Took a shine
To his porch rats
Only allows
Them to be caught
Live-
Then driven
By car
To West Camino Cielo

Cantares
Todo pasa y todo queda,
pero lo nuestro es pasar,
pasar haciendo caminos,
caminos sobre el mar.
Nunca persequí la gloria,
ni dejar en la memoria
de los hombres mi canción;
yo amo los mundos sutiles,
ingrávidos y gentiles,
como pompas de jabón.
Me gusta verlos pintarse
de sol y grana, volar
bajo el cielo azul, temblar
súbitamente y quebrarse…
Nunca perseguí la gloria.
Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino y nada más;
caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace camino
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante no hay camino
sino estelas en la mar…
Hace algún tiempo en ese lugar
donde hoy los bosques se visten de espinos
se oyó la voz de un poeta gritar
'Caminante no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar…'
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso…
Murió el poeta lejos del hogar.
Le cubre el polvo de un país vecino.
Al alejarse le vieron llorar.
'Caminante no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar…'
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso…
Cuando el jilguero no puede cantar.
Cuando el poeta es un peregrino,
cuando de nada nos sirve rezar.
'Caminante no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar…'
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso.

Agua Que Va Caer
Malo tiempo yo no quiero
Que me traigan .... desa fino
En mi soledad
Anagel divino yo no quiero
En mi camino la fatalidad
Cuando veo al cielo
Que se esta nublando
Cuando veo al cielo
Que se esta nublando
Chorus
Agua que va caer
Te juro que va mohar
Adios
Mis amigos adios
Hasta manana

Para Ser Eterno
Cunto diera por cambiar
Todo aquell o que hice mal
Cunto diera por morir y volver a despertar
Cunto diera yo en mi afn por hacerte regresar
Cunto dieran estos ojos por volverte a ver. . .
No esta tu cuerpo
Pero s tu recuerdo
Si bajas del cielo
Llvame a tu lado. . .
Solitario corazn
Ya no es tiempo de llorar
Lo pasado ya pas
Y lo hecho hecho est
Alguien tiene la razn
No se puede echar atrs
No se puede echar atrs
Cundo est tan tarde. . . .
No est tu cuerpo
Pero s tu recuerdo
si bajas del cielo
Llvame a tu lado. . .
Amor de humo blanco
Amor del quebranto
Si bjas del cielo
Llvame a tu lado. . . .
si bajas del cielo
Llvame a tu lado. . .
Para empezar a crecer. . . .
Para ser eterno, porque la distancia no es el fn
Para ser eterno, slo es una prueba ms
Para ser eterno, que tu recuerdo vivir en mi
Para ser eterno, por eso t ensame el camino
para ser eterno. . . .
En mis sueos puedo ver
Que te acercas mas a mi
Y en lo inmnso de tus ojos el destello de una luz
En tu ausncia la ilusin
De que seas para mi
Y en el tiempo un pretexto para amarte ms. . . .
No est tu cuerpo
Pero s tu recuerdo
Si bjas del cielo
Llvame a tu lado...
Amor de humo blanco
Amor del quebranto
Si bajas del cielo
llvame a tu lado
Si bajas del cielo
llvame a tu lado
Para empezar a crecer. . . .
Para ser eterno, porque la distancia no es el fn
Para ser eterno, slo es una prueba ms
Para ser eterno, que tu recuerdo vivir en mi
Para ser eterno,por eso tu ensame el camino
Para ser eterno...

