Kerala Visit
kerala is peaceful and beautiful
in all cases and places
Keralite people are so cheerful
I can read "welcome" on faces
The Green Carpet of all guests
and pure nature to enjoy
generous people happily smiling
at any time of any day
Life in Kerala based on love
and clear hearts for caring
I love Kerala more than enough
I'll come back sure for sharing

The Art of Choosing
Choose,
Which is,
Which is not.
Choose,
What should be,
What should not be.
Choose,
How to be,
How not to be.
Choose,
Who will be,
Who will not be.
Choose,
Where to be,
Where not to be.
Choose,
What is,
What is not.
Amongst,
To choose,
To choose not.

Lilacs
Between the last customer
and morning light
in the parking lot of the Korean Gentleman's Club,
he picks lilacs for me.
Standing high against a warehouse wall,
these always bloom early, and
he goes annually, covertly, in the still dark,
unsure of welcome by the
Korean Gentlemen.
He fills the car.
I imagine that damp, spring-scented ride home,
his fantasy of be...

Dear Muse
Hide away
if you must.
I don't understand
what prompts you
to surface anyway.
I will do like I always do,
show up on the page,
stumble through what
I was put on earth to do,
share my truth.
I know even though you
fly away again and again
to do whatever muses do,
you will come back,
when I least expect
and light up my soul
with your beautiful words,
like you alwa...

Pretty Messy Things
The poetry is pretty perhaps,
And some may appreciate the aesthetics
While being put off by the messiness
Of the content, preferring a tidy theme.
And maybe you could clean it up
A bit to avoid making the prigs uncomfortable.
Say something about flowers by the seaside,
For example, and let us forget people have sex.
And let’s forget about messy conflict
In relationships,...

Love Lessons
He loves her but,
she loves him,
but he loves the mirror
like his lost love loves selfies.
Adoration, pointing every direction,
like weather vanes in a hurricane.
Each unware their
love affair
is bound to end.
Love lessons often repeat
until we understand that
real love begins within,
then overflows to others,
making the circle of love
complete.

The First Night We Met
You watched from behind
As I swayed to the music
The first night we met
No network coverage
To cover and color time
The first night we met
No calls to remind
Us that we’re not wild and free
The first night we met
You called me “beauty”
While I saw beauty in you
The first night we met
Nineteen-twenties jazz
Silent phones, no texts, and you

Love, Me
Beautiful dreamer
take solace with me
and a soft melody.
I will soothe you,
woo you,
set your spirit free.
You are never alone
when you love me.

Gilded Cage
Time after time
I give you another chance
to prove you still care.
You respond with
the venomous bite
of a rattlesnake.
How much more
poison can I take
before I am consumed
by the same dark spirit
that possesses you?
I know I should run
far away
but I have convinced myself
of the old cliche...
better the devil you know
than the devil you don't.
I know what to ex...

Tomorrow
Through my bleeding heart I cry
My eyes only seeing red
Silent tingles through my body I see you
I see my once happiness through your eyes
My body begins to overheat
But then you speak
Your words feeling as a bandage taping up my heart
I see clarity
In order for me to reach normal temp again
I must forgive
Being angry you consume a lot of pain
So tomorrow I will he...

PARADE OF HAPPINESS
She sits in the dark wondering why
her loves seems to always die.
Some are destine to succeed
they lead the parade of happiness.
She wants to jump on a float
wave to the crowd
saying "I'm in love!"
out loud.
But that dream is not near
instead far away
so she sits in the dark
holding her heart
with empty hands.

I could write
a thousand poems
inspired by your dimples
and the shadows they create
Poems that you

would never

HeyAmericaIWroteSomethingForYou
Dr. Love (or How I Learned to Stop Wallowing and Write Poetry)
By: Rodolfo Perez
Love is (sometimes) patient,
Love is (sometimes) kind,
And sometimes, love is a needle in the eye,
Or a kick to the groin.
It is a cliff-hanger,
With your mother waiting to catch you,
When you let go.
It is losing your voice,
From crying into your pillow.
It is real...

I never sleep when...
I never sleep when
looking at you,
I never sleep when
counting your breaths,
I never sleep when
watching you dress,
when you serve a dish...
when you write a report...
or choosing wine...
I never sleep
when you're turning a page...
when you're sitting astride...
when you're folding your arms and
pushing your toes into me.
I never sleep...

