Long Merengue Poems

It's styles of a nameless brand pristine day
an exclusive star-sheathed shadow after 
overwhelming luminous glare fainted
a somewhat true-to-life footpath in
a back of structured quaintness

Encountering myself at a passionate spring
oozing its life gliding o'er its rocky...

I will love you
Regardless if you hate me because I'm not white

Even if your nickname for me is Spic

I will love you
because I can't remember a time when putting my energy into...

Many whimsical worlds ago,
In a matchbox by a tree,
A faerie captive lived, by name of Jo.
Her light was plain to see.

This good-hearted faerie lived with a bunch of elves.
That thought of no one but themselves.
They...

Like a sweet child in ballet
 toe steps glide across the archway,
A graceful pirouette holding breath and heartbeat
 balanced then suddenly rising like modern athletes.

A rhythmic cadence hustles across the days
 when life is simple...

I will die intoxicated
by the poison of sweet lies
falling from your cheating lips...
ah...
how well they lie...

on my warm and quiet shores, mi amor

nights turn into days
days grow...

I gave my all to thee
then fell to my knees
feeling robbed.

I was given Risperdal
that released me of rage
against my foolish ways
floating on cloud nine
that held my self-centered ways at bay.

I had to have thee
loving little...

Collaboration with Space Cadet (Wesley C.)

In him, I dance, my back strong, my feet steady.
I'm a tiptoe heart, whispered here in our laughter affair

And as we bake, the oven door is closed.

Perfection is a woman
Compassion whips world wars
Confront and slay each ghostly ill,
And men of steel won't...

It’s a wonderful pie; can you see it?
That sweet lattice top apple pie.
Cinnamon oozes from slits in its crust.
It’s the favorite of my guy.

It’s a wonderful pie; can you smell it?
Its fragrance is pumpkin and...

As Ring of Fire departs day's fray
Daylight lingers in bridled rays
Eclipsed rays through filtered haze
Filter through cloud's liquid maze
A cloudy fondue with sparks doth blaze
Blazing chemicals tinged with fluorescent glaze
A tinge of yellow into glowing...

By chance shall we dance;
Shall our toes and feet meet, sweet romance;
By chance;
We dance;
Fairest fair come here
Come let's make music 
Hits of simple movements 
Romantic old sway side to side 
Rumba let us not hide...
