Short Mayan Poems

Cocoa pods ripe…

Bitter made sweet.

Packaged as treasures

For you, and for me....

Mayan culture 
First you invade and destroy it
Then you mythologies it 
And finally 
Makes it a tourist attraction...

I've never been to Rome or Nome
Or crawled through a Mayan catacomb.
I might explore
And travel more,
If I could do so without leaving home.

Queenly green wings cover
Quivering red belly.
Quick to find holes in trees,
Quiet there for safety.
Quite vocal while mating,
Quaver slurred notes in songs.
Quaint bird of Mayan cult....

If I had to feast on one last treat, 
I wouldn’t think twice. 
Palate pleasing plunge, elite - 
Farewell dark and bittersweet. 
Mayan, Belgian, Swiss -
Adieu to all spice -
Chocolate I will miss.

With him around you never know,
in the Summer it might snow.
   He's unpredictable like a lion,
a true mystery like the Mayan.
    He's the Emperor of my heart,
I know I've loved him from the start.
    Thanks to thee,
he's finally noticed me,
the boy who set me free....

A Nordic says "God lives in Asgard"

A Jew says "God lives in Heaven"

A Mayan says "God lives in the 13 Heavens"

A Samurai says "God lives in the Katana sword"

A Gnostic says "God lives within us"

If God was to be asked where he lives,
which abode do you think he would say?...

Stars form patterns to Ancient's Zodiac.
Creatures emerge, especially the snake.
Mayan watchers see the serpent go back,
Back into the earth at Equinox break.
What portends, only prophesies can make.

Past the temple is Astronomer's dome.
There prophets see futures where the stars roam....

Vulcan!
O ye, Fire God,
Begone!
Leave our golden land,
this avocado place,
where orange poppies ignite the springtime hills!
We scream out to Chaac,
our Mayan friend,
to bring it on,
his axe made of bullet proof lighting,
to make rain today,
colliding with burning clouds of ash,
that falls on our city
like bogus snow....

Olum geldi bana
Sordu adimi
hatirladim

Animsadim
Anamin gulusunu
Kol kanat gerisini

Hayat yabanci
Cocuklugum

Unutmadim  askimi
Meyvesini  buyuttugum
bogazima takildi nefesim
Yedigim ictigim 
Bir yudum hayat
Bir nefes bir icimsu
olmemis cocuklugum
Birakin tutmayin

" ... she could be..."

The Mason's Monk 

is the Mayan

You see, gentlemen...

a Mater of Mine said 

you'd sign the rhyme

so I pose to propose

we share in the dare

and bare the sublime...



"... five by five..."

"... she's a keeper..."



I am, 

a key person

reckoning the right time

as God speeds

from the sun......

White lotus at red feet:
we will start self-infliction
explicating
with regrets.

After a rough night
the day was weeping.
From where the bread will
come, when you were playing
with a golden spoon.

This morning I again
dig a hole in heart.
Was the Mayan calender right ?
Why the sun is playing slow music ?

I am coming nearer
to a locked god.

No people or culture
lack the knowledge of God,
no matter how tribal
or famed

A Buddhist, Swahili,
a Mayan or Jew,
His message embedded,
ingrained

Those willing to listen
and heed to His call,
a power within
drives them on

Until Armageddon
brings light to the dark,
our natures so given
—to Him will belong

(The First Book Of Prayers: January, 2022)...

You’ve heard of a destination wedding?
What about a destination restaurant.
Head to Mexico’s Kin Toh Restaurant.
High above the Mayan jungle.
You enjoy cocktails mixed by talented bartenders.
And enjoy avant-garde cuisine full of organic vegetables.
While gazing toward the Caribbean sunset.
Each night they feature a world-renown performer.
Destination Restaurant – Kin Toh. 
Do not miss this opportunity!...

it happened one
dawn not even
on the end of
the Mayan
calander

the sun broke
Nature's Y2K
all clocks
stopped
ticking

butterflies became moths
flowers smelled foul
rock became 
liquid so
i threw

in the towel
and caught
a tidal wave
that took
me out

to the bluest sea
i'd ever seen as
night and day
embraced
as the sky

became grey and stayed
that way for the
amazingly
long time
of

eternity...

The Egyptian Cubit

is said to be 

52.36 ... cenTIMEter

but as you can see...

I multiplied

to find the Mayan...

52 x 36 = 1872

I asked about frogs

and bacab and the lion...

"... an arrangement made ..."

and it said, "...this way..."

The Structure is Fine

and the lines all rhyme


... So I wrote it again...

J E S U S 

10 + 5 + 19 + 21 + 19 = 74

and then dear god...

I could see your name....

In Chichen Itza, Mexico
stands a Myan pyramid-
built for snake god,
Kukulkan, their feathered deity.

Wonder Of The World-
with mystery, this temple
echoes spirit bird callings-
strange sounds, enigma bound.

Visitors clap their hands-
hear the responsive chirps
of the Quetzal bird
representing the Mayan soul.

This spirit, trilling from
the Pyramid of Kukulkan,
answers in revered sounds-
through their sacred bird.

My list is insanely insane right now.
I started it a few minutes ago.
It took off as if it had a life of its own.
A bucket list of sorts.
Except for one thing.
I never intend to kick the bucket.
I intend to go out screaming and kicking though.

Bungee jumping
White water rafting
Visiting the Mayan Ruins
Traveling to Egypt without running into any enemies
Growing new teeth
Forgiving myself for all of my faults
Writing a list poem.  Check.

One check.
So far, pretty good....
