Since there's a consensus that "we" writers are a lying bunch, I'ma give y'all another "tall tale".

My brother's motto was ride it til the wheels fall off.  Not the tires mind you but the wheels.

Marco, my nutty lil brother
had his first full cardiac arrest at 29 behind bars.  Left in his cell wailing for three days caused the fatal scars.  

But since he'd only used 5 of his 9 lives, he partied every night ......
til the **** crowed at five.

Wet ones from the Gardens, clavo from up the street, pills of every shape and form...you name it...it was all candy, all sweet.

Suffice to say, he had a second full cardiac arrest, subsequent surgery...the doctors did their best.

And like Humpty he was glued back together to one piece only to head straight to the dealers house then the bar moments after his release.

Two more years running wild, boosting and muling, GTAing and thievin....I found him naked on the floor.... purple not breathing.

Dial 911...there ain't nothing to be done, still the pigs come and isolate me from the scene questioning me further...I'm being investigated for ******.....
Surreal things happen in the "varrio"....common everyday occurrences here would blow your ****** mind but that's fine keep telling yourself I'm just lying

Star Above

<(      )>
v
Above festooned in love
Absconds with twinkles
into a grey glove...
the Angeles sky

Celestial bodies...
wild horses need never
be broken and bridled.
Instead slowly coaxed
to a gloveless hand
gentle reassuring
whispers caresses
for an unshakable bond
between one and
the spirit of the horse....
The soul of the star.
Only then will they allow themselves to be seen
in full glory and light,
Let us see what they are

El desastre del sastre
No sabe medir
no sabe coser y
ya anda ciego y
sin tres dedos
escojo un traje
que por favor
me lo baje pero
es cojo el viejo
y medio salvaje
Tres veces me pica
el pendejo reliquia
y midiéndome
la nuca casi me asfixia
Ya no vuelvo
Jamás con ese
desastre de sastre
mejor que se
ponga a lavar trastes

The brightly lit shadow
Does it know more than me, know more about me than me? Is it this thing we call our shadow? Is it the same one that's followed our soul as it goes through the process? Perhaps it's not our shadow but our souls shadow. That might explain why it can anticipate my motions. Any Which Way, I know I've seen mine shine brighter than day.

Flounder
In some Waters that I don't know how to swim chance of survival minimal, less than Slim

Same Strokes that put me ahead of the race, now ineffective I'm flailing in place.

The undertow grabs my soul and Yanks me down, yearning to swallow me One gulp whole. It tightens its grip; Do or Die balance tipped

Realm of five senses
My body this cage the lust this rage this life... This race what fuss, Turn the Page.
Release your spirit let the soul roll organic submission spun out of control.
Soul over mind like Mind Over Matter Collective memories scattered and splattered
slave to Five Senses, that's all we know in this realm, granted another we'd be overwhelmed.
Pull from your third eye, the medulla as well and realize your body is not stuck in hell.

Untitled
Epiphany at Starlight right? In and out of Dreams Twilight. Caged inside a cell my mind, I pause reset unwind. Reality reflects the mood so much the heart the soul and mind are touched. Begrudged for non-complacent views, firm I stand when Spirits sense the silent truth. Vindicated by my own God's eye, light and love engulf  me now, the hate I've dealt the world resigns.

Love Field
Hopping on board to flee from the Sun. Another week's work, all slave... No fun. Back to LA to get s* done. The galleries waiting to hang my fire. A flick of the torch Sparks of burning desire, incessant need that never expires.
Stuck in Fort Worth an extra 5 days, burnt by our star, 110 in the shade. Dollars earned for hanging I'll trade, the museums are eager and Destiny Whispers.. "you'll soon make the grade.,"
Spine is kicking but I still crack a smile... Sitting next to a goddess for a thousand miles. Though just a small chat the Soul flies in style... Exit the craft the stiff scent of home. Batteries dead can't use the phone. Spark up a smoke and Glimpse Domino's head... My smile grows wider as he sniffs at the air, catches a whiff and fixes his stare. "Daddy's home!" There's no love that compares
Love my Bubba

Que risa
Se me hace raro que mi dentista se parezca a una amiga de Córdoba....y que también tengan el mismo gusto en forma de vestir, en collar, hasta en su corte de pelo.  Aún más raro es que veo a esta cara en el rostro de todas mis nuevos amigos.  Pero imposible....o será?  Hmmmm....que jueguitos que juega su personalidad.... colombianas, argentinas, españolas, inglesa, estudiantes, poetas, músicos y hasta indios y árabes, de CA, OR, NY, WY y quién sabe donde más.

Yo les dije...Dios lo ve todo....hasta los lunares de tu pecho, tu nuca y quijada.

Snorting poetry
Some like Colombian
  Sleeping powder ....
  ounces up the nose.
  I prefer the effects
  of snorting hymns
  psalms and prose.

Others sniff crystal,
   ice, **** or glass
   I say poems are
   a narcotic of
   a much higher class.

Still others ride the
    horse talk smack or
   Stick tar. The dens
    that I frequent
    offer verses
    in their bar.
Tommy Chong from Big Bambu - "At first I was all ****** on drugs, now I'm all ****** up on the Lord"

Not often do the angels tuck me in.  But tonight .....a light came into my room to touch my soul free me from my sins.  Singing like a siren that doesn't bare her teeth.  Thank you sweet angel....read on and absorb all their emotion ...poetry is sublimation a very vaporous potent potion.

They make you bleed

I'll never lie to your face.

What a mangled web
I'm caught in a
web of deception
two spider's playing out
a poetically failed romance
on these pages.....
..my conception.

