Be Together

Being together is not living glued ...
      It is not to require constant presence,
     It's not talking constantly ...
      Being together when always
       possible to be together ...
       Have lunch, dinner and appreciate
        the moments together ...
       Lie in the same bed
       even without making love
       continually ... but it's having
       affection in gestures and
      words ... respect the
       thinking of each other without
       conflict ...
      It's arguing without fighting,
       debate without imposing ...
      In everything supply love ...
      Love to praise, to download
      or lift the toilet lid ...!
      Is to be doing on a daily basis
       things whenever possible together ...
       Accompany the doctor, providing assistance ...
       Be patient when shopping, at the hairdresser,
        on the football couch, in the armchair of serial ...
       Search the cooking recipes  ...
       and cook together,
        Laugh together whenever possible ...
       cry together with sympathetic emotion ...
        Respect feelings and ways,
        but look for common achievements ...
         Project the house, the couple, the future
         the children ...
         Be a husband and wife anywhere;
         At home, on the street, in dreams ...
          Being together is fighting, persisting,
           Forgiving, Relieving, Supporting ...
          And love, love, love ...
           This is being together ...!


Premium Member Azteca

Azteca

As a young girl growing up in Los Angeles City
My mother took me everywhere with her
Our favorite Mexican restaurant had great hospitality
Casa De Nina, I enjoyed the music and she, their famous platter;
Guajolotas o tortas de tamal
Desayuno, plato de huevos rancheros
Champurado and pan dulce de Pasqual 
The owner made us feel special, served us our usual

There were, Chicano art hanging 
Some of the most authentic were of Azteca
Roots in the primeval instincts enchanting                              
The details of nature surrounding, alla prima, 
A painting of an epitomal Aztec noble prince
A beautiful princess in his arms, bien fe`rma
The traditional cuadro stayed on my mind ever since
                                                    
There it was, in all places, the painting was everywhere 
La Marketa, the textile district, La Golondrina
Pintura’s de Indios Mexicano’s all about the town square
Olvera Street, even in the Mission at the Marina

As soon as I got home, I cleared away the furniture, 
from up against the wall
In one hand the print on the calendar 
a charcoal pencil in the other I began to sketch it all

A mural has to be painted in close relationship 
to the scale, style, and mood of the interior, 
With regard to such siting, to eye levels, a very good tip
Considerations as light sources, make realism art superior

I hid the paint from my mother and dad
Unnoticeable as of yet, I drew very lightly 
I worked fast with what mediums I had
Brush strokes here and there, ever slightly
Until a finished project, my very first mural

I took her scarf and covered her eyes, 
lead her down the hall and pushed the door
I whispered into her ear, s-u-r-p-r-i-s-e
Happy Mother’s Day, I prepared her a little more 

With her fingers splayed over eyes and lips 
My mother processed, motionless, in awe
Focusing on the corner at the paint drips
she said, I always knew that you could draw
An inspiring experience for the most part
Exhaling—she saw that I was passionate of my Chicana art

Premium Member In magical verses weave your fated heart's request

In magical verses weave your fated heart's request,
With metaphors holding the shy choir of light abreast,
When hearts corroded by hatred in barrenness rest,
And chains of thought whip gently the gentle flight's zest.
If you are to regain control once more,
When friends of yesteryear were but a lore,
Whose drab garments through time emphatically wore,
But forgiveness you've secreted from its core.
And if in hope you can stand upright,
Not raising armor before the liar’s project slight,
When rage whispers edicts as if to indict,
Melt it in calm, with spirit bright.
Show the world whole your portrait fair,
No masks, no regret, laid bare,
And if you dream of deep breaks in despair,
May you not become in others' lives a dismal seer.
When eternity throws its cold shadow in your corner's crease,
You should gaze with eyes that do not buckle under time’s caprice.
Every living moment in time's palm surely will not cease,
On the heart's scale, they demand to be released.
If you can listen when the truth is spoken,
Alien and shifted in a world that's been broken,
And to persist through the common lies outspoken,
To find faith beneath the frothy spray's token.
If you dare face decay’s embrace without dread,
Avoiding the gilded pleasure's feigned spread,
And in autumn whispers feel your stern fall ahead,
In the poverty of a sky that once display had fed.
Risk carrying on the die heavy, precious pearls,
Wager all that you've got for a fleeting twirl,
And then, whoever you are, learn not to hurl hopes like chaff,
Your failures become a path leading to something more sacred, more daft.
Endure, in a feeble body, remorse and persistence,
Wearing a smile as a shield, melting the tormenting ice of existence.
Cherish the moment that remains in unending instance,
With a soul lined in armor's silent resistance.
If you can fill the silences in empty spaces,
When shattered times speak with yesterday's faces,
Replenish them with fresh sparks among the disgraces,
Then you will build from seconds, unbroken traces.
And the Earth shall through you be magnified,
And all that writhes in its infinite tide,
And in this great shaken, you'll uncover as scribed,
That you're a whole man, not just a soul that's been pried,
Not part of the herd whose times have dried,
But master of the strength from your own dream derived.

