An old stone built tower stands above all on the skyline;
The curves of its body twisting spiral’s in the air.
The moon shines around its peak, which reaches up so very high.
It is surrounded by a...

The Unwanted Priest
Only on his palm were cowries
And thread-cloaked bullhorn found.
Only on his neck we found
The coral beads of truth and courage.
Only on his hands lies the
Pearl of selflessness and
Emblem of Pedantry.

Nervous about meeting doctors, nurses,

The veil is not torn in two, but steamy adulation,
Courts their friendship sessions to distance,
Bible fanatic from...

My Name Is Ed
I've just tasted the politics of the land
with the same tongue
that yesterday chanted political slogans
for a diseased bunch of shenanigans

No Artist, No Poet
no Artist, no Poet
Vickie M. Ortiz Vazquez
I am not an artist
So, I doodle
Play with shapes, colors

Inscriptive, descriptive visual symbols come about
Recognizable shapes, not what it seems
Misunderstood at first glace
Driven by a...

Dreamer
A dreamer - yet they thought that she was mad
But dreams allowed an escape of reality, whenever she felt sad
Nobody special, lost in a fantasy world
Simple and thoughtful, yet no ordinary girl.
Her parents died when...

When the Dream is Chasing You

sinking deeper and deeper out of focus,
Self-healing with funneled darkness,

I huddled into the escape pod and retreated from the shuttle

By building dungeons and prisons with the tongue
Knowing the power there, where with every utter
Can subjugate the spirit and mind to the pits
The gutter where filth...

Indeed they lived in the last five years as if not
To leave again, forgetting that time waits for no man

Framed By Greed
Framed by Greed
A festooned and fractured peacock
More than just his tailored suit
But no less than the material made of
Caricature of broken records
He repeats the same different song
In bland and blithered platitudes
Fat millions counted in pennies
