Ray Lucero Poems

Are you bewildered?
Why do you walk on stones and thorns with bare feet?

Beloved, don’t you know lovers do not walk on feet?
...

The moment I heard my first love story
I started looking for you
Not knowing how blind that could be
...

Love comes in;

Only in this one tender moment,
Can I deliver you from yourself
...

Hands free of violence
Mouths free of slander
Learning, without pride
Love...without venery
...

Behold the Sun’s Brilliance!

Blinding, hot, penetrating
Emanating countless beams
...

From your poetry
I know your heart
Words that heal or
Tear things apart
...

Wide eyed, full of wonder
Open heart, open mind
Eager, prone to blunder
Seeks wisdom, tho blind
...

I’m grateful when connected to you dear friend (my taste of sweetness)

You, that makes an oak tree strong and a rose a rose
...

She turned cold, bitter, feckless
True archetype of vexed tartness
With vinegar smile on pouted lips
Ran off friends and partnerships
...

Great Masters existed before Earth was created;

Before all was brought into existence
They stood chin high in wisdom
...
