Can you hear
that subtler
knell?
Gethsemane Lutheran Church

The breathing life in
the heart of the present

Continue praying...
if not for God
for poetry
Creado y regado de Los Angeles,
Juana's Addicción
Here we go!
Not a chance
for a
slow dance
In crowds
we go
unnoticed
undreamt and untouched.
It seemed both longer and
the blink of an eye . .
the wind whispers secrets
and our dreams softly move
and in knowing these things
like a promise of tomorrow
We gotta dream out
in open roads
screeching horns and
credible toads
I want to be the song
on your scratchy record
to make your
moment worthwhile.
‘Tis a strange sorrow
‘The language of hymns’
from an avant-garde cellist

Breaks your heart to hear it!
They pause —
not for love
nor for sorrow
and The journey takes one hour.
Censured
Like a story told in sighs
(self-created, troubled-hearted)
last chance
for a summer’s
romance
I’m a boy I’m a boy but
my Ma won’t admit

who lives at the very
center of myself
where’s stormy and dark
O cloudy night
there is poison in all things
in the middle of
a huge forest
grow out of tears
Sad Lovers & Giants
with a name like that
you know it’s
gonna be good
Sadness
as a state
of the art.
Darkness gone blind
Like him I shall be
In these towns
that we ride by, on
our way, as we are . .
I remember a summer's day
I remember walking up to you
I remember my face turned red.
The great Great Gatsby
about your
sorrow and mine
It's a warm cloudy day and I'm missing the weather like it used to be in the winters. Bound to it are our memories, of pink and blue, some scissors and glue, the malaria and flu and many more.
But I think of what you told me, to imagine something. Something too nice to scare away the untamed negativity. So I made up a short story.
I lay on my bed, with injured hand and legs. I do not talk to anyone around me, and was unable to eat the food. Had refused to each one offering to feed me, as my right hand was immobilized.
But then you came. Silently. It's 00.26. My stomach is growling. And then I hear you calling. I jolt upwards in the bed. And here you are. Sitting by the side which I always keep reserved for your spirit to reside. You sit with the plate of delicious sandwiches, but the most sweet thing is your smile, your happiness and your care. Tears are rolling down my face as you slowly down my head to your shoulder and then hand me the sandwich (tasty food can be eaten using left hand too). I eat it up quickly. So that I can preserve all the moments with my soulmate.
But then I suddenly feel sleepy, too sleepy in your warm embrace and within moments I drift into a dreamless, silent serene sleep, which I haven't had in my life.
I wake up next morning, unable to recall the exact happening.
But, I feel the happiness on my face.
And then
I already know that you were with me.
And the vicious turbidity
seeps down the road,
in sins and woes
Some things
we never forget.
mercy like an earthen ode.
Washed my skin
with sins and
woes . .
The Devil of Fun
and his thirteen sons!
a musical sorrow
with thirteen voices
Cause we're on our way
We're on our way
to fall in love
