2011

Estas,
Pero desaparecida
Me buscas,
Convenientemente escondida
Soy la noche,
Tu mi día
No comprendo,
Esta pasión perdida.

2010-12-18T20:28:00.000-08:00

LENNON’S WOMAN

God creates woman
Woman mother’s mankind.
John was right…
…They are the other half in the sky.

CONTESTS & COMPETITIONS

I don’t want to be a winner,
Conquer anything…
…but your heart.

2010-11-14T19:14:00.000-08:00

SPECIAL

To you
My love I write
To you
My love I wake
To you
My love
I sigh
To you
My life
I stake.

PARTY OF FOUR

Like every other day,
I was setting the table for five
And all of a sudden realized…
…we are now a party of four,
It was a bittersweet celebration.

2010-07-19T14:33:00.000-07:00

NOT WRITING FOR NOW...

...I'm going visual.

2010-05-30T13:03:00.000-07:00

MEN AT WORK

Will return after
The 2010 World Cup.

2010-05-13T08:09:00.000-07:00

IGNORE

I wish you could
Delete and block people
In life, like you do
In Facebook,for example.
That would be paradise…

2010-04-30T22:37:00.000-07:00

WRITE AGAIN

I don’t believe writing everyday
Makes you a better writer.
If you have nothing memorable to say,
Please shut up.

2010-04-18T13:28:00.000-07:00

DON'T PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC

My daughter
Is getting married
My wife’s planning a
Wedding reception dance party
I’m begging her not to
She asks for a reason,
I say, “Just visualize”.

2010-04-04T15:01:00.000-07:00

I’M NOT JOKING

I’ve been told
My writing seems
Cynical, on the
Negative side/lately.
Sorry, but I just can't laugh when I hear a
Bad joke.

2010-03-28T15:07:00.000-07:00

BOSS

You know shit
And don’t even
Know it.

2010-03-22T09:03:00.000-07:00

DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND

Don’t toot your own horn,
It sounds terrible.

MICK

Time is not

On my side,
It’s by Jagger’s.

2010-02-25T21:10:00.000-08:00

FALLING…IN LOVE

When people fall in love
With themselves,
To me it’s one of the
Saddest love stories.

2010-02-20T09:42:00.000-08:00

OMG

Sometimes
You need to die
To be loved.

2010-02-09T16:51:00.000-08:00

THE PROCESS

Yesterday
I had an idea
Today
I can’t remember what it was
Tomorrow
I’ll think of something else.

2010-02-05T12:42:00.000-08:00

Tardy

I will wait
And wait,
Until it’s too
Late.

2010-02-01T11:37:00.000-08:00

LIGHTS PLEASE

As soon as I
Turn my back
Away from you,
Darkness blinds my soul.

2010-01-25T07:26:00.000-08:00

BADLY LIT

I do not seek the spotlight
It shines the insecure and
Smells like bullshit.

2010-01-18T14:21:00.000-08:00

HELLO

Let us
Not be strangers
In a strange world.

2010-01-12T08:15:00.000-08:00

MILES AND MILES

You said
"We may never meet"...
...Those were heartbreaking words
Of Wisdom.

2010-01-09T11:20:00.000-08:00

IN THREE LINES

I
Love
You.

2010-01-05T09:16:00.000-08:00

OURS

The moon
They share
Alone.

2010-01-02T08:25:00.000-08:00

END OF A DECADE

A far
We unite
Connect
On a cold December night
Elating our eyes
Soaring the skies
Mesmerized by you,
Blue Moon.

CHANGE OF MIND

I was going to write about iphoneography
But changed my mind.
Thought writing closing remarks before
2009 is over, but changed my mind.
There’s a cold front in Miami, it’s only 62 degrees and people here
Bundle up like it was Alaska. Thought writing about how ridiculous is that but changed my mind.
It’s going to be interesting to see what photo I choose to match this prose…

...gotta make up my mind.

2009-12-22T14:39:00.000-08:00

NOT IN THE SPIRIT

Hateful
Deceiving
And arrogant
The world should know your name,
But I’ll let you
Keep shooting yourself
In the foot.

