"lave" poems
The day that I was christened-- It's a hundred years, and more!-- A hag came and listened At the white church door, A-hearing her that bore me And all my kith and kin Considerately, for me, Renouncing sin. While some gave me corals, And some gave me gold, And porringers, with morals Agreeably scrolled, The hag stood, buckled In a dim gray cloak; Stood there and chuckled, Spat, and spoke: "There's few enough in life'll Be needing my help, But I've got a trifle For your fine young whelp. I give her sadness, And the gift of pain, The new-moon madness, And the love of rain." And little good to lave me In their holy silver bowl After what she gave me-- Rest her soul!

Godmother
I bring ye wine from above, From the vats of the storied sun; For every one of yer love, And life for every one. Ye shall dance on hill and level; Ye shall sing in hollow and height In the festal mystical revel, The rapurous Bacchanal rite! The rocks and trees are yours, And the waters under the hill, By the might of that which endures, The holy heaven of will! I kindle a flame like a torrent To rush from star to star; Your hair as a comet’s horrent, Ye shall see things as they are! I lift the mask of matter; I open the heart of man; For I am of force to shatter The cast that hideth -Pan! Your loves shall lap up slaughter, And dabbled with roses of blood Each desperate darling daughter Shall swim in the fervid flood. I bring ye laughter and tears, The kisses that foam and bleed, The joys of a million years, The flowers that bear no seed. My life is bitter and sterile, Its flame is a wandering star. Ye shall pass in pleasure and peril Across the mystic bar That is set for wrath and weeping Against the children of earth; But ye in singing and sleeping Shall pass in measure and mirth! I lift my wand and wave you Through hill to hill of delight : My rosy rivers lave you In innermost lustral light.. I lead you, lord of the maze, In the darkness free of the sun; In spite of the spite that is day’s We are wed, we are wild, we are one.

Tuhade bin sannu sohneya koi hor ni labhna, Tuhade naal hi saddi rooh nu sukoon milna. Tussi saddi jaan ** mahiya, Pyaar kardi haa tuhanu inna saara. Aawe tuhanu jado hichki, Tuhadi jaan tuhanu yaad kardi. Har vele har dua ch tuhanu yaad karde, Har janam tussi hi milo ohi mangde. Saat janam ki assi hazaar janam lave, Bs sadde utte sirf tujhada haq hove. Warna koi Zindagi na mile sannu jide ch tussi na ** Tuhado baajo hor nahiyo chahida koi, Ye mahiya har janam sirf tuhadi layi hoyi. Saddi har peedh da ilaaj tussi hi ne, Rooh muskandi saddi jado tussi muskande. Sadde har nakhde tussi hi jhel sakde, Har duavan ch sirf tuhanu assi mangde. Jeho tussi khayal rakhde ** sadda, Tuhadi rooh da karun mai sajda. Ankhiyan ch ankhaa paake jado dekhde, Chand di Chandni hi hi feeki dasde. Inni khubsurat hai rooh tuhadi, Dil jeda saaf tey saccha utey mardi. Sab tou sohna sohneya mileya mainu, Jachde ** tussi hi jaan Meri sannu.

Saddi jaan
On Turning her up in her Nest with the Plough Wee, sleekit, cow’rin’, tim’rous beastie, O what a panic’s in thy breastie! Thou need na start awa sae hasty, Wi’ bickering brattle! I *** be laith to rin an’ chase thee Wi’ murd’ring pattle! I’m truly sorry man’s dominion Has broken nature’s social union, An’ justifies that ill opinion Which makes thee startle At me, thy poor earth-born companion, An’ fellow-mortal! I doubt na, whiles, but thou may thieve; What then? poor beastie, thou maun live! A daimen-icker in a thrave ‘S a sma’ request: I’ll get a blessin’ wi’ the lave, And never miss’t! Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin! Its silly wa’s the win’s are strewin’: And naething, now, to big a new ane, O’ foggage green! An’ bleak December’s winds ensuin’ Baith snell an’ keen! Thou saw the fields laid bare and waste An’ weary winter comin’ fast, An’ cozie here, beneath the blast, Thou thought to dwell, Till, crash! the cruel coulter past Out thro’ thy cell. That wee bit heap o’ leaves an’ stibble Has cost thee mony a weary nibble! Now thou’s turned out, for a’ thy trouble, But house or hald, To thole the winter’s sleety dribble An’ cranreuch cauld! But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane In proving foresight may be vain: The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men Gang aft a-gley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promised joy. Still thou art blest, compared wi’ me! The present only toucheth thee: But, oh! I backward cast my e’e On prospects drear! An’ forward, tho’ I canna see, I guess an’ fear!

