more than a king`s Minion

JEAN ALEIXANDRE OF NORMANDIE

One of the most famous bards from France is Jean Aleixandre of Normandie. Nobleman, philantropist, journalist and amateur veterinarian, he was one of king Henri III´s favorites. He converted into Judaism upon his marriage.He wrote the famous Diary of Ignominy and created several orphanages and animal refuges.He died at age 95 of a heart attack.

THE BEST

I need to believe
In a magic somewhere
To go when I leave.
Being nothing out there
I know the best place to rest
Is by my Seine, with my cats, definitely the best.

EPITAPH

He loved with an intensity
That put the sun´s fire to shame.
Let that, Lenore, be an epitaph for me,
The best way to remember my name.

MIRACLE
I refuse to believe in miracles, but, guess …what´s that?
I´ll credit nature as a goddess, for she made my Gnat.


CRAVINGS
Cravings are your belly´s memories
About past felicity and future delight.


CATS
On a sultry summer day
Clouds puff whiskers and paws,
Tails and snouts and claws
As a premonition that if someday
Reincarnation may prove true.
I may come back to life again, as a cat, too.
SOLARIS

Cat swallowed a sun, it glows in its eyes
And rumbles in its warmth.

TRINITY
If you were real
I´d love to tell you
How I feel.

They taught us as was due
That you´re a trinity
But, truth to tell
It sounds like nonsense to me.

As a father, you fell
Into the worst thing you could do.
You never loved your son
If you sacrificed him too.
As a father that I am I look upon
You as the worst monster there can be.
As a father of 4 children, no,
I´d never send them to death, not me!
I´d spare them any woe.

Holy Ghost? What ghost or spirit fair
Were you but a lascivious cad
Who took another man´s bride and made her bear
A bastard? Holy… was that the best holiness you had?

Son. If bearded Jesus was your son indeed
He seems most likable of all the lot, in a way.
Yet he was too submissive, and despite his deeds
He should have known better than to obey.

I don´t like you, god. I don´t.
I´ve asked you to show up, but you won´t.
You aren´t even dead.
I suspect you never existed, instead.

FATALITY

For René Pérez


Bliss for the tree that is barely sensitive,
And more for hard stone for it no longer feels,
for there is no greater pain than the ache of being alive,
Nor greater gloom than in conscious life.

To be, and to know nothing, and to be without a certain path aled,
And fear of having been and a future terror
And the sure fright of being tomorrow dead,
And to suffer for life and for shadow and for

What we know not and barely suspect,
And flesh that tempts with its fresh bouquet
And the tomb that awaits with its funereal branch aglow
And not to know where we go,
Nor where we come from!




TO MARGARITA DEBAYLE

Margarita, behold the beauteous sea,
The wind
Brings orange blossom´s scent,
I feel
In my soul a lark singing
Your accent.
Margarita I am going to tell
You a tale.

This was a king who had
A palace made of diamonds,
a tent of sunlight made
and a herd of elephants,
a kiosk of malachite true,
a great veil made of tissue,
and a gentle little princess,
as pretty,
Margarita, as pretty as you.

One afternoon the princess
Saw a star appear,
The princess was mischievous
And she wanted to bring it here.

She wanted it to make
A stickpin decorate,
With a verse and a pearl,
with a feather and a flower.

Alluring princesses as I know
All are just like you,
they pluck lilies, they pluck roses.
They pluck stars, they are just so.

So the beautiful girl went afar
Under heavens and o´er the sea,
To pluck the white star
Which caused her sigh to be.

And up her path she followed
O´er the moon and so beyond,
But the bad thing was that she had
No permission from her dad.

When she came back down
And onto the Lord´s parks fore,
She looked all wrapped in a haze
Of the sweetest splendor.

And the king thus inquired,”Where were you?
I have sought for you and found you not, no!.
And what do you have upon your bosom
That it so bright looks so!”

The princess never lied
And hence she told the truth,
“I went to pluck this star of mine
From the huge blue sky.”

Now the king booms,”Have not I
Told you that the blue sky can´t be touched?
What a lunacy! What a whim!
The Lord will be annoyed at such!”

And she replied,”There was no try,
I went ahead I know not why,
O´er the waves and in the wind
I went to the star and plucked it.”

And father angrily says,
“Your punishment must you have,
Go to heaven and what was stolen away
You must give back at once.”

The princess grows sad
Over her sweet flower of light,
When at once appears
Good Jesus smiling alight.

And He says,” From my meadows
This rose I offered her , you see,
These are flowers for the little girls
Who when dreaming think of me.”

The king dresses up in bright attire.
And then he parades around
400 elephants
Along the seashore round.

The princess looks beautiful,
For she has her brooch with her
In which are together, along the star,
A verse, a pearl and a blossom.

Margarita, behold the beauteous sea,
And the wind
Brings orange blossoms´ scent:
Your accent.

Since so far from me
You are going to be,
Keep, my child, a gentle thought
For that one who one day
Wished to tell you a tale.