2009-12-17T09:42:00.000-08:00

BRAINWAVE

Muse words spread
Scent of her smile
Worlds apart
I’m inspired by the mile.

2009-12-14T16:52:00.000-08:00

ETERNALLY

Immortality comes to mind,
Longing
Only for you.

2009-12-10T08:40:00.000-08:00

OCTOBER 8, 1953

Samuel Beckett wrote in one of his letters:

“How hard is it to reach a tolerable arrangement
between working & living”.

Ridiculously hard I say…!

2009-12-07T05:43:00.000-08:00

SHOOT

Turkish eyes

Distant beauty
Picture window soul
One click from you…
…afar I go.

RELAX

When you say 24 hours
Aren’t enough to get things
Done,
it’s probably a symptom of a.d.d.
Or you just need extra time to chill.
Either way,
Relax.

2009-11-16T09:53:00.000-08:00

Daze

We acknowledged
As one
Being there,
Engaged
In the same dream.
Parting at break of day
Was a faultless adieu.

2009-11-13T08:18:00.000-08:00

WHAT CAN I SAY

Contemplate
Not writing again
The process is weary,
Heavy.
Trying to lift the weight off
I sit on a white swiveling chair
Looking to entice the muse
Feeling dry like a bone,
I wish you could read my mind instead.

2009-11-09T19:23:00.000-08:00

iFEEL

Out of focus
Reality blurs

Photostream of the mind.

SUCKER

I was wrongfully backstabbed
Out of my job.
Now,
Your pleasure is my joy
The earshot heavy pant has deceased
Dealing with your lack of everything
Vanished perpetually…
…I’m walking streets of gold.

2009-11-02T07:37:00.000-08:00

SKY HIGH

Happy Birthday Mom
You know I’m not the
Social type,
But I’ll be a gatecrasher
At your party in Heaven.

TELENOVELA

I don’t like
Drama
I don’t need
Drama
I’ve quit
Drinking
Stopped smoking
Trying to be a better
Parent and husband…
…I simply don’t want to be
An episode of your Soap Opera.

FACELESSBOOK

Walking my dog by the bay
I hear a lady call my name
She doesn’t look familiar at all.
How can someone who hasn’t seen me
In years, suddenly recognize me?
I asked and she replied
“Facebook”
I am now franticly looking for
A “Facelessbook”.

2009-10-21T08:52:00.000-07:00

THIS IS MY NUMBER

I do like people
I do…
…just call first.

IPHONOGRAPHY

“What are you doing? Can I see your business card?
Do you have a permit to take these pictures? If I see those pictures online,
I’ll come and get you, I know
how to find them…I’m calling the cops on you”
I’m quoting the owner of my day’s last historic
Motel shoot on Biscayne Boulevard.
He made a big deal out of nothing, his
wife and small kids came out to witness his “heroism”…
…At the end we both lost, I had to delete my photos so not to waste the rest of my day with bored cops, and the Motel’s owner the chance of me immortalizing his property before it’s turned into rubble.

2009-10-15T11:00:00.000-07:00

FAREWELL

Another Day
A heavy sigh
The sea is lost
Forever blue
Evermore gone
What must I do?
Behind you left my feelings
And love that blooms for you.

2009-10-12T10:06:00.000-07:00

ROAD TRIP

Travelling with a tight loving family
Is home
Wherever you go.

SOBER

What I don’t like about
Not drinking are, the feelings of
Wanting to do so many things and
Not having enough time to do them.
What I like about
Not drinking is,
Everything else.

2009-10-05T09:01:00.000-07:00

MONDAY

If I have nothing interesting to say,
Why even try to put pen to paper?
I’m sorry, I need a long vacation.

2009-10-01T08:29:00.000-07:00

DUMB

Prides herself having a big mouth
But in reality,
She has no class.

2009-09-28T13:27:00.000-07:00

I TOLD YOU

When you have nothing good
To say about someone,
It’s best not to say anything.
Many times I’ve wished to be mute…

2009-09-25T14:13:00.000-07:00

TAKE THAT, AND MORE.