Je suis exatlé de voir dans ce ciel de nuit, Auquel je dois cette plaisante fortune. En compagnie d’étoiles clignotantes, Subjugué par ce spectacle, j’admire ma Lune. Lave-moi dans ton eau argentée, translucide. Sois près de moi lors de mes blanches nuits. Veille sur moi tel un garde sans faille. Enveloppe-moi de murmures, un calme répit. Ô comme tu guides les flots ardents de mon âme! Baisse les yeux, les eaux abordent ma plage… Érode le fardeau qui étouffe mes écueils brûlants, Des sables noyés, oppressé, tendres otages. Peu de nuits à présent… Épris alors que tu t’en vas. Des brins épais et sombres de cheveux en cascades, Dissimulent ton visage d’une manière séduisante. Il n’en reste qu’un croissant, qui s’efface dans le noir. Les nuits s’écoulent… Maintenant la lune se délite M’en laissant qu’une moitié; la nuit le veut ainsi. Reste encore, plus longtemps; ne pars pas si tôt, Je ne me sens pas prêt à être anéanti. Je lève la tête sans dire un mot, alors que les nuits passent. J’ai vu mon amour lunaire se dissoudre dans l’espace. My coeur, aussi, déchiré bout par bout… Enfin, elle était partie; partie, sans laisser de trace. Depuis, chaque nuit abonde de vide et de souffrance. Je supplie les étoiles d’apaiser le vide en moi… Mais ils se contenteraient de briller, indifférents… Même suite à tous mes appels, mes émois. Desormais je suis incertain sur le nombre de passages. Les nuits n’amenèrent que l’assaut des étoiles moqueuses. Cependant je joue des promesses celestes, Pour le retour de ma folle quête amoureuse. Je sais que c’est frivole de penser que je suis le seul… C’est vrai, ils languissent; ma souffrance est la leur. Mais c’est moi qui désire le plus ton fameux regard, Car nos coeurs ont chanté dans toutes les couleurs. Ma détresse à son zénith, emplis, presque brisé, Lorsque soudain j’entends une belle chanson, lointaine. Une chanson pareille à celle que l’on prononçât, Encore garnie d’argent translucide, je soupire avec peine…, “Te voilà....”

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes, Flow gently, I’ll sing thee a song in thy praise; My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream, Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream. Thou stock-dove, whose echo resounds thro’ the glen, Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den, Thou green-crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear, I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair. How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighbouring hills, Far mark’d with the courses of clear winding rills; There daily I wander as noon rises high, My flocks and my Mary’s sweet cot in my eye. How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below, Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow; There oft, as mild Ev’ning sweeps over the lea, The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me. Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides, And winds by the cot where my Mary resides, How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave, As gathering sweet flowrets she stems thy clear wave. Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes, Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays; My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream, Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.

Afton Water
the lapping water drifting to the sand, the smugglers hurry o'er the silver wave, a rose-moon blushing where the waters lave and moonlight glistens on the breezy strand. the oars are steady, gliding to the land the stroke of midnight near a watery cave, their whisp'ring feet run silent as a grave                                               to its dark reach to hide the contraband. the waves roll mistily with honeyed breath the sky, a vault of iron, weeps a tear, the sweeping waters break and start to veer, a gold tooth glints, the night as black as death, a dreadful shout, the watch is drawing near, how suddenly their faces pall with fear!

