GARDEN OF EXCUSES
Place a fence around the Garden of Excuses for habits
To ward off the strays: dogs, foxes and rabbits
That nibble on our fruited seeds and vegetation
Ruining the livestock of our generation.
Don’t allow the rabbits near the carrots
Nor the little foxes near the parrots!
Shun them away from the garden
‘Lest they ruin the garden without pardon!
Your betrayal has no pardon
As you allowed my heart to harden
I created a comfortable cradle
Never knowing it would be fatal!
...

‘Lest they ruin the garden without pardon!
Your betrayal has no pardon
As you allowed my heart to harden

Hide & Seek
My coffee is ready
Black with cream
My mood is deadly
Escaping Napo’s dream
My body is weak
Dignified by zombieism
My mentality at peak
Coping poetry magnetism
The morning is bright
Taunting my dedication
My vocab is all rewrite
Napo loves its castration
My breakfast is air
Stomach pains drum up its strike
Fellowship of the poems ain’t fair
I chewed off more than I can bite
My thought process is fried
Hangin on like a scared kitten on a branch
On the wings of April I slide
Down the slope of my...

THIS IS YOUR TIME.
This is YOUR time….
To shine
To achieve
To aim
To strive
To challenge yourself
To reach your goals
To capture your dreams
To make things happen
This designated place called earth calls out to you, stating: “
THIS IS YOUR TIME!”
Never has there existed anyone like you in the past
Never will there be another one like you in the future
Among zillions of people come and gone and yet to come
YOU are UNIQUE right here..right now…right this moment
In this space in time….
Dare to dream
Dare to search ...
To shine
To achieve
To aim
To strive
To challenge yourself
To reach your goals
To capture your dreams

Her KinsMan - His Lady
Kinsman
Left alone to contemplate,
All the sacrifices that once he made,
Out of love, even out of rage,
The pain in his eyes was so vivid
I had to cry as the vibe took over,
A comfort word to say,
" I do understand"
Cannot take away the hurt that pierced his heart,
Some cultures teach you, men don’t cry,
But when they do, it’s like pureness of angels,
poured out of heaven,
It’s not weakness,
its cleansing of the soul and preparing for when the Lion has to roar,
Passion and affection is stirred when witnessing...

Poetry of Time
Much more than rhyme
the poetry of time
able to contract words
elongate the hours
Dance between the showers
of a sunny summer day
sweep me far away
to years long gone by
Allow me again to try
to somehow forgive
to perhaps relive
an age of innocence
Before all this penitence
I have served…
more than I deserved
but less than I desired
Given all that transpired
in this brief recitation
just another time dilation
linguistic yet so relativistic

Dance between the showers

Let’s Go!
This is the end for me
the stench of self pity is
making me sick, we used to
laugh at crying men, I get it now
It goes on, and so I go with it
life I mean, I have to live it
understanding still that I died
with you, and that me, is gone forever
So enough with the Tool and Nine
Inch Nails, I’m switching it up for
a comeback. just gonna do me
and you’ll be there along for the ride
I’m letting you go son
hold it down until I’m done,
no one said this shit is easy but
you always...

A Better Tomorrow
What of these cards a man be dealt
a twisted fate no longer felt
raging river or endless sea
he seeks alone his destiny
And facing death, eights and aces
so many familiar faces
dance aimlessly through memories
they whisper to him in the trees
Despite the road, we journey forth
a simple path without a course
wandering minds so colorful
he pushed the pen and felt the pull
Into a world of poetry
where thoughts are scribed so eagerly
amidst the backdrop of sorrow
he writes a better tomorrow
a twisted fate no longer felt
raging river or endless sea
he seeks alone his destiny
And facing death, eights and aces
so many familiar faces
dance aimlessly through memories
they whisper to him in the trees
Despite the road, we journey forth
a simple path without a course
wandering minds so colorful
he pushed the pen and felt the pull
Into a world of poetry
where thoughts are scribed so eagerly
amidst the backdrop of sorrow
he writes a better tomorrow

Unconditional
She stares outside her window,
as days became nights
and light crawls away into blackness,
Men, women and children,
Looting for a piece of bread,
Two to three jobs to pay bills and
complete daily meals,
As sound of need passes through,
As blue is equal to red
her veins aches,
knowing their tomorrow would be the same
just struggles,
She goggled,
Many had chances,
But chose to hide into their comfort,
Not everyone had the same luck
laying in golden cribs, ...

Starving Artist
I drape my lines
In visual signs
Poetic designs
Designed to climb vines
Abstract mental for the minds
I sink and swim in my rhymes
Scuba diving in mental disorders
To cross the borders
Of many poetry hoarders
A stepping stone of brick and mortars
Overstepping my boundaries
In subliminal foundries
Questioning all that I write
Whether wrong or right
In the day or the night
A continuous fight
Revamping to shine bright
Proving myself to the might
Every line
I design
Is looking to find
Itself...

Infinitude
There is something infinite
in the art of writing
makes it forever inviting
gives it such an allure
Each thought true and pure
filters through the poet mind
allows it now to find
the barest of all essence
This poetic presence
haunts the written page
dawning another age
with a mere stroke of the pen
Whether in the shady glen
or upon a rocky shore
there always seems more
left unpenned, left unsaid
About the living or dead ...

Erosion
Friction wears
like a contradiction
the give and take
leaves in its wake
more
than it erodes
like a contradiction
the give and take
leaves in its wake
more

Dangle
It hangs up so high
having so very far
to fall ...
to succumb to autumn
Relentless is this wind
the raw breeze
up in the trees
laced with a winter chill
This epic battle of will
of one against
the raging season
the uneven odds
Occurring every year
reflecting every fear
felt
or to be felt
The direction we head
each of us
in our own special way
each and every day
having so very far
to fall ...
to succumb to autumn
Relentless is this wind
the raw breeze
up in the trees
laced with a winter chill
This epic battle of will
of one against
the raging season
the uneven odds
Occurring every year
reflecting every fear
felt
or to be felt
The direction we head
each of us
in our own special way
each and every day
