Ray Lucero Poems

There are those with open eyes
Whose hearts are closed
What do they see?
...

People want thee to be happy
Quit serving them thy pain
Declare mastery over misery
Transmute darkness into light
...

East brings life
West brings death
North bestows wisdom
South promises innocence
...

Speak not too ill of others
Thy words cast dark spells
Forming precipitous clouds
That shroud 'Light of Truth”
...

It was 'High Mesa' country,
A place between two worlds,
Once explored by Hernan Cortes,
During his quest for fame & fortune;
...

“We’re done” yelled the chubby Chief-Elf
A pleased expression on his ruddy face
As he set the last toy upon a bulging shelf
(A cute doll dressed up in pretty lace)
...

How sad is he this Winters day
Especially during Christmas season
His soul yearns for her so far away
Lord, there must be good reason
...

A babe born long ago of virgin birth
A story sold many times before
Fact or myth define they're worth
Sad tales that end in blood 'n gore
...

Archetypes of human perfection
Completion of the Yin and Yang
Capstones of natural selection
Betrothed, while Angels sang
...

Created in fields of grain
Geometrics for all to ponder
Messages to receptive brains
Not meant for man to squander
...