FOR ROOSEVELT

´Tis with voice from the Bible, or verse by Walt Whitman,
That I shall come to you, Hunter!
Primitive and modern, simple and complicated,
With a bit of Washington and four of Nimrod!

You are the United States,
You are the future invader
Of the naïve America that has indigenous blood,
Who still prays to Jesus Christ and still speaks Spanish.

You are an overbearing and strong sample from your race,
You are well-read, you are able, you oppose Tolstoy.
And breaking horses o slaughtering tigers,
You are an Alexander Nebuchadnezzar.
(You are an energy professor,
As the current lunatics say).

You believe that life is a fire,
And that progress is an eruption.
Where you put the bullet
The future shall be put.

No.

The United States is powerful and great,
When it shakes there is a deep tremor
Running down the enormous vertebrae of the Andes.
If you holler, a lion´s roar is heard.

Thus Hugo said to Grant.”Stars are yours,”
(Barely does it shine, rising the Argentine sun
and the Chilean star climbs) You are rich.
You gather the cult to Hercules along Mammon´s cult,
Shining along the path of easy conquest,
Liberty raises its torch in New York.

But our America, who had poets since
The old times of Netzahualcoyotl,
The same that has guarded the footprints of great Bacchus´feet
Who once upon a time had learned the great alphabet of Pan,
Who consulted the stars, who knew Atlantis,
Whose name resounds through Plato,
Who from the remotest moments of her life
Lives on light, on fire, on perfume, on love,
The America of the great Moctezuma, of the Inca,
The fragrant America of Christopher Columbus,
Catholic America, Spanish America,
The America in which the noble Cuahtemoc said,
“I am not in a bed of roses”, that America
That trembles of hurricanes and lives on Love.
Men of Saxon eyes and barbaric soul, lives.
And dreams. And loves, and vibrates, and she is the daughter of the Sun.
Beware! The Spanish America lives!
There are one thousand cubs roaming free from the Spanish Lion.
It would be necessary, Roosevelt, to be by God himself,
The Terrible Gunman and strong Hunter ,
In order to be able to have us in your iron talons.

And, you have everything going for you, except one thing you lack: God.


TO CAUPOLICAN


For Enrique Hernández Mayorga


T´was a formidable feat seen by the old race,
A robust tree trunk on the shoulder of a champion
As savage and valiant, whose burly mace
Could defeat the arm of Hercules, or the arm of Samson.

For helmet his hair, for shield only his chest,
Could such a warrior, from the Arauco region,
Lancer of the woods, Nimrod that hunts for best,
Tear apart a bull or strangle a mighty lion.

He walked and walked and walked. He was seen by daylight,
Was gazed upon by pale afternoon, and sighted by the cold night,
And still the tree trunk was carried by the titan.

“The Toqui! The Toqui!” cheers the exhilarated caste.
He walked, walked and walked. The Dawn said ,”Stop!” in haste,
And so rose up the high brow of the great Caupolicán.

Poemas de Salamandra

"Salamandra" es el seudònimo de un aventajado alumno mìo de inglès, con un chispeante sentido del humor y una inteligencia poco comùn.Cumpliendo con mi objetivo de dar a conocer la obra de quienes ameritan ser admirados y leìdos, he aquì un ramillete de la poesìa de este poeta nicaraguense.

Cecilia

VACIO

Te conocí y no percibí sentimiento alguno

Divagaba mi mente en cosas sin sentido,
Sin luz, sin brillo, sin deseo.

Después, detuve mi vista y mi mente en ti
Morena, hermosa, bella, inteligente
Demasiadas cualidades para una misma persona,
Y volví a caer al vacío.

Al vacío de sentirte lejos, inalcanzable,
Al vacío de no poder tenerte, de no poder
Amarte, de no poder entregarme como mí
Corazón hubiese querido.

Y como magia, todo cambio, tú me tuviste
Tu me deseaste, tu me amaste y yò
Me deje llevar.

Soñé tantas veces lo mismo, sentí tantas
Veces lo mismo, que pensé era verdad,
Pero al sacudir mi mente, al abrir los
Ojos y mi corazón, sentí el mundo
Real, y volví otra vez al hastío
Volví, como al empezar estos versos
Volví a estar vacío.

Y MI ESPACIO?

No se, si inspirado en mis celos, en mi
Enojo o mi incomodidad, sentí deseos de escribir.

Claro, no soy poeta, no tengo Musa, no tengo Ninfas,
Ni imaginación, ni mucho menos.

Entonces, pensé escribir mi realidad,
Empecé por ver lo que tenia, Nada.
Vivía en una casa que no era mía,
Tenía una mujer que no era mía,
Tenía una hija que no era mía.
Bueno, ni siquiera el lápiz con que escribía
Era mío.

No se si era conquistador o usurpador,
Tal vez eso me inspiraba más, pero yo quería tener algo.
Mi princesa tal vez no me quería, o tal vez
Nunca me quiso, eso ya no importaba.
Pero yo insistía en tener algo.

