"wrinkled" poems
I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine

If You Forget Me
Emaciated bones Shivering in shrunken clothes. Wrinkled faces,tired eyes Watching the sun is their only prize. Tears burn their cut up skin Work injures up their shins. They cannot speak for they weep for their farmlands They are so used to work,even with their old hands. They are dying,dying like flies Because they are poor and these are their lives

Poverty
Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon." Said the old man, "I do that too." The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants." "I do that too," laughed the little old man. Said the little boy, "I often cry." The old man nodded, "So do I." "But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems Grown-ups don't pay attention to me." And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. "I know what you mean," said the little old man.

The Little Boy and the Old Man
Ha kamatuoran la,  gin-susumhan na gud ako,   Diri ka pa ba gin-susumhan?   Hin mga buhat nga balik-balik nala?   Diri mo ba nahahalata?   Nga utro-utro nala kita?   Kun may napakiana ha imo, "Ano kumusta na?"   An pirmi mo baton: "Adi asya la gihapon, waray pinagkaibahan han kakulop!"   Ngan kontento ko na hito. *The truth is,  I am sick and tired. Aren’t you sick and tired?   Doing the same things over and over again? Still haven’t noticed it?   This has been like this again and again. When somebody asks you, “How is everything with you?”   Your usual reply is: “Oh nothing’s changed same as yesterday.” And you’re happy as it is.* Usahay liwat nabati ako ha imo nga utro-utro an reklamo.   Nga baga hin kadaan ngan guba nga plaka,   Balik-balik an tukar, masakit ha talinga.   Reklamo an imo pamahaw,   Ngan amo la gihapon hasta panihapon.   Kay kuno makuri.   Kay kuno waray salapi.   Kay kuno waray kapas.   Kun may sweldo daw la an pag-rineklamo, siguro maiha na unta nga nag-riko. *Sometimes, I will hear you complaining again and again. Like an old and broken retro vinyl, playing over and over again, it is hurting my ears. Complaining is your breakfast,   and it is your same meal for dinner. Because it’s hard.   Because we don’t have money.   Because I am powerless. If complaining will provide you a salary, perhaps by now, you might quite be wealthy.* Nagkatapo kita kanina ha dalan han "Kada Adlaw"   Asya la gihapon an imo sul-ot nga bado, ngan an kabutang han imo buhok.   Asya la gihapon an pagkakurumos han imo nawong, Ngan an bubble gum nga hasta yana imo la gihap ginsisinamsam.   Nangurog ako han kaluwad. Tigda ako nahingasuka ha imo atubangan.   Pasayloa, pero magpapadayon ka nala ba hito? Diri ka pa ba ginsusumhan?   Kay ha kamatuoran la,  Naamin ako Nga Oo. *I came across you at the street called “Everyday” You were wearing the same clothes, And your hair was fixed the same way. You were having the same wrinkled frown in your face,   and was chewing the same bubble gum. I cringe. I suddenly felt vomiting in front of you. I’m sorry, but will you keep on doing this?   Aren't you sick and tired? Because to be honest with you,  I think I am.*

One day my skin will be wrinkled my teeth will fall out my memories will fade and one day, my heart will stop my body will rot and I'll just be another person time forgot. But while I continue to age I'll make friends I'll have children I'll leave a mark on this world so although I have gone part of me will continue to live on

One Day
Soft  yellow sunrise my first morning waking up looking into your eyes Lying still in the moment to soak it all in a calm beating heart & an unscathed grin Wrinkled sheets and messy hair sipping fresh coffee in a chipped-paint chair A new beginning & the feeling of home making sense of the past and my journey alone It lead me to your smile, which lead me to your kiss and being wrapped in your angel wings in a night of heavenly bliss This morning I found my purpose and I hope to see 1000 more soft yellow sunrises streaming in behind your door

