Essence of the Moment

Flashbacks: 1995 in the Beginning

2008-01-19T08:56:00.000-08:00

This is the year I started to submitting my poetry to publishers and poetry collections that were contests to get into their books that they had every year. This was a time that I was in a transition in my life and I was in my first year of college and I was going through some life decisions that actually landed me here in Washington DC.

Please enjoy this flashback into my life. You will be looking into a portal that will show you a passage to my heart in 1995. Please enjoy these poems.

Poem I: PAIN FROM WITHIN

Pain comes from many places
Pain which hurts the most comes from within
Pain is like a cancer that eats a little each time
Pain grows each year until I die from the pain
One day it will end my life
Pain inflicts thoughts of depression and guilt
Pain someday gets to much and I explode
Pain causes me to find ways to Relieve the Pain
But Pain does not go away
Just subsides until tomorrow or next week
Pain is a disease that wont go away
Pain

December 1995

Poem 2: Emotions of Depression

Depression comes from within
Melancholy sets in first which dampens the spirit of life
Sorrow spreads affecting the heart first
Sorrow spreads affecting the heart first
Sorrow shuts down the heart and you retreat to within
Sorrow starts affecting the brain making you think
About what is wrong with you but really nothing is wrong
It is just all in your head
You must control your thoughts or else you will start
Thinking bad thoughts like
Sacrificing your life to relieve the depression
You carry the depression the your grave when you take your life
Depression must be overcome and destroyed by
Talking to your friend your parents about your problems
Depression can be destroyed only by you getting help
Depression

December 1995

Poem 3: Dreams

Dreams of beauty and imagination
Dream worlds of creation and paradise
Spirits of joy play within human minds
Darkness arises around us
Yet we lighten the night with our dreams.
Goals and Dreams are created
At night within human complex lives
The goal is easier to accomplish
When you dream it first
Most of all what is happier?
To do your dreams and goals as you live
Or to accomplish your dreams and goals
Dreams are very beautiful
To humans it is the most important
Or to accomplish your dreams and goals.
Dreams are very beautiful.
To humans it is the most important
Without dreams life would end.
To all the dreams
May life bring your dreams to become true

January 1996

Poem 4: Lonely Being

Loneliness filled my existence
I flutter upon my life
Wondered for five years in Anguish and nights shadow
As I wait for the right one that will grasp and cuddle my heart
Along awaited love and lust
As my soul awaits for the individual that can love me for the person
I am in my being
As my being dies each day I await for the loving soul that will take me
To my eternal paradise

January 1996

Poem 5: Grasping Thoughts

Thoughts of confused filled ideas grasp my heart
Remedies of past relationship imprison my mind
Beauty wrench's at my heart of thoughts
Thoughts of beautiful loving memories fill my heart
Thoughts of pain filled memory corrupts my heart and soul
My light of vibrant love and logic fades away
Mist of beauty and love slips into my feelings
Falling into a hole of thought filled lions and tears at my spiritual
being.
I lose grasp and drop into a depression that imprisons my soul
As my heart bleeds upon the fruit of emotional feeling.

Feb. 1996

Morning Cool

2007-08-27T05:31:00.000-07:00

In the morning dew
How I feel the softens
Softens of Mother earth
How I feel her all around

I miss the fall coolness
How I miss the summer moments
But not the heat
How I feel the lose of a soul
I want to be touched again
with beautiful memories
Of time and space

How I want to be loved
How I want to be touched
I want to feel the blanket
Of the winter nights
Cold and to feel
CIder of apples
Families together

How I feel my love
At a distance
How I miss the summers
Of moments of life
How I miss it all
How I...

Earthly Soul

2007-08-23T05:19:00.000-07:00

Her beauty
Her locks of hair
I peer into her heart felt eyes
Beatuiful brown
As deep as the deepest sea
A sea of emotions and love

How I see my soul with you
My love, I peer into you
I Feel you all around
Touch by you
Loved by you

Earthy Eyes
A heart of gold
Loving children
Love me
Touching me
Feeling me
grasping my feelings
My soul

As brown as the ground
As ground as the rock below
I peer upon the apexes of mountains life challenges
And always know you will ground me
With your soul and love

You keep me on earth
You keep me going
You keep me from going 6 ft under
Or bleeding my heart
To death

How I am touched
Touched by you
Love
Those Earthly eyes
That Earthly Soul

Flooded Soul

2007-08-22T08:05:00.000-07:00

Lost valor
taken dreams
A river of life
As I fell off the stepping stones
I felt pain in my bones
as I fell upon the stones
that broke my fall into the water

I would never make it
I was pushed
I kicked in the face
I was stabbed in the side
with the dagger of cheating
She stabbed me three times
Three times so got me

Three times I fell
I never made it.
I was left for dead

The ravens waited
as the river rapids
took me each time from the shattering stepping stones
Across to the bank of prosprity
I cried
No one heard

I felt my bones in my legs broken
Snapping as I tried to get up

Then...

