independence day

you run away

before you even reach the edge

all of you.

…well,

those of you

who never knew

those of you too scared

to start the journey

to embark the climb

to arrive at the apex

before you… Read full post »

The Door

i'm swimming against the current here. and all the other fish are pissed off. but down there where the ocean has color and attitude, the other fish don't care. there is no one direction. it's only life. live it how you can. live it how you will. let the current take… Read full post »

blind confidence

i come

as quick as i go

but never you mind

because you're mine

and coming with me

wherever i may roam

it's the others 

who don't know

and act surprised

when they realize 

i've disappeared

and all they can see

is my shadow's shadow

slinking towards the distance… Read full post »

going back...

i'm going back...

 back to my baby.

seems like forever

since we've been together

but time has elapsed

only making us stronger

you are the one

who will be the other side of me

the one who can see my dreams

my reflection

in our fucked up perception

EL RITMO DE MOVIMIENTO: sittin in a sweat soaked bus, passin through the rural suburbia of guatemala. I have the thought: instability is for those who lack love. love allows the mundane to be divine. but it is also a distraction…driftin in and out of some form of meditation, I canRead full post »

A Rainy Season Memory

Silence has no sound. Everything is always moving.

Always had been a night person; there’s something grand about the moment you can stand outside, and know that everyone in the near distance is fast asleep. An in a civilized place, you can hear the wind.

Tonight, inRead full post »

split personalidad

me estas esperando

y solo por eso

estoy llegando...

for my love

for my reason

for the knowledge

that as soon as i'm in your arms

nothing else will matter

y todo la mierda

de esa tierra

is washed away 

with the time change

it's amazing

how much one flight

never been so clear

it's near

the switch

el cambio

the grand change that throws me back 

to the other culture

to where i was before...

only to take what i want

and hit the road

because i tested it out

and i thought it out

and it's not what i want

but i'm… Read full post »

The Shadows

i swear

i've been seein shadows

among the living

in the mirror

and on the ceiling

taunting me

with their questionable existence

and what it is

really revealing

zig zag wonderer

neither here nor there

not too keen on everywhere

but delighted by anywhere

unamused by nowhere

          for it's all there

unphased by somewhere

        all there to explore

why couldn't you just be cool?

it takes all the strength I can muster, as a mental being, to tell my id to shut the fuck up and just live life like I am supposed to. or just not cause conflict. but it’s not me that’s causing it. I’m inflicting it. into you. pointing out the difference.… Read full post »

infinite math

 

 

i sit on my cross legged throne

looking through the fabric of space time

plotting my path

on the spiraling graph of infinite math

i see your equation

equalizing mine

balancing us out among the tipsy turns of time

each the answer to the other

when the future… Read full post »

follow my love

 

 

you are ridiculous

the things you say

they are the perfect fit

to what we represent

a love headed toward infinity

just going whichever way

the other went

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

everyone should hear some one say

your poet

 

 

 

 

 

you are my muse

and i am your poet

manipulating the ideas

behind the prose

so well, in fact,

that you'd hardly even know it

but obvious enough

that your poet does

the emptiness that drives you

i want to run

until my legs have no where to go

but i don't want to run from

i want to run to

leaving has become my second nature

where if anyone expects anything from me (anymore)

it's that i'll leave

and i've been poetically complaining

for years

that i… Read full post »

when surreal and real meet

 

 

 

 

 

i don't let things come to me. i go to them. i don't follow the dream, i chase it. consciously. i mean, i created it. the dream. it's mine. so it's always been there. it's there all the time. but the journey is what i need.… Read full post »

puzzling head breakers

i'm amazed...

that the crazy mishapen pieces

always fall

right

into 

their place. 

to make a crazy mishapen adventure

a path pulsating

into the perfect

destiny

that brings together

my two dreams...

 

to love you

mi amor

and the world

mi vida

the same.

the beautiful different

it's uncomfortable

            that doing

that evokes that feeling

that brings upon 

not only admiration

but strangely,

also jealousy

that makes everyone

take a second

and process

what you might've just said

because there was enough

the real world

to be on.

all the time

is clearing my mind

but not

in a goodway.

to be off

some times

is very

necessary.

out and away

from the public display

 in and close

with you

as the central focus

to read yourself

and find out

what you'll become

when you're… Read full post »

honesty

it's all gonna happen. the way it's supposed to. if it was supposed to. 

everything i believe is based on the fact that none of it matters.

entonces, quien importa? 

gotta love a double meaning...in whichever sense of it existing. 

i like to talk of the abstract. of the… Read full post »

once i go

i thought i was looking for a place to stay

but i'm really

just looking for a place to go

i've proven

that i can settle down anywhere

after all, i am human

but there is a twist

in my subconcious

that allows me to roam

so that almost anywhere i… Read full post »

corazones torcidos

formando un nuevo camino

para caminar siempre

as long as it's with you...

it's a lil funny

that from guatemala

i took away a tattoo

something permanent 

but ethereal too

but what i took from ecuador

was something real

spiraling into what i feel

something that will always be

a part of me

what i took from ecuador

was you

your body is my chocolate

i want to write a love poem. but i can't. even though i know what i want to say...i don't know the form. there is this indescribable feeling that i've had since the day i met you. i remember being able to see the energy flowing between us. the dimensions were… Read full post »

Any advice on getting published?

How can you go about getting published? I am most interested in publishing poetry and maybe some book-like things...I just don't know where to start. I ain't looking to be famous but I'd like to get my words out there and maybe make some dinero...
