by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS

He just does not represent the people I know
He’s been there forever its time for him...

I have to put you away again
My Dear and Special Friend
Deep inside of my folly, a
Pleasure having you visit 
My Irish melancholia

You’re here, I am not sure why
I think it’s not locking up
These months you...

Birds of the same feather always flock together


A fool fools those who can be fooled
A thief roams the streets with his fellow thieves
The miserable saddens those who allow themselves to be miserable
The naive are played...

When the leader of a nation tells lies 
creating varied crises, chaos ensues.

It makes a very large batch.
And when I finish, there will be
Enough for my family, my friends, and quite possibly

Oh my little champion 
I know I am not a great mother
But I am competing with myself to be the best and that you know well
Now I do have the issues of inexperience and normal...

b’cos even without it, you’ll see my flaws
my new adulthood on your eyes is a sty
as my every late night makes you pray and cry
anytime my rebellion faces...

Seems I’ve reminisced 
The feel
Of a home cooked meal
Ducking the pleasures 
Of a sainted veil 
A clause in the end
From which finer things appeal
Black jack matches not
To a fisher mans luck
On an antique reel
But on...

When did this metamorphosis come about?
As I stand and watch.....wanting to intercede..
To be the one this little boy needs
The one who kisses the forehead, ...and wipes away tears...
It's who I've been....for all these years...
It's who...

Dear Chance 

Can you stretch your hand 
Put it on my infant heart 
Put it on my amateur heart beat 
Can you sense and feel the inexperience of my breath 
Can you sense and...

His old hands were calloused from all the many years of work and toil.

Seven days a week with no...

In that meteoric moment
she exhibited eternal qualities of wonderfully wrought womanhood,
calm,disciplined and candid,
adorned with few distinctions from the rest behind her

I cry I cry Promises I broke
I let my God down
I allow some strange boy in me
I barely knew him I scream
He was so aggressive and wouldn't stop
Tears became...

Age is just a number they say,
But when it come to relationships,
They take that back,
When it comes to applications for work,
They take that back,
When it comes to a sound mind ,
They take that back,
When they...

Destiny conspired and planned our intersection
So she came my way
And I crossed her path
Spontaneous love
Not hastened, not rushed
Her name, Peace
 My sweet angel.
 
Down the “apian” way we walked the walk and did the talk.

The older man pauses
Reflecting on his...

"That girl's eyes loved gazing into water,
in her doubly delightful vision,
but he was still learning the liquid language,
and there's danger and there's damage,
there's envy and derision,
