Just a little time
Sons gone to bed.
My daughters just now lay their head.
My wife puts arms around my neck.
On her forehead I little Peck.
She smiles burying her face in my chest.
"Papi, these are moments I love best."
My hands grab her waist.
We start dancing all over the place.
Her arms wrap tighter in a hug.
Her legs wrap my waist I can feel her love.
She whispers in my ear "sleepy papi"
Sleep in my arms angel your safe with me.
She smiles don't let me go
I look at her I can't your in my soul.
I...

Desire
Is a thing
To be harvested
In the heart
Harnessed in the
Mind
And
Hardened
Through the body

Giving Thanks
To God for giving me a life I can now fully appreciate
To all who have inspired me to reach higher
For those who stayed even when I gave them reason not to
For the people who have taught me that mistakes only make you stronger
To the man who came back
For friends that love and support me
For family that never gave up on me
For having a space to vent my feelings without judgement
To a body that forgives
To the men in my life that enhance me and accept me without conditions
To the compassionate souls that grace my life
For having sense...
To all who have inspired me to reach higher
For those who stayed even when I gave them reason not to
For the people who have taught me that mistakes only make you stronger
To the man who came back
For friends that love and support me
For family that never gave up on me
For having a space to vent my feelings without judgement
To a body that forgives
To the men in my life that enhance me and accept me without conditions
To the compassionate souls that grace my life
For having sense...

Groveling Grandiosity
Jacob wrestled an Angel
I wrestled men
with tiny questions
and a quavering voice
So vast and so mighty
yet somehow constrained
in earthquake
thunder and lightning
yet with a whisper
I speak
and you listen
I wrestled men
with tiny questions
and a quavering voice
So vast and so mighty
yet somehow constrained
in earthquake
thunder and lightning
yet with a whisper
I speak
and you listen

Coffee Cup Swirls
Coffee cup swirls
Cream joins blackness
Loses itself
Gives itself
To brighten its partner
A sweet new tone
Unique in all the world
Emerges from these two
This one delicate ratio
And they dance
Casting aroma swirls into the air
Sight, smell, philosophy
My day is brighter
I wish I could feel your sweet swirl today
Attacking my soul
Blending, sweetening me
Diluting yourself
To tune my aura
Sharpening my focus
On all the beauty laid before my eyes
Lighting my perspective
Easing my mind ...
Cream joins blackness
Loses itself
Gives itself
To brighten its partner
A sweet new tone
Unique in all the world
Emerges from these two
This one delicate ratio
And they dance
Casting aroma swirls into the air
Sight, smell, philosophy
My day is brighter
I wish I could feel your sweet swirl today
Attacking my soul
Blending, sweetening me
Diluting yourself
To tune my aura
Sharpening my focus
On all the beauty laid before my eyes
Lighting my perspective
Easing my mind ...

Stargazers in Awe
There is a nostalgia in her eyes
Like a memory of million heartbeats echoing through time
A story untold through a near glassy glacial glance
Cold and warm all at once
Reaching out in the night
In the vast expanse there is a sigh
It’s as if there is a secret from the universe wanting to escape
You can almost imagine it as it treks along
Leaving a trail of soft and slow breaths
Leaving stargazers in awe
It becomes kind of like a recollection
Of lovers
Of friends
Maybe even strangers that crossed paths ...
Like a memory of million heartbeats echoing through time
A story untold through a near glassy glacial glance
Cold and warm all at once
Reaching out in the night
In the vast expanse there is a sigh
It’s as if there is a secret from the universe wanting to escape
You can almost imagine it as it treks along
Leaving a trail of soft and slow breaths
Leaving stargazers in awe
It becomes kind of like a recollection
Of lovers
Of friends
Maybe even strangers that crossed paths ...

The Number Elf
In sport
The Dutch, and Germans
Have a hidden tradition
That if a team
Has more than ten players
Then the eleventh player
Is always an Elf
In England
They simply made an anagram
Out of Elvene
In Ireland, however
Their number eleven
Is always a Pixie!

Gloria/an ode
Jesus died for somebodies sins
but not mine
Patti Smith
We met in a dream
she braids my hair
quoting volumes
cafes visited
ruffled cards
inscribed
prose parlor
we tried her meter
tone laddered
spell bound
by her banshee
presence
absence
of a pleated skirt
plain white cotton
we tightened
our long escape
we would smoke
long dark brown cigarettes
trying not to blink ...
but not mine

The Climb
You have that dream where you can almost see it
A voice inside your head says you'll never reach it
It feels like you're lost with every move you're making
So you second guess every step you're taking
If you go through a hindrance and feel your faith is shaking
Invigorate yourself, carry on, and say, "No I am not breaking!"
Life unfailingly brings uphill battles, and occasionally you'll lose
There'll be another mountain, and you'll want to make it move
Misfortunes leave you in pain with a temporary bruise
Stand tall in adversity - that's something...
A voice inside your head says you'll never reach it
It feels like you're lost with every move you're making
So you second guess every step you're taking
If you go through a hindrance and feel your faith is shaking
Invigorate yourself, carry on, and say, "No I am not breaking!"
Life unfailingly brings uphill battles, and occasionally you'll lose
There'll be another mountain, and you'll want to make it move
Misfortunes leave you in pain with a temporary bruise
Stand tall in adversity - that's something...

Snapshot
peaceful, tranquil, calm blue sea
merging with the sky to be
overhead and all around
blue blue light with liquid sound
lap lap lapping on the shore
sand and gulls and something more
radiating solar heat
feeling warmth beneath bare feet...
eagles flying in the sky
synchronizing as they fly
flap flap flap as they move on
above some clouds, then they're gone -
people worshipping the Sun
on the beach by having fun
walking on the water too
as paddleboards come into view...
mystic moments we all...
merging with the sky to be
overhead and all around
blue blue light with liquid sound
lap lap lapping on the shore
sand and gulls and something more
radiating solar heat
feeling warmth beneath bare feet...
eagles flying in the sky
synchronizing as they fly
flap flap flap as they move on
above some clouds, then they're gone -
people worshipping the Sun
on the beach by having fun
walking on the water too
as paddleboards come into view...
mystic moments we all...
