Themes of social and political concern, loyalty, friendship and family, African identity, women's experiences, and hope for Cuba's future all found their way into her poems through bold metaphor and tender lyricism. Without intending to, she has revitalized contemporary Caribbean feminist literary discourse. One can find in her work the tensions between colonizer and colonized, dominator and dominated, and at the same time enjoy the sheer beauty of images depicting suffering, strength, and hope.

Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica. Selected Poems of Nicolas Guillen. Their Eyes Were Watching God. We are naturally green. Let's go green and against each other's grain. Let's heal the word with the green thumb of love and only exit when we are happy this world we live in. Let every instant be a petit mort. The eye constantly orgasms like the land incessantly quakes.
Feel my love for living. Never, ever stop believing. If the building blocks of life were Lego, I'd live on the Copenhagen Waterfront were I would take walks as long as the summer sun, trying to piece the puzzle of my life back together. Each ray of warm hope soothing my soul with the serenity of knowing there is a home for us all. Sometimes you must travel the world to find your place, which is inside of each of us; however, the first step should be us because the wisdom of the last leads us there.
We become the water to be drunk by future generations. Are eyes, intoxicated with the lust of wanting to live it up for all its worth should remember our body is just a hotel room we rent for a night. If we where to think the same life would be boring, no topics to have different opinions on. No curiosity towards opinions, not belonnging to ours. Hugs and kisses dearest Julie. With Great emotion I leave this coment in http: I am a radiance bird A flower tree with veins to be all set… I come from the star I was looking for a human: Woman, men, man, woman… Do you know where are they?
I am a track footprint From mankind And you? Why did you change your face? Because I like to cover and to keep The light from your star. Everything changes in her head Thoughts, images, words, colours… The hat covers the wind The wind sings inside the hat Her face transforms illusions Her glance calms the time Her lips are closed and quiet It is the moment of wearing secrets As is the secret of the bird Inside de tree… The nest is the cradle of thoughts The woman watch the world, The space, the stars, the flowers And flies the ideas Saved in the classic stylus hat The woman dreams and loves With her pleasant identity.
Mirrors, bubblers, peace Tonight there are no stars Only a human moon Going around in my dreams And you are in the centre Painting lights from my heart Tears, smiles, the grass is wet Against our bare feet And it is not even raining Our hands express the movement We are playing with the sunrise We are changing the world We create a carefree circle Love exists! Flower is a word that Nature does not say. A silent man writes of flowers in the thoughts of his hidden intimacy.
Only de wind knows the secrets of a burgeoning world. Only the wind is losing blossoms on a journey of silence. Only the wind knows the seeds that one day will break the fear, of each man So he may find his own flower. Because I awake everyday And I am a daughter of time I feel the light growing Like a white tongue Speaking to my senses.
I feel the quiet beat of the tree Between the savage hands of the earth Giving its force and tenderness. I feel the beating sun in my eyes, And love in the endless lips Of a happiness interminable and fragile.
Because I awake everyday I am going slowly Behind the steps of the sun Toward the west. The tongue is the mill Where the truth is broken. From the border of the printed word To the farther extremes of the voice The darkening idea flows into the flower From the margin of the echo To the fleeing fantasy The crystal that transmits The light of thought Is broken off Until the final moment In which a tear bursts Into the thirsty hollow of the lyre Where the agony ca be seen Deeply rolling toward the sound That covers the wounds Where the screams of men are drowned.
A prelude of voices is lost everyday. There are words that blossom And rise aloft and grow. They are lost, they fly, They are like dust in the arms Of the sun, an invisible veil, The union of a prodigious essence.
How many millions of flocks Of words fall into the vacuum, Or are transported to the blue! They are like incense Reassuming the mass And expressing the song of humanity. But how many words, mute, Stay with the foresight Of our feelings. Music that nobody hears, That nobody prays, That remains a prisionr In the arcanum of the heart. The clown is not a man Is he a ghost? I more, is almost your own self With a painted face! Is a geture crossing space As a guardian reinbow? Is more than bright colours. Yes, and you laugh and laugh Happy… And after? Well, only the Polar Bear -we saw at the zoo- Returned the earthly balloon To your hands.
And where is the clown? We make the Paradise! The way is inside And over the cave The snail sleep Under the road Truth retain. Green, brown, almost blue Your river flow And detaint my ayes In the profound grave Extreme, intense, bright, graceful, Clean water of feelings writing poems And nothing is intentional There are only colors surrounding us A sensitive compound coming from earth From sea, from sky, from rivers The pleasing ecstasy Is to be at the bottom To letting go forward by draughts Until I meet you there At the sea!
Words, words, words… Made of blood and blue A dragonfly, seahorses, Angles, bubles, Gems, drops, embraces… Earth, space, words! Playing, flying, flutter Running the red skay Of feelings. She never will be free Her veil is made of clouds and knots She is a bride waiting alone The power is made from creation The ornament force the order Only the sea can help her To be herself naked!
Arid painting of sand The colourful mud The pebbles from the Alpes Dunes, lagoons, rivers: Danuvio, Drave… Something is missing Balaton lake as a little sea Smiles! And its big sweet heart Is beating absences. Mirrows, bubles, peace… It is raining over ours heads And you are in the center Painting lights from my heart Tears, smiles, the grass is wet The table ready Our hands express the movement We har playing with sunrise The wine is old We change the world Our carefreee intimate life! Stepping, she uses her feet to connect the distance In between The distance from here to there The space between us Between you Between me She steps hesintantly But makes it a big step Does she complete the leap A leap of faith A leap of gesture What will make it complete?
Who is to say what completion is?