Carros Al Cielo
Una mirada que pueda cruzar
al otro lado de toda la ciudad
Dime el camino que puedo tomar
Ya no puedo esperar
En cada historia que me puedo imaginar
simpre al final lo bueno tengo que ganar
Atormentado por mi decepcion
Como puedo aguantar?
Creo que estoy atrapado aqui ( Oh No )
Viendo los carros al cielo
Ya nada vale la pena ( Oh No )
Viendo los carros al cielo...junto a ti
Dentro del trafico y mi desesperacion
Despues de un rato mi paciencia se acabo
Veo que es muy tarde, moverme hacia atras
Solo quiero llegar
Creo que estoy atrapado aqui ( Oh No )
Viendo los carros al cielo
Ya nada vale la pena ( Oh No )
Viendo los carros al cielo...junto a ti
Junto a ti

El camino
El camino -- blazing down the road
El camino -- ah, shes fast, never slow
El camino -- conquest of the night
El camino -- aztec machine speeding to the light
Toronado -- concienda il ma pweeb
Toronado -- ah, she rules the laws of speed
Toronado -- shes a bull of a machine
Toronado -- beauty like Ive never seen
Cordoba -- hot siesta at high noon
Cordoba -- oh, she takes me to the moon
Cordoba -- oh, estienda ma chi esta que
Cordoba -- el puentes masto mehta
Cuondo cuondo cuondo
Cuondo cuondo
--(this part taken from jefferson starships white rabbit,
Who got the idea from lewis carrolls alice in wonderland story):
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Dont do anything at all.

Home Truths
Seeking a Truth
The sewers under the abortion clinic
is where successful rats live and only
the strongest survives.
From the bland food of suburbia and
narrow minded excrements, unwilling
given back to the drains and nature.
These big rats have survived to sit by
the top table and be respected as those
who deserves a prize for endurance.
They live on sludge of fetuses, tiny fingers
small, beating hearts; also, clean livers;
and the rats grow and reason as humans
Rich rats now have an army of lesser
rats to defend them, nothing last always,
but for some it ended before it began.

Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom and wave
Your worries and cares
Goodbye
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave
Your worries and cares

Tierras De Amores Y Sombras
Dame la lluvia
Dame el sol
Odo un cielo asi
Dame negro o damne luz
You no quiro un mondo en gris
Llevame en tus suenos
A traves de las tormentas
Dame un beso eterno
Entre luces y tinieblas
Llevate mi cuerpo
Hacia el fin de los anhelo
Y hoy te alejas
Y eres niebla en el deserto
Por amar doy mi fe
Doy mi vida y mis lementos
Sin piedad por sentir
Ya soy lagrimas y fuego
Y hoy ya olvide
De que lad del espejo
Sale el sol del amanecer
Por amar ya perdi el corazon
Carino no hay ningun lugar
Donde pueda amar sin miedo
Donde el tiempo se detenga
Y no lastime
Llevame a bailar
Hacia tierras de amores y sombras
Un camino que tu aliento
Ha maracado
En mi alma
Tanta sed por tu amor
Tanto cielo y tanto infierno
Sin peidad por vivir
Soy culpable de mi tonto amor
Y hoy ya olvide
De que lad del espejo
Sale el sol del amanecer
Por amar ya perdi el corazon
Carino no hay ningun lugar
Donde pueda amar sin miedo
Donde el timepo se detenga
Y no lastime
Llevame a bailar
Hacia tierras de amores y sombras
Un camino que tu aliento
Ha marcado
En mi alma
Amores y sombras
Amores y sombras
Amores y sombras
Pasion y dolor

Night Runners Competition Counted
we enjoy counting the rats
running around at night,
when we are arriving home
on our faithful motorbike,
usually two or three rats to see,
Kayla and I have a competition
counting first spied rats we see,
who can spot local drain rats first
the biggest rats seen truthfully
are as big as healthy pet cats,
we go look at pets frequently
in BSD once a week we peep,
in at a pet shop when we watch,
a movie in expedition BSD every week
a family movie is a special treat,
our two happy daughters think it so neat
our neigbour concreted over their open drain
next door rats love their drains seldom stray,
so less rats outside rats too close we do disdain
rats who venture close in life peril cannot stay,
if any bold rats venture into our house ceiling,
these rats are disposed of poisoned very quickly
our rule is no entry for any rats poison strictly,
tropical rat best learn trespass has no pity feeling.

