Interruptions



It infuriates me
when I’m interrupted
while sculpting my poems,
that does not in anyway
translate into something tangible,
with my day job
that puts food on my table

Of Wives and Lovers



Here’s to our wives and lovers. May they never meet. Cheers!

“My wife met her already.”

Damn. Must’ve been awful.

“Nope. How can she confront herself?”

Let me be the wind


Let me be the wind
that will whisper in your ear
“relax, it's me my dear”

Let me be the wind
that will pass by your cheeks
to give them a sweet light kiss

Let me be the wind
that will meet head-on your lips
as in love my fingers dip

Let me be the wind
that will sway your hair
and expose your shoulders bare

Let me be the wind
That will caress your thighs
And carry your scent
In the valleys and heights

Dealing with The Embodiments of Pure Evil in the Workplace

I must thank God
and probably
so should you –

that instead of diabolical plots
and rhapsodic images
of your sweet affliction,
He manifested Himself
through reason
before anything
I envisioned
would irreversibly
come to fruition


I must thank God
and probably
so should you –

that instead of regrets
and abysmal sorrow
or that fiendish grin
and gratified puffs
at the sight of
a gasping prey
and the smell of blood,
I uttered a silent
wailing plea
Supplicated for restraint
within my inner sanctuaries
And stabbed my journal
‘til its blood filled the oceans
as it is tossed to and fro
by tempests and billows

Dawn

I want to devour
the soggy dawn
While the flowers
Are about
In their fullness bloom

Give me while it’s warm
The dawn’s luscious mush
Before the day
Gets it all wilted
Withered in the sun

The Curse of Blessings



What good is my art
if instead of
empathy
sympathy
care and 
concern,
condescendence
vainglory and 
mockery
come forth of which?


Is my quest
to be
stronger
wiser
intellectually extravagant
justified
if my eyes
forsook looking up
and espoused the
delectability of looking down?


Is the by-product of
enlightenment
the disdain for 
both ignorance
and the ignorant?


Shouldn’t it instead
beget forgiveness
and understanding
despite that 
some people
are unforgiving
of your luminance
that improved
their blur
into shadows?

The Better Me

As parents, let us not aim to see a mirrored reflection of ourselves in our children. Rather, let us aim to see in them a better version of ourselves.