Soft Yellow Sunrise
upon the elephant rode a boy prince, his royal command, he was there to evince. dark with grace and dripping with youth. bringing his men, his crown and his couth. town after town he strode fierce through the gates. and any detractors were left to cruel fates. and on one windy day, as they strode into town. the faces where tenfold and a hush passed around the grey of the creature with knowing black eyes swayed left towards the crowd as if to capsize. and the mass gasped in horror; bairns seized by their mam. men flung at young ladies, babes pulled from the pram. the bewildered and flustered tired elephant sat. in the center of all on the bald pastors hat. the old pastor looked stunned to see such a disgrace. until he remembered, and composed his face. 'your highness' he bowed. his manners restored. but the poor prince was toppled his mighty seat floored. they gasped for the prince, just really a child dressed in fine silks on this elephant wild. pastor said, 'here now' extending an arm hand wrinkled and gnarled from the land that he farmed. then the guards sprung to life as if sudden awake guns point to the man of whose life they would take. and just as they squinted their eye for the aim a boy sang out sweetly, 'sire he's not to blame!' and the prince from street where he lay in pool held up his hand and recovered his rule. he looked at the crowd and he said 'boy now speak' the boy said, 'prince it is the prayers that you seek. the prayers that you'd visit. the prayers that you'd stay. lord must of heard them and granted this way.' his eyes wide with truth and the love of his church the prince laughed a beautiful belly filled lurch. the carriage was called as the prince shared a feast. and even some water was splashed on the beast. such a good time as he danced and he spun till the horses arrived in the dust of a run. to thank the town and the lovely haired boy the young prince gave up his own precious toy. the beast stays quite put in the center of town... but prayers said no more...so the prince won't fall down. sahn 04/10/2014

All this time you told me that the cotton candy was pink So I ate at the fluff behind the drywall I ate it all away Wondering why I got colder as I did so Do you know why the peacocks are always alone I’ve never seen more than one at a time And I suppose it is because they show all of their colors at once That isn’t allowed in this game, is it I thought not I don’t want to have that kind of plumage anymore Turn my skin gray and wrinkled and I will sit by like the elephant in the room Because I never asked you questions you didn’t like I never asked you to empty the sky into a pitcher just for me Do you know why the peacocks walk all alone? Curious, isn’t it? No friends at all.

speaking of you
Little Birds are dining Warily and well, Hid in mossy cell: Hid, I say, by waiters Gorgeous in their gaiters - I've a Tale to tell. Little Birds are feeding Justices with jam, Rich in frizzled ham: Rich, I say, in oysters Haunting shady cloisters - That is what I am. Little Birds are teaching Tigresses to smile, Innocent of guile: Smile, I say, not smirkle - Mouth a semicircle, That's the proper style! Little Birds are sleeping All among the pins, Where the loser wins: Where, I say, he sneezes When and how he pleases - So the Tale begins. Little Birds are writing Interesting books, To be read by cooks: Read, I say, not roasted - Letterpress, when toasted, Loses its good looks. Little Birds are playing Bagpipes on the shore, Where the tourists snore: "Thanks!" they cry. "'Tis thrilling! Take, oh take this shilling! Let us have no more!" Little Birds are bathing Crocodiles in cream, Like a happy dream: Like, but not so lasting - Crocodiles, when fasting, Are not all they seem! Little Birds are choking Baronets with bun, Taught to fire a gun: Taught, I say, to splinter Salmon in the winter - Merely for the fun. Little Birds are hiding Crimes in carpet-bags, Blessed by happy stags: Blessed, I say, though beaten - Since our friends are eaten When the memory flags. Little Birds are tasting Gratitude and gold, Pale with sudden cold: Pale, I say, and wrinkled - When the bells have tinkled, And the Tale is told.

Little Birds
Paperworks and all the lessons Sharpened my mind to behold more and more of that useless knowledge We would probably never use. Tests are bad enough. Marks at the corner teach us nothing but jealousy. The adults compare and judge as much as they want to And screamed and shouted cried and muttered. Exams are anything but better. You got stuck in a room Imprisoned by the tension. Suffocated by the hot headed determination to strive for the stars. Inhumanly high. This isn't hollywood movies Nothing like the literature essays 'how do we create tension' the subjects hold your fate but you did once told yourself 'I have no life' So what are we doing here? Wasting our days on something so terribly useless. Insignificant lectures when we know Accountants hated maths. Doctors hated biology. but they are who they are because of good results. They will realize no teachers like marking stupid homework. They hate the red crosses And so do we. Exams doesn't teach us how to be a good person. how to cope with beasty bullies.. how to survive on our own. It doesn't show any real talents nor your low (high) IQ It's just a pain in the **** You have to deal with before you became wrinkled, grey fuzzy and old.

