Quien sabe donde van las musas cuando duermes..alborotan los sentidos en los hombros cansados. El tiempo se escapa entre los dedos y el cuerpo rodea los otoños tan deprisa que un parpadeo esquiva una sonrisa.

Quien sabe donde van cuando las nombras con ansia y la historia de un presente,pasado y futuro se reescriben en renglones tímidos.

Quien las crea.. algún soñador que las escucha en cada respiro del sueño .

 

Who knows where the muses go when you sleep... they stir the senses on weary shoulders. Time slips through your fingers and the body surrounds autumns so quickly that a blink of an eye avoids a smile.

Who knows where they go when you name them eagerly and the story of the present, past, and future is rewritten in timid lines.

Who creates them... some dreamer who hears them in every breath of sleep.

Moon.

Groundskeeping

 

Throughout a lifetime

Our garden prose

Has carried heart weight

And it has been amongst the boughs

And arbors and mindful footfall

That new seasons are nourished

And my fingers are rooted in yours

.

Happy Valentine's Day to my love. xoxoxo

¿Qué hacer?

Aprender los huecos

caminar

hacia lo que se fuga

inventarse en el devenir:

que la tensión sea simiente

fruto

árbol al que trepamos

para ver más lejos y

seguir soñando.

Arturo Borra

 

To do?

Learn the gaps to walk towards what escapes,

invent in the future:

let the tension be seed

fruit

tree that we climb to see further and keep dreaming.

We have lost even this twilight.

No one saw us this evening hand in hand

while the blue night dropped on the world.

 

I have seen from my window

the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops.

 

Sometimes a piece of sun

burned like a coin in my hand.

 

I remembered you with my soul clenched

in that sadness of mine that you know.

 

Where were you then?

Who else was there?

Saying what?

Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly

when I am sad and feel you are far away?

 

The book fell that always closed at twilight

and my blue sweater rolled like a hurt dog at my feet.

 

Always, always you recede through the evenings

toward the twilight erasing statues.

 

Pablo Neruda

The cure of time

taken with early stops from the November dew to the uproar when spring awakens.

 

It pauses in the embrace, exhausted, waving on the shores until the full moon of August sinks into the sea.

Then the decayed arrives, and the earth once trodden by bare feet is renewed...and even the most melancholic recites a poem to the love that departed on the last summer night.

 

How many will remain to come, walking with different skins and forgotten footprints from childhood.

 

Will this cure have a sweetness on still-juicy lips or will it bring forth some furrow, shy and salty, in that same mouth.

 

It is a heartbeat in the chest

a creation without absence

the train of life.

Møøn.

A WOMAN.

 

She is like that.

Of those.

It's like the times that the verse jumps from its abysses. It is thrown.

Scream, dance, jump, cry.

It's one of those.

It's like sensitivity spontaneous poetry, like that blank paper who is silent, but it knows you and keeps you. He barely reproaches, It can barely be heard.

By Gata Cattana.

Du haut de ma colline ,

J'attends le Printemps...

Dans l'hiver qui décline ,

J’attends le beau temps...

J'ai la tête qui jardine,

Et mon cœur imagine

Des fleurs rouges sanguines,

Des anémones sauvagines.

Des glycines qui dégoulinent

Sur le vieux mur en ruine.

Et mon âme baladine,

Se griffe aux dures épines

De mes roses qui illuminent

Le brun vert de mes rétines .

Et ces crocus en crinolines.

Et ces tulipes rouges aubergines.

Et ces dizaines de capucines ...

Et le muguet qui prend racine ...

Et dans les branches fines

De doux chants me fascinent,

Aussi suaves qu'une mandoline...

Mais..... OUI....j'hallucine !!!!

30 degrés dans ma piscine ??

Cette fois , il me faut une médecine !

Pour calmer mon cerveau qui turbine !

Faut -il peut -être qu'on me vaccine ?

Qu'on m'isole, qu'on me confine ?

NON...je vais être plus maline...

J'ai une autre combine...

Viens Lily....on se débine...

On va prendre une bouffée de vitamines.

On va respirer les aubépines,

Regarder les juments qui poulinent,

Et les vaches qui ruminent.

On va mettre nos plus belles bottines.

Oublier les usines, la benzine et les voisines.

