"A Cinqo De Mayo Soliloquy.................."





Overwhelmed and overloaded;
my emotional escalator
is descending dreamlike,
into the apathetic agony

and lingering lassitude
of longtime loneliness.


Hardened and hurting
my homeless heart hangs heavy,
isolated and insulated
by the ironic influence
of forgotten friends found
and newfound family.


Each exciting encounter
only exacerbates emptiness,
and delineates the distance
from hope to happiness
as dreams disintegrate
into impotent improbabilities.


Present possibilities
not promise nor projection,
fuel future fantasies
and mold mere memories
into visible victories,
and tangible triumphs.


Leaving a living legacy
to my children's children,
a life of loving laughter.
hiding hurt and heartache
from innocent inquisition,
& shielding shining souls
