I Sing of Avila

Ávila de las Montañas Azules
By Andrene Bonner

Mujer Negra
Feroz como el león
Fuerte como las Montañas Azules.

Ella camina en silencio entre las nubes
Misteriosa como el viento
Todavía—su política—es profunda
Su ética—es concreta
Su pasión—es real.

Mujer Negra
Feroz como el león
Fuerte como las Montañas Azules.

Ella lucha por la justicia social
 y la libertad para los marginados
 Da comida a los pobres
 y cuida  los ancianos.

Mujer Negra
Feroz como el león
Fuerte como las Montañas Azules.

Ella es leal al país, a pesar de su complejidad
Sin embargo, ella exige contabilidad 
y justicia de su gobierno
Guardando la cultura a toda costa.

Mujer Negra
Feroz como el león
Fuerte como las Montañas Azules.

Con todo mi corazón
Aprecio tu amistad
Con todo mi corazón
Aprecio tu amor por la humanidad
Con todo mi corazón
Te aprecio mi camarada—Ávila.

Part we lips when night time come

Morning Musings
by Andrene Bonner

Wicked red-headed rooster
Conspiring to wake me
From this blissful daybreak
Of pure forbidden love.

Go to yonder meddlesome
Wake you that conscience
Dulled by its belligerence
Prolong this idyllic morn.

Why this spiteful awakening
Of lovers who have yearned
For quiet contemplation
Among these speckled violets
 
That give these Blue Mountains
Their fragrance sweet when
Trade winds rukumbine a wicked
Rubadub among the dactylon and buttercups.   

Your crowing hurts the ears
Where soft kisses linger
And warm bodies still afire
From natures melodious Euphonia.

Leave us o cruel yard bird
Find you another coop
Where hens await your mating
And I courtly love embrace.

Walked pass Jasmines
 Fragrance of your soft hair
 Gone with the wind.

For You
By Andrene Bonner 

Woke up from your touch
  Dandelions burst yellow
  Bees sting a heartaches.

Choice of Poets

2/7/2011

‎"A Choice of Poets" edited by R.P. Hewett is one of the few text books that survived the voyage from JA to US--a JA$1.52 price tag. It was in those pages that I fell in love with William Wordsworth, William Blake, John Keats, Thomas Hardy, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost. I'm sure they would have words for me if they knew I was loving them all at the same time.