To A Mouse (By Rabbie Burns)
Two friends, two lively runaways Skin tinted light bulb white- A vague starched contrast to pistachio Mays So many tides of turquoise fears Lave rooted feet in flight unseen thus far In moon parade resulted earthly years Few never landing kites are brushed against a shooting star Wait! Now listen. There he comes. Vein lianas pierce his pale wrists- Pan plants steps on earthy lumps - This straying soul the aging still resists You may spot him in a forest Leaving seasoned feral brae With some berries wild in August, Sweetening strangers' welcomed stay "Have you seen my Darling, boys? She wears ribbons in her hair Darns old lovely teddy toys Pray this life to her is fair." "No, but say the author tells the truth Lives your Wendy in a city And her children know the sooth They are little, yet so gritty" Peter smiled :"Well, then I will bring them all They'll attend the fairies' ball! Now close your eyes and let us fall If muffled in a fairy dust no harm will ever you befall Onward, over a forgotten cave Peter's flute in silence lays Upward for a foggy cradle crave Three flying figures in ablaze

“Evil Peter Pan”
Peut s’ouvrir un débat long comme l’éternité de savoir si vrai ou faux avait raison Don Gomez qui harangua son fils en disant : « Ce n’est que par le sang Qu’on lave tel outrage. » Ô quel mot fer, quel mot acier, sans une goute d’étain ! Le mot sans verdure, le mot rouge sans mélange, plus rouge que le sang, visant perdre le souffle au donneur de soufflet ! qui pourra le baptiser cannibalisme ou bien légitime défense ? Quoi qu’on dise, tranchons : ce fut verser le sang. Et jugeons : Ce qu’à l’époque fut d’or l’acte de le Cid1 Compeador ne le serait point aujourd’hui. C’est comme le triomphe d’Achille2 Sur son ennemi Hector. Les deux grand guerriers, avides de sang et de gloire malsaine, vallées et plaines coururent, lacs et rivières nagèrent, étangs et marécages pataugèrent, monts et collines gravirent, et descendirent en volant, se voulant l’un l’autre proie, et l’emporta le plus criminel. A l’Epoque Contemporaine Pas toute victoire ne se couvre de lauriers. La Pucelle d’Orléans ne fut-elle brûlée vive par l’ennemi, son tueur ignoré par tant, et son Nom à jamais porta la couronne à la façon de la Sainte Vierge qui jamais ne lutta que contre le péchée, et son arme au combat ne fut que piété, contrairement à Charlemagne qui fut couronné de fer dont il eut son bon usage. Le trépas d’un héro ne tue pas l’héroïsme. Ce fut le cas, ce semble, du Prince Né **** d’un palais royal. Ce Prince qu’on le nomme : Mohammed Bouazizi. La montée au sommet ne fut pas improviste ni sujet de surprise ; c’est le fruit du courage bénit, lequel conditionnera et la pluie et le soleil dans tous les coins du monde. 1.

Courage
Oh, sweet Dianne, Huntress, How ****** steps do bless These very woods through which you give your chase. Wearied now, so wish to lave In your spring off the way. To there she did repair, her holy place. Actaeon, hunter too, Left his friends, oft did do, To run with his dogs, his skill was unmatched. The same it was that day, With his friends back a way The beginnings of Actaeon's doom hatched. So it was that noble Actaeon did stumble Upon fair Dianne attended within Guarded by handmaidens But her face un-hidden The sight of which, Actaeon's final sin. "Go and tell, if you can, That you have seen Dianne Unapparelled!" she added as water, So potently bless-ed, In his face was dash-ed. Actaeon a stag, form she did alter. "Ah! So wretched is me!" No escape did he see As the great hunter became the hunted. And his dogs now gave chase Knowing not his new face, Run, Actaeon! Your life yet stunted! The chase gave for three days, Greatest, worthy of praise, Till Actaeon's poor heart did finally Break, now unto his fall To the dogs he did call. Actaeon's death, as a stag he did see.

The Fall of Actaeon
That 1 lengthy and detailed conversation we had as I fixed her a hot bubble bath, it was very necessary to figure out the pattern in which each of our souls orbited around one another's life. Life. It seems that in the seams of this biographical regime, we get lost in between 2 wings, steering without a true tale, leading with our beaks instead of our two feet. Finding elation through impatience. Determination to fly without defining our own matrix. At that particular time I just wanted to slowly sit your soft body down into that pool of lavender scented steamed water, but everything you had to say nearly drowned me. The invisible crown I continuously placed on your head suddenly vanished as my imagination panicked. I always thought that my mind was backed up by my heart which was backed up by your art. Oh how gentle you scribble. I have to erase line by line, direction by direction, affection by affection, disconnect on top off disconnection. Difficulties I'm having while looking at you lather but no longer seeing you in the picture. Watching you lave as you give me your take on how our relationship was shaped was a bit unfitting. In my mind "it's inevitable that she's open for bidding". I'm lounged against the sink in a bind. Bonded by your fondness, then detached by your honest responses. How blunt you are and how drunk I'm soon to be. Wasted vibrations, my mouth began to tremble. Somehow I find an idea to cause the both of us to tickle. Temporary bliss. Moreover all of my hard efforts that night turned out to be the worst shift. I went from pleased to please. Expectedly you never tried to appease by appealing to my needs. Draining water like my decaying heart. Drying off reminds me of my suffocated feelings. Lotion as I drink this 40% potion. Hoping of hydrated coping. Can you leave? So I can shower, attempting to rinse away the most beautifully devastating hour.

