Carlos Rodriguez Poems
In the grand banquet of poets
You'll find echoes from the soul
There up on pages
Of written scenes untold
...
Naked we come & naked we go
Touch my soul, like a soft wings butterfly
Close me in and feel my heart
Wet &oily skin, no place to hide
...
And so the juggernauts roared
As the firebirds soared
And the soldiers howled
While corrupt politicians pleased the crowd
...
The nakedness of your body
Warms my soul and sends
My heart on a spinning cycle
Of fury and turmoil.
...
Hollow cave in the cold realm of morning
Shallow grave pearched in boredom, rabid foaming
The moon is a harsh mistress
Waiting patiently to devour her prey
...
Dark eyes of velvet stone
Wild angel dancing all alone
Lips like blood red wine
She's looking more than fine
...
Fed and protected in her womb, I slept
I moved within color and music, as inside
A sea of precious turquoise
There were no currents of thought
...
From the cracks I pulled myself out
The air was not like any I have breathed
Lost in the beauty of excellence
The gasping reality that shadows me
...
An angel runs
thru the sudden light
a ghost precedes us
a shadow follows us
...
She rests
Among the willows
Tepid in her memories
Yet ever vibrant with possibility
...
A child goes screaming into the night
like a bird whose wings have been clipped
and can't no longer take flight.
Hot dead prison in the sleepless night
...
I see the sunrise in your smile
As your perpetual being
Moves with grace and style
Confine to this wall of solitude
...
A will to power
In the strange hour
Death creeps on by
Like a sailor adoring
...
Restless anger
Fearful night
Come to my morning
With the sun's first rays of light
...
Beautiful sadness
Infininte melancholy
You are the memory
I will come back to
...
In quiet solitude I walk through fields of wisdom
Time & tide and out of season the hitchhiker stood by
The side of the road and raised his thumb as if planning
An act of treason.
...
Our eyes bleed in darkness
Our whispers bring silence
Our shapes feed the shadows
Your touch turns to violence
...
Hopeless
The feeling that I will not subside
That's lingered since the night you died
I wish I could have helped you more
...

I am also interested in classic American literature and European.)
The Best Poem Of Carlos Rodriguez
The Poets Banquet
In the grand banquet of poets
You'll find echoes from the soul
There up on pages
Of written scenes untold
You won't see the teardrop
That's fallen from their eye
And you won't hear the sound
Of sadness when they cry
But you will feel their passion
That's hidden in each word
And you will capture beauty
In meaning that's unheard
And so like an eagle takes to the skies
The poets make their flight
Deep within the darkness
To find the hidden light.
