Yes Friend, It Will Matter
Say not to me,
that it will not matter a hundred years from now,
that I was here.
For surely I have touched one life in a positive way,
perhaps in daily prayer,
I've called your name one day.
Having no profound accomplishments or delusions of fame,
and leaving no progeny
to perpetuate...

The FighterAs beams through blinds half-open softly play
on mottled skin, and helpless, she depends
on doctors and on nurses, none allay
her growing agony that never ends.
Her dread is looming larger. She can’t rest!
She clings to life and ponders soberly
the reasons for and answers to this test.
There...

Andrea, I am a purblind parrot
I have to borrow your carrot

And I'm a Virgo; astrologically,
Stability has ruled me since my birth.
A gentle, mellow earth girl here you see.

One Magic NightOne magical night I endeavored to reach that beautiful blue moon that
Neptune was so enamored with. 6.7 arcminutes, as I moved closer in
Electromagnetic energies drove me to the archway of the heavens
Mesmerized by its incandescent light, I...

stability has ruled me since my birth.
A gentle, mellow earth girl here you see.

The placid hue her eyes were born
A flirty blue, her eyes
Romantic eyes, with whisper of soft lavender...

One Candle MoreHis mind asked his heart a question,
"How long do you think we'll love her?"
Without hesitation or needing immunity it pounded a reply, "After the stars cease to shine, we'll light a candle and love a little more."
The mind messed around and spoke heart's truth....

Story of My Mom From PicturesTelling tales or stories is a favourable pasttime;
But using pictures to tell stories of past and present,
Yours remind me of days back in time,
Would not be all very recent,
Last ones of grateful recline
To golden years so sublime.
You had an cheerful smile.
Mother, telling your picture...

The Circus Is In TownCome join the unraveling circus
quite soon to be passing our way,
with the clowns in a clamor to twerk us -
line up as they lead us astray!
Arriving, the elephant trumpets
agendas of aberrant acts
while the donkeys drool, dunking their crumpets
and twirlers spin, twisting the facts.
The big...

Congratulation Consuela Contessa SextonCONGRATULATION! – CONSUELA CONTESSA SEXTON
Constant you endeavored for a greater way.
You have achieved the ultimate and you should celebrate.

Lay back and relaxed because it’s all good.

Let's Dream TogetherI want it too
Just as much as you do
The ability to live and dream dreams
Of one day rising above this hatred
Whose origin we know nothing about
Same way our fathers knew nothing about
But which they endeavored to pass down
Admonishing us to do same
The reason why when...

An Easter VisionYou suddenly appeared to me Jesus.
You were sitting in the lotus position
in your raiment of colorful robes. . .levitating.
Your wavy long locks had turned grey.
You did not speak to me, you just
looked at me with your kindest eyes
and raised a cup in my honor and

Mother, Forgive UsMother,
I used to walk in dark places and know that I was safe.
Because I knew that I loved you.
Mother,
I have abused my brothers and sisters.
I have contaminated your purity with murder.
I have raped your daughters.
I have kidnapped your children.
I have brought your blessed bosom to...

Hymn For HerI
wanted
to write
a hymn
for her.
A poem
that sings
her gentle
songs.
Prose that
justifies
and ignites
her eloquence.
I've endeavored
to carefully
piece together
the 26 letters
of the alphabet.
Rearranging
these slices and
strokes to
convey my
verdadero -
my vrai
for her.
But I can't.
For her
poetic alphabet
leaves
me
on tenterhooks -
breathless
and bedazzled.
She is
a treasure.
A perfectly
cut diamond.
And
when I
close my eyes
tonight,
I will inhale her
enchanting prose.
For I know
her beautiful...
