Dia de Los Muertos

The first breath of a newborn

is relief in the ears of a father

to a mother, a new life form

counting all fingers and toes

each hair, follicle, skin fold

immersed in the scent

of a new baby born

the last breath yet to mourn

knowing life is a cycle

to appreciate life

death must be life’s norm

one breath exhaled death

in a breath, inhaled life

because death is part of life

That thing called Love

In the morning’s dew

or the evening’s breeze

in that crooked smile

or that beam of sunlight

in the midnight hour

romantic howl

or the bird that sings

lullaby love brings

in the essence of every crevice

not one thing unturned

because love, is a permeable thing

Penetrating Forms

life comes, and life goes

life simply flows

our minds get stuck

our memories retract

intentional attention

mindless motivation

filtering through pores

penetrating forms

reminisce and grow

let memories crescendo

from vital innuendos

and the rest, simply observe

Random Allegations

Into the night, I cried

the tears the lie

the fear, the pride

the scorn so norm

the smell or spell

the words took forms

unoccupied wombs

Mother Earth blooms

chaotic muse

subtle abuse

mirrored reflections

turned perceptions

confused allegations

cathartic expressions

all in a night’s work

all in a day’s work

from dusk until dawn

dawn until dusk
