In the shadows, he lurks, an evil genius so sly
With a twisted mind and a piercing eye
He weaves his webs of deceit and lies
Manipulating all those who cross his path with the guise
His intellect is unmatched, and his strategy so sound
A master of the game, he holds all the power around
With a flick of his wrist, he can make or break a life
A true force to be reckoned with, in his world of strife
But his thirst for control and domination never ends
A constant hunger that only darkness befriends
In the end, his own undoing will come to light
For even the strongest of evil geniuses will face their plight,

Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:

"LIFE MEANING IS A MANY SPLENDERED THING"
This was inspired through my living so many decades of life intensely and creatively! This is dedicated to all young human beings to learn the difference between being addicted to love and real love, of true compassion and friendship that must go hand in hand with companionship.’