The Quiet of a Pickwickian World By Sy Roth In the silence of my Pickwickian world, A transcendent quiet stands vigil. Left to its own devices it rattles around, a lonely brown-suited courier, Hefting weighty cargo from one sooty corner to the next. Seeks tranquility in a world where, Fettered by golden reins Hobbled by unceremonial chain mail Lanced by coronets of thorns, Astride, a long-in-the-tooth steed Spurred on to wrestle shredded windmills, A cavil of unrepentant correctors rest. And they still come-- Tidal waves of disturbances, Tsunamis that rip ashore and sweep all away Into a loathsome pile, Bilious flotsam of a generation bereft of empathy. A forced silence clings to the dusty rafters Where sages once stood Hanging like KKK castoffs In a closeted Jim Crow attic of rules and regulations gone mad. A quiescent quiet demands quiet. Nestles behind muffled screams Of ages of piles of rotting flesh. Dolorous vision of a peaceful world Where peace packed for a long vacation To Edens that exist only in fairy tales. Bring with them untruths of understanding Swaddled in ****** soiled bedclothes. Leave me to my silence, Lave me of the Ash Wednesday smudge Where realities come home to roost in the dim corners Where the highwaymen have no access.

The Quiet of a Pickwickian World
J'ai de la pluie dans les yeux Et de l'eau sur le Coeur Je n'ai pas vu la sécheresse depuis que tu es entré dans ma vie Ni le soleil caché derrière des nuages de problèmes Des torrents de colère cascades de nos paroles Et nos conversations ne sont que des explosions de lave Elles coulent du volcan de notre exaspération Et brûlent tout sur leur passage Le doux lac de notre amour s'assèche Et la mer s'agite chaque instant un peu plus Mais la terre n'a plus de contrôle Et ne tremble plus sous l'effort de l'intimidation La pluie se transforme en brume Et doucement le voile de la peine se lève Pour peindre un jour plus clément. J'ai de la pluie dans les yeux Et de l'eau sur le Coeur Mais je vois à travers les larmes un jour nouveau Une vie nouvelle Un commencement Le début d'un jour ensoleillé Ou je plisserais les yeux Enfin Pour voir un sourire sur ton visage Et te regarder le peindre sur le mien.

Will you be loving me ‘til time is naught? Your fingers only know of suppleness, will they not flinch to touch skin wrinkle-fraught? My beauty withers, cup reached emptiness… Your love has set my heart aglow, renewed ‘tis ev’rytime your words lave over me... Like soothing rain on desert sand subdued, I soak it in, drunk for eternity Do forgive me, for ever doubting you, this pain has ravaged me, yet you’re still here. ‘Tis I you love, this I now know so true, please stay with me, for death creeps in so near Let saccharine lips meet for one last time The windows close now, yet leave love sublime