What About Exams?
I see you there suspended for a time between the shadow and the light. You look pale but peaceful, in a dream state. I rest awhile, a shallow sleep, then I awake knowing… without words my mind whispers it’s time I gently wipe your lips, brush a stray hair from your forehead. It’s all I know to do. Then I sing a cherished lullaby hoping you hear me hoping it wraps you in love as my arms wrapped around you as a child. I hold your hand, kiss your forehead. In that instant I see and feel all you’ve been all that is you tiny wrinkled infant delightful, smiling six-month old curious toddler proud school age struggling teen loving adult realizing we're losing all of these, all that you've been all that is you then I feel your spirit leave… for that brief moment I’m overcome with a calm I can’t describe. A gift rare and precious – as I was there when you entered the world I was with you when you left.      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~         "The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough."   Rabinadrath Tagore

Moments In Time
I am Christian. I believe in the Trinity of the Holy God, The Son, and The Spirit, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the savior of mankind I own more than three Bibles I teach Sunday School every week and I pray every night. I am Christian, And as such I Hate queer.... Phobia. I can not stand intolerance And I cry at hatred, Blood running in the streets, Fear running in veins, Running away from the truth. I am Christian, yet There are bloodstains in my Bible And the prayers on my lips Are for forgiveness for who I am. The entire story of ***** is Crossed out, blacked out angrily In the dead of night In all 4 versions, Leviticus is blurred, Wrinkled with my tears, Soaked with my pain. I am Christian And I am not homophobic. I know my church won't recognize Non cis-het marriages, Leaving entire worlds of rainbows in the dark The higher-ups insist Weddings are white, shiny, husband-and-wife, happily-ever-after affairs That shove me and my friends, my family, my lovers, Into closets of heavenly wrath and Fire and brimstone sermons, Locked into personal hells of shame And confusion. I am Christian And I am not straight. My God doesn't hate me for who I love, He loves me because I try not to hate. So to the homophobic Christians, I ask: Who is your God? Who is your God that supposedly condemns people He has created in his own image? Your rainbow picket signs are nothing but a cruel mockery of a covenant Not truly shared by you. Your tongues are no better than the viper's who called Adam and Eve to sin, You are the vipers of my world. Do you think you avoid judgement When trans teens are killed By the bullets you spit with your words? Who is your God, That tells you to picket the funerals Of those you hate? Who is your God, That refuses to let you open your heart to differentness? I am Christian, And I don't need your permission to Love my God. Take my scars and tear-stained Bibles, Listen to my fervent prayers, Watch my lips tremble when I listen to my pastor. I don't need your permission To love who I want, In fact I don't want it. Take my midnight screaming and fear of coming out, Listen to my frantic pleading for a hand to hold, Watch my eyes linger on her chest. I am Christian. My God doesn't hate me for who I love, He hates you who refuse to love While you carry His name, if Not his blessing. So I ask again Who is your God? Because mine loves all of me, All 5'6" of queer pride. Who is your God?

They call me Ghetto. They call me gunfights and drive-bys, pregnant teens. They call me Poverty, and concrete winter walls splashed with blood-red graffiti. They call me junior-high druggies and gang-banging muchachos. They call me Mexico like it’s a ***** word. They call me Ghetto. But haven’t they seen through the white-washed walls of the “American Dream”? Don’t they know hurt and suffering, imperfections and neglect, as well? So call me Mexico; call me Poverty; call me Ghetto. I am run-down yards filled with laughing brown children, small apartments bursting with the scent of tamales, mingled with joy and the chatter of relatives. I am home-made tortillas at Thanksgiving and wrinkled hands pounding masa at Christmas. I am friendly smiles and shouted jokes followed by roaring laughter. I am the lilting syllables of a beautiful culture. I am comfort. They call me Ghetto and so I am.

