Poetul El dominio del alma

El dominio del alma
Una noche cualquiera sin ningún motivo he visto la luna y me ha nacido escribir pero no se que hacer la verdad dejare que mi subconsciente me domine y escriba lo que quiera……..mi miedo al futuro……chico tranquilo que se podría describir de un poco inquieto se apacienta su cuarto pensando mirando al techo de su cuarto perdiéndose en su mente y piensa solo en que será de él el día de mañana y casi siempre terminan llorando por el hecho de no saber por dónde empezar…..el párrafo nos relata una escena muy corta pero con el significado más profundo posible, la palabra INQUIETO con la cual comenzamos es de dar ha entender no en la parte física no en la parte mental por el hecho que la mente siempre tiene que estar en movimiento para el en su subconsciente, CUARTO es el punto esencial de la escena por que hay es donde los jóvenes más en soledad se encuentran normalmente es el había esencia para el pensamiento profundo en pocas palabras la escena real TECHO jajaja como parte esencial el hecho de que el mirar y dejar que la mente tome control del cuerpo y todo se sitúe en la mente para dejarla dejarla florecer DIA DE MAÑANA sin inventar sin saber sin conocer sin poder hacer nada LLORANDO cada gota tiene un significado que comienza desde bloques más adentro y siempre termina en el suelo sin importar Que y te preguntaras? De qué servirá todo esto pues la percepción va deriva por el hecho de las palabras son comunes entre los jóvenes por el hecho que estar mejor en su habita que es  lo único que lo hace sentir seguro y el alma actúa cuando  la mente le da ese  permiso absoluto por eso siempre nos dicen que las lágrimas caen cuando están solas y se dicen que no son lágrimas normales si no lagrimas atrapadas por el hecho de no poder ser una solo persona en su cuarto, el había, la soledad, el dolor y las lágrimas son esa entra al alma que todos quisiéramos que nos controlara 
Frase del día
Si la verdad no te hace sentir en paz será mejor que te olvides de tu alma por el hecho que el alma es la forma espiritual más real y verdadera que puedes alcanzar o estar preparado para el dolor de la verdad o estas en la tranquilidad de la mentira esperando ha que llegue a su fin

Premium Member Cats I’ve Lived With

"Cats come in many kinds of personalities - the same as people do. Just be very grateful if a perfect one owns YOU." by Author


A lot of cats in my life I’ve taken in.
A silver Persian with green eyes was my first.
She was lovely, but so aloof – to my chagrin.
Some other cats had problems, but the worst
were those who would not use the litter box – I felt cursed!

Ralph, an ugly gray Persian with a smashed-in face,
had a purr like a roar; he was really nice!
Another Persian I’d named Lilah had a lady’s grace.
Black cat Razzmataz and Sookie (Siamese) – each one had her vice.
Strangely, not a one of them was interested in mice!

There was one cat I loved that was the best.
A plain-looking Calico was she.
Nineteen years she lived with us; I felt so blessed,
for Callie was as flawless as a cat can be.
After all these years, I miss her always being near me.

She’d follow me around, such a darling.
A little bell on her collar let me know
she was always there with its ring-a-ling-a-ling.
Today I have two boy cats -Simba and Chico.
They’re not bad, but next to Callie, they are only so-so!

Premium Member This Song I'M Listening To

I hear once more the lyrics of this song I'm listening to-
a gentle blast from my very youthful past,
and I am back in middle school,
an attractive skinny girl 
despite the horn rimmed glasses
which have gotten me the nickname of “Four eyes”
and the large beehive hairdo 
I have to rat with my comb painstakingly each morning.

I am in the music room of my eighth grade
practicing with Swing Choir,
the group that I’ve auditioned for 
and am thrilled to be a part of.
A cute boy stands tall among all the others
in the back row of the male section.
We are all singing -

“This Guy’s in Love.
This guy’s in love with You.”

My heart is pounding with the melody
as I watch my current crush so longingly,
imagining he sings the words to me alone.
Could my life yet to be lived
ever compare to my happiest vivid daydreams?

“When you smile, I can tell we know each other very well.”

