Gehenna

You live
commit sins
and believe
that your karma is clean
although you're just skins.
You should be dread
of the reckoning day
when you'll be dead.
Sisters and brothers slept together,
nuns wear a leather
and popes admit to gluttony.

Expected Nuclear Attack.

Eventually, these forms are probably
Going to come true,
A nuclear attack is about to happen,
As the circumstances speak for themselves,
The situation Is getting more and more complex every day,
Whatever little hopes were left
Also, slowly...

Stung Stunned

I'm left to feel,
Stung stunned.
Stung stunned.
I'm left to be stung stunned.
And unaware it would come.

No idea I had,
You felt for me the way you did.
When first we met.
To say immediately,
From head to toe.
You knew I was catch.
And...

One For One

Creating one more empty space
for every one I fill
Answers close within themselves
— questions open still

Love is Home

When no one cares, love admires
When no one understands, love is compassion
When no one wants to listen, love feels your prayers
When you lose your dreams, love gives you vision
When the world starts to be too much
Love is there with a tighter...

The XXI. modern creations of the 20th century: Glamour, Fasion Week fashion-trend galas in all quantities. There are no World Shouts, the seventy-seventh Cannes Film Festival, and more and more unpleasant, superficial Janus-faced minutemen who are...

Ballad of the dead mind poet

A gardener of foliac prose, word eternally in bloom.
Beauty grown with every stroke of the pen.
endless genius, in perpetual rows.
A green thumb philosopher, born from wordy obscurity.
A mind sharper than the points he sets into play.

Yet, as...

need

Maybe,
if I align myself with the things that people need.
Then I might need the way people do.
And someday.
I might be loved, and I might love.

Maybe, someday.

But I spend my days thinking of the life I would live.
If I could just get...

Bella sumisión de saciada pacion, amando esa emocion

El destino nos encuentra en nuestros pensamientos tan vagos dónde no importa nada,



Mirando ésos ojos que me esclavizan y me asen desear tu belleza en el bello reino de los cielos.


Cumpliendo nuestro destino donde no falta nada.

Words of Encouragement

I see you're focused on you. Nothing is more attractive than being the authentic
you.

I see you continue to excel in everything you do. I'm proud of you. That beautiful energy you bring comes from the heart.
Those God given gifts can't go to...

In God I Trust

Be gracious to me, O God,
Because man tramples on me;
All day long they have trod,
Oppressed and want to be free.

My foes trample all day long,
Many foes swallow me up;
I am weak but they are strong,
They put poison in my cup.

I have put...

It Doesn't Really Matter!

There's not much water in the tub
Not even when its full!
But that will never be "the rub"
For those whose life feels dull.

A pond is usually quite small
If you compare that pond
To any lake beneath a squall
As well when rain moves on.

Seldom Is It Not Always

Seldom is it not always.
Found to find another way,
To say and do...
A few things to choose,
What one wishes to want.
Without being stubborn.
Or refuse to remove,
An attitude determined to use.
In the belief this keeps,
That which is...
