With all this
love alive in me,
this love that
blossom and
bubbling within
my heart.
Is it really
what it is,
is it really love.
How can I
feel all this
and not met
or seen anyone
as crazy as me
to share it with,
or isn't someone
out here also
looking and wondering.
Is love dead
or just elusive.
Why is it
so painful.
Is it me
that's the fool
or am i
from a different
sphere and planet.
How can you
not find it
or feel it
in your soul.
Am I really
walking in the dark.
I cry in the
rain and the
darkness so you
must not see me.
The dark consume me
for I am so lost.
Is this love
thing real or
am i living an illusion.
Who can ever
save this lost
soul from the
wilderness.
Right now i
really need proof
for my heart hurts.
Come and save
this soul from
this illusion.
It *****.

I hate to
watch you
irrationally misbehave
like you are
just doing right now.
Just keep wondering
how you will
end up if
you continue
like this,
you can't stand
all alone.
I keep wondering
how strong you
can withstand
against the odds
and pressures
all around you
without breaking down.
I love you
so very much
and it breaks
my heart to
see what you
are doing right
now to yourself.
I still care about
you despite
your hates and
unfounded fears.
You said I'm
clueless and you
don't want to
inherit my ignorance,
I sat down
right here thinking
just the same
thing about you.
You can't never
imagine ever
what is about
to befall you.
You really have
no idea what
you are
contending with.
I worry about
your stubbornness
to change.
I still worry
about you because,
when the eyes cry,
the nose runs.
My attitude will
always be based
on how you
treat me.
Wake up now
while others
are still in bed
to redeem yourself.

The things i
do for you
i did for love.
Love is only
blind for the
one who did
not see your
inner radiance.
They didn't see
your worth because
of how dark
their hearts are.
They are truly
blind for real,
even though
you sparkle and
glitter like the
stars in the sky.
No darkness can
hide your irradiance,
for you shine
so bright like
that of the
solar radiancy.
The purity and
beauty of your
heart is so glaring
and comforting.
First time i
felt loved was
because of
your presence.
I wish i
was blind
for just a
moment so
I'll never see
rottenness but
your radiant beauty.
I will surprise
myself for the
things I'll do
just for love.

She asked me to wait for her in the rain while she calmly leaned under the shadows of a pear tree kissing another.

You are not
a butterfly but
it seems you
move like one.
The way you
flutter about tells
stories about you.
Don't you ever
keep still for
a moment.
Joyfully you
roam all around
looking for where
to perch.
Even in your
rest you still move.
Your heart rovers
about thinking of
what to do and
where next to be.
But you love
the flowers
that blooms and
blossom in the open.
You love nectar
from each different
kinds of flowers
in the orchard.
Your life is
full of energy
pulsating with subtle
expression of beauty.
I can see how
colourful your
world has become.
Beauty is
wrought in you.
Gentle and fragile
but elegant and lovely.
Minding your business,
you are very dutiful
and like the butterfly,
that pollinates the
flowers with a touch,
you transform every
life in your sphere.
There's no idle
moment in you.
You understand that
each moment has
a purpose in creation.

The day I
saw you I just
knew there was
something so
good and special
about you.
It was a
cold beautiful
Friday morning.
You snuggled
on a couch
beside a fireplace
reading an African
poetry book.
Unaware of my
presence.
Unruffled by the
noise in the room.
It was dark and
drizzling with
thunderstorm
shattering the sky.
Only a flicker
and glow from
outside flashing
into our space.
Our host puts
on a symphony
orchestra by Mozart.
Who would have
thought that our
hearts and lives
would have merged
and blended together
by a piece of music
for a lifetime walk.
That beautiful music,
like a spell,
mysteriously and
unwittingly caused
magic to happen
that night.
There was a
thunderbolt and
our eyes met
as if there was
an internal pull
our hearts interlocked.
It was such a beautiful
unforgettable moment.

Loving the living
and the unlovable
is really so hard.
Fulfill the law,
what law
you may ask.
The new law.
Law on love,
engraved so deeply
in your heart.
It's so simple.
Swallow your pride,
enter the narrow gate,
save yourselves.
Why would something
so simple be
so hard to do.
And why will
anything meant to
bring joy
be so painful.
Love leads to
life eternal.
If you don't
want to hear
"I never knew you "
then love your
neighbor as yourself
for your neighbor
is an important
extension of you .
If you don't
want to be
the reject, or
feel rejected
by the words,
"depart from me",
"I never knew you",
then do the
right things for
your safety and
love deeply without
asking for anything
in return,
but to just love.
Love is divine.
Love fulfills the law.
Love hides a
multitudes of sin.
Love is acceptable.
Love heals.
Love mends.
Love rebuilds.
With love war
and strive ceases.
Pride is the
absence of
understanding with love.
You'll never enter
the new kingdom
without love.
Never means never,
trust me.
It's just that simple.
The only way
to harmony here
and in
eternity is love.
Just to love.
