A Rose is a Rose Forever Perfume

Peril of rhyme forever perfume is

what has passed makes no difference in it

why it adheres to its music is this

not a reverence for the past gone to bits

but for eternal withdrawal eclipsed

brought to a line to existence within

observed, studied, attached to an instant

though in the earth lies molten its essence

frozen beneath the icicles as mist

seared to stone by a tremendous cinder

and forced to explode for its subsistence

grows from the precipice ancient and course

by becoming itself to unearth its fruit

flourishes against the destructive force

that drives against itself into a rose

The Flower of Verse as a Weaponry

If my verses are weapons so be it.

Did I ask them to come here unheeded?

When they knocked on my temples I ignored them.

But as water seeks its level their grandeur

Would not disappear with their afterwards

"Don't bother me now.  I'm preoccupied."

Doubly their insistence would continue.

"We are not done with you yet said the Muses,"

One seemed a bit shier than the others

who though they were kind were also abstruse

while she merely handed me a wheel.

It spun from my hand a flower in bloom

Silken and green as it grew changed its hue

and in the palm of my hand it was woven

Ode to the Epithet

Few words are more powerful, Epithet,
than you, your attitude antiatic,
(a word Marti coined for his verses,
syncretic but postulates of a timber
its roots, leaves, branches, bough and petal,
combines a reflection in candle light
Phosphorous greening a wick in time
brightens fulminating an existence
a je ne sais quo, what do you call it?
In shorthand a Human spirit sandalled
wearing a weave of deciduous silk
alive in the dust powder crystal sands
impressed on the surface's hallowed veil
as it is lifted betrays history
sings into its profoundly heared beating
the pulse of an incubus cautioned yellow
for fear of forgetting, remembered rail..

Lloro un Rio

Las Malas se arman con sus pretextos

buscan manera de hacernos fosos

el anonimo suspiracion del horror

seca el viento sus lagrimas oh no!

polvo regresa ser polvo y carbon

vale la vida un pedazo del sol

la llama mas verde esclarecio

que cada  vez que muere mi hermano

yo tambien lo acompano testigo

salen por de abajo del milagro

que por ser tan brillante al odio

ressonando acrimonio y furor

el Amor que suficiente amplio

llega a la orilla y lloro un rio

I love my Father and Mother, a Verse

I love my mother I love my father 

 

each gave everything to make me myself 

 

no andes en la calles estudia

 

there is no better time than forever 

 

my love is more ancient than theatre

 

hay mas tiempo que vida, hijita,

 

on earth were the angels brought together 

 

by mercy its restlessness or passion

 

belief in unbelievability

 

what is beautiful is also precious

 

that Bobby Burn’s built a house in the field

 

with made best plan and dimensioner small

 

to shatter be it all would offend love

 

of a master for a smaller creature

La Vida Original, Madre

Los cambiazos que saben saber, ay,

 

sale saliendo igual, hijita,

 

no hay nadie en la vida mas triste

 

de tal palo salta la astilla

 

empieza y va creciendo cada vez le arranco un pedazo y le doy

 

despues va salir la luna ay vela

 

hijole esperate quiero decir 

 

lo quise ser shake n bake, sabes como?

 

mira te ensciendio la mente, vealo

 

there’s never going to be another one

 

es special original not 1 more

 

look, showing with the hands, it will ( rupture )

 

no habls asi que pensarian?

El Pocho Chicano y El Gacho Maniobra

El Pocho Chicano y El Gacho Maniobra

(hay los que luchan toda la vida, Brecht)

At times the only chance you have--it's not easy

so you go becoming a part of it (oh well)

who else gonna go down to the trenches of hell?

the price of a purchase, the petty disasters

imagine how they are in the bedroom, the best?

I doubt it. Have you heard his Spanglish, it's rehearsed.

It has neither the eagerness of a Pocho

nor the chance Chicanos could recognize Ocho

because counting past 1 is atrocious again...

Oh how unsatisfying to know a Gacho

El tipo who'd sell the last dress off of Glamour

SPitting on a martyr a compromised regret

like these old Putos who eat cake with the Monster

and ask for their honor on a silver platter

El Hueco Cascaron

El Hueco Cascaron es pintado

sea de color azul o rojo

siempre se vende por la docena

rapidos corren a hecharse al carton

“vendame vendame, aqui estoy!”

por su rondez y su delicadez

alzan sus manos, “llevenme otra vez!”

por todo el ambiente no se encuentran

ni con el cria ni con el joven

(si no es para ganarse el cen,

y chupenle la leche al inocente)

Luego cuando hacen fiestas lucen

“yo fui el que me arriesgue por la paz,

sufrenme mi honor regalenme mas!”

El Verso y el Caos

Una cosa que yo veo en el caos
es su similaridad al verso
turba, quita, arrebata el cielo
y un hombre encuentra la solucion
se hace un zero en su nacion
no tiene con quien le cuente al amor
ni es del terciopelo el sueno
todavia sigue siendo ilusion
hechas las mas presas corazones
tiradas y hechas de un ondo
como si fueran animalitos
que con la cara bella del hombre
surge a pensar sobre el alivio
si no para el para sus huesos
