Out With the Old, In With the New
I say goodbye to all the people and things weigh me down
Because if life taught us anything it is the fact that we do not
Deserve it when our megawatt smiles turn into sullen frowns.
Say goodbye to the things that turn our stomachs into knots
Much like a lasso that does not untangle or come undone.
Sometimes we miss the people we used to know and spots
Where we used to hang out. We are more worthy of the sun,
Moon and stars when we trust the people who give them to us
Instead of questioning their motives. Some days we have spun
...

MEXICO'S ROSES AND SKULLS
A beautiful tradition
That makes a day so colorful
Candy skulls and flowers
A great day to celebrate it's huge reason.
Many dressed as the dead
To honor their loved ones
A parade with a gigantic deathbed
Wow so original as all creativity comes
Many children join to help and adorn
The way love shows
Bringing all together to spread and transform
The wisdom of the Day of the Dead grows
Roses and beauty everywhere to see
Mexico is so Preciosa
Showing the real meaning of family...

Untitled, too
When your choices are clear
and your intention is true
not even god can deter you from walking
the path unfolding beneath your feet.
No manner of temptation or distraction
can draw your affixed attention
no twisted contraption of mental masturbation
will blur the lines that you’re meant to follow.
A slave to the cosmic fiddle with
eyes glaring at the truth rewriting itself
in the blackboards of your mind
Solutions slowly disentangling the neuron knots.
Deny all you want as you will
there is little hope in going...
and your intention is true
not even god can deter you from walking
the path unfolding beneath your feet.
No manner of temptation or distraction
can draw your affixed attention
no twisted contraption of mental masturbation
will blur the lines that you’re meant to follow.
A slave to the cosmic fiddle with
eyes glaring at the truth rewriting itself
in the blackboards of your mind
Solutions slowly disentangling the neuron knots.
Deny all you want as you will
there is little hope in going...

Sights Aloft
Fourth I Marched today, for the freshest air,
into the blue, white, and gray intermix
blasting transpiration through my hair
as Zephyr got his atmospheric kicks
step by obstreperous step to the fore,
as a proud Zephyr won't blow in reverse
to mark some bootless barometric score
in the fluxion dynamic universe
where inspiration is the first to flow...
...in myriad crepuscularities...
perceived as a most ethereal show
in thermic air current disparities,
as uplifting to a vernal feather...
as the forthwith march of...
into the blue, white, and gray intermix
blasting transpiration through my hair
as Zephyr got his atmospheric kicks
step by obstreperous step to the fore,
as a proud Zephyr won't blow in reverse
to mark some bootless barometric score
in the fluxion dynamic universe
where inspiration is the first to flow...
...in myriad crepuscularities...
perceived as a most ethereal show
in thermic air current disparities,
as uplifting to a vernal feather...
as the forthwith march of...

We can stand and build
If we keep but one truth in focus,
Whatever the contrast,
Whatever the pain or love in living life.
Being alive will find a way to be,
And words, however free, will flow,
They will flood the span between the voids.
Be an ocean between the grains of sand,
And here, between our fingers,
Is a place where you're always home.
In our hands is land,
Is a ground, a world on which,
We can stand and build.
Whatever the contrast,
Whatever the pain or love in living life.
Being alive will find a way to be,
And words, however free, will flow,
They will flood the span between the voids.
Be an ocean between the grains of sand,
And here, between our fingers,
Is a place where you're always home.
In our hands is land,
Is a ground, a world on which,
We can stand and build.

Can Only Be Compared
It is when
One
Is being Trusted
By family's
Who don't know
You
Coz you ain't
From around here
That Feeling
Of being
Trusted
Can only be
Compared
To being loved
As Family
One

Winter Wander
Peaceful snowfall
Soft “hello”
Cool crisp outside
Heart aglow
Snapshots captured
Now I know
Friendship regained
Is possible
Thank you, Friend,
For words of hope.

Dreamers
We were born in pouring rain,
with thunder and storm,
Come fire, we said,
come flood,
We are ten thousand drops of water,
and the sound it sings
as it rises back to the clouds.
Let’s stand beside each other,
and lift our eyes to the sky.
—Ab.C.

Today 1:58am
Into Forever
into forever, into the rain
of what is never returning again
memories dissolving, fading away
into the present, into today
into between each tick and tock
into a stream, becoming unlocked
to float away, going somewhere
to rhythmic breathing of unseen air
anticipating, imagining real
sensations of pleasure, something to feel
in between breathing, in and out breath
into the present is all that is left
into forever while going nowhere
other than into what is laid bare
by senses' perception, processed by mind...
of what is never returning again
memories dissolving, fading away
into the present, into today
into between each tick and tock
into a stream, becoming unlocked
to float away, going somewhere
to rhythmic breathing of unseen air
anticipating, imagining real
sensations of pleasure, something to feel
in between breathing, in and out breath
into the present is all that is left
into forever while going nowhere
other than into what is laid bare
by senses' perception, processed by mind...

Different From the Rest
I'm so happy I met you. I'm so hungry
Tonight. Of course it's my fault. I keep
Talking to things I love all day long, things
With two legs that grow stubble in the
Morning. You're so sweet. And shy. And
Kind. And I honestly don't want to talk to
Anyone else tonight. I don't think I'll ever
Be good enough for someone I want. It
Just hasn't seemed to happen in so very
Many years. I just... All my life it seemed...
I was never good enough for the people
I loved most. I lie in bed hungry in the
Darkness. But it's nice, though I'm so ...
