The thought of a kiss

The feeling right before the kiss

The ‘Oh my God it’s about to happen’ moment

The electricity,

The brush of the lips

The pull as you bring me in to completely lose the world around us,

That timeless kiss

Filling my heart of joy and happiness.

A kiss that melt my moment.

A kiss my love, just a kiss.

The Park

2012-05-10T06:10:00.000-07:00

Because anyone sitting still attracts desire,

Even this will not be given you, the park

In June, the silence of a bench at eleven o’clock

On a Monday morning, or four on a Thursday afternoon.

Someone will drift toward you, unattached

And lonely. The spell will be broken, the wrong word said.

It is cool, but there is no death in the few token leaves

That must have come down last night, in the rain that freshened,

The tree-smell that remains. For this season there is no name,

Not summer, and none of the months of the year—

A something inside you. Search your mind

For the green arboriferous Word the boys and girls swing out of

Like a tree, and the lovers

On the grass in tantric mode, in an ecstasy

Of untouching, and the human buddhas, legs infolded, reading.

Branches, sheer translucent leaves—

You would die to get under them forever, if it were given you,

The park, on this, a day like any other day,

And not the knowledge of everyone ever met

Who will come upon you, sooner or later,

If only you stay here. No, not people, or the walkways

Made in another century, or the murmur of the great city

Everywhere in the distance, but this breathing-space

Where the void no longer terrible

But to be relaxed in, the depressions

Which anyway here are mild, incoming from the west,

Slow-acting, chronic, lifelong not acute

Are there to be sat through, waited out

On a damp bench, as a man sweeps up around you

And the sun comes out in real time, stealing over the ground

-Harry Clifton

Only as far as I seek can I go

Only as deep as I look can I see

Only as much as I dream can I be"

Solitude

2012-05-04T11:29:00.000-07:00

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;

Weep, and you weep alone.

For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,

But has trouble enough of its own.

Sing, and the hills will answer,

Sigh, it is lost on the air.

The echoes bound to a joyful sound,

But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;

Grieve, and they turn and go.

They want full measure of all your pleasure,

But they do not need your woe.

Be glad, and your friends are many;

Be sad, and you lose them all.

There are none to decline your nectared wine,

But alone you must drink life's gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded;

Fast, and the world goes by.

Succeed and give, and it helps you live,

But no man can help you die.

There is room in the halls of pleasure

For a long and lordly train,

But one by one we must all file on

Through the narrow aisles of pain.

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

"He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity's sunrise"

"He who fears to suffer, suffers from fear."

Fearlessly You

2012-03-29T11:45:00.000-07:00

There is a trembling from inside,

That takes you to a daily peace,

Where your work becomes pride,

And doubts of the world cease.

It is the gold of given choice,

You must claim early every day,

To strengthen your own voice,

And the wings to carry you away.

Flying seems an impossible chance,

When you look only to the ground,

As silence seems a golden dance,

When hopeless is all you've found.

So, answer to the voices deep within,

Pick your shinning star and hold true,

Believe well before you even begin,

The meaning of life is fearlessly you.

~Poet Bartoluciano

Give it Away

2012-03-26T05:04:00.000-07:00

A bell is not bell ‘til you ring it,

A song is not song ‘til you sing it,

And love in your heart

Wasn’t put there to stay-

Love isn’t love

‘Til you give it away.

And ever-since I've been trying to unravel deepest enigmas,

so I can write the greatest poem and dedicate it to you..."

Time Is Mine And Its Matter

2012-03-13T06:52:00.001-07:00

I have lived thousand lifetimes before

So shall I again until I get it right

I am like the wind

I am chasing for the breeze

My soul is eternal but this vessel is not

I ride though existence on a horse named faith

God has granted me a soul to live, love, and learn

When my days are truly done I shall reunite with my maker

For the glory of all times

I shall watch eternity passing away as I spend it with my true love

I will be there when the sun spends its last fuel

I shall rise again at a new dawn of civilization

The divine has set my purpose

He is truly the master of all things and I his humble servant

May good graces follow you as I it does

The Holy Spirit dwells within us all

God is good and so are you

-Wilfred Mellers

Your skin like dawn

One paints the beginning

The other, the end of a
sure beginning.

You can make it be

2012-01-09T05:40:00.000-08:00

Two eyes across a crowded room,
A spark electric in the gloom
A fleeting glimpse of one with whom
You can truly feel free.
For one long beat the contact held
A time in which you are enspelled.
A time in which two souls can meld.
If only this could be.
Then comes a smile to match those eyes
A gentle voice invites your sighs
A voice as soft as butterflies that brush you tenderly.
A voice warms your senses in its folds
And gives in your heart to hold
The hope that this could be...

FADE AWAY

2011-11-22T12:17:00.000-08:00

The sun glistened through the window pane slowly creeping across my face

A gentle wake up call

The rays of warmth bring with it a memory of the night past with you

A smile looms on my lips

Stretching out across the bed gathering the blanket up high, burrowing deeper into soft pillows I sigh

Willing my eyes to stay closed, stay forever in this moment, the warmth that surrounds me I imagine your embrace wishing you here in my time and space.

Alarm goes off fantasy fading away to stay forever in your arms, your embrace

A cloud passes by taking away my sun and with it the warmth

I don’t want to wake from this feeling I struggle to stay here in this dream pull me in closer tell me you’ll stay

But it’s just a dream like the sun you fade away.

"Every exit is an entry somewhere else."

The Bridge

2011-09-26T05:15:00.000-07:00

Between now and now,
between I am and you are,
the word bridge.

Entering it
you enter yourself:
the world connects
adn closes like a ring.

From one bank to another,
there is always
a body stretched:
a rainbow.

I'll sleep beneath its arches.

Octavio Paz

IN THE EVENING

2011-09-15T07:14:00.000-07:00

Walking on different color of rainbow
Get the different feelings
Get the different beats
Every time I step on it
Every color has another story
Never enough, I still wish
Until the sky crying
And make the star falling
In the cold evening
Near on the darkness
I still watching
Uncertainty and impossible desire
Wishes for great happiness and eternity
It cannot all came true
Because it’s hard to understand
Life mystery, supremacy of the infinite
Glory of God
We cannot change destiny,
Just make it better

The color of the rainbow
Slow but surely disappearing with wind
I still watching
…
Still with my silence
