Ingredients for a relationship I offer to you
Prior to meeting me you now have a clue
Putting your mouse to work you send me a few lines
Expecting in the weeks ahead everything will be fine.


I present my reasons behind entering this site
You; meanwhile assume the wrongs of your past will now turn out right
Your reasons for connection force me now to break away
The level of anguish increases with every additional passing day.


The pain of non acceptance is devastating on both sides
Seeking comfort in the company of a close friend to heal wounded pride
Searching continuously for companionship not wishing to lead someone falsely on
Feeling I did the right thing although in my heart it seems very wrong.

I ask you, in
My simple way,
To listen to my
Words, hear thoughts,
That I keep captive
In my mind; fearing
Once released, they
Fall on unwelcoming
Ears.

Be not offended when
I say that you are
Only of flesh and blood.
Your smile is human,
Your beauty bears no mortal
Equal, your words to my
Ears are of those that
Are human.

I am a man humbled
By an earthly beauty;
Angelic, I not desire.
An angel I cannot see;
To admire, hear speak,
Or dream to hold.

My eyes will never
Know the beauty the
Beauty of an angel.
My ears shall never
Hear the music Of
Her voice; in which
I feel no disappointment.

I see your smile,
I hear your voice, thoughts
And song as you speak.
I can see you, desire you,
Even if you choose not
To return the passion
I speak to you; for
My mind, heart and soul
Can keep prisoner of
These thoughts.

You are human,
Not Angelic, my
Passion stirs for this.
Please do not be offended
If I tell you you
Are only a woman;
For I am only a man,
Desiring to behold your
Beauty, your thoughts
And company on this Earth!

Waiting in line
among the crowd
ladies and children
couples and children

Childhood laughter
a beautiful young Hispanic girl
standing in front of me
silky black hair

Much like my lady

I think about
all the things
I'd rather be doing
than standing in line

I'd rather be kindling a fire
hurling logs to flame
with my Hispanic lady
mi alma gemela

We could watch waves collide
under dark circling clouds
with the rhythm of the tide
How I wish for her this moment

Te necesito mi amor

I can almost taste
the sweat dripping from her side
How i would rather watch
a meteor shower with her tonight

Veo que mi amor
eres hermosa

The beautiful lady in front of me
who reminds me of my lover
with long black silky hair...

Has the world come off hell’s hinges
Society worn out on drunken binges
What about all us mere smidgeons’
Flocking around a bunch of pigeons
My hand holding a wallet twinges
Rising oil prices making hair singes
Sheiks and oil barons make cringes
Profits high and an environment tinges
Not all is right like addict’s syringes
Welcome all to the lunatic fringes

When the sun is darkened and
the stars do not give their light
When mountains crumble and
rivers run dry
When we are separated by oceans
of time
When my heart ticks to the beat
of an impossible hope
She will know of my undying
love

My soul is falling down to your love
Frozen thoughts push me toward the light
Where am I going with you?
Thinking of death has covered the mind
I am alive with cold body in my coffin
My tears are falling down for your pain
I am dead with hot body in the grave
I can't see my fate in your eyes
Where am I going without you?
Make a way through the darkness forever
Light flees from my destiny to its home
I've lost in my dangerous imagination
Bring me your devotion again
I am waking with your dreams at my heart
My body is feeling numb in your hand
I've found myself maybe I am dreaming
You can feel my cold body again
Where am I going with my dead soul?

Dear God,
I hope you had a good day today,

Today I have families in my heart, and I want to share my thoughts and requests with you about all the daddies and mommies and children everywhere…,

I pray that you will help all the daddies to be poised in every way[including self-respect], to be strong, to be respectful, to be able at what they do, to be nice to their fellow-workers and their mean bosses, to betimes think of their children and their special mommy, and only her, not to be enticed by any other mommy and to smile inwardly and to send them loving, kind, gentle, happy thoughts…
Also dear God, I pray that when the daddies come home, they’re greeted with us children yelling:-“Yay! Daddy is home”, and with a special kiss from their special mommy that makes them all tingly inside…
Amen

Today, dear God, I also pray that you will help all the mommies, to be poised, to be nurturing, to be patient, to be wise, and strong, and also to respect themselves, and not to pay too much attention to their insecurities[like does daddy still love me? Of course he does, of course he does]. I know dear God that most mommies also have to go to work these days, and I ask that you mightily be with them there, and help them not to lose their femimininity[spelling mistake on purpose…] in this extremely yang world…
Also dear God, because mommies have sooo much to do these days,[too much], I pray that you will give them time to nurture themselves and put on their face mask, go the salon, etc., so that they can retain their outer beauty, even though their inner beauty always burns bright, mommies will become discouraged if their outer beauty does not keep up, and then they may begin to hide their inner beauty, and if that happens, you know and I know Lord, that the world is lost then…
Amen…


Lastly dear God, I pray for us children,
We’re so vulnerable, we need protection from so many things, we need guidance, we need nurturing, we need encouragement, and, of course we need happy daddies and happy mommies,
Because, as you know, we get our happiness from them dear lord…
Nevertheless, we are also tempted by many temptations that our mommies and daddies did not have in their day, too much violence on TV, violent computer games, porn on the internet, predators of every kind just waiting to prey on us…
Protect us from these ugly things dear lord…
But, dear God, don’t forget that we also need play and laughter and joy and peace and a strong feeling of security and above all, we need our mommies and daddies to teach us self-esteem, self-love, and the courage to pursue our dreams no matter how way out they may seem…

These things I ask dear Lord, as I now lay me down to sleep,
And I also pray for you dear God, ‘cause I know you have a lot to deal with as well, things like wars and floods and bad people who do not follow the way of love and peace,
God be with you too, dear God…
Thank you and bye for now,
Amen…

Be careful what you wish for.

Be sure that the jump
is worth the agony
you may feel
when you land.

Life has a way
of pummeling you
in the face.

Like a beautiful dream
that's gone forever
with the dreadful sound
of your alarm.

A radiant dream
disguised as the nightmare
of what you thought
life held for you.

To see so lucidly,
the importance
of pure and simple things.

You won't find contentment
in a bank account,
or the finest house on the block.

Look to the grown up dreams
of a little girl,
and the childhood dreams
of a grown up woman.

Our most cherished dreams
are one in the same.

Never take the straightest path,
never jump without looking.

Hang onto your dreams,
and never let go.

A lesson learned,
a little too late.

The jump may not kill you,
but your ownership in the decision,
will haunt you forever.

“half asleep”

she bit his leg
he bit her back
this went on for hours
they played ping pong
and watched the sunrise
the paper was at the door
the cows came home
the rooster crowed
still dawn wasn’t that dramatic
yin & yang couldn’t hold a candle
the ways of the world didn’t matter
worlds collided & formed anew after decades of uncertainty
now only the reflection in their eyes could light the dawn

it's you who needs a clue.
to be able to eat and chew.
able to swallow and grow.
create an appetite to blow.
able to be concerned.
of what you know and what you learned.
it's not a question of why?
this problem is all in the mind.

it's me who needs a peek.
to be able to run and be.
able to complain and cheat.
wondering why apathy so bleak.
able to be confused.
of how i live and why refuse?
cause this way i stay one way.
skinny, nauseous, dumb to say weight.
