Best Ante Poems

“ANTE BELLUM”


BEIGEBest served where it can’t be seen
On Stirling Silver platters
With redruM narcotics
Delivered by sharp Blood-Red
Well-mannered talons
Strutting in sleek wet rolling tight-skirted
Long French Silk Stockinged legs all the way down to 
Lethal Six Inch stilettos -
Manolo Blahniks -
Shiny Pearls of cream glisten
Around the Chanel Milk...

Nunca antes le daras cavida
Entre manos el oro se hace sal y agua
Mientras una luna de bendiciones
Amanece el ser de maldicion
Quemando los poros de nuestras virtudes
Sera el final en llamas?
Que sera de nuestra proxima generacion de ereditarios
Ante una presencia que restricciones y modelos de destruccion
No...

Poker table blues.
Hand after hand, a looser.
Ace up dealer's sleeve....

Penny Ante, happy hour
You could play and never go broke
Pennies have no buying power
Your financial risk is a joke

You could play and never go broke
Ante a penny into the pot
Your financial risk is a joke
Impossible to lose a lot

Ante a penny into the pot
Raise the...

MOTHERLY LOVE

Mother oh mother
standing inside the innocent shade
though i couldn't see her face
But i could hear her voice wishing me to come soon


mother ! mother! mother!
i see you glared at your balloon stomach
wishing i could be held in your arms
yet i keep swimming in the...

"Carmen Ante Domum"
(Song Before Home)
 By Rachel Heffington

Home is just over the next green hill
And my journey's last mile before me still--
Home before, and the road behind,
And a balancing moment within my mind...

Home, 'tis so pleasant to know the place
Remembers me still with its homely...

High noon coming    ...   sixty minutes to go    
Three angry riders,
twelve hooves on a swift approach
Six six-shooters strapped to the waist
of six angry eyes
Revenge on a five-year slow burn
today ends —  
Somebody’s gonna die
A tin star...

ANTE MERIDIAN

I didn’t have my coffee 
I didn’t smoke my cigarette 
I don’t face him – I am too bitchy – 
so many words in the marriage
they come out like glazed ants
irrational “good morning”

I understand my womanhood 
in an amazonian way
an I placate my own...

Ante Up For Love

Love is a gamble, the players facing unfavourable odds. 
Still you risk that which you can't afford to lose. 
Never able to explain or recover the loss.
The cards have been shuffled 
and ready to be dealt. 
Are you in? Ante up!...

In this rainy coldness of a night
I am drained and dry like a hanging Bacalao.
I hope it comes to pass!
As cant as I am - broken as a rib
As grey as ash is - as dim as an ar$e
Take without hesitation this crib
Burry your fingers...

Blinking and breathing in secretive silence
Fending off feelings of misapprehension
Trying to function in passive compliance
Ignoring repeatedly twisting of tension
Sitting in darkness with nothing to mention
Blinking ’s a sound of sightless defiance
Waiting for light to blithely appear
Knowing that reason can  deal with the fear...

young people taught to believe
that once they learn repetition
they're ready for the out-world

s..t happens: just the universe

it matters not whether a god is
a peculiar determinism matters
of peace, love and of letting go

Ante sala de Agosto

Julho

Que pode mudar
O gosto de agosto.

Faça hoje 
que ainda tem tempo. 
O tempo

Não gaste o tempo em passatempo.
