Rick De La Pena Poems

Ruffles from her girlish days,
have given way to womanly ways.
Life's stuff is sometimes tough
ridges on her ruffled cuff.
...

When we dance, our spirit screams.
In our moves, we create our dreams.
We don't dance with our feet.
It's all about the upbeat.
...

Boots on the ground
men spellbound.
Pushing the line
prowess of a feline.
...

See her dancing in the sand
She was looking for someone's hand.
See her flying along
She's been doing it all wrong.
...

As far back as I can see
I drank from the cup of wine
I Ate of the apple
Lived life so divine.
...

Regrets, truths, baggage in tow
Life's journey sometimes takes its toll
With tender hands of bleeding uncertainty
In your lonely room, you pray for mercy.
...

Eyes that wear the sweetest face
See her walking with grace
dressed in leather and lace.
With her soothing face
...

Like waves on the ocean
her hair freely flows.
Opalescent Pearl eyes
a colored gaze that glows.
...

Waters calm swimming in the torrents of pleasures that be
Before I know I'm engulfed in the devil's sea
Feeling frightened I realize I cannot breathe
My mind screaming for things still I cannot see
...

My spirit keeps breaking
Every step is painstaking
My being I have forsaken
My soul keeps aching
...
