Scene from a Dream
The scent of vanilla enters the room
A wave that permeates the mind
Like roses of trellis and nightingales
The scene of a dream is one of kind
Amidst the stunning and beautiful petals
The sun shines with warm rays of light
Bathing the garden in total smoothness
Like a scene from a dream taking flight
A wave that permeates the mind
Like roses of trellis and nightingales
The scene of a dream is one of kind
Amidst the stunning and beautiful petals
The sun shines with warm rays of light
Bathing the garden in total smoothness
Like a scene from a dream taking flight

Last Night on Revolution Road
Last night she came home with tears in her eyes
The years she spent coaching him came to an end
The little boy she aided through many challenges
Is growing up and in the future hopes to be a friend
She does the work with kindness in her heart
Giving them the tools so they can succeed in life
These children learn and develop new social skills
So that later on they can have productive lives
For all the days of frustrations there were also triumphs
It was a step forward toward an objective and common goal
Behavioral therapy requires...

I Watch the Night
As dawn approaches
The cold winter mountain air whispers
Everything else whether near or far is silent
Every living creature seem lost in their dreams until the break of day
The gloom of the night slowly fades away
As the dark sky begins to turn a different hue
The loneliness lurking in that stillness like a ghost
Rustles through the trees with a hum resonating through mind and time
The cold lingers with a harsh chill to the bones
While the lights from the stars languish in the distance
Soon the rest of the world will awake to...
The cold winter mountain air whispers
Everything else whether near or far is silent
Every living creature seem lost in their dreams until the break of day
The gloom of the night slowly fades away
As the dark sky begins to turn a different hue
The loneliness lurking in that stillness like a ghost
Rustles through the trees with a hum resonating through mind and time
The cold lingers with a harsh chill to the bones
While the lights from the stars languish in the distance
Soon the rest of the world will awake to...

Cuzcatlán
The native Nawat has been slowly disappearing
Like a piece of art lost in the thread of time and history
You would have to go deeper into the hills to find it
The native tongue that sounds like legend and mystery
Amidst the small pueblos and cantones you find them
Living in small houses made of brick and mud
In the patios women make tortillas over brick ovens
And delicious beans in a pot to add iron to the blood
Nantzin sits with her visitor, speaking both languages
Her native Nawat and the Spanish everyone uses
The smell of wood,...

The Shadow
Without eyes he knows exactly where I’m going
Without intuition he understands my every move
At the first sight of light he’s there to trail me
Mimicking every single rhythm, every single groove
Clinging there tightly when I’m not even looking
Even whenever I am twisted, he is still smooth
Mindless in the darkness from another world
From a realm that dreams empty and hollow
The reflection without a face stands near me
Behind me, by me, eager and ready to follow
But I don’t pay much attention to the specter
Because I know one day...
Without intuition he understands my every move
At the first sight of light he’s there to trail me
Mimicking every single rhythm, every single groove
Clinging there tightly when I’m not even looking
Even whenever I am twisted, he is still smooth
Mindless in the darkness from another world
From a realm that dreams empty and hollow
The reflection without a face stands near me
Behind me, by me, eager and ready to follow
But I don’t pay much attention to the specter
Because I know one day...

After the Rain
After the rain come the pretty clear blue skies
It’s like an offering from heaven’s bean pot
It brings a breeze like a fresh breath of hope
To hearts at an impasse, in dread or naught
After the rain the ground becomes saturated
Flowers, plants and trees then begin to bear fruit
These also feed all the little creatures and animals
The ongoing cycle that stems from branch to root
After the rain sound travels crisper and richer
Carrying with it a message from the universe
Listen carefully to the reverberations of nature
As they...

Modern Day Caligula
(a sonnet)
He is a modern day Caligula
Ranting how he should be back on the throne
Screaming loud you can see his uvula
As the orange paint doesn’t match the tone
His deception game has quite the brilliance
Something's wrong, one can see it in his eyes
He’s been able to hypnotize millions
Followers swallow bukkakes of lies
It’s sad when masses heed to a mad man
It passes for normal without disdain
It’s a plain train wreck waiting to happen
But the senseless idiot has gone...
He is a modern day Caligula

An Array of Hues and Colors
The shapeshifter, the trickster
The far-reaching long-winded tongue twister
I alter dispositions and can falter in different temperaments
With metaphors I metamorph
Assimilating between what’s mine and yours
Willing evolve and transform through these experiments
The Gemini in between him the I
Shifting personalities from eye to eye
When the feeling swings depending on the environment
If I catch the beat I also feel the heat
I may play it back and then just put it on repeat
In contrasting shades of truth, I try to find enlightenment...

The Long and Cold
I had to talk a man down away from the edge
The precipice below is dark and dangerous
I had to take some harmful things away
Now the descent feels every bit as lonely
The long and cold night send shivers up the spine
All the unknowns play a daring game of chess
Calculations can’t be made until the day breaks
And even then, the risks seem impossible to take
But love sometimes makes the mind go numb and blind
How far can one tread the path without sound logic?
Will emotions cloud the ability to make clear decisions?
Will they...

Radio Silence
It’s not that I don’t mind the radio silence
But rather the reasons why
Especially between us
But when choosing to give me this kind of treatment
I tend to question the true motives
And at who’s advice
Is it for punishment?
To make me overthink?
To send a deafening message that resonates in my ears?
I often find myself pondering on questions
With the only answer I can think of
“Just give it time”
I’d prepared myself for the unknowns
I thought about the consequences my actions could bring
But I never burn...

Laughter
The other day I made my son read a tricky tongue twister of a poem
And he laughed like he hadn’t laughed in such a long time
He struggled and spat and tried and spat some more all over the phone
It was a verse full of elaborate alliteration and constant rhyme
In the mornings my wife and I have interesting conversations
I wake her up with quips and gags saying things that are kind of…improper
I even make myself the butt of the joke and walk into them
As she laughs I’m left I wondering why I’m not such a panty dropper
Everyday I send...
