what is faith tanka
what is faith
that does not doubt—
death,
insomnia
of shadows?
Saturday, November 28, 2015
friends say tanka
friends say
you have a new lover
I'm not
the one you're taking home...
broken bottles on the dance floor

we die tanka
we
die
without
saving the world
…
find beauty
in the remnants
of dead butterflies
death haiku
death …
the insomnia
of shadows
haiku
el insomnio
de las sombras
la muerte

before the mirror haiku
naked...
before the mirror
a thousand sorrows

predicting a séance tanka
you idiot
the impression I get
is that
you’re leaving me…
loving you is like predicting a
séance
unrepeatable night tanka
I want tell
the stars about the silent tears
hidden behind
the doors of this lifetime—
unrepeatable night with you
el amor haiku
el amor
te crema,
que quieres de el—
entrégate
now what tanka
now what?
I imagine
you giving away
the scent
of your body…
haiku el olvido
el olvido …
una huella en la arena
de tu cuerpo
my broken heart tanka
toss the pieces
of my broken heart
to the wind
don’t make me say yes
when I want to say no
I’m like the sun tanka
I’m like the sun,
all alone
I survive the thunderstorm,
I’m like the flower
that opens up after it rains
the harmonies of my skin tanka
listen
to the harmonies
of my skin…
I’m holding a daisy
that tells me yes, or no
your skin tanka
I wanted it to be
more than just a habit
I wanted to travel
across every inch of your skin,
but I became your puppet
one last moon tanka
give me
one last moon
stay tangled
in my hair tonight…
titillating heart
I’ve stopped loving you tanka
sometimes
I think I’ve stopped
loving you …
I run out to find a friend, and
wake up in some stranger’s bed

our last night together tanka
our last night
together— let’s end it
with a bang …
forget about the hurt
stop holding on to miracles
earning my strips tanka
earning
my strips wasn’t easy,
and even though
there’re no regrets
I miss the parties by the sea

otro haiku en español
hay tanto
territorio entre nosotros—
derrotados
haiku en español
todo me retorna
al tiempo en que tú estabas
aquí, cielo,
aquí
entre las faldas tanka
encontré
mis pies entre
las faldas
de tus montañas
cielos y océanos
let me take a photograph tanka
let me take
a photograph, that's if you're
here alone...
it's cold out here, baby
so don't let me down
loving you in the dark tanka
you keep backing
me up against these walls...
loving you
in the dark isn't my fault
sorry but I have to go
Inspired by Adeles song, love in the dark
against these walls
you back me up
against these walls...
loving you
in the dark isn't my fault
sorry but I have to go
the pain comes tanka
the pain comes
at the moment I leave...
don't realize
that I'm your remedy,
promise you won't fall apart

on the radio tanka
there's a voice
singing to me on the radio …
everyday occurrences
are the greatest gifts I have,
me and you— a simple formula
now what tanka
now what?
I'm losing my voice
calling you...
who will you let lie
on your back if not me
life without pain tanka
life without pain
doesn't taste the same...
I'm no longer
the owner of my heart
can't find it, can't find it
take my clothes off slowly tanka
take
my clothes off
slowly...
be careful
not to wake past fiascos
naked tanka
naked,
because my skin
disguises
a thousand sorrows,
in front of the mirror
your smile
your smile
sells happiness...
I live
crazy with desire
finding myself in your kisses
what light tanka
what light
did you leave on
inside me?...
sometimes a star’s silence
provokes my tears

Daniela Romo / Sueños De Cabaret (Full Album)
he's dressed tanka
he's dressed
in the clothes I threw
across the floor...
why are we pushing
this tragedy up a mountain

pour Paris
de laisser l'étreinte
sous les lumières parisiennes
baissant jamais
dans la peur de l' obscurité salope
sans vergogne de la terreur
for Paris a tanka
for Paris
let's hug
under Parisian lights
never crouching
in the dark, fearless of the
unrepentant bitch of terror

November
November
a month sheltered
in smiles--
Your countenance
makes my heart malleable
blessed
are
the First and Second nights
in the cities
of men's hearts*
...
dawn is about to appear
* Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

I'm a warrior
I am a warrior
unafraid of cavern air—
my attachment
to you, wounded Valkyrie,
is running out
you vanished
you vanished
in a hint of smoke--
I walked
on stilts, twirling
in the breeze
Thursday, November 05, 2015
stifled song
stifled song,
the realization
of no longer
breathing in memories,
faded urge for
intimacy

interrupted dream
what happens
to an interrupted dream,
does it droop
like a bulky stem
of ripe tomatoes ?
Traffic
Traffic
She ran onto the street naked. It was the last frontier, a desperate plea for help. We were shaken, ashamed, and helpless.
it feels
as if we've met...
I used to watch
you walk in the rain
and saw you go under

mariposa de ghetto
a los quince
zozobre a orillas de un faro
a los treinta
compre una falda
azul para mi sepelio
hoy me duele
el elegía en la barca
mezquina del alba
y vengo arrodillarme
ante la locura
I'm hollow,
I'm hollow,
are you listening
I'm in El Paso
dreaming about what
happened between us
it's no mystery
it's no mystery
we're running out
of time
when I'm with you
songbirds cry
