Today - out my window pane
I looked out and now I'm bound to play
to bask in the light and call a few friends who might
just make me laugh in sheer delight!

To live in such a place and in my own space
but to share it all cause life worth living
in this rat race!

Universal Truths

Universal Truths
Master your feelings and emotions as truth may tell
Or would you rather remain in the pit of hell?
Don’t get me wrong for loves embrace
But a single love should never be caged.
Single love while pure in form remains small and a fragmented in the world of closed doors.
It only grows but when in day light. Yet when night passes, and trouble is bound
Our sense of love cannot be found.
Such a ruse this lie of heart
It confounds and confuses even the most poetic hearts.
It makes its way, almost as if daily
And circles like a cloud.
It’s so pungent, but its smell can no longer be distinguished
Between the lie’s of hate and what comes between us.
So I say, youth be patient and date to love with the knowledge of weakness.
Having knowledge of who and what
Gives you the speed,
The momentum that swings,
To walk away and succeed,
When you’ve given all players the seats they need.
Stepping stones are often thus,
And trust is always a must.

Experiments

Seven years by the by

Friends and lovers acquaintance shaped

By tainted hands they've escaped.

Education bought and sold

Into slavery they go.

Modern time’s mothers deny what men do to shelter and provide.

But in a world of want, needs come second and never last,

dishonoring men and what cares they have.

But too, give pause to what’s new,

Men also partake in this bloodless feud.

Raising beauty as a prize

On the internet so they rise.

Happy hours, vacations and all things that cheer.

Even in olden times people danced and gave in to the
Pharisees to surmise.

What skills we have lost this love we know..

If wisdom is knowledge applied then what we learn of love,

be it so...

Trust your heart and let go...Then the day will come and end just so.

Time Well Spent

"Time well Spent

While I prayed one night on my knees
I ended with I love you lord, oh yes indeed.
A shiver ran down my spine
“how do you love me it said”.
And I could not reply.

How do you love someone who isnt there?
Not a word or sound is uttered when I’m in despair.
No touch no sight
No bright light.
No warm hugs to soothe me at night
Only walls of solitude where they all once stood.

Then it came to be..
How I loved; and whom? Oh yes by far..
So many loves lost to the stars.
And have I loved all therein?
A creeping death gave way as I searched within.

So many loves have scattered in the breeze…
What do I know of love and how its to be?
I knelt before the light
Took in its Godly might.
In time through toiled hands
Through books and good works by my fellow man.
God came to BE and then HE made me SEE.
Even when a heart is broken ten fold,
Love is a choice, through flaws that end and break.
Its stirs and strikes like the venom of a snake!
Be weary else nothing will ever fall in its place.
Peace at once, at last I know..

Through work I’ve known
Through the books I’m told
Through time well spent..
I’ve come to know the Christ, but least yet,

Oh, how I’ve loved and so I say
I love you Lord, now and forever..
Come what may.

A Woman's Voice

Caressing flickering light dancing between shallow breath
It, in its low pleasing release
Deadens fiery hours spent aging restlessly against the world and its teeth.
For in her words of play
In her words of delay
She always knows what to say.
I would drown in her skin and hear her speak
Oh the things she says that carries me away!
I am stung by her clever words of display
Her tones of I love you’s simple and at bay
It breaks and washes until I can see
How very beautiful her words can be.
