Lento Maez Poems

We seek and plea
For integrity

Sincerity and trust
...

Our children our lives
Lived with love and
Through the crises of
Two beings completing
...

My mornings allow me
To clear my poor mind
Of yesterdays troubles
And leave them behind
...

He was born not knowing
In the year of the cat
He should have been born
In the year of the rat
...

Separate realities
Two worlds
One thought
Love.
...

She wore polar fleece leggings
To keep her legs warm
As she turned when she danced
Slightly bending her arm
...

A tree grew in the yard
Its essence captivated me
The wonder was its caretaker
She planted flower around it
...

Sometimes others’ lives get in ones way
Try as one may they refuse to sway
It seems that all one can do is pray
That the irritable ones go away
...

A love called out
I heard its voice
Subdued it was
I had no choice
...

My poetry is remiss
Like a stolen kiss

It fails to please
...