Humans,
We’re more miserable than
What we think.
Persistently whining
Hating
Fighting
Killing…
…after being blessed with the gift of life.
Feeling miserable after that just proves
How miserable we really are.

2009-09-23T09:27:00.000-07:00

CLICK

Considering allowing my eyes
Write down the stories,
Both are greater raconteurs.

2009-09-21T09:38:00.000-07:00

TRIP WITH A VIEW

Starting to get too visual
iphone camera is my latest addiction
High taking and retouching pictures
Getting handy applications…then, in a blink of an eye
I’m hooked on flickr
Uploading
Waiting for comments
Glancing at others work
Many should be in galleries…screw Facebook,
Need my next pixel fix.

2009-09-16T10:30:00.000-07:00

HIGH SCHOOL

The heavens are testing me
I was never a good student
But this one class I need to pass.

Dry
Riding streets of
Observations
Sentiment,
Rear mirror

Road rage.

PUBLIC ENEMY

Conscious of mirrors reflecting
Unbearable evil splendor and the wicked…

Blindness goes undetected by the monster.

STEREO CRY

Miserable people
Laugh ear splittingly loud...yet cry in mute.

2009-08-28T09:14:00.000-07:00

PATENTED

Ignorance is loud
Shameless
Has no self-esteem or taste
Never knocks
Enters unabashed
Brisk walk, spitting
Overlooking its condemned shadow.
Ignorance rests, doesn’t sleep
On stiff king size bed
Gets up and goes again
Always,
Nowhere.

2009-08-24T09:38:00.000-07:00

PEACEFUL PANIC

Don’t like doctors
Never had a physical in

HEAVENLY SONG

In a world of disasters
Poverty, hate death and sin…
Some are lucky enough to wake up
And want to sing.
Light shines, never fading
Crawling under the tightest, cheerless doors,
Eternal heaven light dances
Rocks, in the darkest cold floors.
Faith is the beat you wanna hear
Turn it up, sing out loud…
…Be a disciple, save a crowd.
Walking in distress, no matter how bad
Never helps, you’ll always be sad.
Look at the sky
Then go beyond
Follow the melody
Shake to the heavenly song.

2009-07-27T10:46:00.000-07:00

GREY

Don’t feel like writing,
Inspired
Expressing anything relevant
Imaginative.
I perceive the roar of thunder outside
And left my umbrella in the car.
Might as well get a hold of it before
I get totally washed out.

2009-07-24T08:27:00.000-07:00

HEARTBREAKING

There is no Bang
Echo
Thud
Reverberation
Crash
Thump
Whack
Blast
Worse than the sound
Of a broken heart.

NEWS BULLETIN

For many,
Bad news is
Good news
Joy is not an attention-grabbing headline.
Blasts
Detonation
Howls
Play sweeter than the
Seventh trumpet.
A ghastly day beats
Two rainbows over tea.
Don’t push your luck,
You might be breaking news.

No one is truly original
We talk
Walk

Dress and conduct ourselves
Conscious or unconsciously
After people we’ve met.
Cut the crap then and get real,
There are too many “ME’s” in this world.

INCONSISTENCY

I am a loner
Keep to myself
People are fine…at a distance
I’m not looking for fame
Recognition
Maybe set a good example
Privacy is my wealth,
So why am I sharing this
With you?

2009-06-21T14:29:00.000-07:00

LIVED

I don’t know much.
Left my Spanish speaking country
To live in San Francisco when I was one.
Lived there four years before departing en route to Japan,
Another Four years abroad.
Hard to master, let alone speak 3 different languages in such short Time.
Traveled back to my native Peru.
Was having a hard time in school.
Left to Rome,
Lived
Three and a half years before heading to Panama.
Grammar was a becoming a huge problem,
Too many languages, not enough time to learn them properly.
Now back to Peru,
Had to bribe my way to graduate from High School.
Took a year off,
Decided to attend School of Visual Arts in New York.
Lived four years in the “Big Apple”, got married, went back to Peru, Worked and lived in Lima eight years before leaving to Miami.
I’ve been living in the Sunshine State for the past seventeen years with my wife and three kids.
Lived in too many places,
Repeated the word “Lived” too many times,
Because I don’t know much.

