Poet Introduction
Inspired by life, literature, love and music.
Make Her Smile
She’s a vision, a dream
Some may dare to compare it to heaven on earth,
Like vast and deep oceans with uncharted emotions
No one has ever ventured swim before.
When he sees her it feels like his heart
Giving way to a different rhythm and beat,
And then it repeats,
When her demure allure gets his attention,
Effortlessly,
Little by little, he wants more.
She sways in such a way,
Nonchalantly without any provocation or intention,
Enticing like innuendos, hinted and implied,
He finds it fascinating, mysterious and...

In Sunsets
It’s in the eyes
Where paradise lives and dies
Like April leaves arriving early in the spring
Wondering gently in the breeze
Caressing your skin in the most melodious way
And some clouds that are as white as snow
Turn to golden hues in picturesque sunsets
Breathed in breathless delightful thoughts
Adored and absorbed in absolute stunning views
They make you dream
The most beautiful images you can imagine
With welcoming smiles that lead to celestial bodies
In glorious scenes of distant horizons
And like that...
Where paradise lives and dies
Like April leaves arriving early in the spring
Wondering gently in the breeze
Caressing your skin in the most melodious way
And some clouds that are as white as snow
Turn to golden hues in picturesque sunsets
Breathed in breathless delightful thoughts
Adored and absorbed in absolute stunning views
They make you dream
The most beautiful images you can imagine
With welcoming smiles that lead to celestial bodies
In glorious scenes of distant horizons
And like that...

Express Yourself
When you convey your thoughts and ideas,
In a creative and properly written form,
You can connect with your reader,
And a new relationship is born.
When you express your beliefs and emotions,
In a cleverly and an inspirational way,
You can bond with your audience,
Listening to what you have to say.
When you relate your dreams and aspirations,
In an imaginative and original manner,
Then you’ll have exclusive fans,
In your own glitz and glamour.
When you give your true feelings a voice,
The words you create...

Insomnia at its Finest
My mind was all over the place
My thoughts got lost in a maze
Through a labyrinth of the subconscious emerging
Pouring ideas and concepts
Endless frameworks and contexts
As all night long my brain kept rushing and surging
Woken from dream cloud
As if I’d spoken out loud
Infinite ideas drove me to no end throughout the night
Each and every situation
Added to my frustration
How typical of my subliminal to pick that time to fight
By the early hours of the morning
Like some kind of forewarning
I saw the light...

Soul on Fire
It’s that something about her beauty,
That drives him wild with desire,
But he shot himself with his own potion,
Now the emotion has set his soul on fire.
He lingers on the trace of her presence,
When her essence sends him dreaming,
His senses reel in splendor of her appeal,
A million feelings of passions teeming.
And there he goes flying amidst the birds,
His soul on fire as his blood is churning.
He’ll profess his love uttering the words,
He’ll confess his suffering and his yearning.
That drives him wild with desire,
But he shot himself with his own potion,
Now the emotion has set his soul on fire.
He lingers on the trace of her presence,
When her essence sends him dreaming,
His senses reel in splendor of her appeal,
A million feelings of passions teeming.
And there he goes flying amidst the birds,
His soul on fire as his blood is churning.
He’ll profess his love uttering the words,
He’ll confess his suffering and his yearning.

Choices
I can’t sit here and ask myself,
Why is this happening to me?
I am a product of my own choices
I am in charge of my own destiny.
I am the engineer and the architect,
Of my faith and fate as much as it can be,
Even when there are things I can’t control,
My reaction depends on my personality.
I will never look at someone else’s success,
And ask myself, why not me?
For I know they’ve put in the hard work,
For now they enjoy the fruits of their labor...
…and productivity.
I am the creator, whether it’s now or...

Massacre at El Mozote
This story is a story that’s been shrouded in mystery,
Not told too often as it’s often done in history,
You’d have to dig through journals, electronically,
And find remnants of the cold war erased from memory.
It was in early December back in 1981,
When the Atlacatl Battalion went into the little village,
With counter insurgency tactics to flush out the enemy,
But this event went beyond any sort of pillage.
Guerilla fighters were known to sometimes dress as civilians,
The brilliance of hiding in plain sight like innocent...

Light That Ignites
(to a lighter)
You’re the extension of me,
The fire I seek,
The augmentation of my imagination
Of what I want others to feel,
You’re the redeemer to my affliction,
The enabler
That makes my fantasies so real.
You’re a god amongst objects,
A deity amid ordinary things,
You create the ardor in my life,
The means to my passions
And the joy that it brings.
You’ve been the key to my happiness,
The sage to my burning rage,
You’ve made my fancies come alive,
And provided fire

Alma Gitana
They left the party early,
The stares they shared seduced each other all night long,
The way she wore that dress, with refinement and finesse
They couldn’t ignore the attraction, the signals were too strong.
And once they got back to his place,
They had a couple of more drinks and yet very few words,
They embraced and kissed with a fever no one could resist,
Into an all-nighter that had them both stimulated and stirred.
And in between those moments of rest,
As he caressed the delicate curves of her back and derriere,
He admired the...

Revolution!
I sense a revolution coming,
The masses are taking a stand for what is right,
Coming together for the sake of humanity,
Joining together in an arduous everlasting fight.
I feel a revolution rising,
Like prophecies told about the end of times,
The rich get richer and the poor are dehumanized,
And those responsible will be judged for their crimes.
I smell a revolution brewing,
When some in the ruling class are the worst of criminals,
Creating laws and decrees to take what’s rightfully ours,
To benefit them is just beyond deceptive and...

Frank's Green Leather Jacket

When I inherited my dad's green leather jacket,
It was straight out of ’79, retro cool and bad like a motherf…
I’m talking about like Shaft cool about to break up a racket.
It gave me the nostalgia of a different time, another era,
Not so much of disco but those of my parent’s early years,
The places they had been, the people they had met,
The stories it could tell if I pressed it against my ears.
Dad had been a semi pro early in his youth,
So he retained that bit of, "I could’ve been" swagger, ...

Every Day is a New Beginning
Every day is a new beginning,
It just depends what I make of it,
Do I go back to the same routine?
Or will I go and chase the dream?
Every day brings new hope,
Even when the rain obscures the sun,
It all depends how I look at it,
Is it partly cloudy, or is it…
It doesn’t matter what the circumstances are,
All beginnings begin with me,
For every obstacle in my way,
There is an opportunity to learn and strengthen me.
For all the times I’ve fallen,
I got up again and kept on going,
I had to look at my playbook and...
