The words that I write
flow from a deep place
The lines I express
mirror the lines on my face
Some lines are joyful
other lines took their toll
Yes the lines on my face
on the page reveal my soul
I love my laugh lines
they are my fast friends
I can be a bit cheeky
or sarcastic, it depends
My love lines are softer
around my eyes they reveal
To the page when transferred
they let you know how I feel
Some lines are more tragic
they are my battle scars
I share lines on pages
instead of drinking in bars
Joyful, sad or happy
each line expressed is true
My expression as a writer
I choose to gift to you
Yes, all the lines scribed
mirror the lines on my face
They help me to navigate
through my mind space
Lines that reveal wisdom
are not pretty that’s true
They should be heeded
please listen to them too
Then choose to reveal
some lines of your own
I’ll see the lines on your face
and know that I’m not alone!
Endless
Unbroken, never breached, eternity,
“Endless” mystery in billowing plumes of forgiveness
With mercy “bottomless” black holes of torment and terror
Turned inside out - binding “limitless” pain with love’s balm
In wells of ever flowing living spas of water
Pure “boundless” bliss,
Laughs at sovereign margins or frame edges,
Sees through the binding seams of chromatic time
Into an “infinite” interwoven undulating rhythm -
Smooth flowing circumferences of rounded Pi.
“Everlasting” untouched
By greying flesh or cataract arthritis
No boundaries for the joyful jubilant
Hand of benediction
Not bound by sunrise or sunset
Above, below, beside -
An ever swinging pendulum –
Love has no grave, nor the ever youthful soul,
Through “eternal” perfection’s clarity –
Uninterrupted song sung in "unbroken" measures
Perpetual, unending platinum flame
Pirouettes like an endless aurora
Eternal, the enduring source of ceaseless light,
Kindles ever glowing sparks of adoration -
Releases mortality to infinite glory.
Prompts: endless, infinite, everlasting, eternal, boundless, limitless, bottomless, unbroken

Ibiza's St Eularia has a pleasant
playground square, the Plaza del Canon,
above the Carrer Molins de Rei,
and below the longer Carrer del Mar.
One corner, with its small cafe,
is the shady side to meet,
holding loosely to the doggy lead
sipping coffee, nibbling treats.
The grannies and the mothers
watch their children run and play
and splash and soak in fountains
at the cooling of the day.
When school let's out for evening
with Ramo's bouquets on display
Older children drop their rucksacks
and their school bags with their caps
to ride upon the nodding horse,
slide down upon their backs.
At five o'clock precisely
the fountains are switched on
where the youngest run and scream
between, one with his panties gone.
Flinging high his stubby arms,
head barely reached by hands,
And lifting an almighty shout
he let's a glory sound come out,
a loud and joyful Yaaay!!
an exaltant and a great hooray!
This bursting of unbridled joy
fast rising from within
has broken from this little boy
through his wide and toothless grin.
Behind him sits a naked demon,
St Eularia's fond Familiar, cast in
bronze he sits within a rowing boat
his hands upon two oars
with his genitals exposed,
and stick-thin limbs, his gargoil face
and grin, disguise the fears that should arise
but it seems that no one knows
real dangers that familiars pose.
This rowing demon waits for growing
children to wander and to stray,
to clamber in his boat one day
and then he'll row away.
I was taken by the contrast, against the light and glitter.
My mother brought an ornament; one that truly fit her.
Years of deep reflection brought a poignant scene to bear,
Beyond the joyful birth, she saw her Savior in despair.
There were no angels singing there a hallelujah chorus.
In fact He was alone, giving all He had there for us.
Nothing bright or festive, no joy nor hint of mirth.
Just a King in mocking clothes suspended from the earth.
She looked me in the eye and told an old, old story
Of a baby born in Bethlehem, a baby bound for glory.
“Every time I see the tree we put up Christmas day,
It reminds me of another tree that took His life away.”
“We cannot miss the truth of why the Father sent His son.
And we can’t remember Christmas, and forget all He had done.”
So every year from that time on, my mother hung a nail.
And every year on Christmas morn, I “walk” Golgotha’s trail.
Don't you love people like this?
With joyfulness,they do prance.
With dancing glimmering eyes,they give each sunrise a kiss.
And with life, they hold an everlasting.romance!
They relish you exactly as you are.
Also, seem led by a heart bubbling with humor.
You cherish them so, you don't want them to go too far.
They wink at themselves in a mirror.
Optimism sparkles in the dimples on their face.
Their personalities are wonderfully sweet.
They even serve your lunch with tactful grace.
Oh, send me a friend like this to meet!

