Short Agua Poems

Swallowed in sun bites
to butter burn the dreaming
of men in sandals
with one foot in the desert
and one foot in mirages....

Água 

Você como eu
somos metade
água, então
para passar 
por um obstáculo, 
contorne-o.
e sempre
chame
para fazer,
mais e mais....

There in the gentle moonlight
The call of the toads

casas fumadores
estreche puente
sobre
el agua negro
durmiendo
en silencio
que van en aumento
se desvanes
mas alla del espacio
verde
cielo azul grisaceo
rodea
a traves de turbulentos
somos una mota de polvo...

A shade of purity,
but with a hint of notoriety.
Deceptive but innocently,
Aquamarine, like you, I live up to be.

Peace you may bear,
but chaos I can bare.
Clear blue eyes,
virtuously hiding lies.

A drip is just a drop ;
formatted liquid that falls ;
from a lot;
 water burst quenches;
 your thirst frequent;
Agua water winter turns to frost;

Wo still noch das Wasser fließt
Schwimmen schon Enten


In the early fog
Where the water quietly flows 
Ducks already swimming


En la temprana  niebla
Dónde fluye silencioso el agua 
Nadan ya patos...

Ein Eisvogel im schnellen Sturz
Fische seid wachsam

A kingfisher in a rapid fall

vino
abundancia
de flores
fantasticas
entre lazando
cada

ella
se esta
extendendo
en la parte
superior de la
niebla magica
consciencia mistica
lava que expulsa desde
un volcan vicioso
metafisico

el sueno es
via de escape...

blood boils like lava folding over the ocean bed 
thoughts flow like agua emotions filling my head 

a tinge of spite a dash of jealousy anger and hatred to taste 
no consideration for negotiation no time to cherish just love to waste 

nop pulse from the heart just an echo of emptiness 
dancing in the dark disgust and resentfulness...

Listen to poem:

Mi Mexico lindo:

Burnt orange and ochre --
color de cafe --
pineapple, lime, red pajaritos...
land of mananas, grace in mantillas...
balanced canastas, ojos expresivos.
Sunshine and heat, fiesta y corrida,
salt and tortilla, pride and tequila.
Frijol and machismo and chile con queso.
Adobe, caliche, sweet agua fria...
Mexico, te amo mucho, y su gente amable!...

The devil comes as a man and a woman.
I call him lady gaga.
They say drink patron but im ok with agua.
They ask what im on and I say nada.
I remember the life I had.
I thought it was rad.
But now I see it was stupid and bad.
But I never made my parents mad.
When I felt sad
I wrote my feelings on a pad.
When I see my nephew and niece is the only time I'm really glad_Mario Perez...

Nur schwarzes Wasser
Wie die Nacht ohne Mondschein
Heute die Mandau

Only black water
As a night without moonlight

Sólo agua negro
Como una noche sin luna
Hoy día el Mundau

German/Polish border...

The room in the Agua Fria neighborhood
it's the only place i feel safe
in this city of effusive parties
from so many noisy places...
There is the beach street where I sometimes pass...
However, it is in my tranquil room that I find calm and refuge.
from the horrors of city stridency...
I wish life was a cozy room
without the unnerving throb of the street-
If so... plaintive serenity
how is my lovely room... !...

Sobre las rocas el mar,
canta su melodía sin final.
Como lluvia suave están besando las olas,
la playa en su modo.
Flores rojas del agua florecen
en la tempestad.
Desesperado el cielo por el sol,
que quema con miles de velas el día,
pero el mar canta canciones de luz y esperanza.
El mar alta su voz,
abriga los altares mojadas 
entre arena y aire rielada,
y un horizonte muy lejos
toma prisionero un cielo caloroso....
