When the hinges on the door open and the windows too leave their frame, and all that is about and around is the night’s sultry dark
Remember that the warmth of possibility
is the infinite count of stars above, always endless and shining for you–
beauty is a hinge of words that then becomes a ray passing through the window, glistening bright, the golden bowls over the table are full.
a swallow flew by
in early morning hours
i  asked it to fly under
your chin and lift it
if ever it was down
or if  the words of another
became torrential rain
that they may lend you
the oil on their wings
so that all which
could dampen you
slides off
Don’t make me an urn, make me a botellon de Barro for water.

Tell me as many times as you want that I should make a coffin, I will still make the frame of my bed first
, and over it, I will make love. I will make love
I pick goldenrod flowers to put in water, a smile calling joy.  
I open a bag of obleas de amaranto and crack one in half to make the meaningful.
I sit on a mat with a window overlooking pine trees, watching every sorrow and happiness shimmer over my green needles of experience while accepting I am just an observer watching through my eyes’ windows.
Joy, meaning and peace.
I will listen attentively as you knock on my door to propose a walk on a rainy day in sneakers and a light windbreaker. Heart, I will walk even if you take me through the mud.And if you can slow your pace and let me sit to look at the droplets collect on a common dandelion in my soaked hair & the wrong attire, then I promise you I will slug it out with you, my heart.
often times we abandon our heart sometimes for the comfort of others, for the safety and not risk, or because we yet do not trust our heart. But we should come back to our hearts and cultivate a compassion strong for our selves, trust ourselves and our heart. Maybe the lesson to learn is a hard one that requires pain for growth but if we abandon the heart then we never do grow.

    Left foot first with a smile

Emergency fire extinguisher and try to put the
Simmering fire of such a young girl's