Effacer les Méssalines ,

Et tout ce qui nous chagrine.

Marchons sur ce sentier qui chemine

Au milieu des étamines.

Et au retour...on mangera

Des tartines et de la mousseline !!!

ET....

On plongera dans la piscine !!! 😉

You squeeze your eyes shut tightly,

like a little girl summoning

a figure, a little star, her blood capillaries,

branches of electricity from the brain,

clouded inner girls,

so you squeeze them shut tightly

so that the light cannot pass through.

 

However, the light

penetrates the fabric of your eyelids

and reveals you.

 

Even if you don't want it to.

By Marta Sanz.

 

Aprietas los ojos muy fuerte,

como niña al convocar

figura, estrellita, sus capilares sanguíneos,

ramalazos de la electricidad del cerebro,

obnubiladas niñas interiores,

así, los aprietas mucho

para que la luz no pase.

 

Sin embargo, la luz

traspasa la tela del párpado

y te descubre.

 

Aunque no quieras.

The job

There is nothing more lonely than writing a poem.

Although the outside screams are present there.

 

There is nothing more alone than to write a picture although the noise of the world wants to interfere. Nothing but loneliness in this language game.

 

There is no one lonelier and silent than a poet in the craft of writing the world, again, to imagine its beauty.

By Carmen Yañez.

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky. We fell them and turn them into newspapers that we may record our emptiness.

 

-Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

 

Left blooming alone;

All her lovely companions

Are faded and gone:

No flower of her kindred,

No rose-bud is nigh,

To reflect back her blushes,

Or give sigh for sigh.

 

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one!

To pine on the stem;

Since the lovely are sleeping,

Go, sleep thou with them.

Thus kindly I scatter

Thy leaves o'er the bed,

Where thy mates of the garden

Lie scentless and dead.

 

So soon may I follow,

When friendships decay,

And from Love's shining circle

The gems drop away.

When true hearts lie wither'd,

And fond ones are flown,

Oh! who would inhabit

This bleak world alone?

 

Poem by Thomas Moore

 

She was not alone

but had aphids of her own

Suddenly the smell of mimosas

like a breathing torch

or like an immemorial wave

that kisses the expectant nudity of the beach.

 

It's just the door

that opens, but sets in motion

an air where it curdles

all the sweetness of this precarious autumn.

 

by Jorge Riechmann

Has heat that cuts through the static sky

With its coffee stained clouds

Breathes an uneven dust

Will not back down even if you

Offer him a Stroopwafel

It’s a pity he’s wrecking the city

But he is honestly just a big angry kitty

Who holds grudges over hundreds of years

Senses our utterly human fears

No flood here

But flames and the Black Death may abound

Wherever Dutch monsters are found.

Imagine the world, the world, the world without a song

Without a bass, a bass, a bass without a drum

Can you imagine the night, the night, the night without the moon

And when the daylight comes, it comes, but it comes without you?

See you are the song, the bass, the drum, the moon

You are the song to

Remember me, remember you, discover you

And the world is and we are so in move

 

So this is the place that always seems to be better than where you have been

So you run towards the new day rising in the distance

And you walk away from the days that found and fought you

You always seem to hear God when it comes

Even when it comes from the millions of voices that call to you

 

You make me want to listen for him a little bit harder too

You are a rose that blooms for a second chance on the all of the seasons

A wave that breaks on a shore left for decades deserted

You make me feel like you waited for us to exist

We are a translation of a perfection that just is

So take this hand from me,

Show me to your world

 

Bring this dance alive

Your love can paralyze my feels of falling

Carry my heart slow, see

See, I swear where you go, I'll follow

See into my soul

And I will take you home to love you

Coz this is a poem for love

 

Well, I can take one more day

Got to find my way with this one

To see the things I'm not great

All it leaves is a world falling apart

Falling into the deepest part of my heart

I can take my time

The life won't, won't just pass me by

I'ma stop tracing outlines

See this is the beauty of flowers growing underneath the sunshine

 

Knowing, water takes water to wine

Wine takes the grapes, grapes make the wine

And the wine breaks, breaks, breaks my veins

I see my, my name inscribing concrete walls

A day beyonds and centuries beyond

I can take myself away but not be gone

If I see my mind, hope on this time

Read the book each page and line by line by line

I can take my time or day to time

I speak my mind, I speak it all high

I speak this rhyme this time and never again, never again

 

Imagine the world, the world, the world without a song

Imagine the bass, the bass, the bass without the drum

Can you imagine the night, the night, the night without the moon

And when the daylight comes, it comes, but it comes without you?

