WRITE AGAIN

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

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”.

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.

BOSS

You know shit
And don’t even
Know it.

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.

FALLING…IN LOVE

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

OMG

Sometimes
You need to die
To be loved.

THE PROCESS

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

Tardy

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

LIGHTS PLEASE

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

BADLY LIT

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

HELLO

Let us
Not be strangers
In a strange world.

MILES AND MILES

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

IN THREE LINES

I
Love
You.

OURS

The moon
They share
Alone.

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.

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.

BRAINWAVE

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

ETERNALLY

Immortality comes to mind,
Longing
Only for you.

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…!

SHOOT

Turkish eyes

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

MYTUBE

Currently performing
Mind Maintenance
Be cool
I’ll be back
100%
Destiny allowed.

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.

Daze

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

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.

iFEEL

Out of focus
Reality blurs
Require heavenly application
Edit & upload
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.

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”.

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.

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.

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.

MONDAY

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

DUMB

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

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…

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.

CLICK

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

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.

HIGH SCHOOL

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

SPEED LIMIT

Dry
Riding streets of
Observations
Sentiment,
Rear mirror
Reflects numb
Road rage.

PUBLIC ENEMY

Conscious of mirrors reflecting
Unbearable evil splendor and the wicked…
… basking at likeness of hell.
Blindness goes undetected by the monster.

OTHER CHEEK

Your thorn
Is a blessing
Your abhorrence towards me
Multiply by eleven
Keep it up
Unlock my door to heaven.

GUESS

This one’s for you
I love you
And it’s not you.

STEREO CRY

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

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.