Imagined personas
tres plus noms des plume
glitter and sparkle
as I watch these two dance.  

Pay attention
all Roman Generals,
all you down
and out uptowners,
don't let that house
fall straight into the ashes; unwanted metastatic carcinogenic glances

It's your right to
up and move on
but I get it the siren
sings a sweet song.  
Her golden surprise
your mesmerizing eyes
and both of you thinking
I planned this whole guise.

I'm just an observer
on the moon looking down laughing at how
my Word makes you both stumble,big footed clowns....
Young star crossed lovers
playing hide and seek
like the shadows in
my empty park.  

But as I love
leaving clues
yours are easily
deciphered.  

Some may say I'm God
others Luis Cypher.
My eye sees all as my hipocracy and blasphemy knows no bounds

The Tide
Ebb & flow, high and low
Tug and tug the moon above
Reaching for its own reflection
Narcissistic incantation
in my sky of love

Depths unfathomable of darkened light, the salt emaciates me when she is bright with crown hung low.

Pools of poems shimmer as she retreats, allowing me to ****** words, caress them before I nudge them from their nest, my chest and release the Word back to the sky.

Waves that slap, wake me from a slumber.  My turn to be the eyes and ears as the moon my love retreats petrifying souls to guard her celestial number.

Ojos Parlantes de Quito
No sé que pasó me bloqueaste y me borraste como si fuera tu ex-esposo.

Perdón si dije algo que no te gustó, la poesía no siempre es lo acontecido sino una exageración.  Es lo que usa el escritor pa encantar...que sus lectores lo lean y que lo vuelvan a alabar.

Sé que andas en un lugar muy obscuro pero quizás sería mejor ni juzgar te lo aseguro.  Imposible borrar lo que ya habías dicho tratarme así como si fuera un bicho.

Pero bien, tendrás tus razones pero pa curar aquel corazón y el alma, mejor tomes la poesía como algo que calma, y no te enfurezcas y obscurezca a tú alma.
Para Speaking Eyes....lo siento.... perdón...pero controles tu desdén

Punkin the Jura
My boy Eli, poet extrordinaire, punked the jura today.  He made a lot of sense so the pigs had a fit and squeeled off....rolled his windows up like a "punk *** ***** cop".  Dumb ****** rookie looking for sapos and a snitch...STOP!

Eli was just looking out for his fellow man....also his cousin, blood in part of the Garcia Cervantes, clan...he needs the help. He needs his family with millions of dollars to take the initiative and help their own people.

But since they've ignored their responsibilities, Eli was hoping the police, would step up...."protect and serve" the public's interest but **** those putos who only protect and serve their own...... ***** *** *****. **** THE COPS! **** THE PIGS! WHATCHOO GOT?
**** the police.....187 on an undercover cop...pinche jura...PO PO,' *******.. los chupa,.  Maricas hijueputa malparidos

Iris
I risked it all to have you in my sights and me be at your beckoned call.
I rise early every morning to make sure you're still fine.  And later in the evening we chat as I drink wine.
I respect that you live and wish to remain outside but if I see you slouching I'll fix you up inside.
I reside with Iris by my side. We like to watch her neighbors, the poppies on the right .

The Varrio 2
I take it back...
there's at least
one thing to see
and hear in the Varrio
on my block.....
Eli the poet who's
10 times been shot.  
His philosophy
resounds with me
and I must give him
credit for at least
two or three. . .

Pearls of wisdom that Mellifluously flew
from his mouth...
inspired by something
deep in his soul
that had to come out
which my hand
snatched from his air
to pencil as poetry
and to all of you reroute

PourANu Picasso 2018 Artshow
Introducing Picasso and Nunez aka ANu Picasso a pair of L.A. poets and painters coming to a gallery near you.  

Our first big gig will be at the Nuetra Gallery and Museum on Glendale Blvd. in Silver Lake coming up in September.

Come check out East and West Balanced, it will surely be an art show you'll always remember.  

Curated and coordinated by the one and only, Dulce Stein, Dulcepalloza 2018 guarantees a good time.

Just another ditty on who we are, this is a poem my partner Picasso put out:

BALANCED

He is the torch
I am the white
He is the dark
I am the light
We don't impress
   to be blessed.
We're blessed
   to impress
Hate us or love us
But don't love to hate us
We're the Ying and
the Yang of this Earth
Both with the
same day of birth
He is the east
and I am the west
But together we're
simply the best.
You are all cordially invited to the Neutra Museum and Gallery in Silver Lake, CA for our first big show at Dulcepalloza 2018.
Exact dates will be posted in subsequent poem.  Follow or stay tuned for details

To my favorite poet on HP
I've already said it but you deserve to hear praise twice
...and if you see in my poetry
I fancy myself God but compared to yours my poetry's just "nice"

Release me from your spell...you've got me drooling all over myself. It's not envy at all cuz you're on a way different level. Gem quality facets and brilliant bevels. To catch up to you I'd sell my soul to the devil.
Read Darcy.....this young poet is beyond the many dimensional universes that I can fathom

Antoine
I have it tough you see....
my dad thought
long and hard
bout the name
he'd give me.

Since he was M.A.N.
and I was first born,
does that make
me the Son of man?
I digress so don't
let me regress,
tangentially rant or
cause you any stress.

My father decided on
the French version
of his middle name;
I was thusly
anointed Antoine.

Being the first,
they expected a lot
but I guess they
had picked the right one.

It means beyond praise
and in those early days
as a prodigy child
everyone thought
I'd be The One.