See you are the song, the bass, the drum, the moon

You are the song to

Remember me, remember you, discover you

And the world is and we are so in move

 

Take this hand from me

Show me to your world

Bring this dance alive

Your love can paralyze my feels of falling

Carry my heart slow

I swear where you go, I'll follow

See into my soul

And I'll take you home to love you, love you, love you

I'll follow you yeah, I'll follow you yeah, yea

I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow

 

No poem can save us but can say:

on sunday nights

I am a specialist in absence

I can dissect it analyze its parts

and see it multiply all over the house.

 

The seed in the wound of the earth blooms.

 

it is possible that the time take root in unusual places while you fix your hair to contemplate the plants in the garden life may be nothing more than that.

By Nadia Sol Caramella.

 

Ningún poema

puede salvarnos

pero puede decir:

los domingos por las noches

soy especialista en la ausencia

puedo diseccionarla

analizar sus partes

y verla multiplicarse

por toda la casa

***

la semilla

en la herida de la tierra

florece

***

es posible que el tiempo

eche raíces en lugares insólitos

mientras vos acomodás tu pelo

para contemplar las plantas del jardín

puede que la vida no sea más que eso

Causa imperfecta, descolorido sin la luz que sale del cuadrante de esta casa... el silencio es el santo grial a guardar en lo más profundo del pecho.

 

Efecto perfecto, deslumbrado en el alféizar de la ventana por el tímido rayo, como una llama... los susurros son la partitura de una frase inacabada en los labios temblorosos.

 

Moon.

  

Cause imperfect, discolored without the light that leaves the quadrant of this house... silence is the holy grail to keep in the depths of the chest.

 

Perfect effect, dazzled on the windowsill by the timid ray, like a flame... the whispers are the score of an unfinished phrase on the trembling lips.

Moon.

I THINK

by Clancy (Fancy-Pants) Donnelly

 

I think that I shall never find

An owner who could be more kind

 

"Aw, that's sweet--wait, did you break something?"

 

I think that I shall never fail

To love the Prescott-Russell Trail

 

I think that for an active dog

The place to be is Mer Bleue Bog

 

I think it would be tough to find

A dog brain intelligent as mine

 

"Oh, brother."

 

I think no matter where you roam

You'll find nothing wonderful as my poem

 

"You done?"

 

Yes. What did you think?

 

"I think that I shall never see

a bigger ego than has Clancy."

 

Hey, not bad, I can use that!

To see the Summer Sky

Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -

True Poems flee.

~Emily Dickinson

Today I thought, I'll put the German original Poem underneath the English version. Hope, you enjoy this. Have a wonderful Sunday!

 

Upward Bound

 

A hot air balloon in morning light,

Drifts through skies of endless height,

Its colors bold, its path unknown,

A symbol rising all alone.

 

No tether holds, no voice commands,

It floats above the shouting lands—

Where minds are free to soar and speak,

And truths are neither mild nor meek.

 

Each gust of wind, a thought set free,

Each flame, a word in liberty;

Together rising, thought and voice,

In silence, noise becomes a choice.

 

So may we lift, with hearts unbound,

Where dreams and speech and thoughts are found—

A sky where minds, like balloons, glide,

Unafraid, and dignified.

  

Aufwärts Getrieben

 

Ein Heißluftballon im Morgenlicht,

Schwebt durch den Himmel, weicht der Sicht,

Sein Farbenspiel, sein freier Lauf,

Ein Zeichen, das sich hebt hinauf.

 

Kein Seil, das hält, kein Ruf, der lenkt,

Er fliegt, wo niemand ihn bedrängt—

Wo freies Denken leise spricht

Und Wahrheit flackert, hell im Licht.

 

Ein Windstoß – wie ein freier Sinn,

Die Flamme – Worte, klar darin;

Gemeinsam steigen sie empor,

Gedanke, Stimme, leises Chor.

 

So mögen wir, vom Herz befreit,

Erheben uns zur Klarheit weit—

Ein Himmel, wo Gedanken zieh’n,

Unerschrocken, stolz und kühn.

