Vows are binding promises each partner makes to God.
Til post-traumatic stress disorder shows its ugly head ~Quote by poet
No longer they were joined as one
The swell of her shackled ankle has gone
All that is left is hurt, two hearts disheveled
Cutting the ties so coarse mideviled
They danced together to the cante jondo
Romanced by guitars, baile the fandango
A thousand times they talked about tyng the ribbon
Fear and violent behavior, thoughts never given
The wind is the singer who sang the first song
Vibrant is she who sings her windsong
He'll find his way, without strife, she'll not be battered
Wars only make dreams of casalena shattered
The kind thoughtful man with whom she'd been engaged
Returned from battle laden with a vile bitterness he enraged
Drained dry of the milk of life's humanity
Now inflamed with a blind raging insanity
To a true prince she had vowed to wed
Transformed into a dastardly beast instead
As the man she loved pounds fists into the wall
She proclaims in God's name, I am now unbetrothed

Baile
Do canto
de maio
faço o
balé
e menos
se torna mais,
supero metas,
alcanço
novos
patamares
minuto
a minuto.
Faço mais,
ilumino
o caminho,
arranco,
desbravo,
transformo
o pouco
em muito
mais e mais.
Autumn winds duende with flair.
The leaves falling from trees aflame,
twisting and twirling across the aire,
gliding on the cool, frosty first rain.
The leaves falling from trees aflame
rouge the baile floor as a mosaic
gliding on the cool, frosty first rain
with alegrías rhythms wild and archaic
Rouge the baile floor as a mosaic
the winds swaying their sensual hips
with alegrías rhythms wild and archaic
as gusts burst forth with Flamenco clips.
The winds swaying their sensual hips,
twisting and twirling across the aire
as gusts burst forth with Flamenco clips
Autumn winds duende with flair.
Rolling down the contours of Iberian Peninsula
the picturesque highlands of lofty Andalusia
fringe the landscape of the great plain of Spain,
cradling the ancient cities of Madrid and Segovia.
In the frenzy arena horny bull charges as if tipsy,
gyrating matador’s muleta whipping it doesn’t see,
for his agile feet move in rhythm of baile flamenco
like the flurry of the trotting steps of the gypsy.
Travel from one city to the other by train,
you need not visit Pygmalion once again,
you’ll make out the aim of mnemonic device…
“rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain”.

camino el silencia
una caida en el techo
redoble de tambor
estoy libre ahora
como un pajaro
la amo
estoy dando la bien venida
ellas es amable
el baile de tierra seca
su toque de amor
lagrimas de alegra
soy libre como
una mariposa
flotando ahora
abora la boca
a su generosidad
ella me cubre
sus besos humedos
ocultar mis lagrimas
en su regazo
ando en la calle
de la felicidad
orquesta de su viento suave
Del asiento se miraban;
Ella, con su abanico
Hacia Él comunicaba:
"Serás mi caballerito..."
Se entralazan y caminan;
El "paseo" finaliza,
De frente ambos saludan,
Reverencias realizan...
Ya comenzará el baile;
Él le toma la cintura,
La dama toma la mano;
Danzan al son de cultura...
Se mueven libres "al compás",
Dan vueltas por el teatro...
Se finaliza la danza
Y juntos van al asiento.

Libellentanz / Dragonflies' Dance / Baile de libélulas Im Tanz überm See
Im Tanz überm See
Wie kleine Fabelwesen
Libellen im Licht
Dance over the lake
Like small legendary creatures
Dragonflies in the sun
Baile sobre el lago
Mítica criaturas pequeñas
Libélulas en la luz
Schmetterlinge im Tanz
Sommerreigen am Nachmittag
Mosaik der Natur
Von Ferne der Ruf eines Kuckucks
Aus seinem unsichtbarem Versteck
-------------------------------------------
The dance of Butterflies
Summer roundelay in the afternoon
A mosaic of nature
From the distance the cry of a cuckoo
Out of his invisible hiding
------------------------------------------
Baile de mariposas
Corro de verano en la tarde
Mosaico de naturaleza
De la distancia un grito de cuco
De su invisible escondite
-----------------------------------------
Farfalle nella danza
Danza estate nel pomeriggio
Mosaico della natura
Il grido di un cuculo
Dal suo invisibile nascondiglio
Die Erde erzittert
Im Staccato von Staub und Schweiß
Tönen die Trommeln
-------------------------------------------
The earth trembles
In staccato of dust and sweat
The sounds of drums
------------------------------------------
La tierra tiembla
En un staccato de polvo y sudor
Resuenan los tambores
