Ray Lucero Poems

Proffered his love with ardor
Hoped she’d one day relent
She said “No, I’ll not barter”
A word he dare not circumvent
...

Tiny in its composition
Simple by any definition
“No” is not supposition
This robust admonition
...

Should you seek to offend
Make choices to pretend
In truth, you condescend
Cause damage to a friend
...

No man’s actually free
All answer to someone
It’s only through death
One escapes misery
...

Do you wanna dance?
Under twinkling stars
A chance for romance
This night shall be ours
...

Joseph knew the power of myth
This champion of archaic allegory
Storyteller, Master Wordsmith
Of magical, mythological stories
...

A mind perceives NEWS;
To believers, it’s Gospel
To doubters, apprehension
To mystics, illusory reality
...

In All His Wisdom;

God created human beings
From Darkness and Light
...

She, my Muse has gone away
For a much deserved holiday
My pen stilled, to great dismay
Growing impatient this protégé
...

Look deep into eyes of another
Into the windows of their soul
You’ll find that he’s your brother
This truth shall make you whole
...