THe wave took me and I went under
to sink deeper
as the currents take me under
Under I went
darker and dark
it became

then I was just floating there
sinking.
Sinking
as My river of life
Flooded
Drowned
My soul

Broken Chisel

2007-08-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

Rusty
Marble dust all over
What have I done?

Where am I?
My studio a wreak
Where is my creation?
that Sculpture

As I see
I remember
THe blurring gone away
She, my sculpture
Marble now flesh

Tore my place about
THe love, the beauty
I gave her support
I gave love
I cooked; I cared

That last stike tore my chisel apart
My hammer aflamed
ashes metal and wood
A tear hit the ground

As I parish into the ground
That broken chisel
as I stare into the broken mirror
A mirror of memories
A mirror of broken dreams
A path torn and over grown

That broken chisel that shows our love
Broken in two; No longer one
But two separate people now
broken
two pieces
of chisel
broken

22nd Rain

2007-08-22T07:55:00.000-07:00

Drizzle of my tears
Upon the dance of sorrow
Where is she?

Say the sadness of rain
Torques my heart
Pulls my stomach
Llike a sea journey
always throwing my insides
Insides into the sea
For fish food

Drizzling Moments
Of Sorrow
Of Pain
Love, used against me

Nuking my own lands
Decieving me
She did
Tearing heart
Using my own weapons
To get me
When I was not aware
The weakest

That 22nd rain
Leaving impressions
Upon my skin of my heart

22nd
Of sadness
Heartfelt scares
that whore
Heartless pig

Acting like a dog
Humping anything that walks
As she humps another married dog
Not caring for other people feelings
Not know the sadness
The pain
The wreakage all around

That rain
washing the dirt off
Unburying a bone or two

That rain
of the 22nd

August 21

2007-08-21T06:55:00.000-07:00

Pouring, Dripping, Sheets of wetness
Soaking my bones
My knee

Remembering that day
Of moving
Just me and my brothers
Sean and Mathew

Both of ethe essences
of the word
Brothers

How I feel them within
All around my soul
A part of the same
the Same tree
A tree of love
Brotherhood
The concept of helping
Giving back

August 21 a day of impressions
A day of oracles
Of crystal balls
Falling from the sky
Dancing of moments
From the past
the present
the future

How I feel the future all around
The beauty of those
Those summer nights
Feeling her
Next to me

Now it is only a memory
A rain drop
From God
From above
From heaven

August 21
A day of memories

Lovers Point

2007-08-21T05:47:00.001-07:00

Two souls
Two Hearts
Forbidden Love
Female soul
Bestowed to another

A Romeo that she met
Fell in love
Father denied the bond

The two Run away
The families search
Finding them at the top
A top of a cliff
Over the ocean
A cliff that bonded the two
In death

The waves
Caught the two souls
Washing their souls
To eternity
To God’s home
To take the souls of love
A way to a field of lovers
To play forever
Because her father forsaken it

In Guam
There is a cliff
Where lovers touch for the first time
Under the stars and the moon
Where the two lovers
That fateful night
To their souls of love
Into the stars of
The deep blue ocean
Of emotional thought
Emotional love

Into the stars
Of the night sky

The Latte Stone

2007-08-21T05:46:00.000-07:00

Riding bikes
In the heat
In the humidity
How I was only 12
On a burgundy bike
Two wheels go round and round
Upon the asphalt
Towards the Latte Stone
A place on Anderson AFB

Opening
Closing
Putting my quarters into the machine
From 1943 to Double Dragon
How I played my quarters away
Trying to save the girl in distress
To flying a plane to beat the bad guys

Herbert my Partner
A friend of life
Played my partner on Double dragon
It was hard at the time
Easy now
Or I hope
If I ever play it again
Especially when it came out for the Ninetdo 64

Those days
That Pizza
Those Arcade games

Latte stone of great Memories

Chamorro

2007-08-21T05:45:00.002-07:00

Ancient Race
A race mixed with rich diversity
May changes and many modifications
People of the jungle
Of the ocean
Slinging stones
Latte Stones to hold up their huts

