Musical Cento

Good morning starshine
There's love in your skies
Reflecting the sunlight
In my lover's eyes
There's a river to cross
And a mountain to climb
Patience, Patience
It's gonna take some time
Trusting desire, starting to learn
Walking through fire without a burn
Clinging on a shoulder a leap begins
Stinging and older, asleep on pins
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something
Something good

Breathing

When your name falls trippingly from my tongue
And you enter my consciousness
We breathe together into the night
Bodies and hearts entwined
The world goes away
Nothing exists but us
The darkness is enveloping
We two
Breathing
Together

Untitled #545

Roses es amarillo
Las margaritas también son
Los puse alrededor de la villa.
Y los guardo en mi bolsillo.

Roses are yellow
Daisies are too
I put them around the house
And I keep them in my pocket

Loss

If I have to change who I am
Am I still the person you love?
That loves you in return?
What rivers, valleys, mountains
Even worlds and galaxies,
I wouldn't cross to be with you.
__________
But to change my soul,
My heart,
My mind?
These are the things that make me. These make me WHO I am
_________
But you are a part of me too.
If you ask me to choose,
No matter what I do,
I lose.
________
Heartbroken already,
I cry,
As I contemplate,
My loss.

Vision

When the world is too dizzy
Looking out at the view
I close my eyes and envision
The aura of you
You glow in warm colors
Bright greens and blues
Bathed in radiant silver
A most electric hue
The thought somehow frights me
Yet still I have to smile
Elation overtakes me
Enveloped by you

Deception

I once saw a future for us filled with hope
One seemingly blessed by a Pope
But one can not believe all that one sees
Or did my eyes once deceive me?

______

You stay out later and later each day
Keeping yourself far away from me
I try to avoid the fray
Are my eyes still deceiving me?

_____

This isn't my first rodeo
I'm not a kitten stuck up a tree
It may be time for me to be free
'Cause my eyes are no longer deceiving me.

Hashtag Poem (#Whentoyscometolife)

#Whenthetoyscametolife the adults went away
This couldn't have happen on just any day
The children took over with scooters and bikes
They all told their parents to just take a hike
But soon it was over, the children quietly sleep,
The toys fell down lifelesss, while the grown children weep.

Understanding

Though they try to tear you down
When insults and calamities abound
I wish that they would let you be
That they could see the joy I see
Ti capisco, mon ami

When the world has gotten wild
And no one can agree
Adults become the petulant child
Ti capisco, mon ami

So when you feel sad or blue
When you want to be free
The words I speak are always true
Ti capisco, mon ami

Loss

I used to think like you
To be young and naive
When the world was my oyster
And all my wishes fulfilled
But now I bare the scars
Of life obtained
The days unlived
And the time spent in sorrow
I know you will join me one day
And for that loss
For those sorrows yet to come
I pity you

There is a name that does not posses me.
Togetherness is not belonging.
For forevermore, we believe
We only belong to each other
                   _______  
Love is not a thing to touch
Creating our memories

That to live we return
To where everything is fine
And we always belong to each other.
