Disclaimer

This blog ran for more than two years with no graphics--and it received about 50 page views. I was advised to add graphics; after seeing the huge public that followed blogs dedicated to homoerotic images, I decided to use that kind. The result was a dramatically increased number of monthly page views, and the number has remained fairly steady. Most of the images were found on the internet; although they are assumed to be in the public domain, they are identified as far as possible. They are exhibited under the Fair Use protections of United States copyright law: their function is simply to attract readers to the poems--I receive no economic benefit from them or from the blog. Nevertheless, they will be removed if they are copyrighted and the owner so desires. 1260 x 290

LA CABAÑA AZUL


                     
                   

                  In Memoriam Melissa Malindy Davis
                         Que su nombre no se olvide 



Lejos del cielo agitado,
de celajes y cambiantes,
dentro de un valle encerrado
entre colinas fragantes
de yasmín y madreselva,
está el lugar que yo añoro,
la cabaña azul.

                             Frente ella,
las aguas sueltas del arroyo
al pie del salto combado
trenzan perlas y brillantes
en sus rizos encrespados. 

Cruzo alegre el puentecito,
arco recio cimentado
en dos peños primitivos,
de la Creación sobrados. 

Frutas hay por todos lados:
Cada vez que allá visito,
naranjas y mangos tersos,
aguacates abultados
y racimos de guineos
tientan mi boca y mis manos. 

Para embelesarme más,
mientras subo hacia la puerta
de esta idílica cabaña,
gallardo el junco cimbrea
su tallo encaracolado. 

Pero lo que más me encanta
y mi corazón eleva
siempre a la cabaña azul,
es sentirme rodeado
de tu gran calor humano,
envuelto en el fuerte abrazo
con que me recibes tú,
que eres, más que amigo, hermano.