Hooks made of Shell
Palm branches to make a thatched roof
Shelter from the rain
A language of rich culture
Of ancient Spanish dreams
Of Asian origins

Chamorro similar but so different from Spanish dilect
Chamorro that was almost wiped out during the Spanish
Threaten to be extinct during the Japanese occupation
A people of beauty
A people of the earth
Of the jungle
Rich in catholism
To the richness of WWII
A culture of exotic wildlife to food

Chamorro
A people of the sea
Of the island

Chamorro

Latte Stones

2007-08-21T05:45:00.001-07:00

Tall, Ancient, Mysterious
Stones of under thought
Standing tall
After all is gone
Use to hold up houses
House of the ancient world
Of the Native People
Before the Spaniards
Or anyone else

Made of stone
Made of ancient forgotten wisdom
Where they come from?
How did they get it from there?

Missing information
Missing parts

Wonders on a island
Known as Guam
Two hour ride around
360 degrees
Carpeted with jungle
Latte stones standing tall
Hidden in the dark green Jungles

Latte stones made of stone
From under water
200 mile away in the middle of the floor

Latte Stones

Clear Blue Oceans

2007-08-21T05:43:00.000-07:00

Waves
Crest
Within my thoughts and mine
I peer upon the beauty of my soul
As I see the flying Dolphins
Within the underworld blue
Underworld blue of an upside down sky
Where the fish are birds with fins that help them fly
Into the waves of emotional currents
As I feel the wave of life go through and through
Within my soul
Within my mind
White on top
White through and through
How I miss the Blue Oceans
All around
Seeing the Dolphins jump naturally in the air
Within my mind
Within my thoughts
Missing those blankets of blue
As clear as my soul could be
As my mind feels the waves
How I miss those ocean blue
Upon my feelings
Upon my Heart

Waves
Smiling Dolphins
Flying in the blue
Under my thoughts
Under my heart
Crests of feelings
Crest of thought

Clear Ocean Blue

Grey Shades

2007-08-08T12:34:00.000-07:00

Staining Shadows of Grey
Upon my soul of my paper
Capturing my impressions of life
Feeling the love and adoration
Upon the soul of paper
Taking on my interpretation

Thoughts
Lingering thoughts
Upon my feelings
Upon my hopes
Grey
Grey as the fuzziness
Of your soul
Of my soul
As I draw my heart
Bleed my impressions
Upon the surface
Of my heart

Grey shades
Of what to understand
Why do I fall in grey shades
Sadness
Covering my soul
As the drapes of
life grasp my heart.
My soul
My love
Of one heart
One soul

Shades
Where my fears hide
Where my hurt lies
Grey
As I linger in pain
Upon the rock of thought
Reflection
What have I done
As I finish the picture
The drawing
I break my pencil
Stabbing my own heart
Knowing I drew my feelings
My thoughts
Upon the surface of my skin
On my paper

A Seed is Planted

2007-08-08T12:03:00.000-07:00

There he was
2006 he walked
Walked into my Garden
Such raw talent
Within his soul
Within his traditions
His pride
As a Mexican
As well as a Puerto Rican

His colors bleed from ever pore
He stood in my presence
Wanted a mentor
Wanted to be polished
Like a raw gem stone
I planted knowledge in his soil

There it grew with nurturing guidance
A love for a mentiee
He became a young tree of knowledge
In the future he took over for me
As my limbs grow weak
As the sun hardly shines on me

No more love
As the lumberjack comes for me
My wood is old
As the harvest me
The cut me to pieces
Society recycles the old
Not worth anything

Taken cut up to die
To leave the young tree
to be the next leader of his art
Of his life.

I have done all I could do
I planted a seed
To grow strong
and tall
To one day plant a seed
Within a furtile ground

A seed is planted
Knowledge
Passing of it all.

King Tut

2007-08-08T11:58:00.000-07:00

We walked
Friends
5 in all
Hot
Road trip
To Philly we go
To the liberty
As we walk in front
Of Constitutional Hall
Feeling the history all around
All over

Ancient Eygpt
King Tut
To his mom
To his father
Tradition he tried to restore
9 he took the throne
Not sure how he died
Was it poison
Was it murder
Assignation

Carter to Cairo
To Africa
Worlds feats
Mysterious
Science can not even explain

She was there
She had my heart
We walked in childhood memory
My best friend
To my future wife
We walked in hand
We took pictures
We held hands
We talked
We saw

memories with
Ancient Eygpt
With a King
Tut in our thoughts
In our walk
2007
We walked into the past
Into the future

She walked...

