Review of Arturo Islas biography

Hello folks, my review of Dances with Ghosts by Fredrick Luis Aldama, the biography of Arturo Islas. Go to The Newspaper Tree.

HONORING TRINIDAD SANCHEZ, JR.

CINCO DE MARZO

La luna

sol de la noche

llena y sonriendo

siento las caricias

los besos de tu boca.

Hoy noche de poesía

cantame los versos

querio tanto

la primavera de tu alma

la frescura de tus ojos.

La luna

tantos cantos

tantos poesías.

Sigues escondiendote

por la mañana

desapareciendo

devolviendo cada noche

más y más desfrazado.

La Luna

llena y sonriendo

quiero desnudarme

y llenarme con aquel amor

tan sabrosa

de esta noche.


THE FIFTH OF MARCH

The moon

sun of the night

full and smiling

I feel your caresses

the kisses of your mouth.

This night of poetry

sing me the verses

I long for

the Springtime of your soul

the freshness of your eyes.

The moon

full of song

full of poetry.

You keep hiding

in the morning

disappearing

returning each night

more and more naked.

The moon

full and smiling

I want to undress

and fill myself with the

delicious love

of this night.
