Love, ha love!

You know this love,
Ha this love is for those
who work at the devil’s workshop
Who have a heart to spare
A heart to hurt
A heart to pine
and who are ready to die for love.

As for me,
with my nose to the grindstone,
No, thank you!
Love is not for me
I will not love
I am not the loving kind
I don’t like pining 
I don’t like hurting 
I don’t like to feel lonely
I don’t like my heart to be broken
and forsaken…

No way José, 
if I see love coming
I’ll pass it by…
Hasta la vista, Love, 
Go smitten someone else!

Goodbye

Goodbye
Such a lonely, sad word
Sometime there is no recovery
No recourse
Just the inevitable 

We say it so casually
Then turn away
Expecting the other to be
But eventually,  they are simply gone

Final as the death of beginnings
Aspirations killed before realization
Unfriendly glares to smiling hellos
Damned before they start

I find little good in its sentiment
It is the termination of
What was; of what is;
What could be..if only

For there are better ways to part
Expressing good wishes--Love
Expectations of joys to come
Lingering with a heart smile

Hasta la vista--Until I see you
Auf wiedersehen-Until we meet
Arrivederci-See you soon
Farvel-Farewell

There are so many other options
So many ways to leave.
Finality arrives on its own.
Such a lonely, sad word--
                                         Goodbye



(So many other languages have beautiful sentiments behind their parting phrases, why do we use one that is so final?)

Premium Member Spring Is Coming Soon

Sweet, spring wrap your arms around me,
Place me in an emerald forest, green;
Rain, gently fall and make my world clean-
I run through a wildflower meadow carefree,
Narrow trails beckon me to follow their labyrinthine;
Gamboling, frolicking baby ducks play on a pond aquamarine.

Ice cold storms are gone away,
Such delight- the song of a blue jay.

Cajoling, coaxing mother duck tries to keep order,
Oh, in this nirvana there is no clock . . . 
Melodious forest tunes like a symphony by Bach-
Inside this forest nature blooms in manic disorder
Nearby, on a branch the call of a hawk . . .
Getting tired-  I rest on a sunny rock.

Shasta daisies sway and dance-
Oh, I am a travelling pleasure-seeker,
Oh, flocks of flying birds call to me from a loudspeaker;
Nothing is more beautiful than a spring happenstance . . .

The Exterminator

Driving through the neighborhood in a shiny armored truck,
The exterminator arrives, looking to make a few hundred bucks.
He goes from door to door and asks to come inside:
And he already knows there's nowhere the pests can hide.
The exterminator swatted a mosquito and says, "You've got to G-O!"
He stepped on a cucaracha with his boots and said, "Gotcha!"
Then he sprayed some termites and told them, "Good night."
He got rid of a wasp and some annoying bees.
"Sorry, y'all," he said. "You're not stinging me."
And after he roasted a housefly, he yelled, "Bye-bye!"
The people were astounded as these insects were grounded.
Although the weather was hot and muggy,
The exterminator yelled, "Hasta la vista, buggy!"
This handsome brother was in complete control.
You can call him butter because he's on a roll!
Then the exterminator caught some mice and rats.
He laughed at them and said, "You ain't getting up from that!"
But what about the spiders, you ask?
The exterminator hired them to make special masks.
"Praiseworthy work," the Mayor exclaimed.
"The neighborhood is safe and the vermin were tamed."
Our hero smiled with glee as he was handed his fee.
"Thank you all," he said. "And now I must flea. (Get it?)
I'll be back again soon. Until then, see you later."
And this concludes the story of the groovy exterminator.

DADLE DE COMER

Dame algo de comer
Que no me de con tocer
Ni de tornudar
Tan solo pido un bocadillo de tu ternura!

No me traigas bochinches ni chisme
Dame – en vez – algo de que reirme,
Una palabra de aliento
Para mi alma sediento
De un alimento nutritivo
De cucharadas de ánimo y motivo!

Sediente estoy en ek mundo
Que se complace mantenerse sin rumbo!
Me causa gastritis y nausea
Los pleitos y contiendas que no toman pausa!

Fulano peleado con Sutano
Y Berenicia de novia con el Cirujano!
El mundo sigue siendo mundo
Y el bochinche continua rodeando con Reymundo
Cuando es Reymundo quien debería haber saberlo
Antes de todo, primero!
Pláticas negativas desalienta mi ser,
Debilita mi s fuerzas y afloja mi poder.
Me aíro con los aíradores
Y, de repente, me junto con los colaboradores
Si no me cuido de los que bochinchan
Y de aquellos que chismean con sus opiniones.

Tirada y pisoteada, me encuebtro en el suelo
Sin un Buen Samaritano que me eleve hacia el Cielo
Para estirar mis alas con nuevas fuerzas
Y me ayude enderezar mis propias mesas
Al ponerlo todo bajo una perspectiva
Nada mas que positiva!

Hambrienta y sedienta estoy yo todos los días!
Bríndame pan y no de migajas – ni tuyas ni mias
No me cuentes del hermano ni del vecino

Ni de la familia ni siquiera de tu hijo
Pídeme pan y te alimentaré
De mi mesa – a tu orden – hasta llegar la lobreguez….??

