And he dwelt in a house near a wall, among merry, crimson, oriole throngs.

He had a figure equally rotund and jolly, and was therefore loved...

I know of a river of more than average 
Sorts...
Meandering, when not dallying to maunder,
Between many differing contours 
And unruly contorts;
Where a privileged youth once
Happily sought -
Pursuing about his passions
In the traditional methods 
By which...

One time, when I was about
eight or nine, 
Poppa climbed up onto the roof.
He was fixing something
(I don't remember what)
but he called me up.
He wanted me to see 
the sunset
uninterrupted by the houses
and trees of...

A bruised heart scorned, sacred vows of a saint, sorrows of
unrequited lovers—art is what you paint—I Am Anaya

A Models Likeness 

Hues of magentas and white acrylic silky spells
Vibrant colors mixed from his palette he evokes
Swept...

I 
Throw myself into my poetry
Fling myself until I bleed
Until I'm knee deep in similes 
Until from my eyes seep seas of salty seeds
Spiraling in the double helix of hyperboles 
Hyper..
Hy..per..ven..
Hyperventilating
I Am the paint
I Am...

time of roses' blooms cower ... usurped magentas, aloof maroons,
for the flight of the gossamers ... assume benefits of the whole.

A Perfect Sunrise 


If I was appointed the task of creating
The sunrise you see everyday
On the horizon when your eyes first open
I’d prepare the finest display

Every color that makes you feel happy
Would be every one...

Memories of You
You’re more than just a memory tucked deep within my heart
 you’re the brilliance of the sunrise that cues the day to start.
You’re the rustle of the wind blowing softly through the trees,

There’s a box lying somewhere.
Somewhere in a dusty cupboard.
Somewhere behind old paper, older words, and wounds older still.
Somewhere no one can find it.

I think about it, sometimes.

Sometimes, when I breathe.
Sometimes, when I exhale puffs of...

As we transcend snowy bright mountains that thrill the adrenaline seekers
  Buds spring up around the foothills of these mountains and
populate themselves by way of white bells and other lovely flowers
  making themselves...

Lavender Love

Within sensual seductive skies
Our lasting love flamingly flies
Choral colors of romantic rainbows
Creating canvas’s in melodic meadows

I call on thee cascading colors divine
Soaking in magentas of worldly wine
Dining with angels in frolicking fields
Dancing daffodils as...

Arranged by their color, the tulips await
Every camera phone holder to stop
And capture in photos the dazzling array,
All varieties planted to pop:

The lipstick-bright reds and magentas and rose,
The velvet-like purples and types
Like the traffic-light yellows,...
