alfombran blancas perlas,
persigo en el océano
las náyades ligeras.Yo, en las cavernas cóncavas
do el sol nunca penetra,
mezclándome a los gnomos,
contemplo sus riquezas.Yo busco de los siglos
las ya borradas huellas,
y sé de esos imperios
de que ni el nombre queda.Yo sigo en raudo vértigo
los mundos que voltean,
y mi pupila abarca
la creación entera.Yo sé de esas regiones
a do un rumor no llega,
y donde informes astros
de vida un soplo esperan.Yo soy sobre el abismo
el puente que atraviesa,
yo soy la ignota escala
que el cielo une a la tierra,Yo soy el invisible
anillo que sujeta
el mundo de la forma
al mundo de la idea.Yo, en fin, soy ese espíritu,
desconocida esencia,
perfume misterioso
de que es vaso el poeta.

The heart-warming sound of an acoustic guitar provides sincere resolution amidst the anguish of uncertainty, in the same manner as the classical Spanish guitar projects her intensities in Sierra Nevada assertions.
Consider the beauty of the finca, as she is a throbbing source of sustenance where romantic pastels merge into an array of Moorish delight.
Let us never forget that such instruments of eternal communication cannot find affiliation in the arenas of Roman legacy.
I give thanks to the order of being for the tuning of the symmetrical aphrodisiac.

Grata la voz del agua
a quien abrumaron negras arenas,
grato a la mano cóncava
el mármol circular de la columna,
gratos los finos laberintos del agua
entre los limoneros,
grata la música del zéjel,
grato el amor y grata la plegaria
dirigida a un Dios que está solo,
grato el jazmín.
Vano el alfanje
ante las largas lanzas de los muchos,
vano ser el mejor.
Grato sentir o presentir, rey doliente,
que tus dulzuras son adioses,
que te será negada la llave,
que la cruz del infiel borrará la luna,
que la tarde que miras es la última.

El viento rinde las ramas
con los pájaros dormidos.
-Abre tres veces el faro
su ojo verde-. Calla el grillo.
¡Qué lejos, el huracán
pone, uno de otro, los sitios!
¡Qué difícil es lo ficil!
¡Qué cerrados los caminos!
Parece que se ha trocado
todo. Pero al claror íntimo
se ven arenas y flores,

Deep within the spacial abyss that is my brain
There lies a little blue planet called “Paul”.
Hidden away from most of reality
This world is full of wondrous dreams.
Its drifting continents are full of sporting arenas,
Traditional pubs and inns
And swarms of gorgeous women.
Lofty mountains overlook sandy beaches
Fringed by sun kissed palms.
Endless vistas of hill and dale
Teeming with Life.
There is a Dark Side too:
I have my “Mordor” for sure
And my own Sauron.
Who doesn’t?
Lands full of man eating wasps
Fearful ghouls and witches
And torture chambers
Full of dental equipment.
Giant eyes
And Mirrors
Which take on a life
Of their own.
But let’s focus on the Brightness here:
The music and poetry
And even dance
And romance!
A place where we can “Get Around”
To Beach Boys harmonies,
Rock to Chuck Berry
And enjoy whatever delights Carlsberg can conjure up,
If not a pint of “Willy’s Beer”
From Cleethorpes.

one of the greatest tragedies
is not only idolizing someone as a teenager
but have them inspire you to the point where you are
completely, exactly, perfectly
yourself
in the purest sense
because you identify with their simplicity, their humbleness
and the way they write not for fame, but for themselves
only to have time pass, where you are stripped down to nothing but
a naked lost sad scared wide-eyed adult
and that person is long gone only to be found
on tv screens and magazine covers, decked out
in golden dresses and singing for billions in prestigious stadiums and arenas
both of you as far apart and as distant as a corpse from its soul
no trace of inspiration to be found
i used to love you
but now you wear too many necklaces
and too much makeup
and you can no longer write
worth ****

Hoy me pegue un golpe, que me debi de haber pegado hace mucho
me dolio pero tenia que doler, asi es el asunto
espero esto me ayude a salir de ese abismo
que siempre que digo que ya no estoy en el, me hundo mas
Los sueños que llegue a tener estan hechos pedasos
que bueno que estoy solo asi podre pensar
poder imaginar y darme cuenta lo estupido que fui
querer vivir mi vida, dedicado a un regreso que nunca pasara
Espero esta vez las arenas movedisas no me jalen
que mi mente vuele lejos de aqui
a lo mejor era la excusa perfecta
pero hoy me di cuenta, hoy te fuiste, para siempre
No queria publicar nada sobre esto
pero tenia que sacarlo, en mi mente ya no puede estar
esta carcel se rompio, los barrotes ya no existen
probare la libertad que tanto anhelo
probare quien soy y que simple y sencillamente YO PUEDO!
Me siento mal pero esto no puede conmigo, este aliento frio me hara salir adelante, nunca para atras el hecho es que vamos para adelante, sin freno, sin detenerme nunca mas.

