Long Fiestas Poems

~Under the Same Moon~

P.D.
Our days are different, living under the same moon
Down here in TEXAS, life carries a different tune
This world spins on its lovely axis
Listening to our Tex-Mex of our English lexis
We share a...

New Mexico bears the burdens of its once-sleepy past--
when awakened to join the current century at last.
To give birth to the fledgling Atomic Age
It still wears the perfume of fusion and sage.

They must go to...

Old Havana it's been a long time
since I felt your love.
 Your warm oceans, and your beautiful skies
up above. 

You soothe my soul with your island
breeze.
With your soft warm raindrops, that make
me feel at ease.

Las siestas son divertidas, pero dormir es mejor
Incluso durante el clima tormentoso.

It was a strange sort of day
A Heavy treacley sky
That seemed  too thick
For any bird to even try to fly.

The Fiesta of Fiestas

Deligent and intelligent.

The mood of thy pleasantries,
Wroth fables of dignities.

Is embroided with bewitching triats.
The venom of thy eyeballs,
Pierce through...

In Andres City where my feet grew up
Ancestral house draped nights mildly beaming,
I retrace childhood with gazes, non-stop
Where pillow fights turned into hushed dreaming.

Strange, most oak trees now ripped by skylines
And the fountains... oh gone...

in the church of the latter day pipe dream
the jungle heartbeat settles with the sleeping sun, 
the hightone choir kicks up a midnite melody filled with street bead jubilee

Seven thousand islands grace the shore
as narra trees arise , sun -dressed
with ripples humming a native folksong--
gracious the womenfolk, caressed
by Philippine beaches ever idyllic--
and exotic garlands spill from their baskets
crowning fiestas with decorative wares.
And boatmen...

Underneath the stars and moon,
cast the runic stones tonight,
invoke the ancient spirits
with fires lit for magic rite.

We claver with all lost souls,
and cajole in joyful voice
of fiestas for the dead
the year ahead songs rejoice

As the...

There is a dullness in my mind
I have tried to figure out every reason that I can find
Music, Yoga and Work on my list stand tall
Friends and Food Fiestas could not cure it at all
What...
