up close a face, death
a strangler, choking my breath,
here you are, my wife says,
time's up, your crime pays,
in the grave, she stays.

Topic: Birthday of Mae Bernales (May 15)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Her nickname perhaps should be ‘Whizzy’
She rushes round making me dizzy
Right now, she’s unwell
But asked me to tell
That grim reaper guy that she’s busy
GAMES
parents
played with us
memories were made
with games as Mom and Dad
wished us to share smarts and fun
"play stays family bonds for life"
Today I’m thankful as we grow older
when our mind stays young and strong….
How, when our body tells us
we’re too old to do something,
our mind says
“DO IT…and prove your body wrong.”
Diminutive,
held in outward sighs,
control, curtsy, chivalry
with oceanic eyes;
Deep dreamer,
forward thinker,
silencer, sprouting poise,
kindnesses core respect;
of place, art and age;
current behavior
from bygone days
Japan stays.
"Better off", not "better than"
I was always told
"Do your best", "do what you can"
the story has gotten old
Whatever happened to my dreams....
the ones not so long ago
reality broke them, so it seems
can't the story change instead of flow?
Roses wither,
People age;
Neither stays the same
At every stage.
Leaves die,
Fabrics fade;
Neither stays the same
As it was made.
Seasons vary,
Fashions sway;
Neither stays the same
Every new day.
Snows melt,
Mountains quake;
Nothing stays the same
For nature's sake.

Topic: Anniversary of Danilo & Marivil Farrales (January 14)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
J-ust let Monday morning
O-pen the day with light;
S-unday shadows are gone,
A-fter the dark of night.
L-ight on sixth of February
E-rases the fog and haze;
M-ist is nowhere in view, as you gaze at the pleasant place.
A-nother dawn has broken,
Z-enith looks down the meadow;
A-s you hug the tree trunk,
N-ice long hair stays
A-glow.
Sylvia stays sedentary still seeking superiority
Sometimes summarizing situations so subtilely*,
Suddenly somnambulistic, she slips silently
Sensing some sarcastic silliness, soon senility.
*alternate, archaic spelling for “subtly.”

Family stays family
until the very end
Give no doubt or disbelief
to what a family is.
They fight and they argue
but they give their very best
They make each other happy
I really must confess.
My family is precious
sacred and adorned
Mess with them
and you won't be forewarned.
Cause family is family
no matter what you do
Bless our family Lord
for we know not what we do.
What do you when family is no longer by your side
After you have been waiting all these years for this ride?
When in the end it crashes inside
And you can’t go up, down, or around anymore
You retire this ride and find something new to be by your side.
You realize that they were never the ones you wanted to be beside
You realize this ride will stay broken so you just push it aside.
love stays
when trees in fall
bare of leaves. It's rays still
shine in the winter of our discontent
when moon and stars flee the night sky,
when hope crumbles to dust.
come what may, true...
love stays

Wisconsin senators fled the state
To prove they can stall democracy
Spending more proving their point
Bent on saving the public workers
Another day their boss has turned
Against options gained as rewards
Everyone is seeing the hard times
It is written on the populus face
When will we stop funding schools
In countries that feel we invaded
As if being afraid makes us safer
Nothing alone is something sacred
Only together do we return favors
She started to look white and pale
As snow and darkness started to prevail
Nothing again could ever be heard
Not a soft sound or a single word.
When death does come what shall I do?
Had given her all of my love so true
In future many things will still find
But I had to leave my love behind.
To me her death had never been
Some day soon will see her again
While my love for her on earth still will last
Face still stays pretty even if in the past
What stays with us?
Life itself?
That truly can not be
Life fades with time
like fog rolling over the sea.
What stays with us?
Gold and Jewels?
That truly can not be
Gold and jewels will tarnish,
and stay no more with me.
What stays with us like memory?
Since life fades,
And riches decay,
And all those whom we have loved
die or leave or fade away?
We have only memory.
memories of time well spent
Of laughter and joy and love-filled intent
August 4, 2018
Fragile joy suddenly smashed,
Shock predictable attack,
Little fragments raining down,
Cutting at me deeper now,
All of you are just the same,
How much more can one heart take?
Straining underneath the lies,
One more way to make me cry,
Disappointment yet again,
Just give up and let you play,
Let me down and tear me up,
Use me 'til you've had enough,
Pass me round, then forget me,
Just the same. You'll regret me.
No-one ever stays for long.
No-one ever stays for long.