I think he sees me watching him. I look away.
This scene will be replayed again and again
in other classrooms 
where I’ll be watching other boys
that I'll be crushing on
and hoping they are watching me as well.

But now, just for now -
I sing the words with my group -

“Don’t let my heart keep breaking. . .”

My soul fills with teenage angst.
Oh to be young again
with such sweet aching
not yet knowing I’ll soon be getting walked home from school
by that cute tall boy
 named Chico.

Written Feb. 7, 2016 for the Solitary Moments Poetry Contest of Mystic Rose
The song is "This Guy's in Love" written by Burt Bacharach
and performed byHerb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass. (please hear it in the link above)

Cost of Living

Cost of living.

The cost of living is getting me down, now my smile is always a frown.
Juggling bills, there's nothing left, before long I'm going to have to turn to theft.
Government don't understand or care that now my cupboard is always bare.
Pay rises are now a joke, don't they realise we're all broke!
They need to spend some time in my shoes before they prioritise company profits over our blues.
Because before long we will rise and put an end to all their lies!

Power to the people,
Chico.

Notes:  Moe Howard's (of the Three Stooges) actual first name was Moshe.
  'Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk' was a trademark line of Curly (3 Stooges.) 
   Berle is comedian: Milton Berle (aka 'Uncle Miltie').
  'Egads zooks' is an exclamation my mother and others of her
   generation used to use (frequently). 
  'Wooly Bully' was a pop song by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs,
   released in 1965; it soared high on the Top-40 charts.

A Journey Through Civilizations

It never takes me 
More than a wink of an eye 
To travel from the Levant people 
To the people of Minoa   
Via yellow river, Norte Chico 
Egypt, Harappa and Mesopotamia 

I’d seen enough falls and rises 
Like the ocean’s weaves 
Embedded with few moment’s high tides  
And receding low ebbs 

While living in houses of Uruk and Memphis
I encountered with enough love and hate 
To satisfy their basic instincts 
Some went too low, some were too great
To preserve human development and progress.

In the course of my travelling 
Through the great river Nile
Among the valleys of Euphrates and Tigris 
I’d seen wonderful minds 
In heaps of war, conspiracy, deception and lies 

With multiple injuries 
When I laid in the trenches of lust and greed 
In the battle fields of Polynesia 
I’d seen the indomitable human spirit 
How it withheld  the cruelties of Athenians and Spartans 
And pushed forward  the  great human civilization 

………………to  be continued ……..

Premium Member For Chico - My Boy

White kitten with curled ears. How cute is he -
this little cat now barely eight weeks old.
My heart melts when his blue eyes gaze at me.
So sweet is he to look at and to hold.

This little cat now barely eight weeks old -
he gives such joy to me and to my spouse.
So sweet is he to look at and to hold.
We’re happy that he likes things in our house.

He gives such joy to me and to my spouse.
He has his own small toys and little bowl.
We’re happy that he likes things in our house.
Now watch him scurry off the bed and roll!

He has his own small toys and little bowl.
He jumps at us, retreats, and then comes back.
Now watch him scurry off the bed and roll.
How playful is his every swift attack.

He jumps at us, retreats and then comes back.
My heart melts when his blue eyes gaze at me.
How playful is his every swift attack.
White kitten with curled ears – how cute is he!

Premium Member Flying With the Birds

If I were to believe in you, would you believe in me?
If everything that I promised you actually came to be

If I were a beautiful rainbow, a reflection in the sky
Formed by the rays of light as your tears you cried

Sweetheart I am just a simple man with a complex plight
My blessing is you’re here with me, as this quest I fight

Sweetheart you know I’m a warrior, though I live like a ghost
I fight and write living my plight, inside the belly of the host

From shore to shore, a forever war, that will never end
Just today I got the word the host has taken another friend

Another soul another goal of course another wasted life
God I am a lucky man to have become one with my wife

Pains insane it shreds my brain and tears my heart into
I’m left here asking myself, “Was there anything I could do”

I have to write a eulogy though I just don’t know what to say
Here is a soul, another hole, for someone who lost his way 

Sobriety is really great but at times it is truly rather hard
You watch them take another friend and plant him in the yard

