Ante

too late to ante
I already folded
your bluff is good
with the cards your holding
winner take all
and I pay the price
for sitting at the table

Poker

I shuffle the cards
a five card deal
I parlay true love
you ante sex appeal

my poker hand good
a queen high straight
I win your heart
a twist of fate

Premium Member A Talking Canary

Three manic morons: Moe, Curly, Larry
  Ante up for a talking canary ~
    It attracts boobirds
    They cry, 'How absurd' ~ 
  Clever jokers rename her 'Miss Carrie'

Charles Bronson, star of "Death Wish," 
  Served punks icy-cold revenge dish.

  On body counts, he raised the ante.
 America's screen one-man vigilante

Face Up

I lay them on the table
all my cards face up
there's nothing up my sleeve
or sleight of hand card tricks
all my truth and fiction
is laid out for you to see
ante up or call my bluff
you can only win

Julho
chegou
para mudar
o gosto de julho.

Dá-me a tua mão; 
dê a tua mão: 
tenha certeza 
na sintaxe extrema
– servir,
relacionar, 
comprar
vender
e fazer
mais e mais!

E julho será 
à gosto
ante-sala 
de agosto!

Premium Member Ante Up Urrrp

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 Up For Love

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!

Gaping Open Wounds

Gaping open wounds that never heal 
Is this what is for each of us is the real deal
Sometimes it’s the pain
That in the end remains

You may think your heart will break
For what in the end will you make
Of this world of bitter tears
Look to ante up you may be in arrears.

Vamos

Vamos

Nas linhas das palmas das mãos,
eles escreveram o destino dos passos
com a pretensão de escrever o destino do sol.

Agora é o momento
o sol já se liberta
mostrando o caminho da liberdade dos passos.

Levante-se,
levante sua mão –, 
coloque “pé ante pé”,
a longa noite para de sufocar
e o dia chega.

Ante Up

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

Only In Passing

I passed over Monet this morning--an Ohio River-crossing;
the promise fulfilled with ante meridian mists,
trees, sun, and deep, moving waters
exploding in mute reflection
as leaves on the banks paid homage.

Sudden, brush-filled hands shot up from the depths--Excaliburs all--
staking their ancient claims to everlasting morning glory.

Ahora Palabras

Y ahora el camino
palabra de espiga.

Ahora me nombras
palabra de verso.

Ahora me atas
palabra de sueño.

Ahora me asustas
palabra de *****.

Ahora me tocas
palabra de beso.

Y entonces me miras
palabra de espejo
y ante tu mirada contemplo mi aspecto.

Y ahora cerezos
la voz de jardines
palabras de lluvia
gotas de silencio.

Penny Ante

No longer will a penny
For your thoughts make any sense,
Since there will not be any
Pennies left to thus dispense.

A penny saved, a penny earned – 
Advice that represents
Frugality cannot be learned
Without the evidence.

From heaven, pennies won’t rain down
And that’s a consequence
Of a would-be king who lacks a crown
But rules at our expense.

El Hombre

En los ojos y palabras de un hombre
he visto peligros y amenazas
Sus pareceres son un macabro
laberinto de intenciones
perversas y demoníacas
Gran misterio es la cueva
de su corazón
Solo la integridad
la pureza
y la verdad constituyen el yelmo
de protección contra sus
tenebrosos dardos
Puedes estar en paz
y cerrar los ojos ante un hombre
solo cuando lo veas en su tumba

It Never Happened

I was not afraid of legacy
seeking out a collateral
collapse of a fantasy.

Raising the ante?
I was prepared to meet
the unknown in your chest.

What came as a surprise
in a white boat. I will
never know of death.

A pause, a stutter,
sacrificing civility to open
the door of the poor syllables.

The secret will go in?
the grave along with 
the famished poet.

Ante Meridian

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 voice
in the exertion of waking up

he dances a kiss on my cheek
to peel off the numbness
and dulcifies the leap 
from dream to reality

Premium Member Worked Up Lies

Mind tormented with stresses of the day.
Misled truths and thoughts in disarray.

A purveyor of lies, they are to me.
Unfairly treated, their so-called bribery.

Against a wall, repeatedly my head pounds.
Nothing is played out right, revenge on rebound.

Just let me go to collect my dignity.
Your fibs just keep adding up the ante.

I am spent and somber, from your wrong dealings.
Please just let me go from your mental beatings.

Ante Sala De Agosto

Ante sala de Agosto

Julho 
está a findar - À gosto
Que pode mudar
O gosto de agosto.

Faça hoje 
que ainda tem tempo. 
O tempo
pede conta do tempo.
Não gaste o tempo em passatempo.

Dá-me a tua mão; 
Dê a tua mão: Acredite:
Mostre palavras
Fique atenta ao tempo: 
Faça agora
Um pouco a mais,
na vida e nos negócios o tempo,
MUDA O PRESENTE
ESCREVE O FUTURO.