Transcendent Love
Du sidder ligeså stille Uden at sige noget Dit hjerte banker i en stille rytme Uden at larme selvfølgelig. Du snakker med dig selv Men kan ikke tale Du vil ikke andet Og du kan ikke høre dig selv Hænder urolige og krummende Dit hoved altid summende Du må hellere smile Så du ikke bliver set Set igennem Opdaget og afsløret Sig frem Jeg ved du kan Ikke andet du vil Du er ikke så tydelig som du tror På den gode måde selvfølgelig. Alle venter men ingenting sker Der sker ingenting Du smiler og griner Det hele er okay Hvorfor vil du ikke med? Der sker ingenting Du er i sikkerhed her Jeg ville ønske du var mig Hvis du var mig Og jeg var dig Muligheden for at kigge For at skue og blinke til Du ville se Ville kunne se mig Som faktisk er dig Hvor eksisterende du er Hvor værende du er Du ved ingenting Jeg ved det hele. Du ser hen på dem Den derovre ved siden af selvfølgelig. Altid glade Altid på toppen Uden at vise tegn på Lave tegn til FARE Det er bare en væg selvfølgelig Det er det man siger Jeg så dig en dag Faktisk i dag Du var glad Du smilte så man kunne Ja man kunne faktisk se dine tænder De var hvide selvfølgelig Du gør hvad der bliver sagt Hvad der bliver fortalt Ligesom tandlægen altid sagde Rundt i cirkler Altid mere end en gang Helst mere en fire Der var nogle Hvem var de? Der var ingen fare selvfølgelig. Det er klart Man kan hvad man vil sagde du Man vælger det man føler Man vælger hvad man tror At man fortjener Ikke alle fortjener det her Det skal nok gå Det var det du sagde Det fortalte du mig engang Nej faktisk hver dag Hver eneste dag Hver gang jeg tvivlede Det var *** selvfølgelig Alt på højkant Uden at det talte Uden at nogen holdte regnskab Som et bassin fyldt til kanten En dag vil vandet løbe ud Ud over kanterne Det var alligevel ikke så stort Vandet vil ikke blive tørret væk Det vil tørre selvfølgelig Det vil forsvinde Jeg så dig være glad en dag Nej faktisk i dag Det gjorde mig glad selvfølgelig Jeg så dig være ked En lille smule ked Af det, af hvad? Det er okay sagde du Det bliver det nødt til at være.

selvfølgeligheder
Du sidder ligeså stille Uden at sige noget Dit hjerte banker i en stille rytme Uden at larme selvfølgelig. Du snakker med dig selv Men kan ikke tale Du vil ikke andet Og du kan ikke høre dig selv Hænder urolige og krummende Dit hoved altid summende Du må hellere smile Så du ikke bliver set Set igennem Opdaget og afsløret Sig frem Jeg ved du kan Ikke andet du vil Du er ikke så tydelig som du tror På den gode måde selvfølgelig. Alle venter men ingenting sker Der sker ingenting Du smiler og griner Det hele er okay Hvorfor vil du ikke med? Der sker ingenting Du er i sikkerhed her Jeg ville ønske du var mig Hvis du var mig Og jeg var dig Muligheden for at kigge For at skue og blinke til Du ville se Ville kunne se mig Som faktisk er dig Hvor eksisterende du er Hvor værende du er Du ved ingenting Jeg ved det hele. Du ser hen på dem Den derovre ved siden af selvfølgelig. Altid glade Altid på toppen Uden at vise tegn på Lave tegn til FARE Det er bare en væg selvfølgelig Det er det man siger Jeg så dig en dag Faktisk i dag Du var glad Du smilte så man kunne Ja man kunne faktisk se dine tænder De var hvide selvfølgelig Du gør hvad der bliver sagt Hvad der bliver fortalt Ligesom tandlægen altid sagde Rundt i cirkler Altid mere end en gang Helst mere en fire Der var nogle Hvem var de? Der var ingen fare selvfølgelig. Det er klart Man kan hvad man vil sagde du Man vælger det man føler Man vælger hvad man tror At man fortjener Ikke alle fortjener det her Det skal nok gå Det var det du sagde Det fortalte du mig engang Nej faktisk hver dag Hver eneste dag Hver gang jeg tvivlede Det var *** selvfølgelig Alt på højkant Uden at det talte Uden at nogen holdte regnskab Som et bassin fyldt til kanten En dag vil vandet løbe ud Ud over kanterne Det var alligevel ikke så stort Vandet vil ikke blive tørret væk Det vil tørre selvfølgelig Det vil forsvinde Jeg så dig være glad en dag Nej faktisk i dag Det gjorde mig glad selvfølgelig Jeg så dig være ked En lille smule ked Af det, af hvad?

