The Power of a Touch

Caress that heals

Touch that peels

Years of sanity

Dumped to the abyss

Empty valleys

Decaying myths

One touch can soothe

One-touch pruning off our core

wasted adorn

For one touch can build

One touch can demolish

Caress that remodels

Embrace that rebottles

One must be mindful

The power of connection

Mirage or Fulfilled embrace

Hydrologic Cycle

Did you know?

water evaporates

When heated at high temperatures

Only to rise, high into the sky

as the fluffiest of clouds

white cottony velvet, the more it evaporates

The more it forms
The more it morphs

into a darkened matter

full of thunder, lightning, and rain

exploding into the earth

full of overflowing storms

The rivers flow

cathartic show

the lakes, the oceans, the sea form

Then one day, the sun glows

The Earth heats

Evaporates

The cycle repeats, again, and again, and again, and again

Forever The Illusionist

The illusionist Forever

hiding behind the mask of memories

deep in the crevices of brain matter

flowing through each neuron, flowing water

Breathing through each dermal pore

delusional parasite in the womb of its host

Nothing lasts forever

not your worries, not your fears

not your joys, or your good fortunes

not your tragedies, or your sorrows

not your best moments, not even your life

Forever the Mascaraed

Forever The Illusionist

The New Beginning

The struggles are real

The battles of fear

In the darkest of moments

Blurry components

Blinders in chaos

Spares no opponents

Yet karma doesn’t always deliver

Because sometimes

in those moments

Moving in grace

through that critical space

is the new beginning

awaited deliverance

Faith’s Embrace

Sometimes Faith

Is all that holds me

When despair knocks at my door

Anxiety burdens my core

Overwhelm beckons my soul

Inability drowns my existence

Sometimes

In those moments

Life the enforcer

Pushing us to pause

The unknown is the abyss

But the unseen becomes wings

Parallel opponents

Synchronized components

Cyclical Muse

That carries me over

One more day

I Believe

Men-Oh-Pause

Men-Oh-Pause

Hell a Clause

Saddle affection

Deceiving perception

The body transforms

The mind unfolds

Fogginess sworms

Mental roller coaster

Un purchased ticket

Luv Duv Skipping

Inner Core on Fire

Lacking Desire

Thinning Hair

Lower Abdomen Swell

Did I loose my keys?

Inner Child Screams

On and on it seems

Men-Oh-Pause

Because maybe tomorrow

The Clock Rewinds

The wrinkles fade

I’ll dye my hair

And maybe than

I’ll be the perfect Scene

Maybe

Dia De Los Muertos

Gone by generations

Full of celebrations

Sea of creations

Colorful animations

Selfless invitations

To live, love, laugh

Honoring the melanin

Atomic creatinine

Seeping through the cracks

Once hindering packs

Leaving nothing but love, strength, and wisdom

From the ground up awake

Cultural awareness

Words That Lift

In the most somber moments

In the abysmal torments

Prayers were the string

Cruelty emptiness brings

A tear was shed

A sight was fed

Beyond hopes and dreams

All the beautiful things

Because prayers, wishes, and hopes

Can only take you so far

Nothing is ever perfect

Nothing is ever easy

But if you manifest and do

Figure out what works for you

The effort worth the work

Because prayers are only the string

Your work abundance shall bring

When you get into a prosperous routine

Candle Light

The flicker of a candle

Insignificant handle

That takes a room from dark to light

When every corner seems obscure

Your flickering shadows adorn

Providing light and even warmth

How insignificant a candle must be

To light an entire room

Unnoticed beautiful flame

Scented soothing aromas

Filling my nostrils and senses

Manifestation of places and faces

Spiritual haven

Wings of the Raven or Crow

Ancestral flow

In your light my spirit grows

Cry If You Must My Child

Cry if you must, my child

Don’t you know the flowers bloom

The Trees grow

The waters flow

Through winter, spring, summer, fall

Flowers wither, trees fall, floods happen

storms arrive

let the tears expel your disease

let the hurt strip you of your embryonic innocence

let your sorrows teach you lessons

that new-found wisdom can turn into blessings

Cry if you must, my child

don’t cry for the same thing again

just like those flowers

the trees, and those waters

will begin to bloom anew and shine their beauty again

feeding, nourishing abundant life & light

so will the garden of your soul

and the essence of your spirit

Because nothing in this world is permanent

not your greatest happiness

and not even your greatest sorrow