Once...

2007-08-08T11:49:00.000-07:00

Once she stood in front of me
... As solid as a rock

Once she stared at me
... The peer of the glittering soul

Once she hold my hand
... the softness of her fingerprints

Once she kissed my lips
... it felt like an eternity

Once she ate Pears with me
... Covering my tastebuds in texture

Once she fed me
... With a fork that filled my void

Once she drank wine with me
... As we filled our soul of the nectar of god

Once she walked with me
... In Baltimore's Inner Harbor
... To the Liberty Bell
... Finally the Lincoln Memorial

Once she made memories with me
... We shared memories
... We shared tears
... We loved together

Once she walked the same sidewalk
... On concrete for 10 weeks
... Now I walk her to the angel that flies in the sky

Once she landed at the airport
... now she is taken away by the angel from above

Once she was here
... now she is there in San Antonio

Once we kissed
... Now it is a faded Memory

Once...

Moments

2007-07-26T08:57:00.000-07:00

Peering, Peering
Peering into the nights starry sky
I stare into the tranquil waters of emotions
Liquid emotions in the souls of life.

I look into your liquid
Hazel portals of sight.
To see your soul.
To see what I feel and touch.
You touch my soul, heart and mind as
I touch
Your inner soul.

Only you can touch my heart
My soul
With the essence of your eyes of emotional love
With your heart of love
Your Thoughts
Your smile of pure happiness
That caresses my soul
Like the ocean waves of blue
That touches the sands of time

You are the sun that warms my soul
Touch my heart warms my breath
You are the air that fills my lungs
That tickles my soul as
I inhale the air

Staring into your eyes
Staring into your soul
Staring into your deepest desires
Staring into your liquid eyes in the sky
Of my life.

Moments that keep me alive
Moments that touch my life
Moments that I will always cherish
Moments that tell me that
I will always
And forever remember you.
Moments only you and I could only share.
Moments...

October Hues of the Dancing Leaves

2007-07-26T08:54:00.000-07:00

Shapes of different dances from above
Changes of the foil from around and in the sky.
The season of life changes to the Autumn before the isolation of Winter
Autumn of raw umber and bright yellows of lemons
As the leaves dance upon the fields of blue
The winds touch the old skin of leaves
October changes the garbs of the beauty of the earth.
Mother earths blue ridge of horizons
Apexes of hues of color changes the thoughts of others
A time of change of Earth and the energy around
Peoples energy and the fruit of life changes forever
As I watch my reasons change the ones around me
Upon us
All around us
I pray upon my soul upon my life to watch the changes around all
October hues of a new journey.

Was it just a Dream?

2007-07-26T08:41:00.000-07:00

A dream
That faded with the August Heat
As August 11 came and gone
My heart faded
Away with the moist tears
Of my heart

As I felt my sadness touch me
I am sadden to know I am no more
As I fall and let sadness take me
I fall and I am no more
No more in my heart
In my thoughts

My memories of the fireworks
HYS in my heart
In her eyes the ones she has touched
I have touched her
Now just a memory and
the only thing left is memory

Pure Memory of what I once had
What I had in my hands
In my tears
in my heart
In my mind
In my future

I will miss her
Her hair of curlies
Her eyes of stars
Her eyes of Love
Her eyes of rain drops
Upon my being

How I loved just the way she walked
The way she cooked
The way she laughed

How I miss her
How I love her
To this minute
To the moment

As the winds moves
the pages
Of my book of life
I am swept away
Into my abyss
Of loneliness
In my cave
where my soul stays
As she goes away

Was it just a dream?
A dream

That Sunset Over My Heart

2007-07-25T06:33:00.000-07:00

As the big orange
In the sky falls in the west
My heart falls to the west
To never return again

As I fall apart in the sands
of time
I die
As she fades and
the angels take her away

My princess as beautiful
As wonderful she is
I feel her in my heart
I wish I could touch the thoughts
Of others
I sense her all around me.

But she is afar as the stars
Remembering all that we have done these
Mid-summer nights
In the heat
Under the stars
with my heart always with her
Always with the beauty of her thoughts

I peer into her love and beauty
She fades like the shimmer of light
As it becomes dusk where the last of her
Goes with the sun
Back down under the horizon

As a tear drops it is evaporated
In the heat of the air
Does not ever hit the ground
But reborn in the sky as rain

Her flowing hair
Her beauty upon my skin
My heart
as it beats for her

As she fades
I will always remember the summer
of 2007
A summer to end all summers of my life
As I hit the winter of seasons
To see myself die off into the shadows
Of life and death.

