A Sunset, A Passing and Remembrance
our youthful steps printed on the sand
when we wandered on this beach
we were young and invincible
youth upon our wings we dared to soar
we wandered watching many sunsets
admiring the hues of the sky
reflecting on the sea in many colours
we walked, sharing our dreams
we made promises never to forget
the times together cups of tea
shared on tables with scrabble blocks
crumbs of biscuits on table cloth
death a thief stole your golden days
life that led us in its winding highways
parted us in crossroads...
when we wandered on this beach

the times together cups of tea
shared on tables with scrabble blocks

Get loved sissy
for years I have tried to write a poem about my sister, but the words always crumble into nothing when they hit the paper. As if they knew they were not strong enough to carry my love for her. page after page never truly right. She is wildfire yet safety, from the very moment my eyes opened for the first time, she has been there. the oceans could all dry up, and the sun could swallow the earth, as long as I had my sister I would be ok, nothing else would matter. She is everything all at once , though we are far apart my adoration for her has never faltered or changed. protector , friend, and...

The Protector
Sound muffled
By the ringing in my ears
Light flowing then stopping
Darkness
Right before I close the closet door
Crying tears
That have come from my sisters eyes
By the ringing in my ears
Light flowing then stopping
Darkness
Right before I close the closet door
Crying tears
That have come from my sisters eyes

Feathers of the Same Bird
Feathers of the same bird,
One plucked at the tail and the other from the wing.
Singing the same song,
Falling at different speeds.
The tail feather glides gently down,
The wing feather flies with the bird just a moment longer.
The tail feather reaches the ground,
The wing feather peaks among the clouds.
They sing in harmony,
One soft and one powerful.
One escapes the nest,
The other clings to the side of its mother.
Why did the tail feather let itself fall amongst the leaves and sticks?
Why didn’t it fly alongside the...

Roses And Relations Reborn
Roses And Relations Reborn
I woo my sister. “If the lover of Prospero’s daughter were not fictional wouldst thou not be his leading lady on the stage called life?”
“Dost thou make oracular airs? Such prophecies are not made in jest,” she says.
“Ah, just a portent of love glimpsed from afar.”
“Given my impeccable femininity attested to by thee wouldst thou let a bitter man’s choice fill thy shoes?”
“Since our womb abode was the same surely to share the same bed would be a...

Bridges
I was just flipping through old pictures with my nephew to show him a little of what life was like in the 1980s.
What was so drastically different an experience had I grew up in the 60s?
It's not like anything was new! Everything we lived with, around and used was at least two or three generations old - save for the clothing, vehicles and music.
Of course I'll listen to whatever you've got from this decade, pop rock and nu wave was practically our religion?
Eight bit technology slowly started to creep and our TV tubes were nice and heavy and...

Little Girl
I was raised by a little girl.
She was hurt,
She had bruises and cuts on her body.
We took beatings together,
She’s the only one who held me as I cried.
I was raised by a little girl,
She knew my father as a soldier.
She knew him better than I did,
Rather,
Who he used to be.
He stopped hurting us as we grew,
But she was already grown.
I was raised by a little girl,
She was the coolest person I knew.
She introduced me to good music,
She let me draw anime girls all over her...

No Bun
Once I ate at a Burger King
visiting with my dear sister
We don't see each other that much
Lord only knows how I've missed her
Standing in line and cracking wise
she's older than me but shorter
Neither approached the cash register
until it came time to order
Both of us explain what we want
within the house of the Whopper
Their freaky mascot lives there too
The king that creeps out this pauper
Everything went spectacular
I don't mean to be poking fun
But the wheels came off the wagon

Love Will Never Die
On the night my mom passed I had a dream. In my dream was this beautiful angel with large pink wings. The angel smiled and said to me, " dry your eyes child, your mom is tired and ready to go home." NO , I screamed, this is her home!
The angel replied - follow me, there's something I want you to see.
She pointed to the left and there stood my mom in a field of wildflowers. She looked so beautiful with long dark auburn hair and not a wrinkle did I see. My mom was smiling and talking with my grandma and grandpa, aunts and uncles and my brother Joe too.

that 2nd step...
7 of 30
she stepped boldly off a cliff
eyes open wide
spreading wings untried
& my gods...
you should have seen that girl fly
in a clear blue sky she grew more confident
sure she could soar at last
but a storm blew in & she was caught in the blast
startled by sudden turbulence
she plummeted toward the ground
trembling & crumpled
heart thundering & battered
fractured wings curled protectively around
her
stability shattered
as whispers in her ear offered much needed hope ...

The Sisters Alvarado
I’m down memory lane…
That path is full of dead ends
& painful scars
that time can’t heal!
The sisters I thought I’d always have
but lost to life!
They’re in so many songs
that make me cry!!!
They are gone
with no future memories
to come!!!
The end happened years ago
but I can’t let go!
I have few people I truly loved
and my sisters are the only reason
I fought to survive…
Now I go on without them…
The common problem that united us
became the person that separates us…
It hurts...

profundity of kitty litter
one of the most profound things she ever said in my presence
had nothing (& everything) to do with life
my little sister is a wealth of unexpected knowledge
but this statement has always stuck in my mind
we were sharing a house at the time
splitting household chores & expenses
among them...4 cats between us
she came home one day with a new kind of kitty litter
scoopable...which wasn't a thing until then
I watched as she filled the box
then frowned when she pulled out a soup ladle
placing it neatly in a jar beside the pan ...