Premium Member Unknown Soldier

The call of assembly long overdue 
named the forgotten from ages thru
From countless wars of eras ascended
pain still fresh, wounds never mended
The screams before the darkness took
Their lives blackened without another look  
Scattered bones in foreign lands 
dug up diligently by God's own hands
Heaven's roster penned the missing and lost
Those who fought valiant with a cost
Now fierce warriors all stood by
as summoned spirits filled the sky 
Hobnailed sandals, barefooted, steel toe boot
marched in unison without dispute
Foes in combat never friends
united at the battle end.

Angels kissed the blood-stained brow  
awarded each their sacrifice vow
Hasta pura the Romans’ spear held high  
A golden Katana bestowed the fearless Samurai 
The “Sword of the Sea” the Chinese swayed 
while a Viking warrior sailed away 
An Apache fighter reclaimed his land
the ancient Maori received his brand 
The Medal of Honor secured its place
on innocent faces who left no trace
Fought to the end with unheard cries
Fought to the death by infinite lies
Rest well Soldier, you nameless soul
your seeds finally planted in fields of gold  
Fallen heroes with deeds overlooked 
Final reward in life’s eternal book.

Premium Member Hasta La Vista

I travelled North
Where I began my nest.
I travelled South
On a ministry quest.
Not a great success,
But I did my best.

Then I travelled East
For a brief visit,
but could not abide New York City.

So I travelled West,
An abode of trials and tests.
I fell in love with The City by the Bay.
Some leave their hearts in San Francisco,
But I found my heart there with a homeless                                                                                                         
man at our dinner table in '84 on Christmas Day.
I fell in love with The Delta Breeze in Sacramento.
It's so much better than the Mid-West freeze.

Now, I am preparing to leave this pleasant place,
this city of trees. And saying goodbye is one of the                                       
things I most decry.  So, I think not that I will say,
goodbye, for goodbyes only make me cry.  I love
hellos and think that they are good for the soul.
Helos draw us together with loving smiles.
Helos do not separate us for miles and miles.

So here I am, looking back over the years,
reminiscing the dearest of friends we've made.
I must confess that the experiences  and the                                                                                                             
memories are not easy to digest, as I                                                                                              
become overwhelmed with tears.

Lico

LICO
Un hombre con pasión
A la humanidad
Sin temor a al pobreza
El daba a la hermandad

Carnalito, él llamaba 
A todo que se le enfrentara
No veía ni color ni raza
Pues a todos, él le abría su casa

No había nada 
Que alguien necesitara
Y que él 
No se ofreciera

Tanto él  como
Su esposa
Hacían hoyos 
Por cualquier causa

Un hombre 
Tan amado
Que lastima 
Que haya pasado

Con el señor
El ha de estar
Abriendo senderos
Para los demás

No es el recuerdo
Que tiene uno de su morir
Sino lo feliz
Que nos hizo por su vivir

Lico, en las manos de Dios estas
Y un día
Contigo estaremos
Descansando en paz

No adiós, Carnalito, 
Sino hasta luego
Pues al aire libre
A pasear volveremos

har khaab se 
har umeed se 
har arjoo se 
har khushi se

Death Jars, Nixes, and Rattles Mine Sense and Sensibilities

Father now journeys
into afterlife destination alone,
October 7th, 2020 mid afternoon
with Earthlings ministration did attone
where night envelops his lovely bones
rendered devoid of any groan
courtesy Roxanol (morphine)
and Ativan finding him prone

to experience painlessness, and no
his dying wish, plus last will and testament
won't include burial and/or headstone
cuz, he wants to integrate and did intone
cremation as ecologically friendly option
scattering ashes to parts known
someday... yours truly will too
succumb to the dead zone.

Stark reminder to live fully an urgent yen
to live life fullest between now and when...
ever yours truly exits
stage door left, perhaps ten
twenty, thirty... eighty, ninety, one hundred...
additional orbits around sun

a remarkable human phenomenon
(me) courtesy mine burning ken
bequeaths modest minute man
near accursed immortality longevity totaling even
score of years counting (crows)
and father time among his brethren.

Distress unavoidable which mortality doth bring
nevertheless, tis impossible mission
to eradicate pain and suffering, which doth sting
consolation assuages grief, viz prayer
and buttressing coping with spiritual wing
profound absence augments biting zing.

Biological reproduction begetting offspring
lodging within uterine abode
subsequent in utero development
regarding accretion embryonic node
biological algorithm doth automatically encode,
nevertheless longevity invariably affected
no doubt courtesy lifestyle mode.

Random crapshoot luck of the draw offspring born
genetic blueprints also decree existence transient
parents emphatically teach progeny
got no choice must inform

daughter(s), and son(s) ineluctably forsworn
demise bound with birth certificate presents horn
of dilemma conscious the next generation
granted only so many Earth orbitz around sun.

Once grim reaper deftly
communicates I must bid adieu
eternal hasta la vista to kith and kin
please don't shed a tear for generic
germane admirable bad company crew
member, albeit healthy as an ox
never got the flu,

an atheist doubting thomas
though genealogy records
incorporate many a cynical Jew
at least one legendary antiestablishmentarian
gleaned within mine purview
shunned, ostracized and banished to Xando.
