White

As blank the sky that lies beyond

Cold sleet flakes of frozen fall

The eye sees far but blurred a-close

Salt lies dormant grip the mall

Imagination fills the gaps

Chilling certain joy not sure

Nothingness the heavens cry

But death makes solid, stale, impure

Internal fear external being

Fire burns heart beats on

Thumping only signals life

Darkened lightness coming dawn

Above beyond the colorless

Or be it colored filled as full

There is slight comfort hidden deep

Faith's strong power vicious rule

As bleak the show as hard the sight

Desire hearts minds ceaseless plight

Senses fail sunken height

And only survives the idea

White. 

Claire

My dearest darling, oh, do not frown
like rain on softened soil sleep

Your gentleness is what you crown

and possess such beauty through and deep

Your eyes, like the sky yet pine trees stand

and your smile subsides my every thought

Your words, my truth, and you command

my heart beat, my soul, and all I sought

Like water crisp and clear as day

your auburn locks lay live and calm

And if my happiness falls astray

your voice will act as my own psalm

So breathe and fill those hearts with light

for I have gained its fullness filled

My love was blind but you gave it sight

and aged like wine as it distilled

Prayer of the Poet

In Your Presence.

The song takes flight.

All that once graced ears

was drowned in silence.

Unanswered, unleavened

untampered You sit.

Peace, our hearts did

find in solace.

How hums holy hymns

happening habitually

helping heartfelt homes

hitherto holding His

hopeful happiness.

And here I am.

Locked, fixed on

You.

Aetas

By created chance you were given to me.

Post-its and arm written notes gracing every

second to the whole of the swinging arm.

Some weren't as lucky as most I know,

for they were lost to be in a vault of triggers.

Ding! Moments meshing mindlessly to master

the scheduled skepticism skulking around.

If only that seven were an eight

and that twenty-four a five at its end,

but that is too much to ask.

Rearrange the universe and make

My heavens perfect.

Recycle what mass is necessary

in order to have my fulfillment.

I live in anthropocentric space

and I choose it.

I grasp it.

But I lose it.

Declined. Done deal. Connect the damn dots.

Here's your seven, take back twenty-four.

You will be supplied and consoled.

From a blink to your life, you'll tick on.

You are given devices to seek simple samples.

Just do what you'll do and plan with the phases.

You have plenty of time; more time then

you'll ever know.

Build, for your riches await.

Terese

Upon the crest of sun risen day
a beauty comes, a day anew.
But unlike the sun, my love will stay
for nothing can ever compare to you.

A bundled joy is what you give
and happiness is what you own.
Without your voice I cannot live.
Your departure I will not condone.

But if by fate you won't be mine
then I have no chance but let you know
Your love, your smile, yourself divine
But loving is learning to letting go

Poder de Amor

Wander ye that follows foolish follies
and seek ye not the chiseled chalice
which bleedeth for thee stoic grave.
Art thee greater than love?

Think now, is your investment safe?
Fringing on the fear that fizzles
as they close negative again.
Are you too good to see love?

Lmfao, u r 2 bz 2 laff
R u 2 skrd 2 c wuts wrong?
Omg, u dsrv this 4 ur sik game
R u 2 gr8 2 love?

You had it, always did.
You chose not to listen.
And now that this
world shrank away,
you will suffer for this.
You denied your ticket
back home.

Passio sanitatis

It arrived on impact, a change
so drastic the world lost shape.
And now, well, I failed you.
I gave it all and lost it to
my desire to save.

I hoped harmony had hummed
and the song of logos had
held its tone. Yet, it filled air
with sulfured sorrows.
I'd say sorry but deaf ears
hear not the pleas for
cohesion.

Give me flow now in this
time of fission and grant
the pauseless pacing of
the conscious conscience
cleansing.

Of crosses bear those who
seek in shadow of he who's
charity had dominion. Breathe
and stay calm. It's almost over.

Fuego de la Vela

You are a synoptic case
my energetic friend.

Contained to work in that
tube of illumination, potential

for terrible events. Released,
damage can be done,

but contained, dully you flicker
melting all around you at the

Tick of a clock. Potential
is what you own,

but once your great companion rises,
you have lost purpose and

with a blow of the will,
you perish until re-ignition.

Untitled

Ask and you shall receive,
speak and you shall be heard.
You question me but I tell you,
this is between me and Him.
You tell me become a structure,
to speak with an absent heart,
but I know me more.

...Like the first of breaths,
one is set in motion to prosper.

What I chose to say
and how I choose to love
are absent to what I act for
and what I channel.
These hands, this voice,
this mind
all mean little compared to

what this heart loves and lives for.

Sin

I prod and poke the mask you wear
My whips and lashes you must bear
And I stand around as though I don't care
And did so until the last breathe you drew

I beg you, please, the judgement I'll take
I'm too dirty and grimy for your perfect sake
I lie and I break every promise I make
My faults and my failures I know I'll accrue

You're all too forgiving for my type of man
I will take advantage whenever I can
I'll steal all your treasures and take them at han'
You're still and of me you won't even pursue

I'm worthless, please hold me, I have nothing left
My baggage I carry and struggle to heft
I'm sorry for heartbreak and my many theft
It took me a darkness to find what is true

No man nor beast can ever replace
the Love for you and all you face
My fears and struggles, a faint of your trace
compared to all I put you through

I see it now, your breathless charm
and I remain no man of what
came before. Reconciled, I will
follow the one light I see. With
grace I resolve to sin no more
and avoid whatever leads me to
Sin.

