Rainha

Rainha

A nossa mente
às vezes  
é uma rainha,  
às vezes  
uma tirana.

Uma rainha,  
atendendo  
ao que  é 
honroso,  
protege  
e dá forças
para fazer
mais e mais.

Gossamer Wings

she taught her young protege all that she knew,
knowing the end was near; on gossamer wings she flew.

Sempre, 
a maior vantagem 
de uma casa
é ser o lugar
que abriga o sonho do dia, 
que protege a pessoa que sonha
que permite
que todas as pessoas 
sonhem em paz.

O principal

A Question of Support

Help me get through this, Mr. Therapist,
I want to know if there's something I missed;
I'd been transported to heaven for de-briefing,
it was remarkable that they'd even let me in.

You didn't think that it existed, did you?
to your chagrin, you were forced into a queue,
you're going to enjoy this, whether you like or not,
all of a sudden, your hypocratic oath you forgot.

All the things you liked seemed to be there,
flowers with a smell, the opposite of hell, yeh,
dad and mom wearing pullovers, happy with rollovers,
holding hands and smiling, like starstruck lovers.

They said: 'We've been watching you son, our protege,
now you can explain why you came out gay.'

Lefty

Lefty was a well known thug and criminal.
His reputation didn't do him any justice.
Because he was much worse than that.
He would rob or kill,depended on his mood.
Nobody messed with Lefty, all feared him.
Everything changed when he came across,
His protege , lil Lefty. Lil Lefty shot him dead
in cold blood.
The old saying is true " If you live by the 
sword you die by the sword."

Finding a Way

"It’s so exhausting these challenges,
Even for someone like you so talented 

You can dodge them as you make your way, 
Or hide them from display

But they will bleed you dry,
If you let them try

Best to look at each one on in a separate light, 
And pick the toughest one for a fight

Deliver it a knockout blow,
For you are it’s formidable foe

A woman with drive and persistence,
Profound knowledge and resilience 

Always thinking of another way,
For you will never walk away

From what you believe to be true,
And to receive what you are due 

The world may close some doors on you,
But God will open a window to let you through 

To continue on your journey,
For it is in his mercy

That we believe in the possible,
No matter the size of the obstacle 

So have faith in yourself,
And others here to help

That success is not far away,
For you are God’s protege

To overcome any force,
That threatens your course.

Faithful Guardian

Faithful Guardian

Just when I think I can’t go on
one more minute or one day
Lord you’re there to encourage me 
as my loving protege.

With grace and love you lift me out
of my despondency,
and when I’ve lost direction,
you light the way for me.

When burdens seem to weigh me down
I see the signs you’re there,
to give me faith and hope again
to overcome despair.

The miracles I see each day
are there to enable me
to see that life is a precious thing
despite adversity.

With hope and love you show me Lord
that life is worth the pain,
There’s much to lose if we give up,
but with life, much more to gain.

Closer By a Day

not soon enough, will winter go away

                    taking with it all that white and gray

               waiting for the sun to thus betray

          remains that frozen vestiges array

     warming temps arising day-to-day

winter's final gasps thus making way

     for such a bright and colorful display

          exploding in an emerald green ballet

               a Cardinal in his crimson red beret

                    sings the morn his romance resume'

                         a little "peeper", each dusk's protege

                              and groggy  hibernators join the fray

                                   dancing 'cross a lawn of grass parquet

                              the squirrels making mischief, so risque'

                         thus  worthy of a  brooding Hemingway

                    all these things to chase the cold dismay

               of a long  and somber  winter's disarray

          and  if allowed  an old  and trite  cliche'

     I wish we had the power to make it stay

then every day could be a spring-tide day.

Advantage Vantagem

Advantage

Once,
oftentimes
They asked me
to name
main
benefit
of an occupation
of a job,
a job
and a house.

Always, the best benefit
of an occupation
of a job or job
and even a house
It's always the place
which houses the dream of the day,
which protects the person who dreams
that allows
that all people
dream in peace.

***************************************************************

Vantagem

Uma vez, 
muitas vezes
me pediram 
para nomear 
o principal 
benefício 
de uma ocupação
de um trabalho, 
um emprego 
e de uma casa.

Sempre, o melhor benefício
de uma ocupação
de um trabalho ou emprego 
e mesmo de uma casa
é sempre o lugar
que abriga o sonho do dia, 
que protege a pessoa que sonha
que permite
que todas as pessoas 
sonhem em paz.

Once Again

Clutch me with the
scepter of love once again
kiss me with the lovely
kisses of thy mouth

Let our memories of love
shine in our heart luminously
like the eye of the earth let
it again burn like a bleakly flame

I will love to be a protege
under your territory once again
so I can be protected with the
wings of love you possess

I will inscribe your name
in my heart once again
so your name can ring in my heart
like the concerto of a wailing piano

Let us hide under the shade of our
shadow once again and watch the
demureness of a billowing rain
crisping down on us

Let our Fabergé egg
again be decorated with
the symbol of love, and let
our premonition come true

As long as man can breath and
As long as eyes can see and
As long as legs can walk, these
my lines must bring change to us

A Plastic Bag Re-Post

A plastic bag, a windy day, 
she's darting, dancing high and low, 
coquettish in her flight of fancy, 
all in all, a one-bag show; 
a street performer with a twist, 
I wish you could have seen her, 
a holder meant for groceries, 
a no-name ballerina. 

Erratic, yes, but orchestrated, 
it's as if a puppeteer 
controlled the choreography, 
a protege without a peer. 
She soared and swooped, this virtuoso, 
then the errant wind was gone, 
and I was left to ruminate, 
an audience of one.   

                ********

...inspired by 'that scene' in the movie, 'American Beauty,'
   once seen never forgotten.
