The Marriage of Adam and Eve

Sex is dirty, we've no need for it,

she said with glee, a shaking Tit.

Poor Adam looked down to earth -

he couldn't fathom a moralist's mirth.

He wondered why she just couldn't see -

Sex had created them and let them be.

At last, he looked up with a gleaming eye

And stared at her peaks without being shy.

Sex isn't dirty, though our minds might be,

He answered with wisdom and a certainty,

Nature commands that we must breed -

Bodies respond with an unbearable need.

Eve was quiet, thinking what to say,

You created this argument to have your way,

But I won't let you Sow your Seed,

Your eyes are twinkling with cunning greed.

Adam then thought of another ruse,

UnSowed Seed is man's abuse

And if you don't let me till your soil

I'll provide you nothing with my toil.

Ok, then, you may Sow your Seed,

Eve, in reply began to plead,

But, promise you will always give

What I need as long as you live.

Together, they went looking for priests,

I'll tie you both, don't mate like beasts,

said a priest they met along the way.

Adam didn't know what to say.

The priest tied them and sent them along

Adam's heart sank, Eve's soared in song.

She knew that she had a slave for life,

Poor Adam realized he had a wife.

Adam knew that man must mate

And Sow his Seed past many a gate,

But Eve wouldn't let that happen now

For she had tied him with a vow.

Three Poems on a Wanka Warrior

1) The House on Unishcoto

Weep for the one so strong to die
Whom war has taken at last!

Moron or his wife that sings no more
And the ruins on Unishcoto.

This was he who had a flaming heart
And heroic breath,
Whose weapons are laid, and hung
In the House of Unishcoto.

It was he who grew mighty in war,
But her war was otherwise:

Thus, weep for one so strong in war
Whose war is now, of the night!

#1451 9-7-2006: note, Unishcoto is a ruin on to of one of the mountains in the Mantaro Valley of Peru.

2)Stone Oven

Behind the stone ovenshe sat
One bronze woman, half-grieving
Her face shinning with heat
And rolling dark eyes; by her
Feet one dog and four puppies,
Scratching and bumping
As they atetheir meal
Fire reflected: flashes of teeth;
Curiosity had vanished.

#1453 (9-8-2006)

3) Stone Window

Outside her stone window
In the sky no stars showed;
T he earth was a deflated swell;
The sky was sagging its dark shape;
The trees beyond, like chilled ghosts;
And the moon shown a cold
Corpse-like light, thus, a gray
Chill seeped through and upon the stones.

Trickling like water all around her,
Halting at her breasts, her unimpeded
Bones: her breath, flesh was without
Sensation. How long must I grieve?
She pleaded in her gray like silence.
Then the gray above her head
Began to dissolve.

Two Poems on the Traditions of Peru in English and Spanish

Atahualpas Game
[Peruvian

Sometimes, its not wise
To share your wisdom
---as did, Atahualpa
(The Inca King) in the
Game of chess; thereafter,
He was condemned to death.

6/6/05 #713

Note: Atahualpa, was the most famous of the Inca Kings, in the 16th century of Peru, I do relieve, and was held for ransom by the Spaniards. And legend has it, because of a chess game, he was killed, while Catalina Wanka was on her way bringing Gold for his freedom, of which she stopped abruptly, and hid, once finding out, the king was murdered by the Spaniards.

El Juego de Atahualpa

A veces, no es sabio
Compartir su sabidura
---como hizo, Atahualpa
( El Rey inca) en el
Juego de ajedrez; a partir de entonces,
l fue condenado a muerte.

6/6/05 *713

21.

Ica, Witches
[Peruvian

Do not go to Ica, dear friend
There you may find witches
In toast and bread

Perhaps lose your head,
Perhaps find them in bed
Perhaps, find yourself dead.

6/6/05 #714 [Ica, is in Northern Peru

Note: there are stories, that even my wife agrees with, that she has heard that witches haunt this area of Peru; a city in the South part of Peru.

brujas de Ica

No vaya a Ica, querido amigo
All usted puede encontrar brujas-
En tostada y pan
Quizs pierda su cabeza,
Quizs los encuentre en la cama
Quizs, se encuentre muerto.

