With You In San Cristobal

With You In San Cristobal 


*** 


Mexico 

Mayan Pilgrimage

Ruins of Tulum

Yucatan beaches

Waves crashing 

Swimming

Young Alive 

Tan Beautiful

Tasting salt 

Sand in our hair

Blessed 

Setting off to 

San Cristobal 

Chiapas


Central Highlands

Dry season Dusty roads

Old US School Bus

Horns honking 

Repeatedly Breaking down 

Indigenous children 

Getting sick 

In Plastic bags

Mexican Yellow Pine

Flowers, Orchids

Desert Rose 

Blooming 

Hearts


Winding mountain roads

Endless journey Didn't care

To be By your side forever

Chickens squawking 

Toothless Grandmother smiles 

Drivers mirror Saint Christopher 

Dangling Swinging wildly

Protecting us we pray

Thought life over

Let's die together


Arriving San Cristobal 

Awe bliss joy Beauty

Holy Week Judas Burning

Children Throwing fireworks

Running Screaming Teasing 

Playing in time 

Dancing in space 


Walking hours

Your hand in mine

Seductive smiles

You biting your lip

Raining Soaking wet

Ducking into Churches

Crosses Stucco walls

Priest frowning

Smell Roasting 

Coffee Beans Wafting

Libre Cafe Drinking 

Too much expresso

Flying high 

Sitting by

Plaza Gazebo

Watching Colorful

Tzotzil, Tzelta

Indigenous Women 

Gazing at us

Giggling


Wandering Colonial 

Cobblestone streets 

Awakening Laughing 

Your sweet Breath 

Whispering In my ear

Te amaré por siempre!

Seventy steps climbing

Church of Guadalupe 

Far above Looking out 

Mountains of Chiapas

Out of breath resting 

Your brown eyes

Shining warm

Held you closer

In my stomach 

Butterflies 


Descending

Open air markets

Indigenous crafts

Haggling merchants

Hammocks, Blankets 

Neon statues Christ

Buying you Flowers 

Lost in the crowd

Street art Murals 

Life does not get 

Get better


Our Time together 

Hourglass sand Falling

Ticking down

Crying together 

All good things

Come to an end 


Those brief moments 

Memories of you

Lasting Forever 

Dreams of youth 

Live on and on

Inside my heart

Getting older now

Remembering 

You always

In my dreams

Smiling

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
