Ray Lucero Poems

When you sail troubled waters
I’m your oaken ship

Where you stand
...

Judge not, measure not,
The greatness of a soul;

By how one looks outside
...

Shakespeare wrote what we’ve forgotten
Human beings act their way through life
Sweet, ripe fruit, with a few gone rotten
All walk the keen edge of Lucifer’s knife
...

While standing by the glassy sea
We embraced, as lovers often do
A magic moment given you n' me
On a sandy beach near Honolulu
...

LSD better known as “Acid”
Can make you rave or rather flaccid

It's made crazed ones claw steep walls
...

The “Big Island” of Hawaii
Beautiful, lush and remote
Magic n’ wonder abound
“Once known as Mu” he wrote
...

Life number 5
Sum of 3+2
Magic revived
Mystic renewed
...

Before reluctant sun arose
one summer’s morn,
Her lithe, naked body
lay next to me
...

In school learned addition and subtraction
Fed fast food full of sodium, sugar and fat
Cell phone texts or tweets their interaction
By age 10 they have become techno-brats
...

POTUS "rattling sabers" once again,
He cannot wait to leave his mark!
He will lie to provoke war with Iran,
While Americans slumber in the dark
...
