Llegaste sin aviso,
E impediste que cayera en aquel gran abismo.
Te convertiste en el ancla de mi corazon vacío.
Tomaste mis dias aburridos,
Y los pintaste de colores vivos.

A medida que te conoci,
Mi corazon se lleno de ti.
Pero el tiempo hizo de las suyas,
Y lentamente te perdi.

La distancia, nuestra mayor enemiga.
Nuestros sueños, tan inalcanzables.

Aun así, intentamos de todo,
Pero el destino tenia otros planes.
Me agradó lo que pasamos juntos,
Aunque nunca te toqué.
Te ame a la distancia,
Eso no lo negare.

Ahora me duele tu partida,
Pero asi tenia que ser.

As exasperating as it sounds,
I know of love that merely hounds.
It breaches you, unshorn,
It tails you, worn.
It sits within the fists,
It masters all your glee,
It longs to drag you to your knee.

Poetry encompasses all aspects of the human experience.

This piece relates to the last visit.

A tragic part of life we all will someday endure.

If you already have, sending blessings.

Title:
Chapel at Rest

(A lone voice whispers)

Are lone goodbyes like lone turtle-doves that serenely fly away

In wild winds of memories of a once beautiful Yesteryear

Of one day
They're here
And one day they're gone.

But you always, afterwards, cry silently inside

In somewhere deep and quiet,

In new realms of unfamiliarity
Where beloved memories hide

When you remember moments of tranquility and sincerity

Before that old love went away and unjustly died

KKK
Marching in the streets.
Their faces hidden by hoods.
Hate by cowardice.
(A lone voice whispers)

From embracing love and whatever she brought.

Good or bad.

Family and friendships, and its many levels, linked to negative or positive relationships.

Even enduring tragic illnesses.

Sometimes Destiny destroys us to willingly embrace Metanoia

To change

For as the old saying goes

If you don't transform as you grow

Will your soul enjoy this version of your return

To the mighty
Gaia

The greatest of all the Universe's picture shows

As wanted or unwanted, gifts are exchanged?

Metanoia

A Greek term relating to a profound, transformative change of heart or an intellectual conversion of the mind.
I’m at a stand-still with you.

You ask for my advice.
I give it.

You don’t like it.
I offer something different.

Not good enough.
Then figure it out yourself.

I need your help.
Then I need you to accept it.

I paddle this verbal boat forward.
And you paddle it back.

We’re not really going anywhere.
Just making a splash.
Had a conversation with a friend… she likes to talk in circles. :)
What jungle is unfettered
Unrestrained online
Lifes imaginary heaven,
Amazon, Bezos breadline.

Like a god itself
It keeps on giving
Whatever hour
Whatever click

And I can give back
What dropped sour
From the branches

Monkeys ******* returns
Peeling ripe bananas.
Never lost
In this jungle Savannah

But God will be there
Fulfilling your need
Even if not needed
You land softly in greed.

There's his mistress,
Whole Foods, eager
To take your return
While you walk
Feeding their ledger.

Then you wake hungry
Again a trigger is tripped
Stumbling to a screen
Ill-equipped

Forever, until you stop.
