Long Gonzalez Poems

Good boy gone bad enters the stage with a spotlight overhead, despite being misunderstood in my ghetto neighborhood

The lonely applause celebrates in my cracked, corrupted, and crazed cranium
I exaggerate too much and so too much,...

I.
Cammy Gonzalez was born in L.A.,
a child of sun and surf, you could say.
She never had that much skill with the books,
but had been blessed with abundant good looks.

Like many women with looks that men...

Though not all sacrifices seem to pay.
Just let's remember the result we might reap,
To give in the best play.
And trust on with the right sign to give,
Everyone's blessed day,
Never...

INTERCEPTION

Shadows waning distorted fading
Teasing tempting, a psychotic hack
Scheming concealing cerebral deceiving
Sun retreating behind shades of black

Memoirs succumbing, alpha notes strumming
Hope dwindling midst each laboured breath
Dusky-eyed wretchedness, reflective reminiscence
Sporadic spirits predicting  sinister death

Powerless to quell...

A baseball team hard to follow
Failures really tough to swallow
Many problems from stem to stern
Fans' frustration in a slow burn
Managers don't know what to do
To get the Dodgers out of the blues
Too close to Hollywood...

Thinking of how her time in life was spent,
Realizing all shes been through
She bowed her head and said...

"Dear Lord I've been through much
But what I failed...

Arriba, Arriba as Speedy Gonzalez would say
The San Quinton Kangaroo Rat is dying away 

Baja California is where they do reside
On a little strip of land just 100 meters wide

Due to agriculture and progress it’s...

Silent tears that no one sees....
A broken heart that no one can sense....

Do you cry?
Do you cry when you hear the news that a child
Was beaten, abused, neglected, unwanted…
Do You Cry?

Do you cry when a soldier dies and a family is left
Without their father, Mother,...

Anti-Poem — “Baxter Street Monday”

In a house of bondage do I dwell.
Trapped.
Haunted is my soul.
I roam from room to room-
Lost within myself.
A prisoner of depression-
Lost to a lifetime of bad decisions….
Without hope.
I wander down the halls
Adorned with painful heartaches.
I...

Mermaids, sirens of the seven seas,
Guardians of Davey Joanne’s keys
Water babes, in rivers seen to swim
Young mermaids, now there’s a thing!
Kermit the frog, and miss Piggy too
Live shows, were all a joy to view
Donald Duck,...

Sex……
Joyful, deep, Healing,…..
Two bodies joining
In sound and movement-
Flowing, discovering,  knowing…..
Connected
In an erotic  fantasy of
Exhilaration and heat-
Drunk by the fumes
of sexual odor
surrounding  their erotic world.
Passion, excitement, fulfillment,
Ecstasy, rejoicing, relief,
Rejuvenation , rapture, harmony,
Lust, bliss,...

That sweet smile that you have…..
The image of you burned in my mind;
That soft, warm touch that you give me
thrills me from inside out.
I see myself up against you-
smelling your sweet scents.
I feel your body….

One lady
(married for fifty years),
tells her husband
that she is too young to marry him.

“Put that away Mr. Gonzalez!”
Once again he has allowed
a green leaf to dangle
from his dying tree.

This place is a home
for the dreams...

Strong hands to caress my body- 
caress my every desire.
This passion I want.
Take your hands and in your arms

bare skin upon bare skin…..
Feel the heat rise!
I feel every curve of your muscles,