The kisses of Love? Words are golden As the eyes of the cat in the dark night In front of my flash light Surprised it when was watching the moon. My tongue is quiet testing the brevity Of experience There are not monosyllables Only a noisy sight in the deepest music Of my free verse Words are also red inside my body As the fire in the mirror As a fan turning the air yellow As a wed sex before lightning As a rape pomegranate full of sweet blood Or gorgeous gems incrusted the pleasure of my Tongue Because I know, you are in my tongue When I named you But also, when my saliva perfumed your kisses Sex between the harvests white fields Black, red, yellow, black hole In the labyrinth centre of my life As a silence tongue shadow Expressing music!
I am hearing your heart, your arms… Muving the space in your walking Your legs, your feet, your body In harmony with the deepest notes In the way to the stars It is your strong decision who interpret the B flat Probably you ignore how musical you are Your paths walk is an earthly sound wave Crossing black holes I see you going surrounded by prodigious trees By the a lighting hummed sex You are including in this cosmic performance Where the typical piano is almost broken Your hot decisive walk impresses me Trillions of stars flows making forms your image Cavities, fingers, branches, divine caves Extending your movement away From your central blue and black-pink Aptitude!
There are not streets I am thinking about you and I grow As a woman In my way is not resentful is not past Is not future Only I feel the red clods-earthly-grass at the moment Sometimes it is an even layer of snow And I grow because the sky is bright As your colours And I open my arms to the puzzling fable Of your ayes. What makes me think about equivocal? The chaos is magic The blade the leaf reflects existence And you are here Touching my soul What else you want to know? The clay is in the bottom of the river.
J and Wise — my dog. Who said are all we alone? This is not so. At least I am not alone Because I can dance, turn, gyrate, excite, seduce, suggest And open my arms, my legs, and my love And dance, dance, dance. No, never alone I dance and rejoice with myselff I listen to te music within me And it is the stars tha really invites me To dance!
I can be my shadow in the darkness Or it can be be the chape of my foot Also the stopping place where I get down Or my be it is the invisible door beyond the stars Hardly can be the unsymmetrical floor Where I keep my spiritual force And I am vigilant, armad, attentive… You painted and I feel the splendour of the inaccessible!
I am a radiance bird I come from the star I was looking for a human: Woman, men, man, women… I am a human You? Yes Why did you change your face? Cloudy and blue sea Illusions Your fantasy and my truth Are revealing meanings Of existence You are making a river Deep inside my sea Endless of colors: Blue Pink… Always returned waves To woman fields and beaches The crown, the flowers The important points… the cross The numbers Sapphires, jewels: My treasure This feminine sense of water!

My body is bent, crooked, inclined… My heart exploited I can almost walk again My hair is awful, slovenliness… The air knows why My legs dismish I can not speed my dried step My arms without strength Where has my energy gone to? Of my everyday little things I do? Where is the force to propel me forward? The potency of my body, my soul, myself To be in peace And now I need somebody to push me Still I go on foot I know we have a place in common without bombas!