Negrito Little Negrito (In English and Spanish)

Negrito, and his son, little Negrito (and often with his wife) walk the streets, collect trash; not sure what they do with it: bike-wheel attached to a cart behind its back, up and down the streets of Miraflores they walk, sound a horn, let folks know theyre coming, put trash scraps in their cartmove on.

He is a simple man I see, plain, small, three children I have learned, a wife that cares. He, like me came out of a mother naked, and both of us will be naked when we return: the main difference, my mother was born in America, I suppose. Other than that, I dont know.

All around him are brown people, he is black I am white. I hired him today, in the middle of the heat, he and his children to clean, to clean up the garbage behind our home. Gave him water and a coke, a hat for his child, a towel, and twenty-soles. He said he didnt need it, the towel, he was black already: looking at his dirt covered hands.

He will come back Monday, this prideful man, a man o f God, to sweat some more, to make a few more dollars: cut the branches off our tree, it is almost hanging over our doorframe. There is no black silo inside of him; he is pure man, with a shadow, lean, like so many in Peru, just trying to make a living.

#1282 3/18/06 Prose Poetry. Negrito, of Miraflores, so he is known, his real name is Mark, not sure if he knows he is called Negrito, but no one seems to hide the nick name, yet, he is called Mark to his face. He seems pleasant enough, and being black is not a bourdon to him, like it seems to be to so many in the United States; he seems to go along with Gods calling, and does not give off that ore of: intolerance, as so many blacks in America do today. And so I thought this little sketch of a man I met once and will meet again, would be of interest to my readers.

Spanish Version
Translated by: by Rosa Pealoza de Siluk

Negrito, Pequeo Negrito
(San Juan de Miraflores; Lima, Peru)

Negrito, y su hijo, pequeo Negrito (y a veces con su esposa) caminan las calles, recogen basura; no estoy seguro que hacen con esto: carruaje atado detrs de este con una bicicleta con ruedas, arriba y debajo de las calles de Miraflores ellos andan, sonido de una bocina, hacen saber a la gente que ellos estn viniendo, poner restos de basura en su carruajecontinuar yendo.

El es un hombre simple yo veo, plano, pequeo, tres hijos me entere, una esposa que se preocupa. El, como yo vino desnudo de una madre, y ambos estaremos desnudos cuando volvamos: la mayor diferencia, mi madre naci en Amrica, me imagino. Otra cosa aparte de esta, no lo se.

Todos alrededor de el son personas bronceadas, el es Negro y yo soy blanco. Lo contrate hoy da, en el medio del calor, a el y su hijo para limpiar, para limpiar la basura det rs de nuestra casa. Le di a el agua y Coca Cola, un sombrero para su hijo, una toalla, y veinte-soles. El dijo que el no necesitaba esto, la toalla, dijo que ya era negro: mirando a sus manos cubiertas con suciedad.

El volver el lunes, este orgulloso hombre, un hombre de Dios, para sudar algo ms, ganar unos cuantos dlares ms: cortar las ramas de nuestro rbol, que esta casi colgndose encima del marco de nuestra puerta. No hay rasgos de negro dentro de el; el es un hombre puro, con una sombra, delgado, como muchos en Per, solo tratando de ganarse la vida.

#1282 18/Marzo/2006 Poema en Prosa. Negrito, de Miraflores, as el es conocido, su nombre verdadero es Marco, no estoy seguro si el sabe que lo llaman Negrito, nadie parece ocultar este apodo, sin embargo, el es llamado Marco en su cara. El parece suficientemente agradable, y ser negro no es un problema para el, como parece ser para muchos en los Estados Unidos; el parece que va de acuerdo con los llamados de D ios, y no da muestras de: intolerancia, como muchos de los negros en Amrica lo hacen hoy. Y por eso pens que este sketch pequeo de un hombre que conoc una vez y lo volver a ver de nuevo, seria interesante para mis lectores.

Pigeons at La Favorita Cafe (A Poem)

Faintly, a scene of effects unfolds, awakens the eyes

And is soon forgotten, as it dies: the pigeons prance

Around parked cars, by the Caf Favoritas tables

in Lima, Peru!

