Feeling low is not all wrong.
Feeling down is absolutely fine.
Crying out pain is OK friend
and being sad is not a crime.
Just a piece of advice for anyone with low mood.
He thought he was rare
Bt I see with clear eyes
The treasure was me
Not the man in disguise.

Some poems seem to write
themselves;
I just move the pen.
Others are like lumps
of clay;
they refuse to be molded;
they need moisture and time.
This one is like
a robin that just learned
to use its wings.
It heads west, on a
gentle breeze, into
a tangerine sky.

Here is a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry from my latest book, Sleep Always Calls.  It is available on Amazon.  The latest video I did is a poetry reading at the Clear Lake Public Library.

Gracias a esa persona,
la que nada tiene que ver
con la que, en su día,
conociste y terminó
haciéndote infeliz.

La que jamás supo de ti,
ni aceptarte tal
y como eras...

ni poder comprobar ,
todo lo que te queda
por alcanzar.

La que no sabe ni sabrá
lo que se pierde...

porque nunca quiso
conocerte ni tampoco lo hará.

Tú,
como el río que,
a pesar de los obstáculos
y la rocas...

fluye constante y sereno
en dirección al mar.

Siendo el mismo de siempre,
más crecido y aprendido,
andas por la vida
sin estancarte...

siempre buscando mejorar,
sin dar pasos atrás.

Caminando por la vida libre,
sin sombras ni ataduras,
sin barreras ni obstáculos.

Y así, a tu manera:

¡Eres feliz!

Por eso, quien  se aleja de las
personas que aportan toxicidad,
negatividad o inestabilidad.

Lo hace sin rencor,
sin anhelar ni lamentar,
simplemente las deja ir,
deseándoles lo mejor.

Camina por la vida
libre, sereno,
sin sombras ni ataduras...

y a su manera es feliz.

Y no solo sabe lo que hace,
sino que,
inspira con su ejemplo,
a quien lo pueda necesitar.

Reflexión...

Quien sabe lo que quiere,
sabe lo que necesita,
sabe lo que le sobra
y lo que le falta.

Reconoce lo importante,
distingue lo que siente,
y vive en armonía...

con lo que piensa,
dice y hace,
por y para bien.

Y así de simple,
y así de claro,
y así de cierto...


Anda despierto,
¿o no?

Everyone has a past.
Some bad
Some great
Everyone has one though

Everyone also has a future if we let them;
Not everyone gets a future

One day you're laughing at them
The next day they aren't there for you to laugh at
No one realizes the extent of bullying until they take it
                                                                            Too
                                                                       Far.
No one knows what anyone is going through until someone takes it
                                                                                                 Too
                                                                                            Far.
Learn from your mistakes right?
Not everyone gets that chance.

Not everyone gets a future because bullies take things
                                                                           Too
                                                                      Far.

the indifferent blue,
the remnants of love.

the warm and longing eyes
once wide with wonder
now so cruel

because time is cruel

when love drifts down slowly
like fog and then dissipates.

have you ever ridden
the pale horse of death,
sought relief in madness or love,
and so reached for the sky
hoping for a miracle?

a hand to hold, a bed to share,

only the lonely feel the quiet ache
of one shadow falling on snow.

A narrow life I tread,
a path so worn, so thin.
The walls press close ahead,
and tear my soul within.

The sun burns bright outside,
on fields I may not roam.
My heart can scarcely hide
its aching call for home.

A home both wide and free,
where roots take hold, then grow;
where I may simply be,
and watch wild seedlings sow.

I often wonder if you actually exist,
are you real or simply a matrix glitch.
A fragment in my data stream,
a figment of some creative theme. Across the worlds beyond the seas,  the matrix offers all of these possibilities..
If you’re real how can it be proven?    Perhaps my imagination conjured what you’re doing,
where you are, where you’ve been,   I could have easily created you way down within..
So please let me know for sure,
that there’s more than AI’s out there..

Heavy, is your loss
"Pitter-Patter" of claws, silent
A lack of weight, weighs.

They tell a story,
Just take a look,
Are you heavy on the heel,
Or
Front first, Breaking the seal?

Do
You slide,
Wearing on the side?

It all becomes an unconscious act,
The pressure points,
Like a fingerprint,
On your daily stint.

Here's a little experiment,
You may wish to try,
Or not, I know there's many fish to fry,
While walking,
Observe your pressure points,
Then move them around,
From heel, to side to toes.

Breaking a routine,
Is good for the mind,
The sole's changing patterns,
You will find.

Song - "Take a Load Off Your Feet" The beach Boys.
Oh wondrous days of youth's sweet grace,  
When laughter danced across my face.  
Each simple joy, a treasure rare,  
In whispered winds, mystery was there.  

The world was bright, a canvas wide,  
With beauty found on every side.  
In every leaf and starry night,  
That wonder still lives, to my delight.  

So let me grasp those moments dear,  
For in my soul, they still appear.  
With open arms, I will create,
The wonder things had when I was just eight.
