The lamp of poetry

From the forehead, which is a lyrical lamp, overflows its accent.


like an oil of aroma and grace, the burning poetry,
and to the incantations exhales singing its fresh harmony,
vase filling with ineffable light the sponge of the wind.

Verses peel like wings anointed with lyrical balm


about the foreheads, which open like roses of white joy;
and a fan of celestial rhythms the air unravels,
What if he moved his feathers by the magic of God's breath.

Pour into the air the noble lamp its divine sounds,
that dripping pure syllables spill their trills
from the bowl of the brain of fire that sings sonorously.

And flying, the souls come, burnt with thirst


like doves that drink dew and ripple bathed
in the tremor of the fountain rises from the verse of gold.

Stamens and pistils


Under the veil of the transparent water
impregnated with rays of light,
shy stamens and pistils
se citan, para amarse, en el ambiente.

Crossing the shining liquid


the loving stems peer out,
and the rustling wind anthems
the dazzling light exposes them.

At the same time hidden in the foliage,


how many sweet mysterious scenes
among the forests they will form the nests.

The slow unfolding of the roses,


the crunching of the grains, the heartbeat...
Oh invisible concert of things!

Fire hours
Quietude, laziness, languor, calm...
un sol desencajado el suelo dora,
and to its brave dazzling light
that has left him fascinated and blind.
The Latin sea, and Andalusian, and Greek,
sighs from the cadence of the mulberry,
and the gentle jug that weeps pearls
it swings in the golden and fiery nap.

In red and white the city blazes;


not a breeze shakes the trees,
drawing out slow melodies from them.

And about the glowing tone of the environment,


fresh cover their laughing carmine
in their torn mouths the watermelons.

Aphrodite
Venus, the one with the adored breasts
that nourish with vigor sap and roses;
the one who spills butterflies when looking
and when they smile, the hills bloom;

the one in frozen souls and bodies


fertile you bring forth generous flames,
from Eros to affectionate caresses
he/she showcases his/her chiseled garments.

She is the living force, the burning breath


of how much it dreams and enjoys, thinks and feels;
de cuanto canta y ríe, vibra y ama.

In the child, there is innocence, echo in the laughter;

in the water song, kiss in the breeze,


ember in the heart, flower on the branch.

Dancer
With a wide-brimmed hat on like a crown
and the shawl descending in strands to her knees,
dance a sevillana the seguidillas
to the gypsy echoes that a young man sings.

Chorus of strong voices sings and proclaims


from her face and her graces the wonders,
and she moves, both cheeks inflamed,
the regal curve train of their person.
When it arches its body like a snake
and in fleeting waves it turns and breaks
to the brilliant reflection of the spiders,

a thunderous clamor bursts forth,


and in a measure ties the melody
palms, laughter, flirtations, strings and rods.
