and see a million tiny colored dots:

driving to work
writing a poem

Burly-QueNow let me be the first to hasten to say,
And all your smirks and snide remarks allay,
That I've never darkened the door of a cabaret,
Where exquisite damsels are on display!
But (I'm told) they don't wear fancy tutus like in a ballet.
Heavens no! They're scantily...

To a Person, They Say, Frigid, Translation of Paul Verlaine's Poem: a Celle Que L'On Dit FroideTo the person, they call, frigid, Translation of Paul Verlaine’s poem : A celle que l’on dit froide
(Poem written on September 5, 1889 at Aix-les-Bains, which I found a bit jarring with abrupt exclamations and interrogations, not to mention the repetitive « jusqu’à/aux » which...

A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Bar-B-Que
One hot summer day long ago,
My hubby and I thought we'd go
to barbecue we
accepted with glee
by newlyweds, we got to know.
I said we'd bring baked pork and beans,
A salad of mixed garden greens,
And also, we'd take
A...

What Love Means Was Liebe Bedeutet Que El Amor SignificaWritten by Jack Horne and Gert Knop
Love’s soft petals fall
Leaving bare thorny branches
Heady perfume gone
But with care and attention
From one rose grows a bouquet
Zarte Liebesblüten fallen
Nur nackte dornige
Zweige bleiben Kein berauschender
Duft mehr Doch mit Pflege und Liebe
Wird aus einer Rose ein...

Que Sera, SeraMy aunt was laid to rest today
With eulogies and rain.
Her children wept and shoveled dirt
In disbelief and pain.
Her life was long and full and rich;
She clearly was adored,
With all of those attending,
Admiration-wise, on board.
My aunt loved "Que sera, sera"
And someone sang it out.
We...

La Mujer Que ConociAun recuerdo cuando te conocí
estabas trabajando cuando por vez primera te ví
sin saberlo en aquel entonces tu serias para mi
despues de mi madre la mujer mas importante en mi existir
comenzamos como solo amigos y todo se fue dando
y con el paso del tiempo de ti...

La Hora En Que Sale El MalEl sueño se me hizo pesado
y, de pronto, me llegaron olores
a pasadizos secretos,
herrumbrosos y abandonados.
Abrí los ojos
y tropecé con el vacío.
“¿Cuál es el tiempo?”
Las metálicas y enormes
manecillas en la vetusta pared
de la cuarteada iglesia,
fundada en la pálida plaza,
indicaron las tres.
“¡Las tres!”
Era la hora en que...

No Eras La Mujer Que PenseEs cierto que en un momento te amé
ahora me doy cuenta que contigo me equivoqué
estaba cejado por tu belleza y la verdad nunca la miré
pero ahora me doy cuenta que no eras la mujer que yo pensé
Te dí mi amor y hasta en mis sueños...

Que Ciejo FuiQue ciego fui al creer que me amarias
que tu tambien lo mismo por mi sentirias
todo fue una ilusión llena de mentiras
pues tras mis espaldas de mi te reias
Ahora me siento como un estupido al creer
que te podria llegar a convertir en mi mujer
que estaba pensando...
