STANLEY PACION Poems

Corporal, he saw time,
He saw thirty seconds, he saw temporal instant,
He saw the spin, the vortex, the end point,
The whirl whereat all disappeared, no fiction,
...

Let me take this moment, or two,
And publish, 'You are the best thing,
That has ever happened in my life! '

May God forgive;
...

I imagine that I must have surprised you,
What with your waiting game, your sport.
You exhausted me with your angler's skill.
You had me hooked, long on the line,
...

Well how do I say it?

Thinking about you makes me want to run,
Run, run, run, then spin and spin,
...

Though I may seem distant,
In reality I am close at hand.
No matter how far apart this life takes us,
You remain inseparable from me.
...

Dash it, Baby!
Is this the best we can manage.

Don't tell me! Have neither of us the sense,
...

True, though now it seems strange, when I look back,
Relate the times which once were mine.
I see the men from Columbia
Easy in their thousand-dollar suits
...

Legend holds that Zeus was a rake.
He had this thing for beautiful earth women,
And he had a bag full of tricks.
He would use any ploy,
...

Well! What do you say, honey?
I believe that I say it right.
It is God alone Who knows
The one dimensionality - the real tragedy -
...

How the couch swells, then sinks,
As if its cushions meaningfully form to bring your body
Still closer to mine.
...
