Born to die
Live to cry
Life is a river
Go with the flow!
As I stare
Far into the deep black sky
A twinkle in my eye
The light shines from such a distance
That it source is no longer in existence

Vast like the desert
Infinite like the universe
My heart & mind
Understanding them both
An endless moment in time

Personal Legend is the journey
Eternal alchemy is the key
Spirit in the Temple
please guide me
As I stare into eternity
Yours truly PAM!
Without food to eat the Nopal grew from the desert street.
The defending itself with thorns
Lacking water to drink
Somehow it produced tunas to eat
Knowing that they would judge the Nopal
By the fruits He bare
He was still proud, it was rare.
I wrote the poem “Nopal “ based off a Sunday church service about being judged by the fruits we bare as “Christians”. I asked myself what kind of fruit do I bare? Then I came to the conclusion that although I do not bare a lot of fruit, I produce fruit grown in the baron desert like the Nopal produces tunas. Not in great quantities, but high quality in a land of limited food. I am a Nopal.
Drama, trauma, toxic delirious
As though moving a checker to another square
My life perception is in despair
A great book read twice
Aristocats in Paradise
A façade to escape my life.
Inspired by The Great Gatsby
Hi my name is Michael
Sinner & Alcohol
Threatened by temptation
And still fall for it……
Know ye not the ye are the temple of GOD and the Spirit of GOD dwellest in you. 1 COR. 3:16
Jonny EL Nopal grew from a Baron land
The defending himself with thorns
Thirsty For water to drink
Somehow he produce pitayas to eat
Knowing that they would judge the Nopal
By the lack of fruits He bare
He was still proud, they was rare.  
Ripe with dimples, smiling with a dare
Even through pain, still willing to share  
A thorn to the heart as I stare, life is a mirage and he is no longer there.
Rewritten for my cousin Jonathan who passed away January 29, 2025. Born 05/11/1990
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.
A person with powers like mine never dies.
Ambiguous and open to interpretation, colorful and vibrant.
People are insecure, and their identities are in flux.
My poise and attitude increases the fear.
Never obsessed with the obsessive quality of peoples interest.
The ultimate social evil is boredom, which I AM not
Influence of people sense of self in this manner is insidious and profound.
With the gift to turn the base matters of words into gold.
Similar to the gift of the Philosopher’s Stone.
From the high desert looking down to the city
People in the material world I pity.
Looking from above it’s like an animal farm.
Sometimes I imagine strolling on down displaying my charm. Aristocats, sipping fine wine, but I will not talk to them.
I will not cast my pearls into the swine.
Oh yea **** your fine wine.
Warm & comfortable
Feathers & cotton
I AM cooler then the other other side
Where ever I lay, it provides
A soft place my tears
It's absorbed them for years
Wrapped around my head
It protects my ears
Silly play fights
During the day & Dreams at night
I Love my pillow it's the best
For alleviating stress.
This poem was inspired by a recovering addict at the Tarzana Treatment Center.
Imagine the alpha and Omega choose you to have a son. Her son physically weaker than Hercules slower than Achilles.
In a divine way he conquered without spreading hate.
We know man created his story but where is her story? Why do they keep it classified? Ye who records her story seduces history. Women have powers that are stored away and man suppress them because they're afraid.
All Hail Guadalupe!!!
Smiles like the sun, Affection like water
The Love Flower grew in front of my eyes.
Blooming with ambition!
In colors of joy, Tears in my eyes
The Love Flower has filled my heart.
Thank you for letting me see you bloom,
From the bottom of my heart.
Yours truly PAM!
Man in mad pursuit
One thing after another
Laboring to master the world
Bound by human limitations
Chasing after the wind
All work under the sun is vanity

Increase of knowledge
The spoken WORD
Ramble and Babel
In the end Death to the WORD.
Fear the man with the book
He’s quite savvy and talks, absurd.
All is vanity burn the books
They teach spells, they curse!
The ringing bell vibrating with no clock to punch
Tearing a hole through time & space
Looking for levers & circles to manipulate
Ring that bell at a high rate
Witness my mind state,
Enter the subconscious then create.
Downloaded from a cloud
Word chiseled on a Tablet:

At first there was the Word
Without sound it was heard
Sight beyond time
GOD, Our Temple, our mind.

First thought is natural
Second is choice
Action is reaction
In heaven as on Earth

Fear of the Lord refines hearts
The Love of Christ defines hearts
Holy Spirit surpasses knowledge
See you in the dark.
Moments in life feel cursed
Seeing my FAM in a Hurst
Broke as hell
I'll die in a Burst

Baptized by water
Puried by fire
Born with the eye of the tiger
I am mutible & inspire

In Pisces for 2000 years
A fish swimming in tears
As Aquarius appears
I'll spend the next 2000
Conquering fears
My birthday is February 26th 1986
