Poetry: The jungle

A midnight mist does rise
Against the starry skies
But all is unseen
Under jungle canopy
And silent are my cries

Another night does fall
And gives life to things that crawl
Beneath my feet
And then retreat
Nothing I can do at all

A maze gets rearranged
Everything seems changed
I could run and run
But until there's sun
I need to be restrained

A forest in disguise
A million places to hide
If I were small
Or ten feet tall
But nothing in my size

The feeling of being chased
Leaves a bitter
A jungle that has no sympathy
For those without eympathy
Until dawn's saving grace

    My office is a jungle,
    Can't see wood for trees,
    All the things I need to do,
    Tasks not set to please.
    All the papers

    Slippery snakes, spiders crawling
    monkeys swinging, cockatoos calling
    elephants roaming, cheetahs prowling
    pumas creeping, lions

    by Alvaro Ramos

    The day my little boy was killed,
    when his precious,
    youthful blood was spilled,
    lost, I retreated into the jungle.

    I heard