Above The Shed On The Winter Porch
Above the shed, the winter porch
a young wild dove
continually calls its mate
and when the door slides open
I see dots on its breast
and at the pond it quenches its thirst
and I see dots
and I see dots
that shines; when it is frightened it becomes sullen.
Above the shed, the winter porch
the oak tree rustles
and then my mother coughs badly from croup
where sometimes she sits and dream
as the sunshine flames up hot
and I watch her caringly
as the sunshine flames up
as the sunshine flames up
as if a field fire runs past.
Above the shed, the winter porch
a swarm of swallows peck,
sometimes doves land in a group,
and at times I hear my mother sneezing
while I am caught with a kind of hope,
but I know that time is running out
while I am caught,
while I am caught
and my life at times feels sold out.

No Ms
Cuando el silencio
no deja ver la luz que hay en ti
slo puedo pensar
que ya no hay mas
que ya no estas aqui
Por fin
no tengo mas cadenas
no mas de ti
al fin
el cielo es eterno
no mas de ti
Casi pudiste
meterte en mi
y controlarme asi
hipnotizandome tu lo lograras
entrar de nuevo aqui
Por fin
no tengo mas cadenas
no mas de ti
al fin
el cielo es eterno
no mas de ti
Al fin te vas
al fin te vas
al fin te vas
al fin
No mas de ti
al fin el cielo es eterno
no mas de ti
por fin
no mas

te vas
no mas

Fluffy
Fluffy, furry buddy
Chewed his leg on the porch
Whyd you do it fluffy, on the porch?
Good dog fluffy, old friend my pal
Fluffys got his buddy on the porch
Penny, shes my girlie, she sits here with me on the porch
Penny looks so pretty on the porch
Penny takes fluffy for a walk out on the path
Fluffy chases the other doggies on the path
But big sister penny get fluffy back on the porch
So me and fluffy and penny were on the porch

Balada Amarilla IV
Sobre el cielo
de las margaritas ando.
Yo imagino esta tarde
que soy santo.
Me pusieron la luna
en las manos.
Yo la puse otra vez
en los espacios
y el Señor me premió
con la rosa y el halo.
Sobre el cielo
de las margaritas ando.
Y ahora voy
por este campo
a librar a las niñas
de galanes malos
y dar monedas de oro
a todos los muchachos.
Sobre el cielo
de las margaritas ando.

Shine For You
Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you
One thing I know
Is that you've changed my life
I give you my all
All you are is good
Give you my heart
God it's only you I seek
Give you my praise
'Cause I believe in you
Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you, O God
All that I know
Is that you've changed my life
I give you my all
And all you are is good
Carry the lost
Make my prayer in this life real
Carry my cross
Hold on 'til I see you
Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you, O God
And I want to live
I want to love you more
I want to be used
Father in all of the world
May your word be heard
May it stay on my lips
Live what I speak
Until your kingdom come
Look across the world
And let us shine for you
And let us shine for you
Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you
Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you
And I want to live for you
And I want to live for you

Driven Crazy or Crazy Driven
Are you driven crazy or crazy driven?
Are you driven by what people say OR are you crazy driven by an awesome day.
Are you driven crazy after a big fight OR crazy driven by a long night
If your driven crazy don't let anything get under your skin.
And if your crazy driven. It's your time to sin...

The Other Side of the Street
All though my married days I've lived
on the West side of the street.
I have dealt with plows in winter
that buried me knee deep
The West sides' winter sun is scarce
too weak to melt the ice.
So you'll see me out there chipping away
(Miami would be nice)
They get their trash collected first,
while we must wait a day.
I think the mailman likes them too,
He always starts their way.
In Spring their lawns are greener
In summer they have shade.
My back porch boils each afternoon-
no wonder I'm dismayed.
Mayhap I would be famous for
these poems that I excrete
If only I'd had the wit to live on
the other side of the street.
