Beneath the layers of the mind a sanctuary lies
that holds nothing but the emotion of memories.
The ocean raging above keeps tossing
the waves of turmoil that can’t reach the depth,
for they remain superficial in the realm
where the unwavering passion,
shackled by the steady resistance of self-belief,
impedes the essence of being from drifting away.
It’s not a chain that imprisons,
but a timeless acquirement that stabilizes
with silent promise of finding a stable place
where at the depth of soul the ancient mariner finds
in the receding horizon of time the ocean floor
where love once sank into obscurity
that still holds the heart where it belongs,
reminding that anchorage is the other name of being not lost.

Dusting the floor,
my broom wrestles
with the cobwebs lingering
from yesterday's sales,
all around the ceramics
the threads poke
in all directions,
I kick the dustpan
and the dirt crystalizes
in midair,
for a moment, it was beautiful.
Sirius, bright as always but
Canopus, closely behind.
The vacant moment
stabilizes,
attuning gravity
for the slightest
second.
The image painted its portrait
onto the walls just as
Starry Night captured Van Gogh.
Unlike brilliant masterminds,
the stars fall as gravity remembers
its role.
The glittering dots flake
over my feet blending
back into the ground,
the straws weak grip lifts
the dirt kicking it back
outside, yet again it forms
high up in the skies blending
with nature as it hides,
slowly it vanishes
as its memory remains
within the dirt, stars form.

If age is a constant then daydreams and nightmares
will cease to exist when the best of life is achieved
as maturity stabilizes at a level of immaturity favors
the innocence in confidence-mired ill-retrieved
those hopelessly enwrapped by rhetorical triggers
stemmed by the proposer amongst the ill-believed
'tis liken a heist at gunpoint to corner those regretters
to have brains (methinks) to cusps their mind deceived
and churned their souls to enter their relievers
and entertain the premature notion that they conceived
participants to ascertain the wherewithal of achievers
better or best consciously the line of inquiry perceived
to mull over and enter the zone as one of the leavers
to post with the best, to the winners be my best-wished.

How can I live without you?
Your essence is soothing to my body and my soul too
It's heavenly when you run through my oesophagus
You quench my thirst when my throat is dry
Your energy stabilizes my mind
I fear not of diseases cas you are in the purest of forms
Unlike your wanna be who are neither well trained nor reformed
This is not just an advert or me trying to sell
This is the truth I tell
Brayco Table Water makes me "Live Well"

To wed with a mood ring
To know the colors will always change
To love the colors as they sing
Of summer fall winter or spring
As life enhances changes our views
As we grow and engage gain and lose
The only promise is life as temporary
That Mother Nature is very contrary
So for the red rose in my heart
I will love you from near and far
For the brown moods riding my eyes
Will birth our children and save your life
For it seems love stabilizes
When I am true to myself and I
Know that you may feel me briefly
That you may kneel with me
And ask God to keep us clean
And share the first wedding mood ring.

He is the row locker that holds the bridge
He is the Bison that carries the load from the deck
A wall that resists oppositions, guards them in check
It’s been build to shield the back four
And plastered to cover up loopholes
He is hard and strong, José’s goal
This is the wall reinforced by José
His work-rate is breathtaking like wild horses
His presence is haunting to opposing forces
The fulcrum upon which the system revolves
Anchored at either end of the bridge
Is a wall that stabilizes a moving ridge
He takes up knocks and blows
Yet, never crumble to the ground
This is the wall that essentially runs around
He is a Mourinian, the rediscovered wall
Opposing forces hit the wall and bounced off
Ooops! “He hit my wall”, José scoff

Life changes, shifts, moves
A young boy looks at the clouds,
Seeing possibilities and fantasies
Cotton Candy at the fair
Castles, horses, and knights
Feathers and fingers moving endless
Thinking he would like to touch a cloud
Life changes, shifts, moves
Pushing toward manhood,
The teen no longer looks up but out
Asking questions aloud and in his mind
His future lies before him
No longer an illusionist
Imagination lends itself to bra size
Life changes, shifts made, movements slow
The man has seen both sides now
The fantasies and the realities
The good and the bad, the soft and hard
Now, he looks up to see the weather changes
The clouds reflect his changing moods
Waiting for clouds to cover the sun’s heat
Life stabilizes, shifting upward, few moves
The elderly man remembers the halcyon days
Laying back on the grass holding his girl
Alone now, the old man’s memories are uneven
Today, he sees his beloved’s face smiling down
She is waving to him---His tears are true
Again, he longs to touch the clouds

I kiss your lips
I taste your soul
I feel the real you inside my soul
our spirits remix
you paint my lips with your taste, your breath, your feel, your soul
your essence of existence now I feel and know
we instill to be still,
we combine our fates, unite
your thoughts cross-hatches mine
we twist, we turn closing our eyes to complete our need
we Intertwine, we tangle, we whine
our body, soul and spirit stabilizes as one
our souls intensify, fly
inscribed with love, we carve peace
we prepare our wishes to bliss, to pieces
as our feelings and emotions float with pride
the need to fill and be filled has been met indeed
our emotions glowing wild
our temperatures rise, surging high
our hearts pump thumping swift
our bodies melt conforming in rhythm
beating in synchrony to our feelings
the touch, the feelings, conforms, reforms, reshapes with a quick pace
our skins peel for healing, as ownership is achieved
we sink into each others soul and arms hugging
the unproven soul meiosis occur surging
we combine our souls evolving
as we descend with kisses of symbiosis .................

Sometimes love is pain and pain is love.
Missing that special love only confuses that pain.
You truly don't miss a thing until it's gone.
And the feeling of that missing element only stabilizes the pain.
At times this love can be misinterpreted with lust.
A heart never lies but a mind can be manipulated.
Which is more trustworthy and which is less deserving?