That summer sunset of my heart
Summer love
Summer Memories
Summer Sunset

Fingerprints

2007-07-25T06:17:00.000-07:00

Packing
Cleaning
A studio no more
As my paints go dry

I smell the last of
the Oil paints
Laying to waste

My spirit is painted black
Oil all over my face
As my soul is no more

Lost my inspiration to paint
What to paint? Where is my muse?
I am lost in emptiness.

As I clean
There it is
The lipstick
On her wine glass
On the lip
Of the Glass

As clear as day
her fingerprints

That night long ago
On a full moon
On a day where the wolf called
As the wild spirits came out

There she was in my canvas
I drew here in the essence of charcoal
A over my newsprint
A over my Canvas of my soul
Yearning to feel her spirit in my thoughts
In my paint brush
Strokes that brought my desires
Desires of Burnt Umber
To Scarlet Purple Lake
Onto the white canvas

That night of oil and brushes
Her soul spoke to mine
No she is gone
No more. It is gone
My love is gone

She left. My love left
My heart shattered
Where have you gone
I am lost
I am no more.

Fingerprints

Rain

2007-07-14T07:25:00.000-07:00

Are like falling stars

Creating paths to our

Past

Past of lose

Past of love

Past of Pain

How you healed my heart

From the pain and tears

Tears of rain that fell from my sky

You are the rain that came and healed

Healed my soul

My memories

You are the rain that healed my soul

Cleansed my heart

Cleansed my wounds

On the battlefield of lost love

Lost heart and soul

Rain is what you are to me

You have healed me

Gave me love

Gave me faith

Faith in God

Most of all in life

Rain

Tidals

2007-05-29T04:57:00.000-07:00

Currents, tidals, crests
Feeling the beauty of life
Feeling the pain of life
Feeling the love of life
Love that is used to hurt
Currents that whirl around the heart
Around your Lark
That sings to your thoughts
Your feelings

Tidals and white feelings in the water
Water in cooling emotional feelings
That ripple across the heart
Bleeding, fracturing, cracking
Along your veins around your heart
Rupturing around my emotions my thoughts
Life grasping feelings
Hold my heart still
Spilling cracking bursting with crimson liquids of life
Aging me
Worrying me
Paining me

My soul is painted with guild
Torn worn; Horn of heaven
Lorning me to its light
As I fight to stay with this world
As the trumpets of eternity
Call me

I fall into the tidals of emotional oceans
Dragging me out to sea
As the currents of life are to strong

As I go under to the other side
To another world
As I fall into the abyss of pain
Open by love
To all for eternity
In the the oceans of emotional thoughts

Tidals
Forever taking me closer to eternity
Tidals of life.

Rose Petals in the Wind

2007-05-29T04:52:00.001-07:00

Listening, Feeling, Wondering
Reflections on the winds of time
To watch my emotions flow like the winds of time
Feeling the breeze of god on my cheek
God touching my brow

When I am very warm
God is there to cool me down
To give me tranquility and peace
Peace of mind

I flow with the currents of time
Of space
Of destiny
Shaped in the clay of fate
Sculpting my road out of sand
The sands that capture the essence of time
The essence of my moments
And others that are sharing it.

It enjoy
To take those times
Not to second guess
Because it might be my last
That last second
and god puts out my the flame of life
With the winds of God
Upon the thoughts of life

Threads broken or at its end
I feel and love the essence of the earth
As I love god
I flow with the wind
Flow with time
Until I pass over the river of life
To the wind of eternal flow

The wind of fate
The wind
Ever changing, ever flowing.

Traveling Willow Seed

2007-05-23T07:21:00.001-07:00

Willow SeedIn the wind of life
A wind of god
Not knowing where it might land
Strong of will but fragile

Strong to find a place on day
If the environment is loving
Nurishing and loving
A time of great blankets of care
To shed love to that one
Strength
Love
Faith
Will create
a foundation
to plant roots
In strong soil
To leave a legacy

Fragile like an egg
If dropped upon a hard slated surface of life
Abused
Mistreated
Landing where there is no soil
fooled to sprout
Decieved
Slow death
pain
collapsing
exploding heart
Broken heart
lack of love
Never sprouting
Never finding anything

Life; It is all up to our destination
God only knows
Willow seed traveling along the wind of life.