Un hydrolat lacrymal lave Les cieux vert-chou Sous l'arbre tendronnier qui bave, Vos caoutchoucs Blancs de lunes particulières Aux pialats ronds, Entrechoquez vos genouillères, Mes laiderons ! Nous nous aimions à cette époque, Bleu laideron ! On mangeait des oeufs à la coque Et du mouron ! Un soir, tu me sacras poète, Blond laideron : Descends ici, que je te fouette En mon giron ; J'ai dégueulé ta bandoline, Noir laideron ; Tu couperais ma mandoline Au fil du front. Pouah ! mes salives desséchées, Roux laideron, Infectent encor les tranchées De ton sein rond ! Ô mes petites amoureuses, Que je vous hais ! Plaquez de fouffes douloureuses Vos tétons laids ! Piétinez mes vieilles terrines De sentiment ; - Hop donc ! soyez-moi ballerines Pour un moment !... Vos omoplates se déboîtent, Ô mes amours ! Une étoile à vos reins qui boitent Tournez vos tours ! Et c'est pourtant pour ces éclanches Que j'ai rimé ! Je voudrais vous casser les hanches D'avoir aimé ! Fade amas d'étoiles ratées, Comblez les coins ! - Vous crèverez en Dieu, bâtées D'ignobles soins ! Sous les lunes particulières Aux pialats ronds, Entrechoquez vos genouillères, Mes laiderons !

Mes petites amoureuses
Jeg ofre mig hele tiden jeg giver mig selv til folk som kun giver halvt tilbage Kan du tage min arbejdsvagt? Ja Vil du med i byen og 2 dage i streg? Ja Vil du besøge mig og så spiser vi sammen? Ja Din flis-jakke er hæslig, skal jeg lave en ny? Ja Denne konstante cirkel af ting jeg skal, gøre og nå den gør mig sindssyg Jeg vil hellere ligge i min seng føle spændingerne forlade min krop og mærke hvor øm den egentlig er af at jeg har glemt at lytte til mig selv Jeg vil hellere se på skyer eller bare på himlen om den er lyserød, med skyer på eller blå Jeg vil hellere trække vejret dybt helt ned i lungerne, helt ned i maven og mærke den friske luft inde i mig Tankerne i mit hoved danser disco og jeg er ikke selv inviteret men det er ikke som at gå i byen ikke som 2-dage-i-streg-bytur mere som en konstant orkan hvor mit ydre er orkanens rolige øje for hvordan kan du være så rolig, Maria? Jeg ved det ikke Jo det ved jeg Har ikke haft tid til at tænke over det fordi der er en ny ofring at bringe Ingen tid til eftertanke eller fortanke Før jeg ved af det er cirklen startet igen Forfra eller bagfra Det er det med cirkler lige meget hvor den starter så vil den nå hele vejen rundt Ingen tid til eftertanke (Marolle)

Ingen tid til eftertanke
Mange møder lige to timer senere Sender trætte signaler ud i den travle by, som ingen kan følge med i. I byen, hvor alt alligevel starter automatisk op til en ny uge. Uden hjælp fra de mange, der møder lige to timer senere. Senere, udskudt, fortrængt, ligegyldigt. Lige om lidt. Lidt er ligegyldigt. Småt er ikke stort og lave forventninger er det samme som ingen. Der er brug for det bedste. Bedre skal det være. Men mange møder lige to timer senere, når det er en grå mandag og alt uden for dynen er koldt og ligegyldigt.

Mandag
Apago el cigarro Y enciendo otra botella, Los pensamientos Vienen en olas cansadas, Mar sin fondo Cielo sin tapón, Las nubes distraídas Me pintan imágenes Que me persiguen Como sábanas en la lavadora Vuelta y vuelta Ciclo interminable, Pero no importa Cuanto lave, La grama sigue Manchando Verde como jade Creciendo Entre las fisuras De las piedras Imposible de matar Con simples químicos, Solo la muerte Esperará Ver el fin De esta mente Atado a un corazón Con un lazo Torturado De amor...

Torturado...
Gulls, gannets brooding vying for plankton Acrobatic flights, flappings Swarm the blue Chirping, tweeting another To lave the silvery sea. Impishly unclad moppets Running and frolicking, Some helping their Fishermen father untwine nets The evening venture their chaste aim. Over the horizon Is the Yellow Face Lustring like a Gigantique Bohemian Chandelier Lapping on the repose waters. Someday when am ripe and mellow With means to own a crew I will sail up that mulky horizon And touch that glowing cosmic disc. But mater says "The horizon doesn't end" "It goes in league miles" "Even when a yore mile is sailed" "It's unattainable, puerile and trifling" She'd opine. Only these chiding words of hers I never take for a dime, I will engage in my venture I will stand to be corrected. This is my only demure dream I will endeavour and suckle her I wouldn't want an elegiac ending In this beach I've known for eon.
