I am that blade of grass that whence upon touched your lips.
In that pasture so green, air light with the fresh blooms of spring.
The one you played in as a child. Fresh with wonders unbound.
The wind upon your back is a reminder of me, for you to move forward always.
As you grow and feel as if no hope is left, look to the sky; youll see my face in the clouds.
I am your ancestor of old and your family of now.
You are everything I once was.
I pray for you to surpass me, to live a life I have only dreamt of.
I yearn for the moments of seeing you grow as girls into a women.
Becoming more beautiful and wise with each step through your kind-hearted treads.
Though I did not bear you, I could love you no more.
You are the everlasting sun on my back, even when the sky is dark.
You- both of you- are the center of my world.
As time goes on I pray that our bond gets stronger.
That not only am I an aunt, but a friend as well.
I hope to give you wisdom and advice.
I hope to protect you from the world abound.
I love you now and will love you always.

.Where The Rainbow Lurks
Despite the array of clouds and murk
There is a place a rainbow does lurk
Though it may not be so easy to view
You must look past, beyond and through
All the dusk and all the rain
Midst the chaos and the pain
Deep inside of you, it would seem
Lies a great wish, a new sort of dream
Follow that all the way, my dear friend
See where it leads, dont give up til the end
Hold fast and tight onto that rope
Whatever you do, just dont lose hope
For all the things youve wanted to be
Are all within reach, you just cannot see
Through the valleys, and over the peaks
I promise youll find what your heart seeks
If you push through one more day, even hour
The downpour may be just a quick shower
.
The pale walls of your existence haunt your every day
Your anger consumes your lonely soul, single-minded in your rage
Self-absorbed and selfish, never truly understanding the meaning or your sad life
So full of promises and hope
Foolish of me to ever think something could lay behind that beautiful exterior.
So much love is given to you, all in vane, for you could never possibly understand the meaning of it all.
Your pretty words and delicate touch flooded my mind with false bliss.
Now that your faade has fallen, what am I left to hold on to?
Misplaced anger and hatred. That is all.
Do I truly wish to spend my days living in such a manor?
Is my love strong enough to endure such unneeded anguish?
I am scared. For I love you so much.
You, just another lost soul in a sea full of them.
Living day to day life in an endless search for your own personal gratifications.
Only giving to gain, only gaining for yourself.
I long for the day that you are able to see past your own vain ideals.
But, alas, that day may never come.
Ive tried to see past all of this, for the sake of love.
But, once again, I am the fool.
raindrops on bike seat
outside of the sushi bar
fuck - no umbrella!
Standing here at the waters edge
The cool waves lapping at my feet
The sound is soothing and the sun is warm
A sailboat slowly drifting along pushed by a gentle breeze
Children playing and seagulls in the air
Clouds so puffy and white like cotton floating in the sky
And the coast seemingly goes on for miles
Umbrellas sprinkled across the sand
And mothers with their babies
Sun bathers and game players, and toys lay all around
Sand castles and seashells, treasures that are found
Couples walk along the shore, with smiles, hand in hand
Time forgotten as my senses soak up the beauty
Time forgotten as my senses soak up the beauty
The abundant joys of a simple day at the beach

in so far as I AM
we only long to be
in so far as WE are
the LIGHT seems to far to see
well, I say
the kingdom come is now in the process
of lessening the space that divides US...
Caz---1983
The only thing that keeps me sane,
I look around & all I see is suffering, torture & pain,
But I want to make it plain,
That nobody dies in vain,
The padre calls us another friend down,
As the sunset vigil is read upon the sand,
We see another comrade leave this foreign land,
Bombs, bullets & no solution,
Drive this place into total confusion,
When I'm home the mental nightmares begin,
I feel like I'm losing but I want to win.
Springs trees iced over
Melting slowly
Taking their time
Time flies by for you
The unknown awaits
A child ready to be born
Born into this world
A world full of mistakes
Surely you were prepared
Prepared to show her the way
Alas we all falter
But in this, you did not
Not only did you show
You taught her life
This you must know
Know that you have grown
A beautiful daughter
One worth loving
Loving with all of your being
From diapers to diplomas
Soon, youll set her free
Free into a world unknown
Mystery and fear
You taught her how to live
Live a life without fear
A leap, a bound
Forget the baby steps
Steps into strides
Strides into sprints
She wouldnt even be walking if it werent for you
You, the barer of life
The best gift you could give
A gift she will never forget
Forget her origins she will not
Proud of her mother
Proud of her life
The kingdom of Adam and his Eve
A breathtaking vision of the apple and its tree
The snake slithers- deadly its venom
This place subsequently adored by the restless
Restless souls relishing any consumption of unanimity
Free will; deceptive
Free will; the end of us all
Our souls
Released from purgatory,
Unknowing what is rightfully ours
A lie.
A monstrosity.
An incapable god overlooking his sons and daughters
A dictator in a land of holiness
Withholding their justifiable bliss
When all our souls obtain is a false kingdom
A kingdom of tethering peace
Every day
Every hour
Every minute
Every second,
I feel myself falling...
Slowly...
Down,
Down,
Down...
And if I could,
I would
Jump back up...
Just to avoid
That
Spiraling down effect.
Before she caught aflame.
Her Phoenix, I found
Under skin. Her grace I found in her name.
A concealed love,
Pure as sin.
To dress a pathway
To her denizen.
I hope there's peace inside
Your palace...
No wounds in words to say
In this ugly fucking day.
