I Am Anaya Poem
The center of energy resides in my heart
Wherein the seed of divinity shant ever depart
Their joy's root anchors firmly, yet lightly
In my I AM presence it shines ever brightly
The Trinity is embodied in three glorious plumes
Blue, yellow, and pink; It's grand sacred rooms
Of Power and Wisdom and Eternal Love
Father, Son, Holy Spirit; on earth and above
The Threefold Flame I humbly seek
To arrive at last to the spiritual peak
With elation I fulfill my reason to be
The Liberty Flame! My soul's eyes can now see
At long last I've completed my life's fated course
As my soul splendidly weds the One Supreme Source

I Am Anaya Poem
If vain thy earthly hopes did prove, thou canst not mourn their flight; Thy brightest hopes were fixed above. And they shall know no blight—Anne Bronte
Overjoyed
An amiable native of a temperate valley
Begins her journey with swollen belly.
A maiden's pangs of passion, flames afire.
Prometheus’ torch burning bright, forbidden desire.
Her love child is born.
Celestia hija nació ! Not fated forlorn.
Stringy, wrinkly, and with ruby red skin
With a giggle as precious as can be,
and an unrestrained ear to ear grin.
A gem shining bright, Ruby the name was chosen.
Her middle name Ann, tiny were her cheeks glowing rosen.
Transcending space and time Ruby Ann's ambitions took flight.
Intrinsically motivated—Thy brightest hopes were fixed above,
and she shall not want for love nor ever know blight.
A warmth rare, recherché as a searing scarlet stone.
Inspirational speaker, a sonorous soprano’s tone
Ravened tresses cascading down unruly.
Copious tangled locks flow wild and curly.
She perceives the wise in the callow and callow in the wise,
with youths' oval ebony, and soulful eyes
A warm and generous yet haunting sad smile,
that will rid you of your hard heart’s denial.
And with all beauty that spawns inside and out
Proud to say that’s how I felt, and that out loud I shout!
Transcending space and time, all have grown.
Success arrived, sans a family joy of her own.
Her uncertainty only grew as years trod by
'til new consciousness to explain why
A weeping inner voice calls out the universe.
Time wins unless the winds find the seeds to disperse.
The pangs of a woman’s desire have begun,
Riding on the lost carpet of a tune unsung
And with a heart’s desire to bring the joy
to a gem of her own, whether girl or a boy
Now with hand holding hand, a bonding so sweet.
He a tender heart she’d finally meet.
An intimate kiss losing all inhibition.
Besotted lovers in collaboration
Serendipitous encounters and rendezvous, they submit
to one another, and they go at it!
A chance at love, an affection so deep
Merriment relished together they’ll keep.
Conception has blessed the two of them.
Enfolding her, his family—his mother, a spiritual gem
A spark of herself, a dusky jewel
Inside her, my grit and timbre, a miracle renewal
A cherished embryo in a daughter’s belly
A destined native of a temperate valley
Welcoming the birth, life they shall unfurl,
Displayed is the validity of love—a baby girl,
Her eyes are Neruda’s two dark pools at twilight*
Gradual ebb of her father's darkness a birthright
This sagacious native child of a temperate valley
A native princess they called Zenzele

I Am Anaya Poem
Upon waking up this day, a single tear
Father your eternal immortality
Still proves wise and gracious
I haven’t been misled by popular opinion
Which should be taken with a grain of salt
You showed me how to expose the counterfeits
who foster misperceptions,
Which have shaped our faith
How to think with an open mind, heart, and soul
Father, your every word was a rare gift
A worth guide__
A teardrop of glad remembrance and a
Prayer for your soul

