Posted: 6/17/2008 11:17:36 AM | Sweet Lady J...this has taken me much toooo long...
But as they say
Its better late
Than never!
The woman that lives like she is so strong
The man that pretends he doesn't want a home
The child that wants nothing; especially love
The Minister pretending he is sent from above
Yes that reminded me of church on Sunday
And the Minister said, “Men, do you love your wife”
Are you faithful? Are you true?
It was not the message they expected
Certainly not on Father’s day
But it is known that infidelity
Runs rampant in every religion, in life
Not just with men, but with women too
Hypocrisy seems to be a human definition
Even the righteous have been hypocrites
I do not want it in my life
But damn its hard sometimes
For even I am guilty of that shit
Even I have caught myself
Doing it, No never infidelity just
Saying “not for me” then doing it
I am not proud, no not at all
But I try every time to correct
All the lines that I have crossed
And paint my road stripes fresh
Even if the ultimate punishment
Are Divine stripes across my back
I will take it like a woman | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 12:29:06 PM | Some awesome heartfelt writes on these last couple pages I see....so nice when we can enter a place where we find truth and humanity offered to all who enter this dwelling.
But I try every time to correct
All the lines that I have crossed
And paint my road stripes fresh
As long as wisdom is gained
from a past of mistakes
that we do not crumble
as beneath us our ground shakes
we are then considered to be
like a spring flower in constant growing
of where we need to be
more clearly through our past we are now knowing
eyes of great depth
of this world vividly see
that we must fight for what we want
never ever allow another no matter of station to tell us how our life should be. | |

a machete
slash and burn
throw out
the memories
no return
never again
mistake
from the start
listen to brain
or listen
to heart
suppress ego
let rage pass
keep moving
forward
don't dwell
on past
new canvas
new palette
new brushes
bright colors
whitewash
memories
go out
meet others
retool
refine
learn from
mistakes
take time
relax
whatever
it takes | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 2:20:04 PM | Can we toss memories away
is this a possible maneuvre
for a mind to play
are they not forever fixed
within us forever and a day
is it possible I ask
to send them on their way
I don't believe so
for in essence they make us who we are
regardless of joy or sadness they bring
from us they will never travel far
toss memories away I shall not do
for they take me on this road I have travelled long
memories that cause hurt
only remind me of how I became in life so strong
joyful memories I will always hold close
for they encourage me that life is worth living
that each step of the way as we walk this road
to another a memory we are giving. | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 1:47:20 PM | Thanks guys and ladies.......always awesome to read your dear words!
If I held out my hands and held your face...
would you shun me anyways?
When I gave you my heart when you wanted wine...
would you give your heart and shun me the same?
If you wondered if I remember you at all...
like the Pines that stand so ...tall!
She says "Only in the darkest night...I see your face...
feel your delight!"
When the winds get heavy and you no place to fall...
remember me ...on the border Pines...
You were once a true love of ...mine!
LOl....Bob Dylan....Girl from the North country...
He seems to so envision my life...
But I was so much ...older then ...
I am younger than that now!

Posted: 6/30/2008 7:02:29 PM | ~ Arlo Guthrie lyrics~Mystic Journey~
~ When A Soldier Makes It Home ~
Halfway around the world tonight
In a strange and foreign land
A soldier packs his memories
As he leaves Afghanistan
And back home they don't know too much
There's just no way to tell
I guess you had to be there
For to know that war was hell
Chorus:
And there won't be any victory parades
For those that's coming back
They'll fly them in at midnight
And unload the body sacks
And the living will be walking down
A long and lonely road
Because nobody seems to care these days
When a soldier makes it home
They'll say it wasn't easy
Just another job well done
As the government in Kabul falls
To the sounds of rebel guns
And the faces of the comrades
Being blown out of the sky
Leaves you bitter with the feeling
That they didn't have to die
Chorus
Halfway around the world tonight
In a strange and foreign land
A soldier unpacks memories
That he saved from Vietnam
Back home they didn't know too much
There was just no way to tell
I guess you had to be there
For to know that war was hell
And there wasn't any big parades
For those that made it back
They flew them in at midnight
And unloaded all the sacks
And the living were left walking down
A long and lonely road
Because nobody seemed to care back then
When a soldier made it home
The night is coming quickly
And the stars are on their way
As I stare into the evening
Looking for the words to say
That I saw the lonely soldier
Just a boy that's far from home
And I saw that I was just like him
While upon this earth I roam
And there may not be any big parades
If I ever make it back
As I come home under cover
Through a world that can't keep track
Of the heroes who have fallen
Let alone the ones who won't
Which is why nobody seems to care
When a soldier makes it home~
In Memory of all the lost soldiers in this War. God bless each one! | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 8:48:19 AM | Each day
together
we create sweet memories
that float
through my mind
so tenderly
bind do these happenings
tightly
unifyingly
to wrap us together forevermore
sweet memories
lasting memories
blessed are we with a future to create more. | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 9:22:33 AM | Remembering
I remember you
do you remember me
do childhood visions
come before your eyes to see
or have you forgotten
how as children we would play
I sit here to wonder
do I to your mind ever come your way
a rift in our relationship
has no communication for us anymore
your absence in my life
truly hits me in my inner core
wonder do I
how two so close could so quickly fall apart
yet no matter life's circumstances
still you roam there sweetly in my heart
try have I to make peace
yet a door you shut to my embrace
all I yearn to do dear brother
is to again share with you the same space
perhaps one day this shall be granted
God will hear me as I pray
then to me again
you into my life will make your way. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 8:47:38 AM | I hear ya wabby...I feel the same way!
If they do not make their way back into our life...
Not like we didn't try! Right?
I know your life was much of a hard one...
Little bro...mine was too!
I know you know that I loved ya all along
Through all the silent storm
We were kids caught in the crossfire
standin' on the bridge
Sometimes we both wanted to jump on in...
Yet we didn't and we went on just the same
Made our own lives ...made our own way!!
Know you off in the warmland...
I am here in the land of whatever
seems we are a million miles from each other
Know in my heart I still call ya ...
my brother...
I hope I am still your cwazy sistah...
Someday we shall get together
not for a funeral or someother disaster
Just to share and enjoy and talk
To just walk with my little brother...
Again!

