Jaime Montanez Salcedo Poems

Love, within its mysterious fancy,
Desiring the warmness of many a heart,
It flatters with endearing fantasy,
In where to muse the ecstasy of its art,
...

O love, that inspires the soul to reverie
Of vision with pale, rosy complexion,
Carmine glossy lips with love impish glee,
Narrating their passionate intention
...

By the light of melancholy candle,
The intrusive thoughts of pensive I, unbind
As inclement sorrows did I handle,
Which painfully lingered in my mind.
...

All began like an imperishable dream,
With the glory of youthful, tender beauty,
Blooming tantalizing passion, it would seem,
Source of voluptuous sensuality.
...

This sober thought for lofty quality,
Pure in the spirit its virtuous clarity
Entitles the mind for recognition
Bringing enjoyment of sterling revelation.
...

Flurries of birds the horizon pierce,
Etching in black on setting crimson fierce,
And in the serenity of the dale
Is heard the serenading nightingale,
...

I never saw before unburied treasure,
But what I have seen will obscure such glow
The love-bond of a homeless and sparrow,
In abandon sharing congruous pleasure.
...

Behold her! More lovely than a flower,
Her image circled with a living light,
Endeared is her bosom with love's power,
And her willowy graces are to heart's delight.
...

A well of joy, in many various ways
It pleases the thought to its fill of knowledges,
Whether as parchment scrolls, or bound essays,
Spawning hopes to a richest life it pledges.
...

What am I? Scream I to the skies.
Fugacious vision in someone's eyes,
Or vagrant thought free within time
Idly roaming like the bells' chime?
...