I Am Anaya Poem
How proud they put them on display
Two thousand of the first of fortyk
There President Bukele did say
They’ll live in the jailhouse for decades
he went on boasting, in jail it’s judgement day,
as he held his glass of brandy toasting
inmates, suspected violent gang members
moved to a new mega-prison in El Salvador
Transferred to the Center of Confinement of Terrorism
Mixed up, unable to do any more harm
to the population, it was said
So why do I care about these souls,
tears flowed as I read the article
about thousands of prisoners, and Bukele in particular
Central American country’s notorious pandillas
And right then I understood why I cried
Hundreds never made it to round two, que pesadillas
There are the innocent ones who are denied
a fair trial, it's sad to think that nothing can be done
for a mother's innocent son

Panagiota Romios
Spirited, elaborate and gracefully
She weaves with ease her poetry
Wistful, yet strong, carries her own
A starry queen on her exalted thrown
She writes to please
Puts minds at ease
Cinnamon and peppermints, I wish her well
Flowers and dance for mademoiselle
A true patriot, all Americana
A loving mother and Nana
Sadly, I drifted away from the poetess
Too busy in my world of selfish distress
Engaging in on a realization
That she fights for all and on occasion
At worldly events she has a feel
Who can dishonor a woman so real
I’ll read her poems and hear her song
The innocent lady, whose was right all along
Equanimity
Humanity’s dance of grace.
Deepest smile, writing dreams.
Upon her velvet finger,
Gleams a moonstone ring.
Iced glass of Jasmine tea.
Honoring the warm, melodious,
Whispers of this midnight Spring.
Avant-gardistic

The Mission in Milton Creek, I’ve acquisitioned
Converted into the town’s culinary mecca
Aptly designed and scenically positioned
Inspired from ancient recipes revived Azteca
An enchanting bistro tastes of old Mexicana
To lift spirits, share and warm the hearts
Paintings by Frida Kahlo the valiant Chicana
Every Sunday, an Institute of Culinary Arts
Christened ~ Saint Milt's in his memory
On the adobe walls his poems will be hung
Milt will live on here with love and glory
Mariachi folksong praises shall be sung
Welcome to St. Milt's Culinary Mission

I Am Anaya Poem
Encage us we are of collective souls
Display us in prisoned wallpaper as ghouls
Send us into these sepsis tanks, in tin cans
in torture dungeons, in faraway lands
Mistaken for us are the migrants
who don’t belong in our black hole,
ripped from their family’s arms,
and broken, it has a toll
Try to discern, unchain me,
give me the time of day
I’ve not done any of what you say
I’m here, do you not see me?
I’m tucked in all of your publicity
Before us you stand prestigious -n- tall,
your toughness shared inside our halls
Donning is the blood red Maga cap a telling of your gang
and Jackboots as they were worn by the Sturmabteilung
Wings reinforced by the sword’s blows, in your case
against the chains that contain, and any empathy inside
Keeping you safe an expressionless speech,
seal the deal it shall seal my unmerciful fate
Judged and sentenced without any assemblance
I see right through your imminent coarse leather, and
by the end of your reign, hard you’ll fall
And later the field forces in which you thrive
rotting torn in shreds, but still alive,
as shall be fathers ripped away from family
Have you not exhausted every remedy for me?
Infection is your reasoning,
concede for me and it shall be litigation of guilt
Rewards you’ve given, they’ve taken
and so, forsaken I be
Regardless of it, they have me in error,
as prison wallpaper
I work in the fields, a visa allows it
I wear pastel colors, a straw hat covers
possessing no tats, what of straw hats
What of straw hats?

Apache Ga-an are like the disciples of Christ, they were most highly respected
Missionaries condemned the Ga-an as “Devil Dancers,” and called them inferior
“New World” new beliefs, but even the woman and children were unprotected
Apaches totally rejected a religion where humans only are considered superior
Evil men, who taught they were above everything else, “The Chosen Ones”
Apache language was unaccepted, so punished when it was proudly spoken
Franciscan’s, Jesuits, Spaniards, Comanches, confinement, disease, and guns
Killed, called them savages, or their spirits and bodies were gradually broken
The dance ceremony is performed to drum and song, and mostly at night
Four dancers representing different cardinal directions north, south, east, west
The messenger, “clown” with a dual nature is the only one who wears white
Dancers represent mountain spirits, their masks prepared by a shaman guest
A bull roarer or whistle starts the ceremony to create an ethereal sound
The ceremony is performed at na’ih’es, girl’s adulthood initiation ritual
Flashing adding to the dazzling effect are the mirrors on the crowned
Apache, indigenous peoples, associate with spirituality and are habitual
Powerful mountain spirits and a comical teacher who heals through laughter
You may see the Ga-an rise from the flames, when you hear the messenger
The dancer’s bodies painted with symbols and patterns, stars, of here after
Today, more enlightened Americans call the Ga-an, “Crown Dancers” ~

