Pálida, quedó la Luna,
por la decepción.
Pero sé,
q alumbrara aún-
está y las mil
noches qué restan.
Ella seguirá filtrándose
por la persiana
de la alcoba.
Los árboles,
jugosos de fruta
y hoja verde,
qué alimentaban
siempre a los dos--
con la sequía
de tú ausencia--
yo se qué no
sé desplomaran.
Tús pertenecías,
junto a poecias
q ardían de pasión,
con rosas
marchitadas--creo yo,
secaron de dolor.
Saqué para borrar
tú rastro y huella--
del armario.
Juntó
todo lo heche--
en el
mismo,
despiadado
bolso,
de tú adiós---
para qué por ti--
me prohíba, llorar.
I wish you could bottle happiness
Into sprinkles colourful and sweet
So when you are feeling grumpy or blue
You can have a little to eat
You could have them in any drink
Mixed with any food
Whatever takes your fancy
To brighten your sombre mood
You could sneak some into others
Those who need a definite dose
The grumpy sad or miserable
To those blues its ADIOS !!
Adios dear dentist with shots, x-rays and drills
Adieu root canals, crowns, and skyrocketing bills
With just gums underneath
I'm outliving my teeth
G'day dear hot oatmeal, ciao vitamin pills

Brent Landers is a keen and brave cowboy
Whose kicks with shunning- bullet-skills decoy
Became the most wanted
Big gold prize for each head
Saving the girl proved all his heart’s employ

Venimos
Deambulamos
Y nos partimos
Eso es todo lo que sabemos.
Venimos a la tierra
Vagamos por la tierra
Y nos partimos sin nada
Sin dinero, centavos y bienes.
Decimos buenos días
Hablamos, reímos y cantamos
Y nos escapamos sin nada
Sin hermanos, sin la tierra y sin los enlaces.

Nous venons
Nous errons
Et nous allons
C'est tout ce que nous savons.
Nous venons sur terre
Nous errons sur la terre
Et nous partons sans rien
Sans argent, de sous et de biens.
Bonjour, nous disons
Nous discutons, rions et chantons
Et nous nous échappons sans rien
Sans frères et sœurs, jetons et liens.

Chente—mi amigo, compadre, hermano
Troubadour of our pain untold
Minstrel of our abandoned souls
Keeper of our traditions bold
So loved by La Virgen de Guadalupe
That she took you on Her day
Now heaven’s honored balladeer
For Her now, you may play
You leave us with our sorrow
Our inconsolable despair
So, with a soft prayer on our lips
We plead—Volver! Volver!
Chased the setting sun
To the cliffs of time
Adios my love
Goodbye
Transfigured
A metamorphosis
To jet black velvet sky
A trillion diamonds
Scattered
Fluttering there
Amid eternity
Dreams launched
Into infinity
Pending in wait
Till we meet again

You brought joy to our longing souls
How we cherished thy languid days
Thy bright sun and blooming flora
And thy life-sustaining showers
Yet, thy season was all too brief
Winter storms we foresee with dread
Oh! How we yearn for thy return
Entry for nette onclaud's "Farewell, Summer" Contest

Rated 2d Place in the contest
Adios, Roseanne
Roseanne's racist tweet caused big trouble
So she voiced remorse on the double
The Trump-loving comic
Appeared catatonic
Her hit show was tossed to the rubble
In secret she now keeps opinions
But where are Roseanne and her minions?
Darlene, Dan and Jackie
Each unemployed lackey
While Rosie's still worth eighty millions

I think I might just turn about
and proudly walk away
I think I might just strut right out
without another word to say
Keep my calm, maintain my poise
Perhaps it’s best that way
Lips pressed tight, there’ll be no noise
As quiet as the break of day
I’ll leave my pride behind me
With all else I once held dear
I pled my case ‘pon my knee
Only for it to fall ‘pon deafened ear
It would seem by now I’d know somehow
With a leaden heart and heavy sigh
To say ‘Adieu my sweet...I leave you now`
But I was never good at saying
...Goodbye...
The sky is crying
My eyes are raining
My heart is hurting
This love I used to live for is fading
Those lips I used to melt for are vanishing
But like a fool I’m still waiting for your phantom
You whispered your adios hopelessly
So why I’m expecting your return hopefully
You took your heart and mine
Leaving our love in pieces
Forgetting that we wrote
The beginning of our romance happily
Now you closed the last chapter
With tears of my stupid ending silently..
Sí, ya me marcho.
Largo el camino.
Intenta ser feliz.
Tú te quedas con mi mundo:
los árboles,
los pájaros, las flores,
el crepúsculo sobre las montañas,
esas nubes que siempre me miraban,
el colibrí perfumado…
Recuerda el agua del gato,
las semillas a las palomas visitantes
y al cartero salúdalo de mi parte.
Muchas cosas extrañaré.
Mi destino es incierto:
una extraña ciudad, las gentes,
los olores y hasta los parques.
Creo viviré dibujando el pasado
y bañándome en lágrimas.
¿Hasta dónde soportarán
nuestras almas?
We are made of stone
We are made of cold hard steel
Standing tall, indifferent to what I feel
Pretending not to cry
Deep within
There's pain
Head held up, breaking rain
Unbreakable, strong
In the dark
Alone
I rage of waves
Jefe, don't leave
Let me tell you I love you
Fight!
So we can kick it
Lets fire up the pit
Watching clouds roll by
Linger in Mexico
Mellow in her hills
The chivos chillan
Tus Arboles I hear them
Paper saturated in blue dye
I'll miss you Jefecito
To you belongs my longest bye
Le Echates ganas
Till the Gallo shouts the third alarm
Either life betrays us
Or it saves us, but let me not lie
Cause men do cry