Tantum Ergo

You evoke the silence
in the room, minds are
pacing, petitions are heard

and I stare. I look at
the light that hits the
surface of Your vessel.

The ruined like crows
avoid Your grapes though
some craving with everything

just for a nibble, just
a squirt of Your drunkenness,
but the shimmering averts.

Unleavened sitting with open
ears. How is it that knowing
comes flawlessly? No need

to understand how; just
simply why? Why hear
racing thoughts and hold

the pinewood sky in perfect
order? What a world of
beautiful flaws! And the

day will come when all
around me will be renovated.
For nothing is created or

destroyed. And we the stewards
hold true Your purpose. Let
us be Your holy hands.

Monotone Sequence Theorem

Dot, dot, dot, dot
All gathered on a poorly
Stretched graph. Will it be

Bounded by a limit above?
The monotony of dot after
Dot, just seeking to fall

Into uniformity. There was
Never hope for the dots
To shoot for the stars.

All they can do is sit
And wait until one day
They can break through,

But we all know this will
Never happen. Before they
Existed, we knew them.

Time Is Too Dear

Ticking motions every fleeting moment

Instances pass on as you sip on your cup of chai

Mornings come and go and we lose them

Every second we wish we can get back to live

It pains us to see we cannot eat our chili

So many little things we will miss

Today we should live and nothing should wait

Only God knows when we will go

Our time is running out and there are things to do

Dreams must be done and causes completed

Even those that seem impossible have hope

All we have is now so accomplish a plethora

Remember this everyday; time is too dear

Goodbye Sunshine

Goodbye Sunshine, I'm off for the night
Your golden warm rays aren't far from my sight
It might be a change but to me that's alright
For you are in my memory.

You drove all my thoughts and changed all my ways
With you I've spent years, many months, many days
To you I looked up to and had fixed my glaze.

I once was afraid to leave your embrace
Thought terrors and troubles and tears I would face
For I feared my decisions would alter my pace
And you stayed in my memory.

I left and I felt a taste of distressed
For I was more east than more ever west
But I calmed myself and hoped for the best.

My hope did come true and best I did get
So great that of leaving I'll never regret
But of you are my origins I will not forget
Because you are my memory.

I've met a new day of which I'm content
With it I have loved and time I have spent
I figured my life and to you I repent.

I thought I was happy but found that was not
I was living for others and was so distraught
I looked for my answers, my answers I sought
With you at the center of my memory.

My answers were found and to you I found none
My mind was at chaos and my new day had won
I knew what was needed and knew it was done.

It warmly embraced me, it recleansed my soul
An ever-changed mindset and shining new goal
I learned my true nature and I took control
With you dug deep in my memory.

I saw the vast heights, glazed down the new lows
And knew it was freedom and life that I chose
It was not ideal but what God transposed.

I found a new self and found a new me
I’ve worked to find glory in the life that I see
Goodbye Sunshine, this was destiny
But you will be in my memory.

Nuestra Señora de la Frontera

You've travelled far and gave so much

No child to hold, no wife to touch

A journey of freedom, or something as such

I am here with you

You risked your life to come to be

Inside a "land of liberty"

Coyotes lie, patrollers you'll flee

But I am here with you

The burning sun, the deathly heat

The swelling blisters on your feet

You think today it's God you'll meet

But know I'm here with you

You pray for life, but death seems near

But your love for God subsides your fear

And all you've come here for is dear

And I am here with you

A Devil’s Highway, the path you chose

The pain of walking from head to toes

You lay down to die, none left you suppose

But I am always here with you

Now sleep beneath the heaven’s moon

For you will be with me soon

Ya duérmete mi niño

Yo estoy contigo

Angela

Your voice, oh gentle, lady sweet

Like soft enchanted melody

Your words, your thoughts, your everything

You've left a lovely memory

You bright green eyes like emerald shine

They pierce my soul ever so kind

My love, my heart, my mind, my soul

All my troubles lay behind

Now sweet don't worry for the sun

I'm here to kiss your sensual face

You are the sun of heaven plains

My stolen heart is unreplaced

Beyond the Valley Glen

As I walk to see my childhood's end

I walk beyond the valley glen

To find a place where I belong

Where comfort's felt again and again

Before, I belonged to an elder place

Where comfort governed every move

But now the comfort's gone to waste

A newer place that none approve

The place once home is no longer there

And the light once shone became extinct

The new place tries to light its flame

My understanding left indistinct

As I walk the path that lies ahead

I walk beyond the valley glen

I've seen a future in my head

I'll speak of it never again

Deception

Dare not see the light
That leaks on shady plains
For life thirsts for compassion
Which only time obtains

Dare not hear the air
That lurks in echoing caves
For minds hunger forgiveness
Which only time re-paves

Dare not smell the scent
That flows through winding hills
For the heart seeks affection
Which only time fulfills

Think not mal-intentions
Nor actions you'll regret
For beauty isn't worth it
And life's not over yet
