It ain’t heavy it’s my boulder
One must imagine Sisyphus’s
boulder, marble-sized these days
And Ozymandias’ plaque,
spinning despair into praise
Look on, ye hypocrites,
and sneer at my undoing
Your universe is a giant sandpit,
entropy accruing
Their legacies long crumbled,
eroded by rust
Gods built the wrong way,
on scaffolds of dust
Virtue or vice register
equally the same
Except between stars,
there’s space for one more

Old boulder
I've been yearning
to know the winds routine
I've learnt your skyward motion
put away your chemise
unburden your soul
soon you will be sailing
running aground
is there disarray
to cut away this old boulder ?

South Boulder Road
The summer sea sky has traveled inland
and the rolling of the Spanish hills make me hungry for adventure
I am feet on the dashboard, a mouth full of salt water,
a nosebleed that is somehow romantic
I am lost in the vast wilderness of summertime,
the gray-green galaxies of 9 PM daylight,
and all I see

Rock On
Don’t take for granite who you are
Just be a little boulder
Remember that you’re made of stars
And someday when you’re older
You may be a marble statue
That the pebbles gaze upon
And the world shale marvel at you
And of quartz you will rock on.

The Giant Boulder
And there it comes crashing down all the way to midfield bearing an anchor and a crown and an inscription buried in the ground that reads epitaph of a derailed dream. Thousands pack the soccer stadium waiting anxiously for the match to begin; at the brawling sound whistle of the boys began sing. They spread

Shoulder
They can be a lot heavy: The Shoulder;
By the dying felt like boulders;
And one keeps groaning: The Carrier,
As their weight become scarier!
They are the parts we hold high
And passers-by confront confidence
We lower them and there’s “A why?...
On-lookers sniffing diffidence
When shoulders portray blocks,
One has been frequenting the gym
And if

Pushing his boulder
Sisyphus retired to the valley
And there he yearned
To be the ball return
In the bowling alley

Boulder Colorado Shootings
A tragic mass shooing has occurred once more.
This time, in a Boulder, Colorado grocery store.
Today, it seems there is no safe place to go.
Incidence of gun violence seems to grow.
The number of murdered victims amounted to ten.
It looks like we cannot keep this from happening again.
From a news story found on CNN.com

Crushed
When will my boulder become too heavy for you
to push up this mountain?
Crushing you
the beetle underneath the heel of my misguided foot
When will you look down at your hands
to see the scarlet wounds in your flesh
your skin crying crimson tears
All because you were trying to repair the glass vase
that a child carelessly threw on

Sitting On a Boulder
I was sitting on a boulder
Up in the mountains one fine day,
Looking all around at nature’s
Display of mountains, trees and sky,
Valleys and rivers down below
During my Wednesday lunch break hour.
How fortunate we are to come
From our cities and towns below
Away from their hustles, bustles,
Noise and their concrete jungle lives
And be able to see, enjoy
This

Hard Head Like Big Boulder
Hard Head Like Big Boulder
Trump had hard head like big boulder;
Was ostentatious as he became older;
We could not resist;
Scratched from list;
He set fires that soon would smolder.

The Boulder
Since I left, you still govern my mind,
like a rogue actor
that dictator who rules
an abandoned stage....
Like Sisyphus, I push you up the hill,
after I contain the essence of you in the boulder.
No punishment was greater than meeting you,
I wait for the moment when the boulder rolls away forever,
only then will the feather of

Our Boulder
A lovely flower dowsed upon the lethargic rocks
Gruesome idiocy lead to the battlefield of soldiers
Cynical viewpoints closed like a lock
Peace crushed in between the burdened boulders
Fickle truces built upon greed
Fighting oneself is our demise
It's usually about what you and your family need
How sorrow does arise
To whom are we really fighting
If we are only fighting our
