Should I write a somber poem? "Tears flowed when the white winter snow was licked by a rising yellow sun on a glaring day in May" Any theme would work. "The flame danced when bushels of kisses were tossed in; despite the damp air they managed to feed" How should I proceed? "She reminds me … Continue reading Looking for Words

Thunder Haunts Our Marquee And Silhouettes
I don't know where you blew in from Could have been from the West, Asia Or dropped in from the stratosphere but What I do know, is that you evaporate fires Each time you rise over my warm brown soil Cool winds discharge copious amounts of rain Drowning bears, roses, cactuses, dogs and rainbow … Continue reading Thunder Haunts Our Marquee And Silhouettes
I See You
Shed your warm breath Smoke my lenses Cloud our eyes Fog my judgment I have a lantern We will clear the mist Break through the quilt And tear into pillows Leaving thin prints That mark our love Hiding amongst trees Next to an owl
Yup…Still Here
Hey…hey, look at me. Focus! You know my smile cross streets Sunset youth Brooklyn bodegas Recognize my unquenchable thirst which seeks your lightly carbonated dark stout as if dehydration would be cured by one long sip or better yet, a full headed pint poured into your custom curved glass accentuating roasted hips, coffee eyes and … Continue reading Yup…Still Here

I See You
Lately, I've been surrounded by surreal moments. Sitcom episodes starring me, the guy you like enough not to hate. The experiences have been astonishingly real, even without the glasses. If I still ate Twizzlers, this daily show would require two bags of plastics. Now, those that surround me only have access to some memorable seasons. … Continue reading I See You
Brugal & Coke
Of life the bartender and I spoke yesterday pouring my rum over ice, chilling the spirit “Make it a double the day was long” I said, “I need to forget it By poisoning myself a little, stunt life for a few hours keep it there” I told him “the bottle is my friend... we go … Continue reading Brugal & Coke
Hit Me
What should I text you? When will we Hangout? I'm sitting here thinking. Focused on your smile, the one on the other side. It burrows into my eyes, smearing Adobo against my lenses. The game of love is about hedging your bets then tilting your hand away. Carrying your winnings home before they are fated … Continue reading Hit Me
