Will I Forget You?
I’m sure my grandmother could tell you
better than I can
about what love is
to take care of someone that can no longer can say thank you
to hold onto memories of kisses
that can’t be returned
to trade romantic dinners for feeding tubes
and shower sex for sponge baths
while water floods her cheeks
They never imaged together forever turning into one praying the other die peacefully in their sleep.
In a place where nurses often are mistaken for someone’s daughter
where a child gets a “who are...

The Earth is Trembling!
Today we must plant the seed
fallen from Adam’s forbidden fruit,
return the garden; put our brimstone down
Beg our trembling Earth 🌎
to fear not fire 🔥
nor missiles brighter than suns
in the night sky
Are there any shooting stars left?
We’ve washed our hands in melting ice
drank water until transformed
into lead lemonade and mud mojitos;
we are drunk off denial
thinking recycling one bottle is enough.
I’m praying for a cloud where people thirst.
I’m praying for a patch of...

Heaven on Earth
Felt an angel kiss my shoulder
telling me, “It's not over”
God gave me Heaven right here!
Though I’ve walked through the valley
Today my heart sings and my soul dances
because my journey was a beautiful struggle to get where...
I found peace!!!
I’m the lotus flower
that grew from the murky water.
The faith that parted the sea
The woman who bled for 12 years till Jesus turned to heal me
I was the last grain of sand hanging on...
telling me, “It's not over”
God gave me Heaven right here!
Though I’ve walked through the valley
Today my heart sings and my soul dances
because my journey was a beautiful struggle to get where...
I found peace!!!
I’m the lotus flower
that grew from the murky water.
The faith that parted the sea
The woman who bled for 12 years till Jesus turned to heal me
I was the last grain of sand hanging on...

Falling into the Wind
There are stolen breaths
hidden in adjoining palms,
a wind of 3 words
After a silent storm
whistling into song
the air travels differently today
A whisk from a batted lash
A gust of synchronized smiles
the gale force of a beating heart
it’s no wonder you’ve fallen

I Kiss her in Trinity
Somehow,
I heard her prayers when she kissed me
On a Sunday...
I’d rest her in my arms,
learn the count of every hair on her head
like God does
Build an arc before the rain comes
Gather prisms to ensure rainbows🌈
Hold a red amethyst stone in my pocket for any Goliaths
Plant the seed that fell from Adam‘s fruit
to watch us grow with it
I’d listen to the Amazon
like it’s the burning bush for my sacrifice
anything to preserve love
I Kiss her in Trinity: forehead,...

She deserves
The one that called the weed a flower
the children Kings, Queens & future President
the homeless sir and ma’am.
She was the one
to breath bounty on a good day
smile during tribulation
to embrace life lessons.
She was the one holding the door
who wrote the letter instead of the text
who’d pray for what ever you desired
if you lost faith.

Home Grown Terrorist- Texas...Ohio
Terrorists,
I guess no one ever showed you how to feel
with your eyes closed
that there are beauties that exist
in the world beyond skin
that a white hood does not make you pure
that a gun will not grant you glorification
we remember...
that her final breaths
were an innocent soul’s forgiving prayers
in Trump’s pestilence
that a mother’s cries can penetrate prejudice
that a foreign tongue can be transcending
in the Texas tumult of trampling and tyrants
in the sibling slaughter and sacrifice
Ohio... ...

Blinded
She shines so much light
to exorcise her demons
her smile
darkness masked by glare.

The New Puerto Rico
Maria,
There is a new wind that blows in Puerto Rico
Flags fly on Borinqueñ breath
Mi gente, canta!
Chants channel a rain dance of democracy,
demonstrate dignity,
deliver a name our children can be proud of.
Rosselló, no more!
It’s not enough to know our heritage
Trump we built a wall to combat sacrilege
out of light skin and dark skin
out of the power of women
Out of gay men and straight men
and humans
that share the same goals.
in memory of the thousands of Tiano souls.

Her Haiku
Naked in my peace.
Her "I love yous" as my sheets.
Why do I shiver?

Rising
It is her smile that lifts a curious sun
from the mountains.
An eclipse is but the moon winking in passing.
from the mountains.
An eclipse is but the moon winking in passing.
