Between


BETWEEN

The Desire
such sounds strip seemingly
carving cravings
apart aligning above
bitterness below
demands demons devouring
hearts.
apart such cravings bitterness demands.

The Space
the fault line of my mind
the cracked spaces of my heart
the gaping holes of my loves
the distances of my connections
the silences of my thoughts
the separation of my desire
of emptiness the universe
can only be filled
with love



Al Mendoza, 2015

Without a Spider


You see? And there, there are it was. 

Yet, there are not you see.


#poetry #meditation #poets #poems #zen



Like the stadium devotee
The faces of the facing attending
Standing as the settee sitting
A single sound from the whispers now roars
Like a song.

Patched together pounding air
A kaleidoscope of sewn quilts
A uniformed blanket from the patterns
Like a dance.

So here is the coloured music of a symphony
Rolling the ties together a net, a web
We know from our distance there are so many
All like single stitches
Without a spider.

Pins of sound highlighting light
The very sound of it covers as a blanket sewn
Brightness strung together inside of spaces
Netted with hollow places and tied rhythms vibrating Without a theme
Like a storm.

"Of Wood and Ice" Al Mendoza 2004

Al-ice 0


zero is the never knowing 
nothing 
how much is gone 
she wants what she gets
beginning once again
from a plank 
empty

naught are the intimations
vacant 
so full are presence
she desires what she wants
anew in want of renewal
lightly standing 
open

before her always vistas
chasms
free flight in all directions
she possesses in her open embrace
the eternal internal 
on tip toes
leaping
