Long No count Poems

Loves my Music-Song-Lyrics
There is nothing for you in my heart,
Sorry Education!

I have given 16 years of my life to you
Lost my childhood, sacrificed my most dreams,
Even my adolescence.
Just to pursue you,
But you have given me...

This is your moment

     This is the time when you need to rise. There is no back door to the house 
That is butted up against the hardness of your memory....

Being supported through a family
Born Leader in take charge
Family Component
Storms of uncertainty
Wonder into realize

Sometimes beaten, torn and worn

She's a murderer!
She sucked the life
out of her own child's frame.
Second thoughts weren't enough 
to spare her offspring's name.
I was.
I did.
They weren't.
Chain broken!

She's a whore!
She frolicked with more than a few.
No count was kept, though...

Nights spent, drenched in fear
Knives available, pills in abundance
Weight of the world, shoulders bear too much
Journey's end is close, any further, too far
Will buckles again, giving up once more.

Dreams revisit reality, rest does not restore
Eyes...

A visit to my village in the month of june,
all that it offers you is a very short day and a lazy afternoon.

       Soft whirring of the fan making...

Approvals I Should Praise

The rhythm of my pen knows no bounds
Its ticks, treks, and steps knows no count.
The songs on my lip just loose the count.
No where, I suppose to untie the bond.

Strong bones are...

Morning knocks on us
As I commingle with him,
My mentor ,with dread of poetic locks
With God, not of them became parts
For my thoughts still shrouded of secrecy.

Of no count are them
Drinking from the calabash of ignorance
Ascribing...

In my childhood days, there was a tree
living out in the country so much to see
there it stood right middle of swing park 
many happy hours spent there up to dark

I'm no expert on trees...

I am alone in this room
We might have shared
Sleep deprived 
Liquor store medicated
And emotion numb
Night settled in 
Like a slow dance
whiskey hanging on every breath
Keeping memories at bay
In this eternal winter
You have left 

No count...

tonight I will not be absorbed by the blue/black 
I'm in the gaslight
the hum of people, protecting me, unbeknownst to them
as undercurrents don't grab, for now
comfort exists in surface energy

within circling echoes my heart is...

How is it you can call me darlin'
then break my heart in two
with your lyin' and cheatin'
and runnin' after you-know-who.

You can call me darlin'
but your ways just ain't so sweet.
You gamble so much money
half the...

Honor is one and
sided
Holy books only read
in public
Women of this tablet
for joints
Young men woo at
their blues
Empty bottles
filling the salons
Daughters of doom
dance the floor
Mosquitoes now trace
treat the sick
Religious cups now
on warlock heads
Black insects merge
the whites
Children set...

A deep dark grief,
stolen your loved, that hateful thief.

Away from here that soul did depart,
away from us, away from the heart.

That feeling of barren and cold,
when a loss be there, truth be told.

A lifetime to...

attacking with achiote
burns with botanas
challenging us with chalupas
deluge of dulce
elotes by the ear
frightening flan
gouged with guacamole
heaping on the hongas
isla isolation 
jugo huge jagged jugs 
KKKKKKKKKK
langosta lunges
monumental mezcal
no count nopalitas 
organized ostion
pummeling pepino
quivering quesadillas
rebelling relleno
sandia sword...
