"colma" poems
it's 3:23 in the morning and I'm awake because my great great grandchildren won't let me sleep my great great grandchildren ask me in dreams what did you do while the planet was plundered? what did you do when the earth was unraveling? surely you did something when the seasons started failing? as the mammals, reptiles, birds were all dying? did you fill the streets with protest when democracy was stolen? what did you do once you knew? I'm riding home on the Colma train I've got the voice of the milky way in my dreams I have teams of scientists feeding me data daily and pleading I immediately turn it into poetry I want just this consciousness reached by people in range of secret frequencies contained in my speech I am the desirous earth equidistant to the underworld and the flesh of the stars I am everything already lost the moment the universe turns transparent and all the light shoots through the cosmos I use words to instigate silence I'm a hieroglyphic stairway in a buried Mayan city suddenly exposed by a hurricane a satellite circling earth finding dinosaur bones in the Gobi desert I am telescopes that see back in time I am the precession of the equinoxes, the magnetism of the spiraling sea I'm riding home on the Colma train with the voice of the milky way in my dreams I am myths where violets blossom from blood like dying and rising gods I'm the boundary of time soul encountering soul and tongues of fire it's 3:23 in the morning and I can't sleep because my great great grandchildren ask me in dreams what did you do while the earth was unraveling? I want just this consciousness reached by people in range of secret frequencies contained in my speech ©2003

Passa la nave mia colma d'oblio per aspro mare, a mezza notte, il verno, enfra Scilla e Cariddi; ed al governo siede'l signore, anzi'l nimico mio; a ciascun remo un penser pronto e rio che la tempesta e'l fin par ch'abbi a scherno; la vela rompe un vento umido, eterno di sospir', di speranze e di desio; pioggia di lagrimar, nebbia di sdegni bagna e rallenta le già stanche sarte, che son d'error con ignoranza attorto. Celansi i duo mei dolci usati segni; morta fra l'onde è la ragion e l'arte: tal ch'incomincio a desperar del porto.

Passa la nave mia colma d'oblio
V Per certo i bei vostr’occhi Donna mia Esser non puo che non fian lo mio sole Si mi percuoton forte, come ci suole Per l’arene di Libia chi s’invia, Mentre un caldo vapor (ne senti pria) Da quel lato si spinge ove mi duole, Che forsi amanti nelle lor parole Chiaman sospir; io non so che si sia: Parte rinchiusa, e turbida si cela Scosso mi il petto, e poi n’uscendo poco Quivi d’ attorno o s’agghiaccia, o s’ingiela; Ma quanto a gli occhi giunge a trovar loco Tutte le notti a me suol far piovose Finche mia Alba rivien colma di rose.

Sonnet 05
Vorticosi anelli imperlati di caducità. Volto scuro, nell'ombra del sole. Vivace tristezza volteggiante sulla testa. Scintilla di fuoco di una sigaretta sprecata. Respiro forte di polmoni, a riempire il vuoto che c'è nell'anima con l'etereo. Catrame nero e traditore, colma le mie mancanze e paziente ascolta i miei lamenti. Impassibile e maligno.

catrame
Anda, date a volar, hazte una abeja; En el jardín florecen amapolas, Y el néctar fino colma las corolas; Mañana el alma tuya estará vieja. Anda, suelta a volar, hazte paloma, Recorre el bosque y picotea granos, Come migajas en distintas manos, La pulpa muerde de fragante poma. Anda, date a volar, sé golondrina, Busca la playa de los soles de oro, Gusta la primavera y su tesoro, La primavera es única y divina. Mueres de sed: no he de oprimirte tanto... Anda, camina por el mundo, sabe; Dispuesta sobre el mar está tu nave: Date a bogar hacia el mejor encanto. Corre, camina más, es poco aquello... Aún quedan cosas que tu mano anhela, Corre, camina, gira, sube y vuela: Gústalo todo porque todo es bello. Echa a volar... mi amor no te detiene, ¡Cómo te entiendo, Bien, cómo te entiendo! Llore mi vida... el corazón se apene... Date a volar, Amor, yo te comprendo. Callada el alma... el corazón partido, Suelto tus alas... ve... pero te espero. ¿Cómo traerás el corazón, viajero? Tendré piedad de un corazón vencido. Para que tanta sed bebiendo cures Hay numerosas sendas para ti... Pero se hace la noche; no te apures... Todas traen a mí...

Date a volar
Mis lágrimas Mi angustia Mi lamento por este alma pérdida Mis miles de recuerdos de ti El dolor Mis gritos Mi corazón tan débil Mi cuerpo sin fuerzas Me atraen a tu puerta, querido Señor No aguanto tanta pérdida Abrazame por favor Quitame el dolor y estas lagrimas Da caricia a mi alma Abre a mis ojos Quita las palpitaciones de mi corazón Extiende tus brazos hacia mi. Ayúdame sentir mejor Colma mi corazón Con tu amor evangélico Envuélveme en tu abrazo amoroso Ayúdame entender "el porqué?" Silencia mis gritos Toca mi corazón Levanta mi vista, Señor Hasta tus cortes celestiales Para ser un testigo Del Plan de Redención Y que me amas Esta es mi oración En tus manos deposito mi confianza Para que algún día yo Contigo y con ellos, puedo morar Escrito por: Jason Cheney Diciembre 11, 2021
