life
Peso peasants
Many shirtless
Under the dreary sun
Live the life unpleasant
Begging
Mother earth
For rain,
A day another
Fruit for the brother
Toiling in the fields
Wondering what tomorrow
Shall yield
While feeble grandmas and uncles
Cousins
Weave nighttime warmth
hoping
the cactus gods
will relent
and one day
let the
ripe burning
thirsty and starving
tribes heal

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY veelay@hotmail.com
Hammock
Waves crashing along the seaside Beneath the diamond lit night Dreams and fantasies In the slipstream Fading out of sight In a seashell auditorium Bathed in moonlight  |
Evening Fright1Evening Fright Scarecrow The witness of silent lightning. Hears the first crack of thunder As the animals flee Rain starts to fall The sky breathes Her whipping cool breeze Cracks of lightning and trees Resound admist The rumbling angry skies While in candlelit houses The humbled for mercy plead |
Sunday
Golden light in the distance Blankets the horizon Beneath the endless Blue abyss Cool shadows Outside windows Birds sing As the wind blows No creature alone All together In the kingdom We call home |
Seaside Anchor
The irony of the clock The ride has ended The ship has docked The captain has departed Sailors flocked Only the Seals and seabirds The sea shells and crusted oysters Remain Upon glistening nighttime Sparkling moonlit Ocean plains |
The Space Between.
The answer lies within a dream At the end of the rainbow Before it burns away Heat mist vapor trails Burning into thin air |
High Upon StoneHigh Upon Stone Ice cracked bones Heart made of stone The statue sits upon its throne All alone birds tend Her loneliness Heeding her Muted cries Within is a heart That could never lie Outside a body and face That shall never die |
1958 Southwest Border history
Warmth of Steel guitars In warm bars Mellow blues Old news Nothing new Yesterday’s news Paperback writing Bad news Unconfiding Upon teary Eyes Forever always crying
In rides the horse Paperback rider Slowly galloping The devils news On fire Fearful gossip Acquired Bad news Ears tired Dogs Mothers Children Wish not To inquire Of the sojourning lonesome stranger Truthful liar |
Scope
Walkin Tru The shadows Light Beneath the midnight Lite In the end of the tunnel The light shines Bright Heaven’s sake Clarity Truth Lies Cool air skylights/ |
Eves Light
Jestures of love And light Lights of Twilight Moonlit nights Dry tears And sighs Soft cries Moaning Lies What lies Beyond the light Surprises of starlight Rebirth by The early Mornings Lite In the midnight True Loving blue Lovers ove One Another true Embracing dreams Beneath Moonbeams Within of wonderous Realms Cool pools Of blue With nothing But one another Nothing to Lose |