Waterside
Hold me while I fall apart
the little things I say as we sit by the waterside
my memories start to slip away like the waves up on the bay
what is he who comes to my side?
all the bad things start to fade away
take it away I say as he holds my hands
broken dreams, making plans
hold me I’m falling apart
this feeling surely cannot last by the waterside

Time
Walking in the rain, I’ve broken all the rules
looking back I was such a fool
come back inside you’ll catch a cold
I fall back into that aggressive hold
the storm will pass and we will grow old
or say goodbye before the time passes you by
nothing heals the past like time
that’s if you don’t lose your mind

I tried to write you a love song
I sat down to write you a love song
But I couldn't hear the music
Without you near.
I put down the pen,
Looked out the window
At the same sky you see
The same clouds you stopped in the street to watch
As they traveled across the sky.
You took my hand, I lifted my eyes
As the world passed by.
In that moment with
The wandering clouds
You wrote me a love song.

Love in a pickup
In his dad's pickup
There to pick you up
You watched from your bedroom window.
He parked right where last year
The maple tree fell during a storm
And Dad called you down.
In a striped blue skirt and a navy sweater
You flew down the stairs
There he was, and together
You climbed into the pickup.
He gave you his hand
You were small, and it was high up.
After the mo...

It's a Miracle, I Tell You
The staccato rain on the roof
The sudden parting of clouds
The silent worship of morning
The kettle's steamy clicking on the stove
The stellar jay defending the nest
The gang of crows flying off
The 100 bones of feet
The climbing of mountains
The slenderness of throat
The fullness of hymns on Sunday
The meeting of you
The knowing of me

The far away
There is calmness when he is around..
An aura of warmth which is so alluring
A balm of intimacy that pervades and surrounds
Life is crazy and beautiful in thousand ways..
Slowly seeping into the core of my existences
He has filled my darkness with splendid rays
A connect felt so acute even from far off distances

The Day Full of Warm Fondling
trailing the sun all day
always present your shadow
there is worry about
swinging in this chest
when I can't help you load
imagine your rhythmic day is not easy
should we be together with the ocean
take waves of restless storm ripples
although you don't have to
give up thousands of beatings
realize I'm just here
to accompany your heart
I accept your frustration
to reduce your anxi...

Bring Back the Pin Up
I was a sexual woman
I was…
Until my consent and its importance,
I was robbed of.
This is the year where-
I rediscover her
In my coven
Friend to friend
My witchy woman tell me how to be-
A proud feminine,
Love bug again
I know, I know!
I will observe you in your glory
Take notes, mimic my old self and copy-
My memory
When i was classy, polite and dressy...

Hilton Garden Inn
Hilton Garden Inn
I looked into those eyes
I felt home,
Ailive.
When your voice leaves your lips,
I wanted to hush them with a-
Kiss.
Invite you to my hotel to write
Gaze at your profile and that perfect jawline,
Trace your hands with a gentle touch,
Confess my love.
But, I pretend I am just a fan.
I await your arrival
Year after year,
Like a loyal dog.

Talking to my Tummy
Butterflies escaped my belly button
Maybe it was that I was too cold to feel nervous
A race horse inside her looped track
For being cool and real comes easier than-
Smiling and faking my personality
Like so many have told me to be.
If everyday was an interaction with the same-
Artists or like minded,
My life would be a giant inspiration.
People like me,
It seems,

Mother's Wings
My fluttering monarch wings aren’t a show of-
Love.
Rather a defect of being denied it,
Here again after I thought happiness found-
Me.
Your northeastern chill demeanor
An icicle that stabbed my heart and your weapon-
Melted
I’m still standing and like cupid with his arrow
I’m bleeding all of you.
I never said I wanted it to be easy hue
Of a dark blood red love.

The Beast is Me
This is absolute codswallop
my aura remains infectious
it moves in waves
it's fluctuant
and yet I evade another performance of mine-
like a shirk.
When i should be competitively ruthless as a shark
but, like a snake I slither away unnoticed
Typical Erin the artist a renowned flake
As a starving artist I feel it's my obligation to give the-
audience one hell of a perf...
