Nicknames
I've been given several Nick's throughout my life. As an infant I was Gordo, in grammar school my buck teeth made me a ******.  In high school I became the infamous Johnny Chingas...a moniker I use in a certain way.  In college I was christened 20 perhaps I'll tell you why some day.  But of all the nicknames  I've been given there's only one I have heard no one speak...Crimson.  I will not die I will not rest until you say it out loud in front of me with all that heart and soul you hide locked up in that chest.

It was you and not ANother
that first fashioned Adamu
and have championed our cause ever since.

Bochica Kukulkan Quetzalcóatl great healer, protector of man .....from the Spite of his Father's hand.

Who smites and annihilates,
sends plagues to his people
and demands their first born?
Who calls for war and blood and keeps man in the dark?

Compared to Yahweh your picture is saintly
yet you bear the blame
Of all evil in this world

The blind shall open their eyes once the truth unfurls.

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.

Because I've never even seen you and I'm already head over heels.  In less than a month you've made me the happiest and luckiest guy in the whole universe and the two dimensions next door.....with your words, your ears, your mind, your kindness, your truth, your pain.......my crimson twin flame.

Eggplant Parmesan
If I don't ****** a doe it's eggplant parmesan for dinner.
Wait no no.... gotta use those nice zucchini and yellow summer squash too, add a lil provolone, with a homemade marinara, some asiago and a basil leaf to boot.  Fresh garden Napoleons....but it would be so much better with a rosemary skewered venison filet....here deer. .here deer.

Lucidity
I hate my memory but check this connection....Asher = Antony Uptown = lovely boy in love = Girl likes other poet's poems, start spending time with him = angry boy begins to feel abandoned tries to talk to girl who's showing her new attraction = angry begins to argue want to talk on phone =  pretty girl writes poem saying she logged out.  

Now angry boy is jealous and furious and reads all ancient poets words.  Angry tries to get old poet to IM as he pretends.  Old poet tells the crazy broad these poems aren't for her.  Angry boy can't get proof he needs of to prove to exgirlfriend" that new love is a liar, cheat and predator.   Meantime ancient Mariner and pretty girl begin to get hate messages and a "warning" of impending doom and hurt from Astral.  Old man and young Muse relate these weird messages to each other.  Mature man writes to Astral telling him step off.  Astral disappears and 24 hours later has filled "blood drained" pretty girl with lies making her believe old man only cheats and lust for more than her.  All of this in little more than 2 weeks of growing feelings and talking all night every night.  In weakened state she cannot see the sequence of events...nor motives for crushing her like this so she writes a players poem and begin to hate her friend.  Old man cannot comprehend how this whole tale unfolded until he projects again...he used his third eye to find the stories first page. Jealousy caused angry boy to create a scenario since he's lost her heart to old man...if I can't have her he can't either thinks angry boy.  plotting strategy to ruin old man's chances = knows unsure girl's fears = use these against her so he can't have her either = become ten women and create some crazy fiction to dethrone the champion of her hand.

Now I see motive for the lies to separate twin flame sensor.  I see an impossible timeline to be the womanizer I'm accused of being.  I see that the demise came about after the lies told to me meet with no response so Angry boy plays on her emotions to hopefully get regain....result is a good soul laying almost dead distraught destroyed and angry so into a shell she hides.  Everybody losses here my love...can't you see what I see.  Look at the timeframe to see the same movie and drama I can see.  But pretty girl won't even give okm man the time of day....I guess I must bow out...young Asher wins again.
Like I said...ask these broads about my scars, my birth marks, if I have hair on my chest or not....ask them specifics on dates and hours and compare to our chats....ask them my brand of cigarettes and what beer I drink.  Ask them what my my "Man candy" painting is about....many ways to prove them wrong if you want to but I guess you'd rather remain in useless pain and ghost on me my friend.  I'll wait...in time you'll return to me for you know I'm for you and you the only one for me.

Ud. Con Su Arte
Hágale pues mijo.. que si aquí a cualquier hijueputa se le dice doctor pues a cualquiera mierda se le puede llamar arte.

No te preocupes por
lo que dirán los demás..
Síguele duro y parejo,
fuerte y tenaz.

Exhibeselo a todo el mundo con entusiasmo y fervor y.....
Si ese es tu don
tu deseo tu ardor....

Dile a todos los que piensen pararte... pues ud. con su arte
y yo con mí arte
Colloquial Colombian double entendre that says don't let anyone get in the way of your artistic passion or hold you back from developing the gifts the universe has granted you. Tell them you do your thing and I'll do mine while ******* on you.  .......Impossible to truly translate the comedic double meaning

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

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

Creep
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so ******' special
But I'm a creep, I'm a ******.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so ******' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a ******.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so ******' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a ******,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

Too good to be true

Like this poem
I'm just as guilty as you
scrolling down hitting like without reading it through

I wanna read them all
I swear I do but I now
know how it hurts;
I feel really small

It's easier to glance
at a painting and see
what the artist intended
for you to believe

But to scan through
a poem to try and
get the gist...
does nobody justice
There's plenty to miss

I'll try to be better,
I'll slow it down
Give you all feedback
and not just
jump all around

