Only time will tell
I stare out towards you
I wonder if I love you
Only time will tell
I wonder if I love you
Only time will tell

The Awakening
I thought
I had somewhere
To be
Forgotten
Memories
Held me captive
Yet somehow
Clarity clawed
Through
The thicket
Of self doubt
Turns out
My life
was just
A stop gate
My confidence
Diverted
My self worth
Abandoned
I lost myself
In the pleasure
Of others
Afterwards
Empty arms
Left my soul
Uninhabited
Those chains ...

IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS
SOME
people try to live
their lives by trying
to please others in
little things and large
things. Others become
the temperature that
register on their happiness
and joy thermometers.
NO
I'm not advocating a disdain
for the opinions of others but
I will not let them have power
over whether I have joy, acceptance,
or involvement in certain forms
of sexual pleasuring and pursuits
within honest and legal bounds.
THE
opinions and remarks of others
have no power over me unless
I choose to let it....

A Shadow
Haunted by a dark shiver,
that creeps like a shadow's quiver.
A blackening cold
spreading upon my bones.
Confronted by the raw dank,
invasive thoughts of the unknown.
Hope is seen gaunt wandering my halls.
That despair is desperate to taint.
But strength has heard the ancient call.
The brightest gold sun shines
through the shriveled berry branches.
Blessed with newborn tiny blossom enhancements.
Away from the chaotic complexity of
the dark thought's advancement.
For when a shadow exists
that belongs to no sun....
that creeps like a shadow's quiver.
A blackening cold
spreading upon my bones.
Confronted by the raw dank,
invasive thoughts of the unknown.
Hope is seen gaunt wandering my halls.
That despair is desperate to taint.
But strength has heard the ancient call.
The brightest gold sun shines
through the shriveled berry branches.
Blessed with newborn tiny blossom enhancements.
Away from the chaotic complexity of
the dark thought's advancement.
For when a shadow exists
that belongs to no sun....

The Sleeping Terrain Of Thought
sacred thought kept in tear's regrets
fall down my cheeks in ripples of sorrow
I covet the honesty of my sadness
vulnerable in truth
guile resides in shadows
I prefer sunlit places where dreams are alive
though painful they never really die utterly
painfully aware of their beauty
they paint vistas on the horizons
and duly we follow
keening epiphanies alter our course
it is a solemn thing to live
to exist at all is pain
from umbilicus to breath
the first touch of air to skin
makes us startle
...

Tell All
Don't let them know you
You said that but it's too late
My own works tell all
You said that but it's too late
My own works tell all

Heatwave
accustomed
to violence
you held me
in silence
commanding
compliance
still i grew
in defiance
——
when walking
on eggshells
from dawn
until dusk
you learn
to be silent
because
you must
you trapped me
inside
locked the door
tossed the key
proceeded
to torture
degrade and
abuse me
you set us
both on fire
then you
apologized
but i didn’t
believe you
when i looked ...

I am your artist, I am your muse
Weathered
Like the painting
I am
Barrio Urban
South side
Writer’s block
You could cut with a knife
Art is my remains
Mentor, lover, muse
Choices and regrets
Sliced and diced
I never give up
The struggle
A piece of cake
Prefer Key Lime Pie
Work harder
Sleep tomorrow

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 ...

shedding this skin
i feel
walled in,
towering
stone
buildings,
it's time
to be
moving on,
no more
unnatural
lights
over me,
i need
that winged
breeze,
to find
that peace,
move on,
part ways
and let
tomorrow
devour
everything
behind me.

ON ANY GIVEN DAY
Some days I will just stay in my own lane
Keeping quiet I am not bitter or complain
Bringing on all my magic and other stuff
Know full well I'm way more than enough
Others I will come willing and ready to win
Seeking another to help me commit my sin
Between us there's fiestiness and spit fire
Stroking embers of passions sweet desire
Either way I will get what it is I came for
Wait and watch me as my soul will soar
Careful now cause you will eat my dust
As I do as I want as I will do what I must
Keeping quiet I am not bitter or complain
Bringing on all my magic and other stuff
Know full well I'm way more than enough
Others I will come willing and ready to win
Seeking another to help me commit my sin
Between us there's fiestiness and spit fire
Stroking embers of passions sweet desire
Either way I will get what it is I came for
Wait and watch me as my soul will soar
Careful now cause you will eat my dust
As I do as I want as I will do what I must

Alvarenga Lost at Sea
A two-day fishing trip turned into an misfortune
When two fishermen went out to sea
But a five-day storm drove them severely off course
Losing all communication sent off adrift
Without any supplies the two men had to survive
By eating raw fish, drinking rain water and turtle blood
But after four months one of the fishermen died
And Jose Alvarenga continued ill-fated or culled
And for nine more months the man lost at sea
Drifted across the ocean for over six thousand miles
Away from civilization alone with his thoughts
As if...
