Yolotli, the beauty of Tenochitlan,
She was a tender, loving woman.

You called me Memory 
not realizing that is all I want
I couldn't ask for anymore 
than to be a lovely memory in someone's heart
To be remembered is a great responsibility 
I will wear this name...

Of pacing up and down
   Looking for her nest
                    ...

It’s dark and quiet
Moonlight filters through ripped-cotton clouds, 
cicadas sing in morse code, and crickets play broken violins
as the night fades into day and the day breaks through to night. 
It’s a never-ending cycle of...

A beer or six here, a hit or two there, 
Many others play this game every day.
A few more and you'll be better than square!

A dance...

Now what does...

Oh, Gianna stella piu' splendente del mattino,
di questo immenso e misterioso sogno,
fatti rapire dal suo fascino malizioso;

Big secrets, in rose tinted glass,
the grandeur of life just a mirrow view apart.
A sweet fragrance of falsehood guards the heart,

From the flood we emerged,
formed from the shiniest pearls
of the deepest oysters...
In the ancient void, when the world
was only sea and earth,
without any inkling of civilization
yet to be in place,
oysters existed beneath the waves, 
which...

How unsavory are some words
when they taste of an intrusion
that masks every truth not told...
assuming it needs no apology:
please get out of that dream world,
don't accept a reality that hurts deeply...
does it make you realize...

When accidental 
auroras stroll along 
the pale highlights of
camouflaging corpses
and death blossoms
in vulturous hearts of 
dreadful puppets, 
she always holds
pixie dusts of 
strawberry seeds within 
october's obsidian quartz. 

Gaze beyond those
glass-stitched horizons, 
as she cracks...

To prance and dance on clouds up there
   And spend my days surveying air
   
I'd stop and...

A Diamond here on earth, not in the sky
His bright light helps others to get by

The shiniest of all shining Diamond

Such a priceless gem of...

I know all outward beauties like purest roses wear,
And summer's brief warmth like eddy breath fleets;
Shiniest pearls do with piling age outlive their time,
And give way to sad eternity’s far gleaming sweets.

Tales of more glittering...

Do you fear a world
unforgiving and proud?
Do you feel little or no joy living into it
when danger makes you shiver at night?  
Do you avoid jealous eyes
that envy your charming beauty
for silly and unexplained...

We file on through scheming life's snaring wiles,
Unlearning bitter lessons sad yesterdays taught;
Biting humble pies for blunders repeatedly made,
Yet unheeding despite like fights erstwhile fought. 

Our one-way treks through world's tasking routes
Are at best rehearsals...

My hand trembles as I think of what I must do
I have a washing up bowl full of pots and pans to clean it’s the truth
A site so horrid that the devil’s own machinations...

Most rigorous astrology can hardly divine
Why flamy galactic orbs often burning fall; 
Or the calm pull behind shiniest meteorites'
Hurtling lower from their neat nestlings tall.

Lady you are my
life, my closest
dearest girl.

You complete me,
you're my precious
pearl.

Your loving eyes,

pledges.

In your arms, I find
sweet warm solace.

Your love gives me
rest, from the rat
race.

You hold me...

No matter what mood I was in

So I would have the shiniest of grins

I stepped out into the dreary...
