Poet Introduction
los ojos no ven el pasado, pero van a revelarlo (the eyes don't see the past, but they will reveal it)
forever mine
(a valentine sonnet... of sorts...)
I never thought that I would feel like this
that I would find you here with me this day
with me on knees before your naked kiss
a promising of your forever stay
so giving wet as hands begin their task
and soft yet wetter still as slow they move
that you may finally see behind my mask
that I in every way my loving prove
I am dripping with you, your gentle rain
my lips find yours as you will find the hole
you in the muddy place of your unpain
me soaked in muddy rain filling mud bowl ...

open, that I may taste
head over heals
heading to the ground
stars becoming lovers
falling even circles
open unexpecting legs
sprawling out before
blood combining surges
feeling nightly throb
away laughing revels
dancing midnight shadows
you revealing only
completing only me
pure stilling wetness
relaxing final known
celestial loving calmly
granting soul-ly sweet
Serenely undisturbing
lightings homeward found
head over heals ...

you appear to me
(a gen-x sonnet)
I close my eyes and you appear to me
a pale rising moon in desert night
the autumn sun found kissing evening sea
that single flower blooming in last light
as empty arms will reach to pull you back
in empty rooms once filled with brilliant songs
and empty swimming words that filling lack
with empty heart where growing love belongs
but arms remain unfilled in dreaming bed
in deadly silence filling darkened rooms
and drowning words that stick in dreamer’s head
with love far gone to...

I just don't wanna be
( a gen-x sonnet)
I just don’t wanna be here any more
I’m tired of the days just dragging on
life spent just thinking how I’ll close the door
just every thought’s another minute gone
it’s all I have to make it through the day
so when the hell did I become his thing
who simply wants to get the fuck away
convinced that I’ve got nothing left to bring
I’ve got no po'ms or songs inside of me
it’s plain I’ve let this show run way too long
with every look there’s nothing left to see ...

playerz soliloquy
I do not understand, player?
let me try to explain… again…
it’s a smile or a nod
or the way they stand
just gotta… be aware…
of everything…
I can tell in half a minute
less than a sentence
if it’s yes!... or no…
if it’s stay… or… go
I just talk
looking at the response
touches her hair, her face
head down… eyes up…
by the second drink…
deal's already done…
just working out... the details…
90% is them... purely them
thinking I...

cats don't love
(a villanelle)
I am a cat in case you couldn’t tell
should not have chosen cat, if I had say
for cats don’t love, just love the way we smell
with feline skill and feline soul I dwell
tight in your lap to purr and lick all day
I am a cat in case you couldn’t tell
so you would stroke and rub my warmth as well
enticing me to never go astray
for cats don’t love, just love the way we smell
then when we’re close, as if in love we fell
just like my kind, I'll let you know my spray
I am a cat in case you...

ni un más día de los muertos
as you twist your fingers about the neck
of the black vihuela
sounding the chords of the cantata
of dispossessing love
as you begin the pale lamentations
of the wake of childhood’s shrouding
and wail again this world
of imagined specters appearing as real
as you bring forth this disconsolate music
I feel my fatal senses recoil
you sing of the graveyards
dug in the rooms of your parents’ house
of ungiven, stolen emblems
remade into their...

your fingers circle the neck of the black vihuela
sounding the chords of your parents’ graveyard
dug for you in the rooms of their house
they beckon you to lie down with them
to take up the chorus they sowed in you
you sing their dead to your fiesta of the unliving
your caressing stanzas fix with familiar claws
even as your open legs display their sacrificial dance
spilling in melodies of your despair, I have no existence
I cannot...

Gone
(From the 3 Scenario Comp. Scenario 2)
Pop
That’s it
It wasn’t loud
She grabbed her chest
Stumbled, took two steps forward
And then collapsed into my arms
I reached out, caught her
Pulled her to me
Then we fell
Settling, really
Together
Insane
The hole
So damn small
But so much blood
I tried to stop it
Tried my hands and my shirt
It just soaked through everything
Then she started coughing ...

Reveal
I wanted to reveal more of myself…
Like Francis, to stand naked, stripped…
To lay down these useless skins…
To give up these unnecessary treasures…
But there is no space now…
I wanted to reveal more of myself…
But now would be a lie...
For truth is in the moment…
And this moment is not true…
It would force you to see…
I wanted to reveal more of myself…
For now your eyes have seen…
For now your ears have heard…
For now these words are sufficient…
For now let us be sanctified…