Frozen in Time

2007-05-23T06:08:00.000-07:00

Memories standing
Frozen in time
To stand for a moment
a moment in Korea on US soil
1950's; a time of turbulence
a ripple effect of communism

Men that bleed in time
On foreign soil
Fighting for freedom
Fighting for their fellow brother
Wanting to go home

Feeling conflicting thoughts
Confusing feelings of self and truth
Why am I fighting here?
This is not my country.
Is this your country
Names and a wall of greyish black
Etches of fallen soliders
Fallen Causes
Fallen past thoughts
A still images of water in a ripple within a pond of time

Moment of time in DC
A Moment of time in our minds
Fresh in the vets of the time
Korean and US
Blood the world wore in frozen breath
Frozen steel ground
Winds of sheer steel
Cutting through souls and moral
Of both

a moment
Of Frozen time
The Korean War Memorial

Spring Mist

2007-05-22T07:29:00.001-07:00

Ghostly movement
Just above the green blades
Blades of strong grass
That never die

Greyish, sheet just over the grass
As the sun starts to rise over mother nature
With its Orange glow
Just above the horizon line
In the east
As I make my way to the bus
The Bus stop to work

Stepping on the white gravel walk
Through the park
On that May morning
Watching the ghostly markings of the spring
As the sheets that lay upon the earth
Melt away for another heavenly day
Upon the flesh of Mother nature
that feeds and nurtures us as we
We awake for another day
Of life

Spring Mist showing the signs of a wild
Adventures Summer in 2007
A year to remember
A year to feel the love
A time to remember
As this spring melts
Melts like the ghostly sheets of grey
on the grass of green
In the morning breaking light
Of a new Late spring day

To remember the waking of the earth
Spring Mist As it fades a new day unfolds

Shimmering Light

2007-05-22T07:22:00.000-07:00

As I awaken in my soul
to the glaring light of god
I feel the waves of emotions
Of Compassion for my fellow human
To give the guideness to the ones that ask
Ask for the direction

Where is the path of the sands of time?
The teachers footsteps
To the light
To our holy fathers kingdom
Within our hearts and souls

To feel the breeze of the Angel wings
As the angels are ever present to
Easy our suffering within this life
Our pain
Our sickness
Our colds
our illnesses
That we live with everyday

Feel the love of God
Who carries you over evil
And directs you away from temptations
Of Humanity

feel the Holy spirit
Within the air
Within in your lungs
In your soul

that shimmering light
To know you are looked upon
As a child of the light

Shimmering light
Of eternity

Bridge over Water

2007-05-21T08:09:00.000-07:00

Specks of light
Across the Cerulean blue sky
Upon mother natures skin

As the eye of god
Orange reddish comes over
Over the Horizon
Upon my thoughts
My soul

Then out of El' fant station
From darkness to light
I see the Jefferson
Then the pointy Washington
As a concrete slab of rail
Crosses the body of water
The vein of life of Mother Nature
Holding my mind feeling
As I cross into a new day
into a rebirth; upon the waters
Of life
Of soul
Of being

Remember the rains of summer
Rains of Spring
Into the light I felt her
on my soul
On my mind
The day of life
As I breath gods breath
The winds that cradle my soul
Breeze over my existence
Today starts a new day
over the Potomac
That I cross to go to old town
To king street I go
To my stop
To my career
To a new day

As the rails screech
and halt
Next stop
A new beginning
A new Day
Morning

Over a bridge over water
Bridging over from night
To morning
Awaking to live
A new day
A new life
A new Birth
A blessing

Bridge over Water

Sunflower

2007-05-18T21:03:00.000-07:00

Stretching Petals
Away from the brownish center
Across the span of life

Seeds that grow
Center upon center
Where the beauty orginated
Shining as bright as the sun
In the east as it rises and stretches
Stretches across the bluish sky

I am awaken by your sunflower smile
as bright as the mid day sky
Where the sun plays and touches
Many of Many of their soul
Across the canvas of life

How I love the beauty of the starry
Starry Sky
Of the Sunflower on the greenish canvas
Through and Through
Sunflower of life
How it reminds me of your love
As the sunflower touches the horizon

Sunflower in my life
As beautiful as the day's sky

Sunflower of my life.