Another smoke, another joke another party has reached its end
Here I sit in a spiritual pit feeling totally lost about my friend

I hope someday someone reads what I say, takes another course
Pass on doing that shot, love it or not, death upon the black tar horse

So I shall write my Eulogy falling to pieces about my friend
Who made fun of the man I turned out to be, until the very end

But that’s ok it was just his way, right up until the day he died
The one true light shinning bright, lives inside of you and I

So will all of you join with me let your spirits pen my words
About a beautiful soul, who found his goal, flying with the birds


------------------------------------------------------------------
Very few people in this life that I love enough to let make fun
of the changes I made in my life. Addiction (The Host) took 6
friends in 2007, 5 in 2008 and this is the first in 2009. He didn't
overdose he was shot a couple of days ago in Chico, Ca during
a home invasion robbery over his heroin debt. I used to always
pay his debts when it reached this point with bags of Meth. This
time I couldn't go there for him and now he is dead. This is my
life, my gift and my curse. God Bless you all, mj

Premium Member Trooper

My chihuahua, Trooper is from the pound
It was him or Super an older hound
Formally known as Chico
I changed his name to Rico
He snarled, and left with a look of dumbfound

The name Trooper sticks he has it his way
Super the old hound comes to mind today
So Trooper and I
Go out for a ride
Super, Trooper, and I are here to stay

When Trooper acts up, I call him Rico
Himself again, my little taquito   
I dropped Super, he’s now Old Guy
We’re off to the dog park close by
Just dog pound nightmares, they aren’t loquito

*loquito-Spanish meaning mad, crazy

Premium Member Flying Down Interstate 5

Redding Poem 4
“Flying Down Interstate 5”

We departed Redding at 3:45, 
In the dead of an October night.
Those tumultuous streets were morgues then,
As we raced to the deserted Interstate 5,
Zooming across the snoozing Sacramento River,
Going at a constant speed of 85, 
Passing the snoring cities of Red Bluff, Chico and Yuba City,
Slicing through the darkness of early morning, 
With the tule fog scratching over the countryside, 
Shrouding the distant lights like blinders on a roan.
One city after another, my speeding treads arriving
In dark sleepy Sacramento in two hours. 
With the sun not waking yet, but stirring,
The internal beast passed Stockton as a blur in time,
With other speeding drivers merging onboard,
As insistent captains of their own landlocked ships.
Then looming before us, the San Joaquin canvass; 
A devouring flatness five hundred miles long,
Of faraway farmlands sleeping overtime,
The majestic surreal banality of Central California, 
Magnetizing us, hypnotizing us to the hastening flow,
Of southern currents and windy traipsings;
This caravan of one, this golden fueled protrusion, 
Of the nomadic heartbeat; the inertly-moving soul search;
This final journey to the rapids of my youth, 
Where undead ghost boys still climb the rebar rungs,
Atop the old tower on the water’s edge,
Still spit into the blue, slow-paced river below.

Chico the Wino

He drifted into town one day.
We didn't ask his name
Or where he came from.
(Some guessed way up north.)
They called him Chico the Wino.

We didn't muse or ponder
That he was some mother's son --
Jack or Joe or Jim or John --
Who went over there
And couldn't go home again.

We didn't know what he did in the war
Or what the war did to him.

We were just boys
Not quite men,
But he let us be his friends.
He was old -- maybe 25.
His hair was thick and white.
We marveled at that
But we didn't ask why.
His skin was smooth and tan
Except for a circle
Where a ring had been.

He wasn't melancholy or grim --
He could tell a lie or spin a yarn
Or joke and laugh with the guys
 (Except for his eyes)

We found him one day on his cot
Clutching his last bottle of Muscatel.
In his other hand an ancient tin
Crammed with medals
And one golden band.

Somewhere a mother mourns
For Jack or Joe or John or Jim --
For the son who went over there
And never came home again.

Somewhere a young bride
Touches the pillow where he had lain --
The lover who never returned --
And weeps for what might have been.

The mother's son,
The young bride's lover
Were lost far away
In a violent land
And now Chico the Wino
Has at last found what he sought;
His war is over; Peace is bought.
