Poet Introduction
soul food
Heartbreak Divine
The bravest of all
Are the broken hearted
Those who fell
Those who parted
with
A broken heart
Unfulfilled desires
Broken into pieces and parts
Flames from the fires
unquenched
A broken heart
But no regrets
Is a brave start
To a life set
for
The delicious pain
Of a broken heart
Reminds us that the game
Is part love and part
heartbreak
Are the broken hearted
Those who fell
Those who parted
with
A broken heart
Unfulfilled desires
Broken into pieces and parts
Flames from the fires
unquenched
A broken heart
But no regrets
Is a brave start
To a life set
for
The delicious pain
Of a broken heart
Reminds us that the game
Is part love and part
heartbreak

I will know
When I am free I will know
That my shadow should not frighten me
Thunder will not strike me when I know
That I am free
Freedom from anxiety and fear
Boom boom boom in my chest
Because everyone is safe that I hold dear
I do not always need to try my best
To control the situation
My brain exploding in my head
Control is an illusion
There are no other words to be said
A half-repentant sinner who often did wrong
Yet God’s grace for someone such as me
My life a pitiful sorrow song
I want to be free
That my shadow should not frighten me
Thunder will not strike me when I know
That I am free
Freedom from anxiety and fear
Boom boom boom in my chest
Because everyone is safe that I hold dear
I do not always need to try my best
To control the situation
My brain exploding in my head
Control is an illusion
There are no other words to be said
A half-repentant sinner who often did wrong
Yet God’s grace for someone such as me
My life a pitiful sorrow song
I want to be free

Is this all there is (Poco de Todo)
Poco de todo
Means a little of everything
To bring together the sum total
Krishna, Ganesh, Jesus, a king
Is the universe not but a tormented struggle
Or can fleeting moments of bliss
Eradicate the benign human trouble
With bits and pieces of starbursts
When I pray, is it a reflection
Of my love for the omnipotent
Or simply a sign of my self-affection
Allowing me to remain sated and content
With self delusion of love for Spirit
And the question remains
Is this all there is
To be bound by mortal chains
Means a little of everything
To bring together the sum total
Krishna, Ganesh, Jesus, a king
Is the universe not but a tormented struggle
Or can fleeting moments of bliss
Eradicate the benign human trouble
With bits and pieces of starbursts
When I pray, is it a reflection
Of my love for the omnipotent
Or simply a sign of my self-affection
Allowing me to remain sated and content
With self delusion of love for Spirit
And the question remains
Is this all there is
To be bound by mortal chains

A Wedding Prayer
Twinkling blue eyes
Destiny
Bodies of light
Dream of my dreams.
Join me this night
In glorious starlight
Let us travel as one
Forever.
Immense universe
Bodies of light
Empty indigo skies
Record our hopes and dreams.
Wind carry sweet voices
Across the stratosphere
Bless us
Mother Father God.

La Venganza
La Venganza is oh-so-sweet
You will know it when you meet
Sometimes her eyes are blue as steel
Sometimes they are green
Don't wish for her to come to you
This desire you will regret
For on that day your wish comes true
Your worst fears will be met
With a fury like no other
A scorn from which you will not recover
Tread lightly when playing with this flame
La Venganza knows your name
You will know it when you meet
Sometimes her eyes are blue as steel
Sometimes they are green
Don't wish for her to come to you
This desire you will regret
For on that day your wish comes true
Your worst fears will be met
With a fury like no other
A scorn from which you will not recover
Tread lightly when playing with this flame
La Venganza knows your name

Latin Lover
You will know that you were loved
By a latin lover when you no longer are
Because you will long for their touch
Intense gaze, boundless passion and fire
Your nights will be filled with dreams
Longing for what you will never have again
Remembrances of bodies moving in time
Countless nights of angelic blessings and delightful sin
When your latin lover kisses you goodbye
Bid farewell to the flame
That will follow you to your grave
To the longing that you will forever crave
Adios amor

When your latin lover kisses you goodbye
Bid farewell to the flame
That will follow you to your grave
To the longing that you will forever crave
Adios amor

I loved you before we met
Yet you took me by surprise
The first time I held you
And gazed into Morgan eyes
Blue the same as mine
Yet so very non-identical
Just like you my daughter
You are one of a kind - authentical
Quirky, clever, kind
Proud to call you mine
Yet so much more than I
My gift to you is your bloodline
You come from a line of women
Courageous, tenacious and wild
As far back as I can remember
These women all had blue eyes
You are blessed with a Warrior Spirit girl
The gift...
Yet you took me by surprise

Gloria
Today we talked on the phone
It has been such a long time
Mama you said you were sorry
I want to let you know
You never you have to say sorry
I am a mother now too
I understand what it feels like
To know you made mistakes
For all of the grief and unforgiveness and sorrow
I have caused you in your life
I humbly ask please forgive me
As I surely do you
It has been such a long time
Mama you said you were sorry
I want to let you know
You never you have to say sorry
I am a mother now too
I understand what it feels like
To know you made mistakes
For all of the grief and unforgiveness and sorrow
I have caused you in your life
I humbly ask please forgive me
As I surely do you

Monterey Jazz Festival 61

Jazz in Monterey
What can I say?
The notes float to heaven
A stairway away
The full moon shone
Our minds excessively blown
The notes float to heaven
Where the angels moan
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba boom ba boom ba boom
The notes float to heaven
She will hear them soon
And God must weep
Tears of joy -- and keep
The notes that float to heaven
As she drifts gently to sleep