Remembering that Star

2007-05-18T20:56:00.000-07:00

Starry Night
In your eyes
Your Iris of the night's sky
Watching your thoughts
Within your sparkle
Of your eye

A universe of stars
Falling Stars
Twinkling Stars
Rotating Stars
Within the nights sky

Falling Stars
To wish upon your stars
Those falling stars
To help you catch those Stars
Those of hope and children of the future
Of your smile
Those Twinkles in your soul
In your mirrors
Of your eyes

Rotating Stars
Rotating around my heart
Around my soul
Where are you my love
I wait for you to come down
Toward my heart
To give me love
To give me hope

Twinkling Stars
Burst of light
Upon your eyes
Upon your reflections
Within your nights sky
Where your heart lives

I will always remember you
As my falling star
My Twinkling Star
Rotating around my soul

You are my Star I will remember

Remembering that star
In the night's sky
Living in the sky of existence
Of live

Remembering
That star

A Blade of Grass

2007-05-17T05:39:00.000-07:00

Straight
Strong
Wind of time blows me around
Green I am
Thin; Fit
Resistant to storms
To heat
To snow

My roots are strong
I stand up straight
I hold my weight
I love
I care
I feel you within
I feel you around me
Like a blanket of protection
Of caring

You can cut me down
I will grow back
Strong; I will multiply
I will spread
I will never go away
I will love forever
I will always be in your heart

I might look dead
In the cold of night
In the cold of winter
But I am alive
I am well
I will be back
In the season of spring
in the season of the heat
In the season of the rain
Of the drops

That leave their impression
On the skin of earth

I am a blade of Grass

Rock

2007-05-17T05:34:00.000-07:00

Slated
Hard
Solid
Your love is hard
As this rock is

We will build our love on this rock
The first stone to build our mansion
Where our love will grow
We will raise our emotions in this house
Built from the rock

Strong it is
Waterproof it is
Course and rough to outsiders

Our hearts will dwell
Our souls will intertwine
Our children of love will grow
Here

yes Here is where we will live
As our days will last
As our hollow shells will fade
Away like the rays of warmth
As the night comes

Our souls; hearts and mines will be save
Inside with the start of this rock
The rock you gave me
From the depths of this earth
From the love of your heart
Your soul
Your mind

A rock
A rock that will last forever
Our foundation

A rock

Soul of Culture is Art

2007-05-17T04:38:00.000-07:00

Culture; Tradition; Identity
People of all walks
Their finger print is their art
Of their culture
From Picasso to Manet
From Langston Hughs to Shakespeare
Pens for ink that bleed a portrait of our time
Capturing the moment on parchment
in journals
Leaving our souls in paint on canvas
Who are we? We are our culture our time
The thread of the quilt of humanity
As it is composed of Africans; Americans; Brits to Flips

Music is the sound of Culture
Guitars that speak to the heart
Talks to the soul
listens to the heart
Pours out within cords
Within thoughts
Of your mind
Of the time
Drums
Guitars
Trumpets
Saxs
Violins
Are fingertips of culture
Fingerprints of one hand
Samuel Davis to Mozart
Van Halen to Led Zepplin
Music

Brushs and canvas
Colors of visual art
The eye of Culture
Touching the souls portal
mirroring the beauty of Culture
Picasso to DeVinci
Vemeer to Dali
Dreams of images and marble
Beauty and the pieces of soul
Capture of the time
Of the culture
Of the moment
Of the second of that memory
To be remembered in Living rooms
In museums
to be studied in the next generation

Dance
Broadway; all caught in a play
in a wood stage
Emotions and thoughts
In a telling of a story
In the eyes in the movement
Of a tippy toe
In silk; in Custom; In a way of line
Cats to Macbeth
Nutcracker to Miss Siagon
The movement of Culture
The walk of art

Crimson Pens
Bleeding hearts
Emotional wreaks
As you swim in the portraits
Of moments of words
and Phrases within my mind
Withing hands
In my skin
As I remember the moment
The time captured on paper
In books
Whitman to Hughs
Shakespeare to Twain
Hemmingway to Paulo
Whipsers of the time
The moment
As it speaks to me
On my tongue
in my ears
In my thoughts
In my eye
In my mind

The soul of culture
Art

A Flower

2007-05-17T04:27:00.000-07:00

Silky; Dew; Moist
Feeling your spring petals
As you are young within the sun
The warmth of God

As God reach out towards you
Upon your soul of a crimson soul
Smelling your scent
Upon the winds of changing time

Maturing as I see your first layers
Open and spread your warmth and beauty
Within the sun

Growing stretching to the sky
Feeling my love and warmth
As my heart beats for you
Within the grounds of love

Mid-spring time
I feel the stretches of time
The travel and feeling your mind
As it blossoms in the field of time

