OBSERVATIONAL POEM

Grapes
As I coast down the road,
The temperature says it's 102 degrees outside,
Blasting my music and the A.C.,
It's a nice drive.
But then I notice the fields,
They're out there picking grapes,
In the blistering heat.
I look in the mirror,
At my brown face,
Thinking I was given the opportunity
to get an education,
to find a comfortable life,
Yet those migrant workers
Out there earning a living
Must have dreams and aspirations of their own,
To give their daughters and sons a chance.
And...

Ill-Fated
For every decision you make,
For every path that you take,
No matter what, it seems to me you’ve been ill-fated,
Even when nothing makes sense,
Even when it’s at your own expense,
When shit happens, it can make you feel degraded.
There is nothing you can do,
But control your own attitudes,
No matter how rude or crude or how hard time gets,
Even when it all seems hopeless,
Even when you think you lose focus,
Karma is a harsh motherfucker that never, ever forgets.

Lost in the Wonderful Charm
This feels like magic,
Like an elaborate illusion without the confusion of smoke and mirrors,
When I’m nearer to this unmistakable bliss that is her love,
Or maybe I’m just lucky that way.
It seems supernatural,
The chances of someone like me could end up with someone like her,
We were friends forever, longing and yearning for more,
I guess the fates were in my favor.
It all appears mystical,
How our paths crossed then got lost in the storms of life’s destinations,
When the emotion ran deeper than anything I ever knew,
I...

I Feel Beautiful
Somebody pulled a switcharoo on old Wallyroo,
This morning I am completely dumbfounded,
Little Wally and the twins have gone missing,
But what I have now leaves me astounded.
So before I go exploring on this new found gift,
There is a shift in my brain I can’t explain,
Suddenly I begin to see the world in a new way,
Understanding life and feeling a new pain.
I rush over to the mirror to see what this is,
Ripping and stripping my clothes off I gasp,
Looking at the wonder and softness around,
But there is something I still cannot grasp. ...

LIttle Dirty Birds
She’s a
Little dirty bird
Innocently insinuating
That she may be promiscuous
Playing the part of a fallen angel
When in fact she revels in all of her secret pleasures until
She feels the heavy burden of love
And decides to move on
To the next thing when
Then she is in
L
U
S
T
Again ...

Guaro and the Three Franks
My father passed away at sixty-six,
And my grandfather at a younger age,
They were both addicted to alcohol,
Now I write their story on my page.
They tell me I was Frank’s first grandson,
But I don’t have any memory of him,
My dad told me he and grandpa bonded,
When my dad started drinking at thirteen.
But I’m talking about the real hard stuff,
Guaro made from distilled sugar cane,
After all they grew it in the old farm,
In the days before the civil war came.
For years my father lied about drinking,
He always tried to hide his...

Temptation (After the Set)
We started the set with Brubeck’s Take Five and Blue Rondo
A la Turk
Then couple of pieces by Corea and Camilo to whet their appetite
Then on to some original work
And though I was nervous for it being my first gig
I was doing really well
I kept good eye contact with the rest of the guys
Looking for cues and changes in case they improvised
After all being in the background no one notices the drums
Or so I thought, I was just a silhouette
Halfway through the set I noticed two cuties behind the bar
A coquettish young brunette...

Deliverance
She was sleepwalking through the night
Her soulless body anguishing in the dark
But in her dead eyes she was not of this world
As her tormentors screamed and chastised
Sal de este cuerpo!
The preacher shouted at the top of his lungs
Salte demonio!
While the others around spoke in tongues
Yo te reprendo!
With faith they screamed in the night
Vete de aqui!
In the warm and tropical heat
The room suddenly turned cold
It was a fight against damnation
Their miracle lyrical prayers prayed
A supplication for salvation ...
Her soulless body anguishing in the dark
But in her dead eyes she was not of this world
As her tormentors screamed and chastised
Sal de este cuerpo!
The preacher shouted at the top of his lungs
Salte demonio!
While the others around spoke in tongues
Yo te reprendo!
With faith they screamed in the night
Vete de aqui!
In the warm and tropical heat
The room suddenly turned cold
It was a fight against damnation
Their miracle lyrical prayers prayed
A supplication for salvation ...
