Estoy Boracho...

Y estoy en necesidad.  Quiero absolutotamente nada...  Lo tengo todo y no lo sabia y aunque lo tenga todo...quiero de ti...todavia quiero de ti.  Me ensenaste tu cara...quiero de ti.  Me ensenaste tu corazon...quiero de ti.  Me ensenaste tu cuerpo...y todavia quiero de ti...

Ultimamente...quiero de la cual no ha tenido.  La que me quiere a mi tambien...quiero de ti...

Tocar tu cara con mis labios, tocar tu cuerpo con mis manos y tocar tu corazon con el mio...quiero de ti...

Simplemente...quiero de ti...

September 28...1972

Well what do I say about Millie.  What can I say that I haven't written countless times or recanted to friends and lovers alike about the mother of my children.  One of the greatest loves of my life.  This woman has seen me grow into the man I am...largely due to our love.  She took it all...the good, the bad and the ugly.  We earned our place beside each other and she is one person I would trust with my life.  I have found none to match her strength, honor and sense of self-worth.  Something that is a rare among humans today.  I am blessed to have loved her with true passion, blessed to have seen her grow into the woman she is, blessed that she carries my name, blessed to have fathered her children and blessed that today, I can call her friend...even still.

Take a good look folks.  THIS is what I call...a woman...

Happy birthday babe...may our Lord continue to shine upon you and make this new year a springboard into great things.

Tender Muse - A Poem by Moe

Tender, she has called again
For time and place, the where the when
The newness now awaiting space
To step inside this empty place

Where once abode the new, now old
Where once was bought, now newly sold
Bought back by him to till and toil
This fertile ground, this tender soil

Whose cost required steady strength
And measured value, breadth and length
Of all the seed that he would sow
That worthy love has room to grow

For what was once a vibrant field
Was burned and branded worthless yield
Yet since this tender looked his way
He found the strength and worth to pay

Such tender beauty branded new
Would find his inner strength so true
And bring to life the man he was
To work the field of worthy cause

So tender planning he proceeds
By slowly pulling out old weeds
Those left behind by worthless yield
Have lost their claim to worthy field

And as for she, this tender muse
The day will come when she will choose
A field whose worth will match her own
To yield back love that she has sown

And when that land has born much fruit
Retaining strength from branch to root
Maybe he will bring to use
This brand new seed for tender muse

I Didn't Know...

When I set out this road to single-dom I had no idea what it would take to be "single".  I really thought it would be easy.  I thought I'd just be able to pull a switch and turn into someone that didn't think about consequence or another person's feelings.  I find myself now looking back at hearts I've left behind.  Beautiful souls that stay with me still but sadly know that I will never be more than what I am to them right now.  Some are okay with it, others...not so much.

Today's single life demands that you not give a sh*t about feelings, age or maturity.  You have to get "it" wherever and whenever you can.  With whomever is available and half-way decent.  Diseases and mental issues are an afterthought; two things a condom and a 3AM escape will fix right up.  A mindset that is no mindset.  It's just the "now" attitude that is driven by a selfish desire without thought or reservation.  It is something a man or woman of conscience has a very difficult time with and I for one, refuse to sucumb.  I am very far from being a prude yet there are boundaries I will not cross.  My cup carries so much in it that I will always be in a position "to know better" and being the man that I am...to that I will stay true. 

To some my way will be counted as "old" or "outdated" but I could give a sh*t.  I live and breathe in a world called "responsibility".  It's a grown up world where you live on your own.  You take care of yourself and those you are responsible for.  You carry lives on your shoulders making them like boulders strong enough to take on anything thrown at you.  It's a world where you are held accountable for your actions...now...or even later.  It's a world of men and women that do what they must to live as honorably as they can.  At most...in character.  It's what keeps our children looking up to us.  It's what makes our parents proud.  It's what you admire...

I choose to live eternally as a man of honor than to exchange it for anything temporal...even if I seem to "miss out"...later

Por Tanto Amarte...