Ay hijo, sabes, sabes
de dónde vienes?
De un lago con gaviotas
blancas y hambrientas.
Junto al agua de invierno
ella y yo levantamos
una fogata roja
gastándonos los labios
de besarnos el alma,
echando al fuego todo,
quemándonos la vida.
Así llegaste al mundo.
Pero ella para verme
y para verte un día
atravesó los mares
y yo para abrazar
su pequeña cintura
toda la tierra anduve,
con guerras y montañas,
con arenas y espinas.
Así llegaste al mundo.
De tantos sitios vienes,
del agua y de la tierra,
del fuego y de la nieve,
de tan lejos caminas
hacia nosotros dos,
desde el amor terrible
que nos ha encadenado,
que queremos saber
cómo eres, qué nos dices,
porque tú sabes más
del mundo que te dimos.
Como una gran tormenta
sacudimos nosotros
el árbol de la vida
hasta las más ocultas
fibras de las raíces
y apareces ahora
cantando en el follaje,
en la más alta rama
que contigo alcanzamos.

Snakes were here by the grace of God, but
knowing Him, He set them down while He fiddled
with an Egyptian plague, forgetting where He’d left them.
The Navy brought mongooses to eat the snakes
so they could relax and shell the sunrise coast in peace
but mongoose got to eat, as any chicken farmer will tell you.
Spain sent Church and State astride the horse, but conquistador and cleric
dismounted to take in a sunset from ***** Arenas while the sea breeze
whispered soft and sweet to a restless stallion and his starry eyed mare.
Ticks in the grass, indifferent to bombs, bitter on mongoose tongue
bloated equestrians each every one, blithe captives of nothing
but the cold blue Atlantic and the turquoise bath of the Caribbean Sea.
Bored by the endless cycle of creation and destruction, inspired perhaps
to beauty or by niggling guilt, God unveiled the egret, elegant in its simplicity
with a taste for tick and a knack for lazy symbiosis.
The Malecón sways with rhythms we won’t bring back in our carry-on’s, a drink
down the road from the old United Fruit Company dock, short stroll to sugar house
ruins, unhurried drivers nodding to afro-son, waiting for horses to make their way.

¿Qué es la tarde para mi?
La tarde para mi es :
Un sótano de arenas dormido
sobre un cielo roto
Un rincón de blandas enredaderas
Un cónclave solitario
Un pájaro albino sin miel
Un péndulo inmóvil
Un río sonámbulo derramando sombras
Una palabra atascada en la garganta
Y un canto mortal para mis antiguas pisadas.

If I had talent, I’d be a musician
I’d play for small crowds or big arenas
I’d be able to command the attention of an audience
I’d charge buckets of money or sometimes not charge a thing at all
If I had guts, I’d be an actress
I’d wear designer dresses to all the award shows
I’d become any character anyone could come up with and
I’d even move to LA or New York
I’d hide from paparazzi and enjoy every second
If I had grace, I’d be a dancer
I’d glide across the floor, making every step look effortless
I’d feel the music through my toes and in my heart
I’d have perfect pirouettes and flawless leaps
I’d be so beautiful
If I was braver I’d be a poet
I can write poems until my fingers bleed
String words together on lined paper
Watch them as they tumble from my pen
Sometimes I even wake up in the middle of the night
Just to write down some lines or stanzas
But no on ever reads them
I keep them tucked away in notebook after notebook
Hidden by school notes or doodles
I leave them all to collect dust
If I was braver, I’d be a poet
Instead I hide my poetry away from prying eyes
Out of fear, I let the pages rot
Until I lose myself in their wilted corners
And I can feel my soul begin to wilt as well
Through the rhymes I choose to ignore
To the poetry I give pieces of myself that no one will ever see
If I was braver, I’d be a poet
