Best Carmen Poems

Can a child ever forget, how deep a mother’s love abides

All those days since birth, till now I’m grown she guides

Remembering her smile, so tender, so warm as her embrace

More than soothes away my pain, my fear of failure and disgrace

Even in my dreams she...

Character and plenty of it
A Strong woman, short in stature 
Raising four kids basically on her own
Manic at times, but loved us all
Even now that we are grown,
Never to part, Mom is always our heart...

I erased everything: thousand 
traces of my fantasy 
thousand futures of your grief 
thousand scenarios of hope 
thousand spaces of our destiny 
but a remembrance remains
into blue background of memory...

The first time she was very young
and not yet even in her prime.
Her flashing, latin eyes were well defined,
her nose, full lips and creamy skin
were budding out just like a rose
of the feminine Spanish Carmen kind.

But her protectors knew.   My heart was 
very...

"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...

I'm ripping out my lungs
So breathing isn't labored
Not for my sake
But for the gentleman
Laced with bowties

I'm hunched over the bus seat
Spilling blood
Back into the cup
Reminding the window
That my hand still exists

The world doesn't care
For my diaphram leaping
Or my feet sketched skidding
All they wanted
Was my skeletal...

We are and where essence 
Ever present energy
Holy fire drifting through space 
Destiny in the likeness of our Father 
But we don't know if we were complacent 
If we share spaces
 of memories of our essence
 It's ever blessing 
What a lesson to be...

(after Théophile Gautier)

Carmen is sleek and slender, with a trace 
of gypsy swarthiness around her eyes. 
That sinister black hair engulfs her face. 
There's something hellish in those slick brown thighs. 

When women look at her, they call her plain, 
but men surrender reason. Elle...

What on earth did I do to deserve this fate ?
From my insouciance I  awoke much too late.

'Tis to Tomi  now in exile on the Black Sea
Augustus in his wisdom has condemned me.

Julia's company and that poem where I erred
Removed me from the...

Carmen

Elated at seventeen
 by such a gift 
That i had just seen
Bizet’s carmen,
 jones in black
Red blouse, split skirt 
A singer gypsy queen,

Whose regal self esteem
 made very clear 
That feelings reign 
And spirits gain
If to ourselves we’re true 

And that
Loves elation
Makes deprivation
Seem an actual...

How are you my darling
How's things in heaven
And are you honoring the Father
You whom are one of His daughter

And are you playing with our first "Grandson Lyndon"
How's Mama and  Pa Brown
Did you finally meet my mom your mother in law
Annie Bell Lee

I know you...

Unum Carmen
 
Too many good thoughts
so many bad poems
The bridge to forever
exacting its toll
Too many to count
just one to remember
As beauty releases
