Confession - Poetry by Monolin Manny Moreno, Guess Blogger, Author


Confession
 

Everything has a beginning,
 an origin creation story, 
the universe, rivers, trees you and I.
 We're only a breath
 in the grand scheme of things,
 and who on earth really knows
 where we go from here
 when the worms inherit our flesh.

 It's a horrible feeling to imagine,
 a lake of fire could be where
 you're bound to, 
for the moronic way you lived, 
to be with all the other morons
 from the very first moron
 of the human race, 
there moaning, gnashing their teeth.

 
Imagine when you crossover
 a winged creature 
shining like a star will be there
 to greet you to hand you
 a one way ticket to hell,
 

where the fire is inexhaustible,
 and every vile and evil being
 ever existed since the origin of man
imagine you might be rubbing
 elbows with them.

 
Maybe you're not a moron,
 though you lived at times like one,
 for the most part 
you been a goody two-shoes,
 and for that you think
 you deserve to enter through
 those big-ass pearly gates


 when you leave this world,
 where man from the cross
 will be there standing, 
smiling all hippie-like, 
to show you your mansion
 he promised for being one of his sheep.


 Why won't it be a tipi, 
or a shack like the shack you grew-up in,
 who's to know if the mansion
 isn't just an adobe hut?

Maybe we'll just end-up little lights.

Adolfo Presents "Jazz Chimera" and more! Celebrating the close of National Poetry Month~

Jazz Chimera

Beat the drum to start the tempo;
strike the cymbals
for a silvery tone;
sound the sax
for an indigo mood;
let the horn sing out in despair.

Sing all
with disconcerted sounds.

Combine the pastoral 
to the storm
with clarinets and strings,
the thunder with the base
and the fury of a gong.

Let the bodies quiver from within 
and build
the jazz's chimerical beat
into a tantrum
of ecstatic expectation.
--Adolph Caso

Sera D'Ottobre

Penombre di nuvole rosse
affiancano l'orizzonte lontano
sfolgorato di un sole d'autunno
e con se si fonde il mio animo.

La sera silenziosamente scende
nel cinguettio frenetico di uccelli

sugli alberi che non son piu di ieri
--Adolph Caso


On the evening in October 
Shadows of red clouds
 alongside the distant horizon
 shone forth of an autumn sun
 and if it melts my heart . 
 The evening falls silently
 the frantic chirping of birds
 trees which are not more than yesterday
~~~






Confessione

Musica,
divinamente
mi arrivi
e investi i miei sensi.

L'anima trema
incontrollabile:

Dio! io dico
L'estasi esclama!
--Adolph Caso


Confession
 Music,
 divinely I arrive and invest my senses.
 The soul trembles
 uncontrollable:
 God! I say 
The ecstasy exclaims!