Volví a buscar, aunque fuera un lugar para mí.
Observe a mi alrededor y mire el espacio de las cosas.

Los muebles tenían su espacio,
El comedor tenía su espacio,
Los juguetes tenían su espacio,
El televisor tenía su espacio.

Y yo, me vi recostado en un colchón
En la sala de la casa y me pregunte,
Y mi espacio, donde esta?

VERSOS TRISTES

Quise incursionar en Poesía
Y pienso que soy pesimista,
Tanto, que solo escribo versos tristes.

Demando mucho Amor y
Ofrezco el más mínimo.

Busco la inspiración y solo la encuentro
En la incertidumbre, en la inseguridad,
En los celos, en el egoísmo.

Leo cosas Bellas y escribo penas

Y aun así, después de todo,
Mi inspiración a escribir, esta basada en un gran amor,
En un gran amor no correspondido,
En una gran Amor, Triste.



LOS DIEZ MANDAMIENTOS DE MI HOGAR
(para hombres casados con mujeres liberadas)

1.- Amaras a tu compañera por sobre todas las cosas.

2.- Dejaras las desiciones importantes en manos de la mujer y los niños (mimados).

3.- Negaras la relación que existe con tu pareja, excepto cuando sea autorizada por ella.

4.- En caso de visita a tu mujer, esconderte en el fondo de la casa.

5.- Evitar llegar o llamar al trabajo, para no delatar la relación de tu pareja.

6.- No tomar, no trasnochar, no salir con amigos, eso es de uso exclusivo de la mujer.

7.- Dar amor, cariño, afecto, atención, sin esperar ser correspondido.

8.- Dormir solo y en la sala, para no darle molestias a los niños.

9.- Tener relaciones sexuales sin besos y abrazos.

10.- Se deberá salir a pasear solamente con dinero suficiente, en caso contrario, ver television y oír música todo el día.

IDENTIKIT

Te observo, y mis ojos aunque pequeños,
Pueden admirar toda tu belleza.

Tu mirada fija y penetrante
Tu rostro sin camufle, sencillo, humilde,
Que muestra tu personalidad

Tus pechos medianos, pero desbordantes,
Como el magma volcánico.

Tu piel adornada sensiblemente por la alfombra
De tus vellos, (me imagino tu pubis de espuma).

Tu caminado firme y sin vacilaciones,
Toda tu vida sin prejuicios.

Después de observarte, le doy vueltas y vueltas
A mi imaginación, hasta juntar todas tus cualidades,
(Físicas y humanas), cualidades que denotan,
Todo tu erotismo.



MI TRISTE UNIVERSO

Cual estrella fugaz
Apareciste en mí,
Y tu luz se reflejo
En mi corazón, que también brilló.

Forme en mi mente un Universo
Donde tú siempre existieras.
Dijiste, en ti mi luz morirá,
Y yo respondí
El brillo que tengo es de Amor,
Que esta en el infinito Universo.

Hoy te apagas y mi alma llora,
Llora sin comprender,
Que sos estrella fugaz,
Que como llegas, te vas.






Y PARA QUE?

¡Reclamas un Poema¡
Y para que?
Si toda mi inspiración,
se resume en una sola frase
TE AMO.

SIN AMISTAD

Sin ser amigos,
Me basta juzgarte,
Musa de inspiración,
Crisálida de esperanza,
Estrella fugaz, clara, sencilla, brillante
Por eso DIOS es DIOS.
Con esas cualidades,
Solo le pido al creador,
Que tu compañero te merezca.




POEMIA

Mariposas en el estomago
Estrellitas y Duendes
Rima Asonante y Consonante
Amor y Desprecio
Locura o Audacia
Despecho o Amor
Que difícil la Poesía
Cuando no es la que siento mía
La irreverente, la Descuadrada
La que quiero escribir
Par la persona Amada
La que me pide un Poema
Y no se lo puedo dar
No es que no quiero,
Sino que no puedo,
Pero sobre todo, porque
Realmente no soy Poeta,
No tengo ni idea, ni razón.
Y además, para que necesito un Poema,
Si la tengo a ella,
Y solamente Ella,
Ya es MI POEMA.

TU RELOJ

Déjame ser para ti
El despertador del Amor
La alarma que haga vibrar tu corazón.
El Tic Tac de tus sentimientos,
Los segundos de tus palpitaciones,
Los minutos de tu Erotismo,
Las horas que hagan explotar todos tus deseos.
Que mis palabras sean tu amanecer,
Y mis pensamientos el garante de tus sueños.

MIS AVENTURAS

Si fuera Actor,
Desearía ser el Indiana Johns de tu cuerpo.
Robar con mis besos el rubí de tus labios,
Escalar tus gemelos volcanes,
Hasta hacer brotar el magma con mis caricias.
Beber del pozo de tu ombligo,
Conquistar la selva virgen de tu pubis,
Y perderme en el túnel de tu vientre.
Si no te basta, muéstrame la otra parte de tu silueta,
Y empezare una nueva Aventura.
