On day's like this

On days like this, I'd lie down
And watch as life drains out of me
But today I woke up
Wanting to get better

Cause for the first time in a long time
I've got something to live for
Something to hold onto
And I ain't going to relax my grip on it

Yes I'm slipping through the cracks
And all I can see

sparrows are like us

The sparrows are like us
fell from the dry, hot sky, first the male
sparrows, be because he was older than her
and had developed a habit of hunting near
the large chimneys at the chemical factory
and it was up to the young widow
she had been a fledgling the year before
to feed and bring up five hungry chicks
and if

DAILY GRATITUDE LIKE A CHILD DANCING IN THE RAIN

Today I’m grateful I’m still able live a life
like when I was a child dancing outside on a rainy day
smiling
laughing
arms waving freely
unafraid of getting wet
enjoying every raindrop
and ever step along the way.

NEVER LIKE THE ONE I COME FROM

An Angel,
How could you breathe life into someone so twisted, rotten to the core?

A Beauty,
How can something that came from you be so ugly, inside and out?

A Queen,
A calamity your face sits on a peasant, so unworthy of your image.

A Warrior, 
How can an offspring of yours be this weak and pathetic?

A Champion, 
A shame

LIKE CIGARETTE PAPER

My poor mother "La Daniela"
As they called her at the Casa de los Picos
In the capital of Segovia
Where mothers and children took refuge
In the fratricidal war in Spain
While their husbands were
In the war between rocks
Bunkers and trenches
In the Guadarrama mountain range
Particularly in its port
Where at the foot of the lion monument
Placed in the center of

There's No Place Like Home

I’m from Kansas. My name is Dorothy Gale.
I could weave for you a fantastic tale
about farmhands, a twister, and a floating abode;
flying monkeys, little people, and a yellow brick road;
a wizard and witches and old, yet new, friends;
ruby slippers, little Toto, and how the magic all ends
when the needy at last see they’ve had all

Nights like these

The rage prevails
On nights like these
When reason fails
And anger breeds

It matters not
The efforts made
The tension’s hot
Foundation laid

The venom spews 
From your mouth
You leave no clues
Of what went south

We all must guess
On what, the cause
To start this mess
And prime your claws

And even when
We challenge you
You twist a spin
Deny your blues

You’ll cease to claim
Where you’re at fault
Won’t

On the edge of a world unfolding like a softly whispered dream

On the edge of a world unfolding like a softly whispered dream,
half inside, half outside, its center remains unshaken.
This is the woman who knows the depths of her being,
emerging from within like a flame that knows no cold.
She carries her soul like a sacred, untouched temple,
protecting her essence from shadows trying to dance around her.
She

Another summer has passed, like a golden serpent through our days

Another summer has passed, like a golden serpent through our days,
Leaving behind a trail of footprints on the sands of unseen time,
Under the night sky, stars extinguished like candles of silence,
While the wind sings ancient incantations, whispering forgotten secrets,
Far away, in the depths of sacred forests, trees tell their story,
Their branches weave the old dreams

a day like other days

A day like other days

She, leaving the bus, had forgotten the umbrella
Strolls, her face is more African now
She has a walking stick, says it is for her balance
My love for her has grown over the years
I cannot think of the time we were apart before
We met twenty-two years ago.
We have Christmas Day here, but the

People Are Like Rivers

People are like rivers. 
The river water is the same everywhere
But every river is narrow 
In some places it's fast current
Some places is wide
Some is slow in water flow
In some places the river water is clear
In some places the river water is turbid
In some places the water is cold
In some places the water is warm

In the olden days, like about five years ago'

Take a trip to the west from town..Till you
Arrive at kryal castle..It was the first one
Around..You can see knights jousting? Sit in
The great hall.' I ate fresh baked bread there
Still warm, dipped in fresh cream..peasants
Fare.' To get a feel for the scenes.' For how it
Was in a medevil age, n'all.' There is chance to image

I like to swim, but how'd I get here?

For replacement election maps
Texas jumps when Don’s finger snaps
If he keeps control
Trump’s gold toilet bowl
Is where we'll all swim when he craps

A sunrise like no other

faerie kisses to usher in the morning

I Smell Like Your Perfume

I Smell Like Your Perfume 
With a morning hug. 
I smell like your exquisite perfume. 
Fragrances exposed. 
Herbal aromas. 
Just the two of us. 
With captivating moments. 
Your smile is like oils and spices. 
Your emerald eyes move me. 
You stood by me through the tough times. 
Dancing through radiant harmonies. 
When we grow old.
