In Jail For The Holidays
I was so angry that I wanted to give my wife a slap.
She went to the mall and a baby was kidnapped.
She kidnapped the baby because we couldn't have one of our own.
I didn't know she'd do it, I would've tried to stop her if I had known.
I had no choice but to call the police and turn her in.
She was arrested and she's in jail because of her sin.
I didn't know what she was capable of when we got hitched.
I didn't want to be an accessory to kidnapping so I snitched.
Christmas is nearly here and she'll be in jail for the holidays.

This Christmas Season
This Christmas Season, I wish my parents were still around.
But they both died in 2013 and they're buried in the ground.
The last Christmas I spent with them was almost a decade ago.
When a man loses his family, it's sad and it's a devastating blow.
The Christmas of 2012 was the last Christmas I was able to spend with them.
Mom died the following March and Dad's cancer got worse and I also lost him.
It's sad to know that they're both gone and we can't spend this Christmas together.
If you still have your parents, truly appreciate them because they won't live...

2021 Is Almost Over
The year is almost over
with what we have to
leave behind. So much
has happened this passed
year.
We are going to enter a
new year with new
beginnings. It's just the
start of it.
Most of us don't really
know what's in store for
all of us. It is so scary
to even think about.
The truth is, we all don't know
what will happen as far as
home prices, if businesses
will be shut down.
We hope that 2022 will
be a better year with good
attitude and with good
spirits.

the race for life
The race for life
Once I was a spore trying to reach the ovaries
I ran fast (must have been athletic) and won the race
to be a living breathing human.
Had the spore lost it would not make, any difference
for a spore.
As it is, I have seen the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean
mountains high and rabbits in the woods never loved
by a woman, nor the glorious hurt of rejection
The softness of her skin, the colour of her eyes
When I swam in the lake of enchantment and walked
near the waterfall where lovers cry.
All this because I was...

this my recollection
This is my Recollection
A salutation to mules, donkeys and horses.
They have disappeared from city life
but without them, no city could be built.
Without the beasts no them, no field to plough
we owe then our way of life.
The beasts were sacrificed in our senseless wars.
We remember them not that saddens me.
There is a hole in the ground, a dot beside an oak
where the mare of many foals stood.
I miss the sturdy beauty of donkeys and mules.
The aroma of their work is gone, and we are poorer
of the vision, we shall not see again...

On bended knee (a senryú of thankfulness)

O' kindred hearts— I bow down
awash of your love

Lughnasadh // Shards of Summer
August 1st, Lughnasadh. The first harvest. The first feast. I laugh with the summer’s heatwave that leaves the rain a distant dream. The first harvest of autumn’s coming, the first harbinger of winter, the last night of true summer gracing my skin. So I shatter a window and collect the glass shards of the last sundown of summer. Before the leaves change colours, while I can still be myself. Before the fog rolls in, before my rainbow turns to gray and the bitter chill ahead. I peer into the looking-glass shards, and the light I see may yet still hold a trace of the warmer months.
I bake...
I bake...

a bluebottles tale
A bluebottle’s tale.
Flies, dark a biblical curse flew, over Alexandria
darkened the sky and hummed hell´s song.
This was not butterflies, in a summer glade.
A bluebottle got to a small hole in the window
they were bringing profanity upon the world.
I looked into its intelligent eyes a soldier drafted
to bring wars and hunger to the world,
(No, not a locust plaque that for its own sake
headless exists.)
to make wars and split nations into many pieces.
God had fated humans should remove each other,
he had made the error given...

what fame can do
What fame can do
Parked outside the local supermarket I saw a Rolls Royce
I straighten my shoulder and walked in with dignity.
The staff looked tense like an Imam had visited a church sermon.
Then I saw him, a tall elegant man deeply tanned, I can´t say black
anymore, but my wife comes from Kinshasa.
He walked around the shop looking at things unnerving us,
finally, he bought an apple, ate it on his way to the rolls,
Threw the apple core away entered (open-topped)
And drove away.
The staff was relieved, told me he was a famous actor, ...

Machu Picchu of the Heart
Machu Picchu of the Heart
Andean vales green as envy
Gather pilgrims for holiday from tears
Where tradition is the religion
For doubters and believers alike
When lovers creeds turn into forested hills
Where trees are strong as fairy spells
Whose magic cannot replace agape
Or fool the delight of couples
In their unbound love
On their woodland trek
To a place beyond toil or strife
Where sacred shrines point the way
To a Machu Picchu of the heart
Andean vales green as envy
Gather pilgrims for holiday from tears
Where tradition is the religion
For doubters and believers alike
When lovers creeds turn into forested hills
Where trees are strong as fairy spells
Whose magic cannot replace agape
Or fool the delight of couples
In their unbound love
On their woodland trek
To a place beyond toil or strife
Where sacred shrines point the way
To a Machu Picchu of the heart