Posted: 7/5/2008 9:07:01 AM | You always got friends no matter the distance Jules even from the young cowboy ermmm me :D
Thank you for all you have given
Thank you for all you have been
Inside I have never felt more open
Wondering where it's always been
Inside you always knew
I was shining through
What else is there to ammend
I'm extremely happy I can call you friend
If you ever need someone to run to
If your eyes are turning blue
I'll be there on demand
To dry those tears to sand
If I ever feel like crawling
I know you'll keep myself from falling
If I hear your voice lecturing
And not judging or comparing
I'll be better off knowing you cared
Only that you wanted the best of me is all that was shared
When we part ways for now
I'll know we'll find again somehow
And everything that has to pass
Will come again atlast
We'll make up in the end
That's how I'll truly call you friend | |

Years ago , the Fourth of July
We danced in the moonlight
Heard our own fireworks!
Guess somethings never leave
That image still suspended in me
my mind, my heart, my soul
You and Me...becoming one whole
This year I am much a different soul
I have no wings, I have no glow
Sometimes ya gotta have sweet memories
just to give you something to hold...to ease
all the pain ! | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 11:58:19 AM | Candy coated promises
Deaf words that fall unconsious
Dreams that only felt unhinged
From a window that sees only dim
Violent storms do awaken
Windows fly,....soul is taken
Once the Storm subsides
I can see only my eyes!
Sadly sitting ...staring ...squinting
What I see after the storm...
The Woman that was left
she is scorned!
I do remember how it felt
to give my heart with ...no regret~! | |

Posted: 8/11/2008 12:47:51 PM | Awwww Honey, you honor and touch me. Thank you so especially since there are poets waaay better than this girl floating around...
memories of a friend...
back in the day
when sciatica ripped me apart
he pulled me along by kayak
in the cool waters of the river
he knew the comfort it brought
cooling my back and my pain
in the waters of the Chetco
he knew I needed that, and did that for me
no question
back in the day
when he suffered a hernia
it was me he called to take him home
and I did that, would do that for my friend
thats what you do when you love someone
no question
back in the day when we'd hand out
I'd make rice, the best they ever had
it was tradition...E come over we'll have a bbq
just make that rice you make so good
God I loved doing that and did it willingly
no question
he talked about moving to the big island
surfing warm water waves...
and the house he would build there someday
and maybe he finally found it there
and now he's riding the most heavenly waves
and is living in the House just one he did not have to make
no question | |

Posted: 8/12/2008 10:14:00 AM | E. my friend, what a lovely tribute to your dear friend! Thank you for placing it here! Please return soon; and your poetry is quite the heavenly song to me!
They leave us here to wonder
Living our lives as we always have
Yet within each leaving;
they take a little part of us
As well, they leave with us something
something we could never get from another
It is his way and the world turns each day
Another day to right our wrongs
Discover all the other songs
he has sent our way!

Posted: 8/15/2008 8:25:27 AM | Time for me to go from here
Too much paranoid schizophrenia
Poetry is hardly left
words of shite..
just a mess!
Some just live to
leave the worst
cause of friends
they are lost for words!
I bid this nastiness
GOODBYE!
Belive me ,,,,
I shall never cry! 
Cause if you all even had a clue...
you would not live in here
poor....you!

Posted: 8/16/2008 7:58:48 PM | My inspiration:
The call of the muse;
Retrospective of the written word,
I sing, I dance, I write.
These tasks are my rituals
Rejoice in the glory of He;
The glorious ones
Whom provide the spark
I call on him
Them...
Humming, singing
Move my fingers
Sway my hips
I dance in the meadow
Let the spirit fill me;
Invoke in me passion
And reverence for all things;
Inspire me in all ways.

( ever read Love by Toni Morrisson ??--- Celestial is a character in there)
Just wanted to stop by and say hiya
Pachuca mama, take me to Pachuca
In the winter when the Monarchs come
I want to feel the hot day turn to freeze
And watch the forests red with wings
Hidalgo mama, take me to Hidalgo
I want to see the forest move in january
Watch the butterflies take flight by the millions
I want to stand tall above the canyons
Linda mami, pachamama
She's crying for her children lost
Come inside her kitchen door
Where life still brews healthy not in ruin
