Long Unconcealed Poems

He just appeared to me, like wispily curling 
Chimney smoke, 
One grim and early morning in the very midst of 
Decembers briefest days, on the highest slope,
Toiling through my daily round; where, slowly 
Driving up...

The Philistine troops gathered up for war,
Between Azekah and Socoh amassed.
Israel encamped near in Elah vale
And drew a line against the number vast.
There Saul, upon one mountain, made a stand,
To face the other tribe across...

You're cracking me up, brah
You're my beloved friend flaw
You're everything I need now
Why did you do this to me somehow?
I'm a drastic disgrace...
Look at my smeared face...
I am bleeding like wounds never healed...
Never dealt with...

Here, this day, on this inglorious
Field
Thy vain struggles will count no
Valour.
All hope now abandoned,
Imminent defeat unconcealed;
Erstwhile countenance display 
Such waxen, languid pallor.
Surround by your dwindling 
Forces
Ye will but sadly find...
That the stout keep of your...

She senses before she sees
The manicured nails - the elegant fingers
Holding out the hundred dollar bills - enticingly - so temptingly
A generous nights takings of busking here
In one proffered hand
She grabs at it petrified it...

CHANGE
By Leon Enriquez


Change comes around
In a pin-prick poke
Sharp as a hard yoke
Not much of a joke
Off-balance, aground


A shaft of light
In a piercing way
Broken in free play
In a dying slay
As distraught feel fights

a place where love could live forever
when call out you do I will respond
for with your company I have grown fond

I will converse as you have shared your...

Our window bids good morning 
as sunshine winks her delicate light,
cascading against crimson curves 
as the yearning spoon is stirred
and dawn shines past a moonlight trite
Fingertips caressing,
hips that beckon a lovers moan,
A slow descent of...

Earth is but a tiny speck of color, spinning round and round
orbiting the sun in the ebon universe without making a sound.
Come and lay beside me in a meadow and let's pretend
we're floating in space...

In realms unseen, where hearts reside,
There lies a struggle, a turbulent tide.
A journey embarked, brave souls set free,
Transcending boundaries, embracing identity.

Amidst a world adorned in shades of gray,
Transcendence blooms, a vibrant display.
Yet, within this quest...

I’ll sing you dream songs
that last as long as the hills
but know this my love
it’s fullness IS
the striving of our wills

Against the darkness
that has crept stealthily
into the hearts of man
I cannot describe
this latent longing
to rest...

La Conner is such a pretty small town

That has grown and has changed for many years.

One of the first settlements in the state,

It is so much more than it first appears.



Many buildings from the earlier...

In the realm of educational activism, a tale unfolds,
Where a hero, young and bold, his destiny beholds.
Nurtured by government schools, his mother's embrace,
A journey begins, a pledge to defend, in this boundless space.

Amidst the classroom...

The peace of summer morning
    Illuminates the weald
And spreads its rays adorning
    Deep longings unconcealed. 

The merry birds are tweeting
    While flying overhead;
The misty night is...

Elegant fragrant they're a gift from God above
A most romantic enchantingly soft delicate flower so very
Unique and beautiful in every single way

But I walk along.
Forte to my cause.
A fort of strength…
Militarily built -

Gondoliers navigate these old canals
that saw much joy 
and cherished glory;
go and tell about your trades
and mischievous love-affairs,
when voluptuous women
enticed your many travels
and drove you into flaming passions... 
 
Lambent lagoon,
impeccably domineering,
but impoverished by a...
