Amor, por favor no le tengas duda A la promesa que te hice debajo de la luna desnuda Si, soy un hombre de hechos Pero tambien soy hecho de carne y huesos Y es por eso que juro esto De mi corazon hare un templo Un lugar sagrado Donde no existen los fantasmas del pasado Y donde viviremos hasta el fin de nuestros dias Repletos de amor, compassion y maravillas Te amo hoy y siempre Hasta mas aya de la muerte

La Promesa
From this well of fire I am forced to drink Its poison corroding and churning Is too much to bare I think But the world never stops turning Reminding me of our names written in ink The effigy of our love is burning

The Effigy of Our Love
I come from a broken home My mother is ****** and crazy My father left when I was three An imperfect life I must atone I ran away as soon as I could I made my way as best I knew While running that’s where I met you In me, somehow, you saw some good Now a home of our own we have built Two beautiful girls we have made A new foundation we have laid No more tears to be spilt If there is a God this I do invoke They WILL be free To be happy as can be The cycle is broke Yes, it’s imperfect that is true But this home is now complete My heart with you is replete My story has begun anew

Broken Cycle
It is easy to be fooled by your beauty and mistake you for a flower like a Dahlia, Tulip or Orchid But you are not that frail and standing so still requires one to be torpid Instead take it from an admirer You are a brightly burning fire Yet despite the danger My fear grows fainter I realize I cannot stop and I must keep going I am bound by my heart to try knowing So you are a fire?  Then burn and consume me Flicker, scorch and smolder and by reducing me to ashes you’ll show me That despite the lateness of love’s season Things do happen for a reason And should this be the death of me I am fine, I just need to be free from this mystery Could you ever love me?

O dear sir, I am a criminal of love No need for your supplications have I Make your prayers to the God above I appreciate a lark and you are amusingly droll Yet your lust fits me not as a glove Your love is a heavy albatross Mine is a lovely white dove Yes, time it may be short But your calculations run astray The numbers and figures you quote I must retort Be you true or only truly depraved? Your kind of love is one messy tort Take your time and take it slow My smiles into sully frowns you contort Be you handsome and witty is true I am almost moved by you and your advance But there are others, not just you Nary you be the only fish in the sea I am looking for a love that is true Away with you, vile man You are neither a driver, nor I a simple *****

From a Coy Mistress
My caffeinated brain is buzzing bright As increasingly imposing thoughts take flight Effervescent and light there is no way that I might No matter how I try somehow to hold on to them tight There is no sense in having to fight Just let them do what they may and run amok This how creativity becomes unstuck Flowing and bursting through all the usual muck Rhymes and verse that leave me dumbstruck It’s enough to leave anyone awestruck Before long my thoughts, they no longer incend The trail in my mind no longer bends My mind is at ease, it has made amends My thoughts slow and descend I drop my pen and it ends

Caffeinated Thoughts
I’ll always recall the day you left me here to die I can change I said, let me try But instead you chose to fly Your words of rebuke, how they made me cry I am sick; it’s no contrived cliché My mind is in disarray My heart languishes in decay But you don’t see it that way To you it’s all made up; a sick game I play Already it’s been over a year I’m all but forgotten, I fear You are far, no longer near But, though I lie, I love you dear You’ll always be my brother We come from the same mother I loved you like no other But with me you won’t bother It reminds me of my father

My Brother
My mood is a helter-skelter An endless series of ups and downs There is no shelter From this litany of smiles and frowns There is no middle What is today? Just an endless riddle Sunny or Gray? Cloudy or Gay? One thing I know for sure I will just have to let it be For me there is no cure It’ll never set me free

Ups and Downs
I am a soldier of Fortune 500 I feel neither pain nor hunger In this applicant pool, I almost feel outnumbered I look dapper in my business suit; don't mind the holes at the elbows and knees Instead, notice my resume and my level of expertise Ask me anything you please How did I end here in this tragedy? Although well versed in corporate strategy Even I was not prepared for this calamity Stock shares crashing to the ground My comrades falling all around With a gruesome sound So much carnage abound Growth and acquisition Revenge and retribution I can make a contribution I just need a job; I assure I am a great fit I never tire and never quit Yes, I did bring my work permit I am a soldier of fortune; a gun for hire I make my way under heavy fire I will make it through this mire I am what you call a corporate survivor