Art is my salvation
a gift to cure my soul
Catharsis from creation
Pens and brushes

Laughter lends its colors

The phone rings...
Carlos - Hey brother
....just calling to let ya know H
passed away last night...asthma attack... couldn't revive em.
Me - what the ****.... we're falling like Dominoes bro.  Man...I didn't get a chance to tell him I forgave him.... Here's to you Harry.... your fight is over...see you on the other side.
My friends are falling like flies....Don't bottle the **** up....cuz there's no way to say those words when they're gone.
A true man will
always want his
woman by his side
if not in front....
men must recognize
we come from a woman
and that woman knew
what was best for us
before we did
Read Ashan Isa.... she's got great style and good taste

Men of Renown
So these Giants that roamed the earth in the days of the good Old book...the so called Nephilim.... with the the power to bound thru the sky!  

Are these, "the men of renown" the same ones that now shoot pro hoops downtown? It's easy to follow the logic you see... It's obvious these guys can fly indeed.

Hot today Cold tomorrow
Finicky we are... Trend for 3 days and then not.  Its all good its just timing..... The right words at the right moment.... you're not in a rut....don't panic. They read when the moon is full and people are manic.  But to create this way is to cater to the masses and to need the praises of poets looking through glasses.

I fly and shoot straight ....so I'll continue with my poems at the least likely time you'd expect.
And I don't care if it's read 10k times or none and could care less if you like it, I do it for fun.

But it also could be that like most other people you can't comprehend me. But if you want to just ask me I'll give you the key.

Marrow Deep
I didn't want to be here
Be doing this again
Looking for a lover
Looking for a friend

Absconded with my heart
Shattered soul it's counterpart
And here I go chasing
that first high again

It pains me to the marrow
But I stick it real deep
Looking for a lover
Looking for my friend

I didn't want to be here
Be doing this again
But I'll stick it out
til the very end

The Other Guy
Flying beneath the shadows in my mind, trying to catch a glimpse I hit rewind.

But every time I try to get ahead some fool steps in to paint my vision red and every time I try to do some good, the Beast escapes and chaos intrudes.

No brakes, can't stop... a mean old bull at heart.  No brakes can't stop once the fury starts.

The other guy is busting loose again run and hide cuz he's no one's friend.

Every time I try to get ahead some fool steps to make my eyes see red. Every time I try to do some good the Beast Escapes and chaos intrudes.

Flying beneath the shadows in rewind trying to catch a glimpse inside my mind.

Rising from these ashes I've called life.... Malignant thoughts subside no pain no strife.
My alter ego when I don't smoke enough herb.

I love the way the Brits speak
Love the way my curiosity she peaks.
I love people of all shapes, colors and sizes...tall short black white brown thin fat...  Their inside is what I look at.
I love that you wage the same war I do.....sometimes life is black other times blue.
I love that you want to learn how to fish....but I promise I'll always cook your favorite dish.
I love that you love Tiramisu.....it means the same thing I want to mean to you.
I love that you're willing to take your heels off so we can dance....there's no need to my love I'm stuck in this trance.
I love that you're you and never ever want your journey to be black or blue.
I love YOU!

Thank you God for showing me that you have some grand plan in mind even if it isn't what I thought that plan should nor if I know not yet what it could be.
Dialogo entre dos "duros" de Colombia......

Oiga Manolo, ud. sí que tiene huevo papá...

Pues  si hermano...pa qué echo cuentos....plata o plomo? Así de fácil.
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

My father was a womanizer
His infidelity broke my mom in two, shattered our family created hate inside my heart.  This is why I chose to be alone for fear that someone would do the same to me.  Reaction formation made me fall hard twice..thinking it was forever ...each one for more than 6 years....this time I fell harder thinking I was battered enough to make the wisest choice...that God had finally sent me the ONE.... Stick it deep until the end....as you said for the Long haul.  In my eyes you are the one and if God wills it he'll help you see things right.. and realize that in every thing I told you there was and is no single lie.  I love you for protecting your fragile heart and don't blame you for breaking mine apart.... you're the one I know that ...always have....I'd rather be with Bubba than have someone else by my side if God says it can't be you....I don't know what will happen as God does work in mysterious ways often with ulterior motives

Integrity
Thank you James for helping me remember that I deserve more than I've received....for it only matters that I and I alone know I've not deceived.

I'll not peddle off my power nor my morals defend with hate. I'll leave it to the man upstairs to judge me ..for him to seal my fate.

For when I stand before him I'll look Him in the eye not glance and look away.  So for now I'll keep on truckin' truth lights my lonesome way.

Pony Express
I'm waiting on a letter to tell me things are better....but i fear the horse and rider are lost in the hills of my imagination.  
Climbing attempting to reach high ground to touch the light. So many stars too dark to see too bright.
Sleep my philly, I'll have a nap.  Too lit to cross the River.  Tomorrow we'll see better regain our sight.... daytime is never quit as bright as the matins' starry night
The most important thing is not me nor us but your sister....I seek not pity as I have enough on my own.  I just wish these seeds of hate and distrust had never found they're way into the ground
