Diferente

Hoje é segunda-feira 
diferente: é carnaval, 
as ruas vivem
o samba e o frevo,
são diversos,
mas, 
na diferença
se unem
celebram a vida, 
propagam
energia
para fazer
com pouco
mais e mais....

Limerick: Once an elegant Earl from Eton

Once an elegant Earl from Eton
Daily dreamed of swinging with Tarzan
In Brazil learned samba
Married virile cougar
Now sells D.V.D.s on Amazon.

Today I will be as useless as the “g” in lasagna
Or even more than a “j” instead of a “w” in marijuana
Forgive my ignorance
I'm totally innocent
Growed up in the thirties when folks danced the samba...

My foreign relief teacher my loins disturb,
her English poor but her Brazilian superb.
       She asked in her best grammar 
                  if I would like to samba?
I do love to dance but “No Miss, wrong verb!”...

Limerick : Once our Senorita from Sevilla – 12

Once our Senorita from Sevilla
Entered a dance contest in Bahia
Others danced the salsa
Rita dirty samba
Since Sevilla sells the new dance : Salsamba !* 

•	« Sal » in French means « dirty ».

Jamming geniuses - Wow!

                  Jitterbugging soul feels

        joyous, with not a care!

                          Jovial Satchmo swings,

            Joe Pass, Ella, Miles, Bird

    join: samba, bebop, blues -

                      Jazz, a heaven on earth!

Sarah’s work was once a coma
But now she’s erupting lava
She likes red wine and neat vodka
She likes to smoke her big hooka
Like to dye her hair with henna
She is crazy she is pukka
She’ll wiggle her bum to samba
She’s my lovely darling mukka
I’m her young and toy boy fella
One day we’ll elope together...

Samba Rhythms resonating through the jasmine hedges,
while lads and lasses sip fruity drinks with colorful umbrellas
in them,
The natives hustle to the samba rhythms, 
exchanging partners methodically,
The synchronicity is enchanting,
A night of frivolity and gaiety,
in a forgotten war torn country.........

SAMBA

The samba from Morro Carioca
survived for the world,
Long live Mama Africa... !

   ROCK

The rock and roll
runs wild
on the rocks...

   SPEED GONZALEZ

In Juanita's canteen
mariachis and tequila
and bursts of laughter...

WALTZ
Oh! If I danced,
Ah! If I played,
The Viennese Waltz ...!...

A rhapsody of
rock and roll rain,
tango twisting winds,
samba snow flakes, 
step, skip, 
spin and swing.

So the subdued sun 
remains solemnly shy 
as its orchestra of rays 
fail to compose.

Recalling 
vivid verdant visions, 
a promenade 
of naked trees tremble, 
serenading melancholic melodies.

On a bitter branch
a nightingale 
sits in silence.

The music,
The touching,
The after.

All the types
    from Folk to Polka,
            Tango, Rumba, Samba,
            Waltz to Square,
            Cha Cha, Mambo, Twist ,
            Tap, Jazz, Rock.
Ballroom Proms to Backyard Parties,
Late Night Dives and Quite Evenings.
Steps that Jump, Slide Skip and Hop,
And then some motion stops.

Then we go INTERPRETIVE...

My favorite pastime?

What about yours?

Danger is my dalliance!

Conformity? No way!

Feels as a heavy cape.

Just be you, is all I ask!

Be true, hardly, an easy task,

Rules are for ghouls!

Stop wearing spiritual girdles!

Like old Aunt Myrtle,

Let's get naked by the stream.

And samba liked fishes in wanton, aqua dreams!

Nether and far, darkness among stars
A painless realm daunting hidden charm
Neutrons and Adams, the beginning
Above the heavens, gods even sinning

Crimes of the universe
Negatives and positives
Black holes letting the evil escape
Crippling this world with 

Left over hate

Tears overwhelm	
		And saturate


Ubiquitous whims
	In rhythm sings
		At fates door	
			No more...

I remember seeing your picture
so beautiful to my eyes
a lady of my dreams a beauty queen
i never thought you would love me,
for your more beautiful then i've ever seen a brazilian queen
my samba dream.
gardens filled with love.
 waters flowing like a love poem.
iam lost forever in your beautiful eyes

my body so raw but i have forever found my cure my love 
forever more.

Writing outside
where the failing wind
sources my contours
the whoosh of irreverent travel
slips the ear
and the bristle yap of a garden dog
above mist swords
and billowed edges
whisper in a diluted sun
set for another encore
grass tantalises with samba sways
and bushes wave their tendrilled fingers
in evenings gaps
golden ashes transmute to dirt
as dancing flies
cool in disputed thermals...

       In joyfulness, I truly do belong to you.
                       
       Branded for all life, in all kinds of weather.

       Each dawn, we get up and dance Samba at sunrise's door.

       I live in the warm whirlpool of your love.

       With memories I fondly adore, Mi Amor!

Your very love,my girl
Makes for accomplishment;
For the crystalline view of your nipples
Proves for understanding
And the gesture of your breast yet takes one to
wonder land
I felt of my inside,the impact of your rolling ass
My inside yells to your turning and shaking
Ass
Shake it;
For i'm ready to feel the impact,
when its' rolled
I'll yet play the samba;
Cos' my love speaks;
to see reality but Once....

A voice that still haunts me
and lives in my dreams
The first time I saw her
a boy of sixteen

She lived just a mile
from where I am now
A treasure so hidden
to whose memory I bow

The Samba and Rio
she took me along
Yet barely a man
making love to her song

My eyes can still close
and return to that beach
where my heart she first captured
—and never released

Muda tudo

Mudam-se os tempos, 
mudam-se as vontades, 
pouco muda é o amor
é a compaixão
a base & batom
o samba de cada sonho. 

No Carnaval dos sonhos,
marchinha de inspiração,
versos de serenidade,
 tolerância e amor,
são a base do sucesso!

OI, Oi, Embarque nessa folia!
De serenidade,
tolerância e amor
onde é certa a alegria
de fazer tudo um pouco mais
fazer tudo isso sem moderação...
Tum, Tum, Tum......

           The Magic of Music


Neither a musician am I, nor an aficionado be.
Music brings me joy, when there is sorrow.
Perchance a love song lights my tomorrow.
Blues appropriate when I am low.
Jazz, Samba, oh such zest.
Magically, true soul fest.
Mind gets still.
Heart sings.
Pleasurings.

You Can Never Dance A Tango With A Mango


     You can never dance a Tango With a Mango

     And the Damson is a drama in the Jive.

     And the Grapefruit you can bet

     Has not done the Rhumba yet

     And that a Kumquat does the Foxtrot

     Is entirely false.

     The Samba when in season can be entirely pleasin’

     But the Mango cannot Tango or dance the Waltz.
