thrill


the assessment of love
with the division
of germinating words
that grow like trees
in my soul
i have to survive
such state of your life
such existence
of your wishes

MORNING SHOPPING


They were at the where house
I greeted them both
1 heart felt hug for each

Are you okay Juan?
I don’t look okay?
You do
You look better
But your mind seems dispersed

My mind is in a thousand places
But my heart is in one place

Stop by the shop
Bring the kids
So we can eat together

As they were leaving
His mother said to me
God is blessing you
And I believed her

SHORE


Fishing line is transparent
Almost invisible
I first noticed it on my shoes
Then I saw it tangling up my leg

The fisherman told his wife
“Look… we got one”
They smiled at each other
And I smiled back at them
Untangled my feet
And walked away

I was stepping
On nature’s semiconductors
And my joints were thankful

A white & blue fishing boat
Was near the shore
And a father & son duo
Passed me by
He said to the young boy
Don’t get hooked

RIDE


Driving near the ocean on summer days
Is very pleasant
Brilliant particles of presence

Beauty signs are always
On my cardinal points
Sometimes on other cars too
Sometimes on foot

Most often
On the corner of my eyes
Identifying the similarities
Of your company

That mixture of fear & excitement
Becomes pleasurable
Like the idea of you

MEN @ WORK


The rear-actor is on the street
It has destroyed the pavement
Making a wet trench

Muddy waters
But this time
Without music
Just radio chatter

I noticed its case number
Near its roof
The roof that protects
Its operator
From the elements

A generator that has wheels
Was next it
It told the story
Of past and present victories
On its body

A dump truck arrived
With a greeting inscribed
In red and white numbers

It said:
We are always
Here for you

PRECIOUS


Becoming filthy
Might be unavoidable
When you make your stand
On the ground

It is always a learning experience
A vote towards cleanliness
You’ll never want to be tainted again

The most painful part is
The remembrance of
The invisible existence of life

The cleansing properties of fire
Uncomfortably necessary
Medicinal brewing of the heart
Mind & soul
