Three Sweet Poems, and Two Not So Sweet [now in: SPANISH and English]

Three Sweet Poems, and Two Not So Sweet [now in: SPANISH and English]

1) End Poem

Wherever you are today-
Is where you were meant to be;
It's where God, dotted the
'i' and the 't'?!

2) God's Angels

God asked his angels:
"Why do you look so sad?"
Responded one angel:
"Sir, we can't find the shade."

3) An Empty Space

Out of wisdom one will wait,
travel far for love; the thirst
will not kill them. When death
arrives what will you tell it-
explain: why the empty space?

Shyness and fear will not
explain your surrender to your
mysterious veil. Out of wisdom
one will wait, travel far for love;
the thirst will not kill them. But
they will find it, be it in a winter
blizzard, or a cozy restaurant.

4) Onto the Mountains
(The Andes)

I shall blend-in, into the

Mountains-
Into the faintest thin

Shadows

of the mountains!
Like the moss on moistened

Stone

Like a leaf blown far from

Home?

(freshly fallen)!
I shall blend-in, clinging

To the mountains-
Into its faintest thin

Shadows

5) Dead Children

Breaking stones-
Who breaks stones?
Only shadowy faces
With grieving bones.

I have lost my
Children to the devil-
All but one; and
Now I break stones
With a grieving face
And aging bones?.

Translated by: Nancy Penaloza

1) Poema final

¡"Dondequiera que tú estés hoy día-

Es donde se propuso estar;

Esto es donde Dios apunto la

"i" y la "t"?!.

2) Los Ángeles de Dios

Dios preguntó a sus ángeles:
"¿Por que parecen tan tristes?"
Respondió un ángel.
"señor, nosotros no podemos encontrar la sombra".

3) Un espacio vacío

De la sabiduría uno esperara,
Viajes lejos para el amor;
La sed no los matará. Cuando la muerte
Llegue ¿que le dirás de esto?-
Explicando: ¿Por qué el espacio vació?
La timidez y el miedo no
Explicaran tu rendición a tu
Misterioso velo. De la sabiduría
Uno puede esperar, viaje lejos para el amor;
La sed no los matará. Pero
Ellos se encontraran, será ello en una ventisca
De invierno, o en un restaurante acogedor

4) Niños Muertos
Rompiendo piedras ?

¿Quién rompe piedras?
Solo caras sombrías
Con huesos penosos.
He perdido
A mis Niños para el diablo ?

Todos excepto uno; y
Ahora rompo piedras
Con una cara penosa
Y huesos envejecidos.

Nota: Estos cuatro poemas [junto con "la Sombra de Andes",] fueron recientemente publicados por la Revista Ezine; lectores anuales, tres millones [junio y julio de 2005]; y fue leído por más visitantes que cualquier otro poema publicado por aquella revista dentro de aquel período de tiempo.