Ghetto
A friend so good before, Turned into a foe. Now, he holds a cellphone, And wears wrinkled brows. Comes his textmate's reply, And he would flash a smile. But when I dare to talk, He would give a tiger look. No more time for a conversation, Just busy pressing the keys of his phone. Oh, I wish I had a magic, Break the phone and make him sick. His money instead for the food, He will use it for the load, And feels so uneasy, When words "low battery" display. Chores at home left undone, Waiting for a hardworking someone, 'Cause the "busy" person assigned, Is tired of thinking a nonsense reply. Dear friend, what have you got? You know you changed a lot, Have you taken the "poison" Of your stupid cellphone?

Poison in My Cellphone
i walked in a garden i saw roses, daisies, bougainvilleas pagoda and peonies too and somehow they reminded me of you the roses reminded me of your lips how it's so red and lovely how it curves whenever your smile along with your eyes how it separates when you laugh the daisies reminded me of your eyes how it slowly blooms beautifully in morning how lovely when it slowly closes at night how chatoyant it was when touched by light the bougainvillea reminded me of your being how you stood strong despite everything how you stayed lucent and beautiful how you let yourself bloom in many colours the pagoda reminded me of your skin how it's yellowish and eternally beautiful how smooth and soft it was how selcouth it seems in my retina the peonies reminded me of your heart how it's still exquisite despite of its fragile figure how it's still eesome even though it looks wrinkled how it stays strong and pulchritudinous walking in the garden felt serendipitious it felt like walking inside your existence and i liked it.

A Word dropped careless on a Page
She stands where the river blows her hair wild no youth and no favor for her no hands to clean the salt licks on her skin her palms are dreams wrinkled dry yet craving an offer. You come from a distant land, she says, heavens bless you. I got no small change, I respond, my mind drifts to ponder, a small change, I need that too, always hungered for and faltered through like I missed the vessel narrowly to be on the river's other side. Maybe when I come back, I turn toward her. She was gone.

Small Change
Im a calm, cool collected cucumber underneath this fandangled, wiry, wrinkled visage. Ive escaped the clutches of the tangled snare of my image. Where and when I belong and to whom is no matter. I pass by groups and clans and grimace inquisitively at thier chatter. To my ears its an alien clamour of clashing egos and look at me's. They'd all be happier in a lonesome cross legged position enjoying the breeze beneath the trees. With ease I float through my day passionately. Expanding and contracting with the waves of existence. I sway indefinitely. Yield to and renounce the question arisen from the back of the mind "what does it mean to be me"

Sledding, a white flurry of glitter Glass trees throw soft needles a-sprinkle A blissful silver rocket. It all flies by Sparkles of diamond on the ceiling or sky Radiant light, its fate to be wrinkled by the dim labyrinth of this shining prism. Gray aurora, dancing in the diamond rain Iron curtains hide the truth Glass and pains of steel, in a prism of gray Do you see windows or mirrors? All I see, a magnificent pane A merry toast! To all I say cheers, with a smile worth its years. Lift your brittle glass as you would lift a curse. And drink heartily from the once molten, crystal sand. Drink the guile and drink the hate Drink the lies of shame and berate Drink to see that a flower in  gray is a prism for life, not a fancy bouquet.

Glass of Crystal Sand
forged in the likeness of you the whisper meanders in my memory bank it dances softly on a burgundy velvet glove that covers my wrinkled hand it visits me in deepest dreams and speaks in hushed tones of the infinite days ahead when we shall once again dance together forged in the feeling of you I live each day like the last holding onto the past like a cat with a captured bird not allowing it to die waking to the sounds of winter winds and old favorites on the radio the ones we listened to together so many years ago those years that forged a love so strong that I rarely blink twice without the thought of you dancing by

All those laughters Are not always real All those faces in a park, Wrinkled and weary, Laugh in a circle, Devoid of happiness, No sign of a crinkle, Eyes without light, Devoid of life. Their happy sadness echoes, On the streets, in apartements, The dismal vibes reach us Yet they emanate the fake sentiments. Stoop a little and evesdrop that circle, They deceive emotions, black and purple, All you hear is a shouting troop, We know the truth of a laughing group.
