read by Julia & Andy

And now you’re mine (Love Sonnet LXXXI)

Now, you are mine. Rest with your dream inside my dream.
Love, pain, and work, must sleep now.
Night revolves on invisible wheels
and joined to me you are pure as sleeping amber.

No one else will sleep with my dream, love.
You will go; we will go joined by the waters of time.
No other one will travel the shadows with me,
only you, ever green, ever sun, ever moon.

Already your hands have opened their delicate fists
and let fall, without direction, their gentle signs,
your eyes enclosing themselves like two grey wings,
while I follow the waters you bring that take me onwards:
night, Earth, winds weave their fate, and already,
not only am I not without you, I alone am your dream.

i love all of the tracks in the CD but my favorite was Ode to the Sea read by Ralph Fiennes.
he was soooo good!



Ode to the Sea
Pablo Neruda

HERE
Surrounding the island
There's sea.
But what sea?
It's always overflowing.
Says yes,
Then no,
Then no again,
And no,
Says yes
In blue
In sea spray
Raging,
Says no
And no again.
It can't be still.
It stammers
My name is sea.

It slaps the rocks
And when they aren't convinced,
Strokes them
And soaks them
And smothers them with kisses.
With seven green tongues
Of seven green dogs
Or seven green tigers
Or seven green seas,
Beating its chest,
Stammering its name,


Oh Sea,
This is your name.
Oh comrade ocean,
Don't waste time
Or water
Getting so upset
Help us instead.
We are meager fishermen,
Men from the shore
Who are hungry and cold
And you're our foe.
Don't beat so hard,
Don't shout so loud,
Open your green coffers,
Place gifts of silver in our hands.
Give us this day
our daily fish.

There is a pretty girl
on the
Face
of the magazine
And
all I see
is my dirty
hands
turning the page

Little breasts attached to
skinny ribs and hungry bellies
determined legs
persuasive swing
careful hands
she stands
a greater threat to herself
than the cigarette
she consumes

-Jewel Kilcher

P.S
I wrote you those nice
poems only because
the honest ones
would frighten you

Be Kind

we are always asked
to understand the other person's
viewpoint
no matter how
out-dated
foolish or
obnoxious.

one is asked
to view
their total error
their life-waste
with
kindliness,
especially if they are
aged.

but age is the total of
our doing.
they have aged
badly
because they have
lived
out of focus,
they have refused to
see.

not their fault?

whose fault?
mine?

I am asked to hide
my viewpoint
from them
for fear of their
fear.

age is no crime

but the shame
of a deliberately
wasted
life

among so many
deliberately
wasted
lives

is.

Charles Bukowski

[bokapitan16]

napapikit ang utak
ng sandaling maisip ko ang ikaw na pagmamahal
at ng marahan ko itong imulat
upang patagin ang nakausling pitak ng lupa sa daan
naisip ko kung gaanong nagdusa ang aking katauhan
dulot ng sugat ng nakaraang pagtatangi
at kung paanong hanggang sa sandaling ito
humihiyaw ng paglaban ang maliit na puwang sa puso
habang ang malaking bahagi ng liwanag na doon nananahan
sinisikap tupukin ang dilim at kalungkutan
bunga ng di nagkahubog na pagmamahal

ngayon ikaw na nga ang aking kasalukuyan
at magiging matapat ako
hindi pa buong-buo sa katotohanan
sapagkat may nalalabi pang puwang ng damdaming ibig ng igpawan
subalit totoong ikaw na ang aking minamahal
at natuklasan ko ito marahil nito lang
sa panahong ang pakikibaka ng mamamayan
maingay at tumitining na naman
kung saan ang mga dahon ay mas matapang ang pagiging luntian
kung saan ang ambon at ulan ay naghalo upang basbasan
hindi lang ang bulaklak at mga talulot
kundi maging ang mga lupang tigang
at ng sa gayon patirin ang uhaw
uhaw na dulot ng pagmamahal sa paglaya
uhaw na nanunuot sa himaymay at ugat
hanggang sa ang sumibol ay mga usbong ng pagmamahal
usbong ng pag-asang may sisilayang mapulang lila na kalawakan
para sa iyo at iyong narito sa kasalukuyan

hindi ito madali
at hindi ginhawa ang aking kapiling
habang nagtutunggali ang ikaw na ngayon
at siyang nakaraan
pero sasabihin ko ngayon
nakahanda ako
na ipaglaban ito
kagaya ng pakikibakang ating tinotono
ipaglalaban ko ito
kapara ng rebolusyong
masalimuot man ay ating sinusulong


piping walang kamay
