Only tempest and decrepit,
Blackened and lost souls.
Covet and seek,
For something much more.
Never sway, never cede.
The blessed seek nothing more.
The Blessed are those-who with faith.
Who with FAITH fill their soul!

A Faithful Friend
Rick Ramirez Barba
April 2017
How can i thank
A most faithful friend
Whos by my side
Has always been
Who’s never judged
Nor left my side
Everyday together...
But left at night
This friend, whose name
I never knew
Who never spoke-
This friend was true
How can i thank
This true great friend
Whom my life has always followed
From beginning - till the end....
My dear true friend
Of whom i knew - so little
Uncovering his past
Was like an unsolvable riddle
I’ve tried and tried
With no avail
Remember how we met....
When? and where?
But then with time
When life got slower
A young man no more
But Much wise....and older
I knew that my true friend
Who forever stood by me
That when i died and went away
My true friend..again...I’d never see
My friend who never left my side
You too--- have a friend like me
Who goes away at night
And only in the day you’ll see
How can i Thank you my true friend
Who has no name and most don’t know
That the friend I thank so much..
Is simply ...my shadow.....

i drink
of you and
spill you upon
mi blanco barba
lo siento
that's what
the translator
said to say but
my mind
my hands
my closed eyes
see how i feel
i'm
shallow
i'm
i don't know
a shore collecting seashells

Collective consciousness
Folded over into a square
Wrapped around a tree trunk
Etched with a scimitar
Another guidepost
To the morning star
Ad nauseam
Barba tenus sapientes
