Chuy Amante Poems

You have been loved, but WORSHIPED I'm doubtful,
Kindness extended, and nice words just a mouthful?

Many have felt love, in the head or in their pants,
...

UP out of the slime of human existence
I live like a DOG without resistance

I see, hear, smell and sense what is NOW
...

The love of a poet always bursting forth
frosting the earth for all it's worth

A poet full of hate,
...

Happiness is not hiding
but rarely is found
Happiness is abiding
only in the NOW
...

I watched as you turned 40
now mature and lightly thicker

From the rear of your car
...

Dear Brother Michael
how do you do it?

your love brews a warm storm
...

When did the romantic notes stop?

Did he buy your love
and then throw you on the top-
...

We chase love, all of our lives,
in case you are wondering, that is ALL of our lives.........

Do we do what it takes to earn it?
...

I got to thinking about all those people
who do crazy things! ! ! You know,
the ones that make the
news and the magazines
...

Whoever wakes first,
fake like you still sleep

So the other can get up
...
