Oda A La Musa (Rare Bilingual Edition)

Oda A La Musa


Ella es La Estrella

Quien symboliza lo que sella

[ Hembra sagrada de Sagitta ]

Aunque talvez no lo sabe

Causa el saber cuando este loco se agita

Por esa alma gitana

Arquera sobre el puente

Te edifico otro verso Magnipotente:

Vamos centauro |) - -'`===> tu flecha encanta

Como un flamenco del Mauro!

Translation (Ode To The Muse):

She is The Star

Whom symbolizes what she seals

[ Sacred female of Sagitta ]

Although she may not know it

She causes knowing when this madman stirs

Roused by her gypsy soul

Archer over the bridge

We raise you another Magniloquent verse:

Let's go centaur |) - -'`===> your arrow enchants

Like a Moorish flamenco!

Frog Prince Syndrome

"The women in this town

 Won't give me so much as a peck.

 Those where I come from

 They even stretch out their neck!"

~ Roque Dalton

Frog Prince Syndrome

- I -

Far from Principality he wanders

Witnessing wreckage and wonders

Playing a peasant that ponders

Impoverished as one who squanders

Rejected by raucous responders

- II -

Woe unto this Prince

His disguise too effective

Mismatched with Prima Donnas

(they are rather selective)

Whoever would kiss and

Transform toad thus defective?

- III -

There is none yet worthy

To claim him highly prized

But when they find each other

Both of them shall be surprised!

- IV -
Many a fine fly remains 
To be snared by kingly tongue
Thus this prince swims alone
Through thick swamps on his own ...
 
- V -
Yes that's his lot
With hackneyed cliches and a hollow plot
Rambling until every rattling bone starts to rot
No backup on the way; his words all he's got
Holding on tight if only to take a long shot
You get the gist ¿(or perhaps maybe not)?

Evol Psych & Heart Symbolism

The likeness of a voluptuous female form to symbolic hearts

Has been noted by many who point out their rounded curves

Along with vital redness, insinuating blood's inherent passion

Though it comes across at first glance as sheer vulgarity

From the vantage point of any Evolutionary Psychologist

There is nothing nonsensical about this choice of emblem

In nature (especially among our closest primate cousins)

The sight of an inflamed female buttocks is signal enough

For mating contests to begin between male members of a species

How apropos that our sign for Love should reflect Biology

Subconsciously heterosexual men seem to crave genetic cloning

So blessed be those women who permit them to regenerate thusly!

Absurdist Posts A Personals Ad

Absurdist Posts A Personals Ad

Single male, pushing forty

(a dodgy old sketch-bag to be sure)
Seeks feminist basket-case:
"Let's iron things out!"

Fond of breathtaking landscapes, possessing remarkable acumen
And overwhelmed by a robust desire to nurture
This particular specimen cannot help but hunt high-caliber quarry
Since he often envisions himself as a champion deep down

In his short span he has met insurmountable obstacles
Employing wits that match sinews on an endomorph frame
Tanned during days spent along Central-America's isthmus
Hatching ploys for coup d'etat among the dissident waifs
Of post Cold War colonialism—beyond Liberty's gates

Longs to play mind-games with an equal who hails from greener pastures
Before locking legs with her to enact pantomimes
Which imitate subversive carnal acts portrayed on celluloid
By dint of supra-objectifying lens

Would not mind siring a race of iconoclastic malcontents
(if only to sabotage Neoliberalism astride its unremitting march)
So please respond post-haste using code-phrase:
"Amantes sunt amentes!"

** Offer valid indefinitely to she who won't settle
for abusive, two-faced cons who'll just tarnish her mettle **

Unloving

Unloving

Accusing him of selfishness

She is not self-aware

Promotes her work well

But leaves him threadbare

He lays patient siege

Yet her walls are unscalable

Trying to soothe her bruised heart

Which remains unassailable

Every sound from his voice

Backfires without fail

Any action he takes

Her critique does derail

There were once brighter days

When their thoughts were in sync

Mutual vibes; bodies entwined

Now peace falls apart in a blink!

It happens to most of us

Though we dread its arrival

Roads lead to dead ends

Sweet words turn to libel

[This is the lemonade squeezed from the bitter limes of a rancid romance].