2009-06-18T08:11:00.000-07:00

FIRST IN THE LINE

We are given life
Yet complain
Nothing is enough
So we blame
Everything is wrong
What a shame
Always ask for more
That’s the name of the game.

MANGO MAMA

Had dinner last night with a
Local Restaurant critic. Very
Cool to talk with a foodie like
Myself. We covered many topics and I asked questions like what would she eat every day on a deserted Island that provided no food. “Creamed spinach” she answered while I confessed my preference for Ceviche Mixto .
We ate at Sra. Martinez, a famous Chef’s cutting edge
Tapas restaurant in Miami. My food celebrity friend had
Heirloom Tomatoes with Murcia al Vino capeberries,pedro Ximenez, Cerignola olives and
Poached egg with asparagus. We both shared Pimientas de Padron, Spanish shisito peppers, sea salt.
I went cholesterol all the way sampling
Roasted Bone marrow grape tomatoes, sherry vinegar, tomato marmalade and a superb fresh Sea Urchin
Sandwich a la plancha, soy-ginger butter.
Courtesy of the Chef we tried Galbi Pinchos
Korean style marinade, Kohlrabi slaw and an Expresso with coffee from India before calling it a night.
On my way home passed by McDonald’s…
…I like that too.

MY WRITE EYE

My eyes don’t care about

Shutter speed
ISO
ASA
Photoshop
Double exposure
Remotes or any of the
Latest nerdy gadgets in the market,
My twin bulbs are old school.
They better see the world in black and white
Trying to adjust shooting digital pictures
Missing days of texture and grain.
Both work as a team
Take pictures based on
Feeling
Gut reaction
Keeping the style raw
Using their favorite tool… luck,
Determined to capture eternity

Tempestuous sentiment

Indifferent gaze
My soul’s at stake.

9 TO HELL

I always want to quit my job
No matter how much I’m making, the rank
Or how prestigious the company.
It’s a feeling I get many times only hours into
A new situation.
I love to work, Can’t see myself ever not
Doing so, but it’s the people I can do without…
…Pompous arrogant Jerks, suits, know it all’s with bad taste
Telling me how and what to do.
I’m off to roast some beets…alone.

2009-05-29T10:43:00.000-07:00

A minimalist.

EXTINCT

Selfish swims
Downstream egotistic waters
Inhalating lungful self - centered
Throw away.
Environment distorted,
Shadow beams
Murky rays of
Egocentric manifestation,
Reflecting obscure ambition
Nowhere.

BULLSHIT

Red is blue
Now and again
Subjective becomes objective
I
The one who sprints
Many pens
Wild to nowhere
Am lost…
…Second guessing
Your muse.
Dry
Beneath your white, summer snow,
Am I alone?

SLEEPWRITING

Had a great dream last night
Visually rich and fulfilling
Today lost in oblivion.
If I could be as disciplined as
Ginsberg and Burroughs to have
Pad and pen on my night table ready
To jump into action in case I wake up at night
To pen down my dream…Instead the one thing
I did not loose was my sleep.

MY VOTE

It’s always people who have
No moral values, people who are
Divorced,
Atheists,
Troubled,
Self-seeking,
Anarchists & Protestants,
Who criticize and blame
The Catholic Church for
Their discrepancies.
I pray for them
And that the devil
Never runs for president.

MAY I COME IN?

Inside
Drunken butterflies
Twirl
Free-falling with joy
Mind gyrates out of control,
Whispering lusty
Out of focus lullabies.
Outside
Desire knocks
Rigid
Erect gate,
Craving.

COMMON SENSE
Unexpected
Is always expected,
So why are you surprised?

OH WELL

Began writing about my Sunday,
It got too long.
Got bored while describing
My toe injury and then limping to church
So now,
I bore you with this much shorter poem
About nothing.

I Can’t write
Without looking
At the keyboard.

I DON’T LIKE LONG POEMS

Whatever I’m writing about
I try to express and condense it
Using the least amount of words.
My poems and prose are
Getting shorter and shorter.
Not sure if it’s because I’m a
Minimalist or just lazy.