Grasping your beauty
as you open; part way you are
Almost fully open
Almost at your highest peak
But I will always remember you
When I met you young
You will always be froze in time
Your physical beauty

Wisdom matures you
Making you attractive
To Busy bees
as You mature you drop
Drop your makings of the next
Roses below
For the coming seasons
As your life changes and the season pass
Like a light breeze in the line of time

Fully open; Your petals curve
As you fade and your last petals
Fall to the earth of blue
To feel your last warmth

As the creator calls you home
To grow and blossom in the eternal sun
Of the God
In the garden of Eden
As season pass
You blossom in my heart
As beautiful as the first day I met you

A flower

Electronic Pulses

2007-05-16T10:57:00.000-07:00

Pulsing, Drifting,
Electron speed
Paths on a motherboard
Silicon highways
Cycling around through Fiber optics

Love, Anguish, sadness
Running through and Through
Hoping it will get there
Running towards your computer
Toward your email box
Hoping it does not collide
Collide with someone elses mail

Hoping it will not be marked trash
Or Bulk mail; Never to be seen by
By your mirrored souls
Portals to your heart and soul
Within the glitter of your life's eye

Hoping you will read the light of my soul
Within the shape of words and thoughts
To lift your heart and soul

To basically to say three words
I love you
In a letter

Electronic Pulses

Dreams of Stardust

2007-05-16T10:51:00.000-07:00

Awakening from real to dream
Seeing that dream woman that you always wanted
Within the nights starry night
At that right hour
The cosmic winds of the minute
Brings that second
Where your eye
Catchs that stardust
Upon your shimmering Iris
Of your soul

Seeing the man of your dreams
In a reflection pool
Under a weeping Willow tree
Where your soul touchs
The soul of others

Dreams have no time
No hands on the clock
Live a lifetime in your existence
Feeling free and wonderful
Feeling as a princess
Because in your world you are
In your dream You have your man
That perfect time
That perfect place
The beauty within her eye
Wraps around your heart
Your soul
Your wonderful being

Then you hear a ringing
A light
Through the window
things shimmer away
Wither the weep willow
Drying of the lake
The pool of forever
The heart stops

You open your shades
Upon your soul; Your brown soul
To realize You are back
You broke the dream
You doubted the truth
You let go of your true reality

Your dream heart faded
No longer real
But a part of your memory
A dream
Another world
Another Reality

Completely just vapors
Because you doubted
Breaking the dream
Awakening
Dream no more

Fading upon Stardust
In the sky
Dreams of Stardust

Layers

2007-05-16T08:09:00.001-07:00

Layers a person's soul
Complex onion
Layers of Memories
Moments of overwhelming emotions

Peeling away
Do you actually know that person
Or is it just layers you will never
Ever get to the middle

A person's soul is so complex
Layers
Upon Layers

Keys; laughter
cries; sadness; thoughts of lose
Wondering; grasping
Holding on
Feeling my thoughts

Layers within my heart
Like a onion
It can nurish my heart
But will bring tears to your eyes
Water that comes from your
your portals of your eyes

Watering the moment when you get flowers
Or the time you are giving flowers
At a wedding; a first day
At a funneral
Say goodbye to your heart

Layers; of your heart
Will you ever see the inner
The inner soul
Unlocking the most sacred
of your soul
Of your heart

Layers

NOVA in the Sky

2007-05-16T05:51:00.000-07:00

Staring in the blackness of the night's sky
Once the sun as silently went to sleep
Staring, Staring, Staring
In your your centers of your eyes
Staring at the glitter in your eyes
Seeing the sky within your soul

The star that I peer upon
Seeing it every moment as I close my eyes
As I stare in my soul
Peering at the most beautiful star in the sky
Your sky in your eye
Sparkling like a 4th of July sparkler
So many dreams
So strong; Strength for others
Beauty on defined by God

As I see a wave come from your eye
From your glitter within your sky
Your eyes, Your brownish eyes in the starry sky.

As I sway in the cosmic wind in the sky
As the star goes super bright
then collapse outward and back in
Peering, seeing the particles
of our love that I gave for you
Go in flame and flaring up
Into the night sky

observing on a distant star
Smiling and remembering
How that beautiful star fades
Changing into another light
Flaring away my thoughts
Future thoughts

I smile and await another star
Who's eye it will be
Only god will know.
Nova in the Sky

Lighting up upon the sky
Glowing in anothers heart
In another eye

Nova in the sky
in your eye