Fortepiyano çalıyor

Gittikçe umutsuz bir müzik

Taklacı güvercin havalanır

Birisinin beyaz avucundan

Gece çiçeği gibi açık

Kendimi bırakıyorum

By Javier Velaza:

We don't know how to love, we just plagiarize.

We love as we believe it should be done,

with other people's words, with caresses

copied and borrowed gestures,

we emulate the kisses, the postures,

the gasps, the protests, the goodbyes.

 

Yes, we also unlove by imitating,

our cruelty is also mimetic,

mannerist the oblivion we suffer.

 

Don't let them teach you how to love,

disobeys Ovid. May your hug

be different from everyone else,

innovates in every care, creates unprecedented

tenderness, reinvent passion,

be original, inimitable, unique.

 

May everyone have to say about you

that love did not exist until you loved.

 

No sabemos amar, solo plagiamos.

Amamos como creemos que ha de hacerse,

con palabras ajenas, con caricias

copiadas y prestados ademanes,

emulamos los besos, las posturas,

los jadeos, las protestas, los adioses.

 

Sí, también desamamos imitando,

nuestra crueldad es también mimética,

manierista el olvido que sufrimos.

 

No dejes que te enseñen cómo amar,

desobedece a Ovidio. Que tu abrazo

sea diferente a todos los demás,

innova en cada mimo, crea inéditas

ternuras, reinventa la pasión,

sé original, inimitable, único.

 

Que de ti tengan todos que decir

que no existió el amor hasta que amaste.

............................................. “Midway”

  

I don’t know all the bright and shinning paths to heaven,

 

But I do know that midway along the way we choose

between shadow...and light.

 

I don’t know if a day shall be marked... "end of days"

 

But I do know that if it were so, it would fall midway

between counted yesterdays and uncounted tomorrows.

 

I don’t know if any breath bent to word can truly be true

 

But I do know the moments most pure are laid midway

between a breath drawn ...and a sigh released.

 

I don’t know if one should whisper aloud just how passionate the kiss

 

But I do know that given the chance I would linger midway

between your longest …and your sweetest.

  

I don’t know how far exactly from "here"... to "there",

 

But I do know that "midway" is charted somewhere-

between the setting of sails and the lifting of anchors.

 

...Sigh,

 

I won't pretend... I don’t know all the bright and shinning paths to heaven.

But I do know that when I follow you -

 

..."heaven" is found on a wing and a prayer, midway

-between a divided cloud, and a last sacred light of day.

 

...

Emotion realized

Her mouth was parched and bruised

The same as the hibiscus petals

In a heap on the table

Awaiting sympathetic water

To revive pink affections

And refreshment to satiation

This is the title page of Bret Harte's 1871 book, "Poems"

... actually, I have no idea.

To feel poetry is all around you,

the music flows from everywhere,

that you are inside a romantic painting

and emotions overwhelms you!

That's what I wish, that's what I lived there...

 

Sentir que la poesía está a tu alrededor,

que la música brota de cada rincón,

que formas parte de una pintura romántica

y tus emociones te embargan!

Eso es lo que deseo, eso es lo que viví allí...

Rabbicorn story poem two

brynoh.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-rabbicorn-story-scene-two...

 

When she was done

she knew the Rabbicorn must go

and that the government

must never know

 

For they would not

care about her heart

they would rather

take her apart

 

So she gave her to

a man she met that day

who had mentioned that

it was his son's birthday

 

She made him promise

to look after her

and for the first time

the Rabbicorn's heart did whir

 

As she looked back

she said "Please don't fear"

and as they drove away

wiped away a tear

self portrait - Cyprus

[Zuiko 17mm]

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,

We fell them down and turn them into paper,

That we may record our emptiness.

~Kahlil Gibran

Um poema

 

Não tenhas medo, ouve:

É um poema

Um misto de oração e de feitiço...

Sem qualquer compromisso,

Ouve-o atentamente,

De coração lavado.

Poderás decorá-lo

E rezá-lo

Ao deitar,

Ao levantar,

Ou nas restantes horas de tristeza

Na segura certeza

De que mal não te faz.

E pode acontecer que te dê paz...

  

Miguel Torga
