your cries break my heart
and I hold you close until
you whimper into sleep

my gentle swaying and rhythm of my heart
guide you to sleep

my daughter,  I hope someday you
discover that the Divine Presence
holds you safe and close like I do

There will be times
I will not be with you
But remember that God
is always with you
Reflections on how the Divine Presence is like a loving parent that holds us safe.   My wife and I have been giving our daughter extra tender loving care as she gets over her first fever from a little virus.

Mano a mano
I will help, secure, and respect you.
Mano a mano
Don't knock me down
I won't hurt you.
Mano a mano
Pompous were your hands reaching up
Your pride got you, did it fill that prideful cup.
Mano a mano
You grew up a chicano
Went from man to boy.
Mano a mano
You kept saying pronto
I'm not your debutante rich ***, I'm low class, with a poor home.
Mano a mano
You still haven't grown up
Will you sincerely love me, its a must.

Mano a mano I am using for the context of hand to hand I know many make it man to man though this is its real style of write.

Would your eyes fill with tears as you heard the news that I was dead.
Would you fall to the ground and wonder why you didn't see it coming?
Would you come to my funeral wearing my favourite colours?
Would you remember me as a good friend?
Would you think about me?
Would you wonder what was the last thing that pushed me over the edge?
Would you miss me?
When all the words have been sung in songs
When all good has been tainted by wrongs
When all those you fall for are all dating
When they are too proud to feel a thing
When you love them more instead of hating
When  every pick up line's in songs they sing
When all you've known about loving is pain
When you lost each time you played the game
When every fall wrecks you again and again
When in every conclusion you carry the blame
When every poem you wish to write is already on paper
When every sacrifice you make is easily forgotten
When the venoms of betrayal hot as paper
Is all you got each chance of loving you've gotten

When she's never kissed you albeit its long overdue
When nothing changes or everything to the dogs
When she's seldom seen like the morning dew
When she's got only flakes of affection and you logs
When nothing makes sense from the way you're treated
When she shines like the stars but leaves you in darkness
When you kept advancing when you should have retreated
Because she stole the courage from you and she's your weakness
When touching her lights you up deep inside
When the closest you get to her's to feel her breath
When It's all crystal clear It's time to decide
When the option of walking away hurts as death
When all is but a wish for you and her to hold hands
And yet you won't speak about it for nobody ****** understands

I don't wish
for myself to die,
but I wish that
I was never born
I wouldn't die
after I'm broken,
but I'd be dead
before I'm torn

one of the unintended consequences
of living a mostly solitary secluded life
is not having caught the common cold
or any other person to person ailment
for well over a decade

I could never be a politician
not got the jaw for it
those pumped up mouth muscles
and a voice box to bore you to death
with overuse and comments on things
you have not really got a clue about