Then they take off in flight, some remain, and prance under cars,

Out of sight: as they move in and out (the caf is boarding

the street in Miraflores).

They prance, prance: pecking at crumbs on the ground,

Slowly winged, unhastening (as zooming cars pass by).

I watch these pigeons melt into the scene

nobody really notices them, but me!

#1307 Written at the La Favorita Caf, in Lima, Peru 4/8/06, while I was having coffee during the evening outside, with several tables full of Peruvians talking, drinking, eating; a TV in the Caf going on, sports, news, etc. A mellow evening, and the I got focused on the pigeons for some reason. Perhaps something no one really notices, or if they do, it is almost su bconsciously. And so I noticed life buzzing around me, the cars, at the tables of the caf, the pigeons, it all makes for a complete package to a closing evening. The cool breeze, for it is fall in Lima now and the ocean is but a half mile away, the winds from the ocean seep up the streets, and impose their presence upon everyone. Sometimes I wonder why people eat or drink coffee inside cafes if they can go outside, it is perhaps one of the pleasures I have living here in Peru; after living in Minnesota most all my life, and having to eat inside seven months out of the year, it is a treat to breath in real air, instead of shifted air from the facility.

The Dream Date

The first day i met you Your smile hit me like a whirlwind And left me breathless Your eyes were wet with passionate compassion Full of love, care and concern I was transfixed and enchanted by it Never had i seen so much tenderness When you spoke, the words came tumbling Out of slightly parted lips; The words were sonorous, like a musical note Or an orchestrated tone I took in your pulchritude and well endowed body Slowly making sure i did not miss the smallest detail Of God's wonderful creation

That did the magic I was thrown into a fantasy A dream of having you close; Of staring into your eyes and Tracing your lips with my finger Of whispering sweet words into your ears Telling you how much i need you The feeling grew intense with each passing day Until The fantasy became a nightmare A wonderful nightmare that lives with me Went everywhere with me and Refused to go away no matter how hard i tried

As i write I do so because i cannot Keep the feeling to myself alone I need to share it with you And with everyone who cares to listen Maybe this will help make my fantasy A reality A reality capped with beautiful scenes of love Your image will always haunt me Just like your charm has weakened my will-power And made me a prisoner of circumstance My shackles would only be broken if you become mine Because you will forever live in my heart of hearts

I am a Nigerian and an avid reader who also take great pleasure in putting pen to paper. I believe that with the right expression of words written with my pen people could change for the better and correct or curb some ills eating deep into our system of government or life in general. Poverty and corruption have always being Africa's most dreaded diseases and Nigeria is no exception. I write fiction and non-fiction and also write Articles on any subject, especially that concerning the well-being of the poor masses. I wish to be an acclaimed writer and author and a motivatio nal speaker.

Nature Poems and Haiku a Perfect Match

Ah Poetry and Nature. Two things that naturally go togther. But if you're looking for Nature Poems that really get it so to speak, you should look into Haiku. Why? Because Haiku is especially suited for describing Nature. For example, take a look at these two Nature Poems by the author:

Nature Poem #1

egrets move
through the marsh...
morning clouds

Here we have egrets as our subject. A beautiful bird that most people either have seen in a picture or are familiar with. In just 7 words a picture is created. And not just any picture but a complete scene! First we have the phase egrets move through the marsh. Nothing sp ecial in itself. But, when we combine this with the fragment morning clouds, we get a picture of place and time - a sense of something happening.

What economy and word pruning this is! Nature Poems by western writers may contain thousands of words but for sheer size and power, nothing beats the Haiku! Here's another example of a Nature poem:

Nature Poem #2

winter shoreline --
sandpipers dart
into the water

In this Nature poem we have the fragment first instead of the phrase. The fragment is like the background of a paintingit sets the mood of the poem. The words winter shoreline conjure an image of a quiet beach perhaps. Or it could be something else entirely. This is the beauty of Haiku. It doesn't tell you so much as show you what is happening. Interpretation is left to the reader's imagination. The phrase that follows - sandpipers dart into the water complete the picture. It's like background and foreground in a painting. Only here we are using words to color with!

Nature Poems and Haiku are a natural fit and have been for hundreds of years!
