the turning points spins again
an old poem that reminds me that everything spirals back into itself...
I’ve been gone now
long enough to go back home
but not enough
the utter essence of aloneness
an utter essence of aloneness. not lonliness because you are with yourself. all the way. the itchy sense of claustrophobia in your freedom. trapped in a moving vehicle of feelings. you sit and stare out at the blur of movement of stability. wondering who it is who's in which reality. the… Read full post »
dreaming about memories
I dreamt about you
passing in the halls
of the world
we created together
you grabbed me
sucked me in
to be held
by just a memory
of who we thought we are
but the energy was sent… Read full post »
ah fuck it...let's drink!
nothing ever lasts. it's inevitable. things change up. fuck up. in an instant. no one is who you think they are. and neither are you. love is all there is. and it's a big damn enigma to almost everyone.
i must be psychic...new love definitely only happens for a… Read full post »
the sky is falling
you stare into the blackness
upside down eyes
swerving up and down
and spinning all around
through the interconnected consciousness
flowing through with light
to stare back at you
in the unknown of the night
the sky opens up… Read full post »

peace offering
there's something i'm learning. that nobody's watching but the cows. there's no need to hide your yearning. because you're all alone anyhow. you and him. sun shining down, the grass rising up, the river flowing like it always does. together you make your peace. and nature accepts your offering as it… Read full post »
new love
on top of the world
the breeze flapping in the bed sheets
the stars shining with meaning
up above normal existence
you wrap my leg around your waist
deteriorating my resistance
down on bended knee
you hold on to me
while we fall… Read full post »
the half year mark
it seems that if you can make it 6 months somewhere other than home, something good will happen to you. it all changes. the cycle has turned it's tail. and there's adventure in the air. the half year mark denotes a spiraling craziness that just might be out of control.… Read full post »
enjoy the fucking ride
as soon as i realized the spiral (a while back), it became everywhere. life spirals. in and out of control. up and down. just when you think you can't get any more down, everything turns around. the upswirl. i'm sad because i have no friends and suddenly my phone starts ringing.… Read full post »
the laws of nature...it seems
working is driving me to drink.
no wonder the world is an alcoholic.
why did we make this type of work necessary...it seems to be killing us.
i remember a time when my life wasn't just work and then sleep because i'm so tired of work and… Read full post »
rooftop revelations
kitties laying around, chickens pecking around, dogs lounging around. the roof. the wind blowing through the top of the world. the church music vibrating through the stained-glass on the corner. the sunshine in the distant mountains. it's a perfect moment. to just be. to experience the reality. becau… Read full post »
will you wait for me to find you?
I knew in my heart that I’d never see him again. My head, I was still trying to convince. We sat on that bus, him waiting with me until the last possible moment when the engine started up and the vibrations let us know it was time to part. Sitting in… Read full post »
dizzying your self until you can see straight
here , there, and everywhere. it's all around you. this feeling of discontent. this feeling that things just ain't right yet. pieces are missing from your puzzle. and you know it. and you see the pieces. and you see the big picture. but you don't know how they fit. you're not… Read full post »
in the wink of a think
i thought a poem last night. but when i awoke in the mornin. it was forgotten. and now i'm tryin to rhyme. and doin fine. but there ain't no passion. and i'm not askin. but pretty sure i just need some inspiration. to give into the temptation. and complete the sensation.… Read full post »
la USA, never telling the whole truth
Did you know that since about three weeks ago there is no US embassy in Ecuador? Nor is there an Ecuadorian embassy in the states. Which means no visas for Ecuadorians. All because the US doesn't want Ecuador to have relations with Iran. Control freak. And the Embassy webpage says nothing… Read full post »
the desolation of 6 am
the desolation of 6 am sets in. a stroll in the street. a sunrise from the bus seat. a walk through the world. and up the hill of work. it's nice to be alone. when you're not the only one.
i need t0 be inspired.… Read full post »
resurrection
i'm stuck in a warp. soon to be blown apart. by something i've created. to destroy me. just when i'm breaking. the creation reigns again. and i succeed. in the solving of the puzzle of me.
semana santa. everything rises again. Read full post »
veinte cuatro
dramatic lil sky
go on, get dramatic sky
reflect what's goin on inside
my deep dark mind
bitch and moan
toss and turn
until you can't no more
because you've cried all your tears
and discovered all your fears
and left the ground soaking and damp
saturated with the love
of the wandering… Read full post »
coat your nature
i feel like being poetic. but i think i've lost it. the ability to flow. i'm no longer on the go. every place i am i'm on top. lookin down. watchin the sock hop. not willing to do a belly flop. into the deep. i'm not scared to get hurt anymore.… Read full post »
convenience used to make me mad, now it just makes me sad
recently, i've realized one major difference between the great american culture and those of the latin american countries i have lived in - the separation of home and work. removing where you live from where you work and shop and eat is what created the suburbs. and i… Read full post »

and i'm not sure if both are possible
simultaneously.

stupid decisions
you wake up in the morning, your subconscious having shattered your idealism of the entire life you had lived before you thought of it, and you realize you did something dumb. fucking dumb. but it's done. tarot cards are lying around. all sorts of things strewn about. and everything you knew… Read full post »
