Brave New World
Here’s to the dreamers and the mouth of babes,
Who will surely one day inherit the earth,
May our sorrow today be their hope tomorrow,
Giving way to enlightenment and rebirth.
Here’s to those who in our current times,
Are fighting, striving and pushing for change,
So that it brings a better place for our offspring,
Offering peace to our spirits in exchange.
Here’s to the philosophers and the thinkers,
To the teacher who helps shape a young mind,
They’ll pay homage for passing down knowledge,
With the commitment that it will be...

Frameworks
She’s got these alluring honey brown eyes,
Inviting,
Exciting,
Seductive
With elusive airs,
It’s tempting to look in her soul,
Yet in her subtle stares,
There’s an appealing magnetism
Like a prism
Or a schism within my internal frameworks
Into the abstract
and beyond the unknown
Where I have no control.
It’s a

Schlitz and Giggles
Pour another round,
Tonight it’s going down!
A couple of more nice cold lagers will do,
My glass is almost empty,
But I know there’s plenty,
Oh you bet we’ll have barrels of fun too.
We’ll remember the times,
Anything that comes to mind,
Laugh at old jokes as if they were new,
We share the same struggles,
We’ll forget about our troubles,
Just for a couple of hours to get us through.
Have another draught,
Surely we’ll have a blast,
The night is young so we’ll let it all unfold,
And our hearts will rejoice, ...

Dreaming in Color (a sonnet)
I dream in color, in all shades and hues,
With vivid and palpable emotions,
Where the fantasies are for me to choose,
With more profound depth than all the oceans.
I relish in the pervasive visions,
That fill my heart with gladness and delight,
Kindly planning with exact precisions,
The colors offer the dream quite the sprite.
I delve into the imagination,
With all abandon, passion, thirst and lust,
In the trance I find complete elation,
With a grand design I’ve come to entrust
In each of us there’s a secret fire,
That in...

A Bad Poem
If I wrote you a really bad poem
Would you be honest and tell me truth
As I explore different ways and forms
I want to be sure I’m making good use
Trying out new things to expand my mind
And eventually write you better verses
But you’ll notice that I’ll code my verses
Getting lost in the meaning of the poem
Even then you don’t really seem to mind
Because within the lines I conceal the truth
It’s true, my poetry is my journal put to use
As I explore different ways and forms
And when I’ve tried new ways and forms
I’ve...

The Legend of Relámpago
I’m going to tell you a story about a masked avenger,
Faster than Zorro and more agile than a luchador,
He fought for those who couldn’t defend themselves,
I’m talking about the one and only – Relámpago!
He had been a lawyer and a local sheriff,
In a small quaint town just north of Mexico,
And one day after the mafia couldn’t buy him,
They killed his family with one harsh blow.
His family’s funeral took place on a rainy day,
Even then the mafia would still not let go,
He was attacked in the middle of their burial,
And left for...

This Ink
There’s something about the way this ink flows
When my words pour slowly onto the page,
As I write these verses, limericks and prose,
I’ve prepared stories setting up the stage.
When my words pour slowly onto the page,
Feeling the ink steadily taking form,
I’ve prepared stories setting up the stage,
The poems are building, getting close and warm.
Feeling the ink steadily taking form,
I’ll follow her wherever she leads me,
The poems are building, getting close and warm,
It’s whatever the inspiration feeds me.
I’ll...

A Distant Shore
Did you ever find what you were looking for?
Were your prayers answered at last?
Did you get there and then saw there’s more?
Do you remember every promise you swore?
Or dId they fade away into the past?
Have they become ghosts you can’t ignore?
Do you reminisce about those days of yore?
Compared to today it’s quite the contrast,
Do you still wonder and then go explore?
Do you ever think about the words I said before?
The conversations we had and what I asked,
Because sometimes it gets me to the core.
Perhaps...
