Haciendas Poems


Open Toe Vandals

Now - lets speak of something uplifting,
Whilst not forgetting, even happiness needs sifting
Love's a fine tale, but this tale lacks words,
So let's talk about how passion is spurred,

Let's talk of politics, or mysticism, but rarely of sports,
Let us disagree with grace and smile with retorts,
We will mean what we say and drop the agendas,
Coffee shops and kasbahs are our haciendas.

Open toe sandals,
Artistic vandals,
Funny tongue twisters.
inspirational sisters.
And love handles.

This paisley laden day dream
Can make my heart beam
This is the reason to strive
Love's a great reason to be alive

Young Anthony

You somehow look as grown up as you are going to look, in that man's body.
Anthony.
A riddle of tattoos and feathered hair in cedar.
Leather, tailored pants and slim vests befitting European scholars with pipes, and fuzzy frazzled upward looks with 
noses in barely readable books. 

Would you meet me for an afternoon in Paris?
Water gardens and haciendas with exploding blooms and the sun for tea?

It's with innocent eyes that you seer the world.
One
Two
Three steps to the edge of old.
And still you giggle without drugs.
And still you snap energy glow lights in lime green veins and sing...
Pop
Pop
Pop...

You are the child that we should all protect and sleep as in our dreams.
You wake us from the agitation which might have been another mashed potato milk day.
Are you alive in Paris, or Rome, or Fuji?

It's with a certain electric, that we waver on streets and cobbles, unbeknownst
to sleepy tourists and railcars, just to satisfy our eyes with passing fancies and peanut brittle.  Tattoo parlors and 
broken glass mosaics in shop windows pressing our memories to age.

But you...

Young Anthony, young, young Anthony... we really should have tea.