Por tanto amarte
Because I loved you so much
rebalsé al corazón un día de invierno
I poured out my heart one winter day
un charco de lágrimas mojó mi soledad
A puddle of tears drenched my lonliness
por tanto amarte me olvide de mi.
Because I loved you so much I forgot about me

Por tanto soñarte
Because I dreamt of you so much
un día desperté y vi tu ausencia
One day I awakened and saw you were gone
en un lado izquierdo de la cama que no se arrugó
On the left side of the bed where there were no wrinkles
por tanto soñarte me olvide de mi.
Because I dreamt of you so much I forgot about me

Por tanto buscarte
Because I looked for you so much
resulté siendo yo quien no me encontraba
Resulted in me not finding myself
me quedé perdido en la calle de la tristeza
I stayed lost in the streets of sadness
por tanto buscarte me olvidé de mi.
Because I looked for you so much I forgot about me

Por tanto pensarte
Because I thought of you so much
me quede sin razones para olvidarte
I was left without reasons to forget you
me dejaste con llave de la puerta de los futuros
You left me with a key to the door to a future
por tanto pensarte me olvide de mi.
Because I thought of you so much I forgot about me

Por tanto amarte, por tanto soñarte,
Because I loved and dreamt of you so much
por tanto buscarte, por tanto pensarte,
Because I looked for you and thought of you so much
se me fue la vida
My life escaped me
y ni cuenta me di.
And I didnt even notice

En noches de frio
On cold nights
es recurrente la interrogante
The questions are recurring
si a valido la pena esperar a que regreses
If it's even worth waiting for you to return
por tanto amarte me olvide de vivir.
Because I loved you so much I forgot to live

Por tanto amarte, por tanto soñarte,
Because I loved and dreamt of you so much
por tanto buscarte, por tanto pensarte,
Because I looked for you and thought of you so much
se me fue la vida
My life escaped me
y ni cuenta me di.
And I didnt even notice

Por tanto amarte he resignado a vivir solo
Because I loved you so much I am resigned to live alone
tu espacio vacío nunca nadie lo llenará
The empty place you left no one can refill
aunque por tanto amarte
Yet even though I loved you so much
me olvide hasta de ti.
I even forgot about you


Damn this man can write!!!

Moments In The Fall...

Just one year ago he slept beside the one he thought would be the love of his life.  Now to reach over and find "empty" as the night air carries a sound...even a silence.  Even a whisper of "good night, I love you".  There is no hate in his heart, nor is there sadness.  Only the memory of moments in the Fall.  Where he savored the idea that he could love this one so much.  Where he finally came to realize that whatever moments he had left with her...had to mean something.  Where he knew...they had an end...

"Night air growing cold
His solice getting old

Yet pride's left to deceive

This man he faced reflection
Heard sweetly laced inflection
Of she who had to leave
..."

The Flame Undying

There she is...that flame untamed by wisdom and all manner of "right".  She taunts and haunts me at night when I'm alone...stripped down to the bone.  Thirsty for water, hungry for food.  That aimless desire that dictates my mood.  Awake to feel as I heal from everything dead.  Her color?  Red and black but sometimes white only cause it "feels" right...doesn't make it so.  I grow to know this flame has no name or face to place the chase it generates...but I look anyway.  I am a fool.

The road to her is boundless within boundaries, unlimited within limits and undying...among the dead.

"Cheer Up Kid!!!" :-)

Awesome words to me...words of my father.  Words I have used on my own children for years.  My two boys and their lives outshine any and all manner of storm that comes my way.  Their hearts and how they feel put into proper perspective all the little bullsh*t that causes me pain.  All that sh*t fades in the light of my ultimate calling..."father".  I remember why I never cry over spilt milk.  They jar my memory to recollect that there are so many more important things in life that require my energy and attention.  Being a good father is top among them.  We try so hard as parents not to repeat the mistakes of our own but my father didn't make many and I truly thank my God for such a gift.  Tonight, I thank God so much that he gave me someone that showed me how to be there for my own.  Not just to be someone that makes sure they have a meal every night but much more than just that...someone they could always turn to.  Someone that offers guidance without judgement.  Truth is I could never judge my own because doing so means I would judge myself.  As young as I am, my memory is still fresh as to how stupid I was at their age lol  How could I judge them for being just like their dad lol  My babies are growing up and I remain a proud father...even when they fail.  I am raising men...to be men.  It is truly an awesome endeavor.  Wow...

This is one of the main reasons I always say..."I am 37 going on 65" ;-)
