THE SCRIBBLER


This is a personal collection of poems, short stories and essays that I have written. They are about life......people.....love...... I will post my poems and other short stories from day to day, whenever my muse pays me a visit. Sometimes the work will be in English, and sometimes it will be in Spanish. My muse is also bilingual.

Esta es una colección personal de poemas, cuentos cortos y ensayos que he escrito. Hablan de la vida.......la gente......el amor...... Colocaré mis cuentos y poemas de día a día, cuando mi musa decida visitarme. Agunas veces el trabajo será en inglés, y algunas veces en español. Mi musa también es bilingue.

IN CHARGE

"I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

from the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley.


Not the impetuous wind
Nor the stubborn demon
Will prevent my being
From winning this race.

I was born to win.
Like a myth, I am daemon;
Like an equus geeing
To his righteous place.

So here I bring the grin
To show that like a freeman
I embrace the foreseeing
Of days with no wry face.
