Poet Introduction
I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me. Roy Lichtenstein
Sometimes
Sometimes I cry
And painfully try
To forget you
I bet you
Don’t mind.
And painfully try
To forget you
I bet you
Don’t mind.

In tune
High above the clouds
You're the wind under my wings
The shine in my eyes
Flight in unison
Simultaneous moving wings
Careful not to clash
Gliding graciously
Carried by the thermal lift
Heartbeats all in tune
Had a busy time
A lot of work to be done
Leisure time in sight
You're the wind under my wings
The shine in my eyes
Flight in unison
Simultaneous moving wings
Careful not to clash
Gliding graciously
Carried by the thermal lift
Heartbeats all in tune
Had a busy time
A lot of work to be done
Leisure time in sight

Close - Senryu
Damp skin close to mine
Conjunct like siamese twins
Inhaling our scents

Oh, well ... - Senryu
I have to admit
You were a dexterous lover
Best at lip service

Live! - Senryu
Dare to live and love
Don’t be burdened by your fears
Mind-lives aren’t enough
Don’t be burdened by your fears

Scorched Earth - Trilogy of Senryu
Where do I belong
Nowhere to go or disguise
Scorched earth all around
A freeway from pain
Heading for a better chance
Scorched earth left behind
Those roads I head along
I’ll be wand’ring home again
Roots and wings all mine
Nowhere to go or disguise
Scorched earth all around
A freeway from pain
Heading for a better chance
Scorched earth left behind
Those roads I head along
I’ll be wand’ring home again

A Liar’s Fate
What I wouldn’t give
for a razor sharp knife
to broaden your vain
and venomous smile
slicing it neatly
from ear to ear
cutting matters between us clear.
What I wouldn’t give
for a needle and thread
to re-stitch together that gaping slit
that ripped apart seam, sanguine and wet
so you’ll never ever be able for sure
to lie through your teeth any more.

Sunshine - Haiku - inspired by a painting by jagracia. Thank you, gracias, besitos! I love it!
Liquid sunshine pours
So fitted for beginnings
Lotic flow top down

End
I can’t blame you for this end.
I knew about the consequences
of our secret life,
of precious moments only lent.
You weren’t the only one
wanting too much,
ending with empty hands.
You aren’t the only one
with tears shed, the
echoes of a backward glance.
Yesterday there was still a we
today there’s nothing else
but a you and a me.

... is there?
Maybe I said …
You didn’t correct me
Maybe there’s hope

Colorful - Senryu
My love’s a rainbow
A bright bow from earth to sun
Airy vibe that breathes
I did it again.
Wrote a terribly long emotional poem
thought about it at least
as long as I had been crafting it
made an excerpt -
came up with a senryu.
Again. Sigh...
What's wrong with me?

Prey - Senryu
You’re a predator
Tracing the prey just for fun
Armed to wound in vain
