I Cultivate Pink Roses

--para el cruel j.m. simple verses

I cultivate pink roses
in February and September
for that Cruel Disaster
That hardens at my soul
I cultivate pink roses anyhow

I wash up from a surface sun
The petals of the moon sing low.
And bloom a feather fan
The eagle and the doe begin again.

While you paint with white silk.
I have just a drop that mingles
With the blood of your great skill
In the dreams of indigenous girls.

They come as they Soothe me
In Pink Melodisia.
Oh Beauty On Wing Tipped Letter.
I go to your Statue with my Feather

EMIL EMILIANO

--poetry

Stimming and Gasping Im having Asthma.
One Son and Another Arisen, Mom?
Are you Okay? I don't want you to Know.
Yet I can't hide the Sounds of my Breathing.

My Son comes to me takes my Pulse in His.
He stands with me in Misery's Throne.
But I dont' want you to be like me Son.
He Says LItlle to Nothing. His Lamp This.

His Wings have Encompassed my Heart and Lungs.
With all of his Strength he Calms the Thronging.
Just WIth A Look he Lifts My Whole Being.
I Surrender my Doubt. I take his Love.

While I have been Strengthened he has been Drained.
My Child, Same Mother, Same Pain Again.

POET

As poets we have one purpose only

though nameless and unknown, it still holds true

the reasons for poetry are many

they bely with answers the suffering

Nothing makes sense to a poet of death

as we know it-- mere speculation, myth,

and being as we know it more worthy

as time is required for the journey

For being is as something unalike

as never and always sleep or awake

to our ears a long and low silent cry

but to our ancestors are everything

A poet is another way to get

from one side of distance to the other.

ONCE,TWICE

The calabash broken broken two times

Once was a reason twice never reasoned

Both the partition and quartered a spine

I stop to think and wonder what I’ve done

To bother to stop thinking twice again

Cracked like a body, horse driven carriage

Medieval and omnipresent carnage.

What cease to let up what manner conduct

Ensnared as a lesion ghost of despair

Provoked, absconded, retired from care

Which purpose was abhorrent behavior

The behavior of power to torture

As it clutches for innocence broken

Once for a reason twice never reasoned.

the birds in the trees sing so lovingly

the birds in the trees sing so lovingly

as perfect as perfection while playing

while decorating the flowers with spring

so kind and so merciful as it pines

for lost innocence is a melody

while beautiful and nameless it is time

equal to its unwritten timelessness

as sense is to silence and silent reeds

the birds in the trees sing so beautifully

songs of a promise that birds always keep

sing in the morning at noon and sunset

sing to the sun in its climb over earth

be its voice when it reaches for its heart

be its lullaby and its morning song.