Premium Member Still Unattainable

Beloved, 
again, I bargain 
with my unbridled mind,
seeking to find 
a smile 
wider than time,
and wild eyes 
like mossy tree stumps, 
gliding against light,
in exchange 
for all of 
my recollection's 
regrets combined.

A stranger's 
divergent eyes 
always disappoint, 
pointing away from 
the maze of memories 
that light up 
a late father's reflection. 

Bashfully inadequate, 
I project pity upon 
those understudied features,
each seemingly 
inferior to familiarity.

An uncomfortable stare 
doesn't prepare one 
for the despair of 
a persistent 
preoccupation 
with 
what is not there.

Premium Member Barack Obama

 
My favorite President is Barack Obama
            the 44th US President . . . 
the first African-American elected
he always stood strong and diplomatic
with his beautiful wife Michelle Obama
                 at his side . . . 
he is a lawyer, an author, a politician
always well spoken, kind and gentle
          loved all over the world . . . 
as president he inherited recession and two war
"I am not opposed to war, I'm opposed to dumb wars"
one thing I remember most of all he accomplished
                is the death of bin Laden . . .  
he knew how to flex his presidential power when needed
his two terms were an inspiration -
"I will guarantee you, we will move this country forward" 
          and still I love to hear him speak . . .  
in that powerful, strong pleasant voice

Seventh Place

What if I just let go?

What if I just let go?     

An Architect of Ruins: built upon an unpredictable,
Sandstorm. With full knowledge of its consequences.
The contractor's role in assisting with the outcome.
Was the price to pay as tools used to construct the
anchor that is already sinking?
This is the familiar toxicity of a well-known friend.
While displaying their fully furnished turnkey.
Craving stability, but chose the sandstorm.
Like cutting off body parts, then stitching them
together with thorn wires, suggested by the hired
contractor. Who has made it a wreckage, and now grasping in                                                                          corrosive  shattered sandstorm, having,
shown the turnkey project.
Subcontractors are now on the punch list.
Where is the willingness to surrender this pain?
These hands are the only thing that’s binding time.
Of your own undoing.
To stop the bleeding, you must drop the permit.

Premium Member It Is No Secret

It is no secret!
That this country is still racist,
White, Black, Yellow, Brown and Red.
When all we see is colored faces! 
For most our ignorance’s,
conjure illusions were not racist.
While some masquerade
 in an attempt to misguide!
Some parade to protest
with riot in disguise! 
Every day! Every day! Every day!
We display racism toward others, 
we deem difference than,
by how we think, 
transferring thoughts into behavior.
Racism is everywhere! 
It is at work, 
it is at school, 
it is on TV,
and all over the news. 
It is podcast on the radio
and on social media too!
It is all around us,
it surrounds us!
We project around with no realization, 
that were all racist, 
simply by our own fears, 
emotions, and actions. 
As stereotypical individuals, 
whose attitude reflects it, 
 were just too judgmental 
of others to recognize it.
Our own mystery 
is no secret,
 that we are racist too!

Premium Member Mirrored Canvas

If only you could see me, like the way I see you..
I've been around a long time, I have an insight view.
Your journey has been long, and full of ups and downs..
I know.. because I've been here.. I've always been around.

Your picture perfect canvas, may fool them from the start..
But I see right through you,  your cold inside your heart.
Everytime you reflect, your secrets are deep within..
What you project on the outside is mask of evil sin.

I replicate your visage, and the essence you imbue..
Unmasking every deceit, and every hidden hue.
You've gazed at your reflection as I've looked back at you..
Your mirror is the portal to all Karma overdue.

Premium Member Rainbow Banana Badge

Rainbow banana, we all tried to make the most beautiful one, the silliest one, the most disturbed one.
We used food coloring, all the bowls in my kitchen, and fingers which were soon all kinds of colors.
Our troop was competing in a contest which might lead to a girl scout badge being honored in our name.
“Rainbow” and “banana” were the first two suggestions, and they ran with it, being seven and eight.
This project was a dismal semi-success. The end projects were disgustingly weird, non-appetizing.
The girls did not realize it, they were shrieking and laughing, and loving the dye on their hands.
They were one hundred percent confident, and began designing the rainbow badge in their conversation.
I sat back and wisely kept my counsel, and naysaying opinions to myself as one particularly enthusiastic child announced that we would most undoubtedly be named troop of the world for this terrific idea.
Youth. Nothing like it. The enthusiasm and hilarity continued, as I quieted myself.
