truth
where
do you hide
find me
a true bride
of honesty

black is
the root of
the tree
the shore
that rest
by the sea
the beauty
the dwell
inside of me
all of
my branches
all of
my leaves
where
the birds
nest in
the trees
the black earth
that plant
the seed of peace
inside of me
black is
the essesnce
of my being
black is my God
black is
magnificant and triumphant
black is
strength and persistence
black is my gentle breeze

the sea green
eyes  of night
thus
walk upon
the red
cobblestone streets
of my soul

mama said
son don't
you tarry
'bout life none
don't let
your father
carry a gun because
we pay for
the sins of
our fathers
son don't
you tarry none
life be
the best teacher
for everyone

Foolish pride
Now, stand aside
Waves crashing wide
You feel the tide
Go deep beneath
Your dreams, inside
Oceans singing
Oceans crying
There is a quiet place
Where this heart resides
All made of water,
These ocean tides
This water flows
Through my thirsty soul
This time, I know
There is an ocean
That dwells inside
Yet there is
an ocean inside

Words march
To the beat of
The kettle drum

We are told

They bring
Clarity to
Thy soul

These words,
I cherish
More than gold

who plant
these flowers
of the forest
first
the scent of
morning arrives
then
the silent
hand of God
does His
handy work
that
He provides

one by one
the stars
are candles
that light the
cathedral halls
of heaven
the same
starry night
we are
rings of
amber light

the ocean
makes
her template
of the
starry night again
all within
heaven's reach

Jet black ravens
Agents of time
Glide through
Salmon-pink sky
Collide in red
Dust storms
On mars

clear-eyed springs
unfold her wings
trumpet the joyful
sound of
cherry blossom trees
while
sharing her
branches
with
shiny black yellow
and
red breasted
lorries of the spring
oh lord
when
i
hear heaven sing

in
the
deep south
where
southern
hospitality
is
a badge of honor
your hear
the
soft
sudden
pitter patter of
sweet rain
fill up
an
old rusty
empty bucket
on a farm

amber lamps
guide
the
eyes of
the
fluffy
white
cat
through
the
maze of
invisible night

when light
enters the soul
i submit to
the will of God
where
i sharpen
my sword

holding your
thoughts
up to
this light and
letting them
catch on fire

what heart
contains several
cold dark and
empty shelves
without
any groceries
to place
apon them nor
food on the table
while
empty shelves of
the heart
still remain

the
gecko shape  moon
velcroed
herself
upon
a
midnight blue sky

The
Moment
When
The heart
Opens wide
Some
Laughter
For
A while
And
Suddenly
A burst of light

if love brings
her  yellow
sunrise smile
then
love have
a pair of
honeysuckle -
rose colored eyes

Through the will of God
I surrender

I submit to thee
As we pray for the Babylonians

Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven

I am old
crippled and dying of thirst

I will give thee
My last drop of water

I walk by faith

an orchestra
made of
cherry wood flutes
golden lyres
and cosmic
tamborine drums
instruments
played
by the gods
make
a
quite thunderstorm
yes
all that we need

the
angels
wash
their
eggshell white wings
in
holy water
heaven's place

hear
the
fresh buzz of bees
that
swim
the
seas of
button
brown-eyed
sunflowers
among these
well
business as usual

Through the will of God
I surrender

I submit to thee
As we pray for the Babylonians

Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven

I am old
crippled and dying of thirst

I will give thee
My last drop of water

I walk by faith

yes he came
from
the city of Bethlehem
he shed his blood
for me
then
he died upon the cross
for the sins of man and
for the world to witness
for the world to see
about his crucifiction
and unkind death
up on the
Hill of Calvary
and on the third day
Jesus was resurrested thus
he return to sit at the right hand of
the father almighty God
where he shall return again
to redeem
the unrighteous world of
mankind and
be recognized
only by those
who have been
saved and washed
in the blood of Jesus
amen and
thank you
Jesus
for all
you have
done for me

it
journeys
through
time and space
when
yellow bolts of lightning
tickled
the
purple clouds

what bargin
between
life and death
an alliance
that we
accept but
faith is all
that we
have left

the
scars of war
fresh
upon
their
tender faces
when
we
looked
beyond
the
jagged shore
and
all
we can see
are
the
cliffs of Dover
once more

Lord
I
Ain't gonna
Let
Satan
Turn me around
Because
Faith
Keep my feet
Planted
On solid ground

sometimes the cluster of
thin smiles come from
the  
poor children trapped in
the
Ferris Wheel of poverty
where
the
deep sky never blossom
the
road of poverty never ends
we
laugh then we cry
for
the
gentle whispers
return back to us
the
eyes of hope fade dim
while
the
light is all but broken

the
test of time
where
men wait
on long lines
outside the gates of Babylon
volunteers
for
the army of god
donned their fresh helmets
and receive
their
gold-plated armored and iron sword
a trusted horse to ride upon
to do battle against
the forces of evil
where is this place
outside the gates of Babylon

a flock of
pastel-colored
paper mache
starlings
trumpet out loud
when they
burst
through
the
blue-gray
clouds

dear lord
in this
precious light
of hour
release your
power
if we
not ask
anymore
send us
an angel
to our
shores
to stop
the
unkind war
unwanted

the royal blue sky
laughed out
so loud
that she cried
up a storm
rolled the tears
from her
deep blue eyes

there
is a
quiet place
i know
where
the
holy spirit
comes and goes
find an open window
where
my
spirit flows
a breakthrough
where
my spirit goes

the tentacles of time
shall tighten
around the
destiny of
mankind

a kaleidoscope of
concrete ideas
brings us wisdom
which
possesses
no race
or color
nor
bounds
that
uplift
the
minds
of
our people
shall
bring us
infinite wisdom

Lord your
sweet light
cascade upon
this forest floor and
your spirit blesses
every living creature
that dwell in it but
we ask for your
blessed assurance

what shade of love is this
I ask
the Goddess Aphrodite and
it is her reflection
in the flowing river
near the water’s edge
what shade of love is this

when
the
stars
that
decorate
the
night
perfume
themselves
for
the­
glory of God
oh
how excellent thou art

knowledge
spokes on a wheel
the
realm of sight
not revealed
until it is time
through
mankind

life
breathes
together
in and out
than
we
shall not
live without
i
know
this
is
what we want
because
we
are connected
inside out

the
green-lighted
thoughts
of the
speckled-blue
woodpecker
pecking
his
way
through
the
pinewoods

even
if
one grain of sand
thus
filled
with
holy light
thus
driven      
by
the
spirit of God

what make
the  camelot-soul
ask to see
the red dawn
that
springs through
the eyes of the sun

women of color
the color of
unbroken love
your coco butter skin
beams from
the moonlight above
a constant beauty
that radiate your love
the color of my queen
sit down by my side
you glow with a pride
together again
as we walk down the Nile
side by side
the color of a woman inside
rise from the ashes again
be the
women of color within
and
all eyes upon you

red bell peppers
next
to the
yellow bell peppers
bur
we ran out of
those
fresh green bell peppers
just picked
by our hand

when
i
look
out into
the
starry mirror night
i
see the
baritone blue eyes of
the
Lord's light

titanic
ghost white clouds
rolled in
from
the
northwest of
Galveston
just
before
the
cloud burst storm
brought us
the
scent of rain