I Am Anaya Poem
His intellectual achievements and originality have made the word Einstein broadly synonymous with genius. Albert Einstein’s brother was a monster, his name, FrankEinstein.
Einstein was asked to appear alongside the comic actor Charlie Chaplin during the Hollywood debut of the film City Lights. When they were mobbed by thousands.
Charlie Chaplin: “The people applaud me because everybody
understands me, and they applaud you because no one understands you.”
Einstein asked Chaplin: “What does it all mean?”
Chaplin replied:“Nothing.”
Einstein also began correspondence with other influential thinkers. He corresponded with Sigmund Freud (both had sons with mental problems) on whether war was intrinsic to humanity. He discussed with the Indian mystic Rabindranath Tagore the question of whether consciousness can affect existence. It was interesting to see them together—Tagore, the poet with the head of a thinker, and Einstein, the thinker with the head of a poet, as though ‘two planets’ were engaged in a chat.
Einstein: “Does consciousness affect existence?”
Rabindranath Tagore: “It can be said that it depends on the level of
our inner consciousness
Einstein: “How does our inner consciousness affect our creation?”
Rabindranath Tagore: “Deepness of consciousness creates and
expresses through devout belief. Are you devout in your beliefs?”
Einstein: “Relatively speaking”
Tagore: “What is your view on ignorance and apathy?”
Einstein: “I don’t know, and I don’t care”
Tagore: “I’m mindful of that, my friend”
And so they laugh and stroll off together into the great expanse, soul buddies in eternity!
Einstein on religious views; he believed there was an “old one” the ultimate lawgiver. He did not believe in a personal God that intervened in human affairs, he believed in the God of the ‘17th-century’ Dutch Jewish philosopher Benedict de Spinoza—the God of harmony and beauty. His task was to formulate a master theory that would allow him to “read the mind of God.”
I’m not an atheist and I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages.…The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. —Albert Einstein

I Am Anaya Poem
Immigrants why do you come?
Whether you are spiritual or mathematical etc. This is our Karma:
Isacc Newton’s 3rd Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction—Sir Isaac Newton
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy—Sir Isaac Newton
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people—Sir Isaac Newton
Dangerously nearing a very steep precipice –ran by the shadow in thy kings tarnished soul, he proceeds with his paper kingdom—I Am Anaya
Do not be fooled by the power
of the king, by the shadow he’s enveloped
Open your eyes to the shadow
He pokes, pricks, and stirs the fear inside
Drowning in remorse, regret, and sorrow till
nothing remains but the hatred
Hatred has the king for his paper kingdom
A tyrant evolves
Fragile like the house of cards
Tis but origami paper
meticulously folded
with patience,
is his castle
Immigrant why do you come?
Immigrant you must have dire reason
You’ll only find division, malice
and disfunction
So many dwell under a rock
blindly leading blind
Toward the precipice
Tis this charade! The king’s been tricked
As he parades his symbols
Dangerously close to the precipice
How do we choose
Who will vie for king?
Riddled by the law
not founded on solid ground
after all
The two dimensions
The jack-ass consistently
kicks the lion
discombobulating him
Heretical in families
misjudging the way of the world
Nothing ever resolved
In his paper kingdom
how should society work?
Whose ethical ideas?
Whose ideology?
Spectrum such as the left,
the centre or the right