It's time to think about just how
each New Year's day, I'll make a vow
to then improve on things I do
that will be better, and I pray,
they're not an act of whim or play.
I plan to see my year renew
with finer choices to be made;
the ones to keep, the ones to trade.
Consider, as I think it through,
what are the best ones I'll decide
to bring me peace and inner pride...
not ones I'll quickly bid adieu.
It's time to think about just how
another plan would soon allow
a greater year with a new trend;
new resolution meant to last,
not end in days just like the past.
Be joyful in the task, attend
those which I will be very proud
to share and talk about out loud.
I will resolve...be a good friend,
and seek those ways to lend a hand
in gentleness without command;
with care and kindness love, extend.
To give and take with gracious care,
and do all things the best I can;
to spread the joy of life with flair.

OKTOBERFEST
Wielding the power of the hefty beer stein,
Energized with viking-like biceps,
We lift the suds in veneration
In front of our patriotic hearts.
Lively band plays Ein Prosit,
Lips coordinate, resounding louder and louder.
Parade of dirndls and lederhosen -
Amorous couples enjoying Bavarian dance,
Resplendent in reddened faces -
Tapping, turning, with joyful
Yearning, as the oak and maple
Leaves change their costumes, and
Interrupt the Summer’s warmth.
Kamikaze arms tire, dropping their steins, while
Everyone laughs and cheers.
Tables set for a feast of Black Forest
Hams, Potato pancakes, creamy sauerkraut.
Empty stomachs applaud, then quake at the sight of
Rouladin, a savory favorite of flattened beef
Elegantly rolled up with bacon, vegetables, and
Sumptuous pickles. Tantalized tongues ooh and ahh.
None will be left, yet the festival lasts, supplying us with
October’s sensate salted pretzels, a mouth-watering
Treat. Need to down another beer
Or two or three…I’ve lost count!
Memories made on this chilly day,
Ornaments of cuckoo clocks and steins bought for
Remembrance will be hung from December firs.
Robotic we stare, eyes and ears filled with sights and sounds:
Oktoberfest is in the air and,
We’ll party like there’s no tomorrow!

Goodbye little rain,rest your soul in peace.
Your memories will remain in our hearts,
Lay down little munchkin in cotton candies.
The echoes of your laugh left in the corner of our house.
You'll be our forever baby, our little brave warrior.
time has come for you to leave,
Take away all our pain and sorrows.
Bring with you our hugs and kisses,
A cuddle of love and kindness,
The spirit of unconditional love.
Goodbye, little Rain,I sing you a lullaby.
To keep you quietly sleeping until the morning comes.
Until we embrace tomorrow in a promised paradise,
Where no more tears, pain and sickness.
Only joyful hopes and happiness arise.
#In loving memory of my nephew, Mark Rainier De Torres :)

Just as we breathe
With effortless ease
Automatically
Unthinkingly
Let our reflex instinct
Be empowered & distinct
Radiating love divine
Seeking to align
All who we touch by sight
With thought in fond delight
Both alive & dead
In books or on internet read
All with no exclusion
No discrimination
Equal joyful elation
In our constant meditation
Pure intent with but one aim
Awakening love in all the same
As vibrational alignment
With Ohm in bliss enlivenment
Thus moment to moment
Love outpouring omnipotent
As a mist of golden light
Heals & delights
Enigmatically
Osmotically
All touched by mind & sentience
In pure childlike innocence
Just as no name we assign
To the sublime divine
Person by person layer by layer
We envelope in our prayer
Resolutely
Magically
Until the meditation
Becomes our flowing orientation
Moment to moment day & night
Outcomes any our transmission bright
As the singular absolute vibration
Ohm with which we are in resonation
Self illuminating divine entwined radiance
Each in aloneness reclaiming luminescence
