fall into him
while I fall into You
a romcom encounter
in the absence of pews

ambient roses
martyrdom's smile
mariposas aflutter
to stay for a while

you'll find me in ellipses...

in brightly threaded trails of breadcrumbs
meandering in fields of honeysuckle dew
in unspoken stanzas and lilting prayers
in abated passions under bated breath
in unabashed hollers and whispered streams
in the whitespace where my hopes reside

you'll find me wanting, wonting...
waiting for Him.

on a tightrope of blessings
hands clasped in prayer
a twinkle of mischief
entrapped in a stare

no ocean in sight
yet adrift in your eyes
a score swells of Love
zeroing in from the sky

crossing over umbrage
on a bridge towards heaven
shading our eyes through fields of grey

through dappled eyelashes
look for promised remembrance

clamor to put away clamor
day by day

two from a chrysalis emerge as one
a monarch born to glorify The Son

a crowning of glory,
a martyrdom beaming
ahead lies the kingdom
awakened from dreaming

echoes and ripples a stone's throw away
on a body of water, corporeal form
atop spiritual warfare, ethereal disturbance
assured by a shoreline longing for warmth

guanábanas y piñas
le digo a las frutas: te amo

newly illumined, agua de vida
estoy aprendiendo como me llamo

an umbrage de gloria
blankets el cielo

en Dios, yo encuantro
felicidad bellows

un poquito de mantequilla
para la salud tu alma

las coquis y mariposas
ellos vivas mas calmas

bare my teeth
lay bare my soul
before it's too late

a penitent paper tiger
praying not to immolate

deified detritus
shed my snake skin sin

the apple of His eyes
transfigured from within

plaintive passion
nimble nimbus
reign on us from high

cast me down
and raise my gaze
with reverence I cry

bibelot of Babylon
put to death or dearth

precious precocial Person
born on the world to unearth
