Poems : Forward This Picture

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with caleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah, ah

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone.

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with caleidoscope eyes.

I'm so free i could lacerate
rip the robes right off my chest
i fly high above the muscovites' sky
i'm going to rip, rip, i'll never rest
i'm going to meet you at midnight
i'm not used to living alone
i have to learn how to live or i'll die
Margarita - love and destroy
I'm so free as i meet you
welcoming black, the queen of the ball
it's dark beneath the muscovites' sky
but you give; you give me it all
i'm here with you at midnight
i forget about living alone
as i learn how to live and to die
Margarita - love and destroy

Beloved,
In what other lives or lands
Have I known your lips
Your Hands
Your Laughter brave
Irreverent.
Those sweet excesses that
I do adore.
What surety is there
That we will meet again,
On other worlds some
Future time undated.
I defy my body's haste.
Without the promise
Of one more sweet encounter
I will not deign to die

-- Maya Angelou

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagínate

Imagina que no existe el Cielo
es fácil si lo intentas
sin el Infierno debajo nuestro
arriba nuestro, solo el cielo
Imagina a toda la gente
viviendo el hoy...
Imagina que no hay países
no es difícil de hacer
nadie por quien matar o morir
ni tampoco religión
imagina a toda la gente
viviendo la vida en paz...

Puedes decir que soy un soñador
pero no soy el único
espero que algún día te unas a nosotros
y el mundo vivirá como uno

Imagina que no hay posesiones
quisiera saber si puedes
sin necesidad de gula o hambre
una hermandad de hombres
imagínate a toda la gente
compartiendo el mundo

Puedes decir que soy un soñador
pero no soy el único
espero que algún día te unas a nosotros
y el mundo vivirá como uno

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
Jenny Joseph 1932
