Chicano Love Poems

Chicano Poems of Love Hate




Ripe
By Ariel Robello

sing her a song
a merengue line
a slip on glove
made of lace not plastic

marry her to the fence on Alameda and Manchester
where she stands under parasol of circus colors
cutting symmetrical wedges
coconut cucumber mango mamey

fingers red with chilé
lips a cracked slice of watermelon
tight from salt sticks dipped and sucked on
a desert survival trick

she reads the liscense plates of each passing car
writes them down in a code no MIT prodigy could break
it is the language of ancestors
glyphs used to transfer an entire civilization to an unknown plane

the clean-up of precious fruit takes ten light changes
two pairs passing in each direction
a steady gutter growl of Broncos and Mactrucks
exhaust of two-ton machinery clinging to her shoulders neck and back

in La Ceiba she would make plans for Fridays
be dressed for Club Luna Llena by ten
a DJ and a tent wide enough to set sail for a warless country
her worries dampened with the ardor of good times

today she is too tired to plan such freedoms
the Bandamobile passes Umpa! Umpa! Umpapá!
a reckless toucan blaring
memories of her life before red lights.


Being Chicano
Chicano poem

Being Chicano/a is an easy thing.
Maybe for other Chicanos it is
But for me it's not.
Everyday of my life I getTreated like I'm so wet back,
Well what if I am?
These puto/as don't know me
Chicanos killing chicanos is what they want.
Being chicano/a is not killing your own raza.
Is defending la raza.
I'm different from other Chicano/as
I'm not in a gang, but I do know how to defend myself
I'm a chicana and I will die as a chicana.
C.4.L. = Chicano/a for Life!
If you don't know what chicano is
It's being Mexican/American


Peaceful Days
Chicano love poems By Arturo Unzueta

Close your eyes drift into the silent day.
Listen to the distant rain soothe your soul.

Kiss the vanilla sky. Touch the heavens.
Dance beautifully in the palm of my hand.

Soak your heart in the pond of lasting love,
Wish upon the stars that this will never end.
