come won't you stay awhile
come won't you brush denial
off of my lids

come won't you stay awhile
come so I brush denial
off of your lips

come won't you stay,
your hands in mine,
come won't you rest your palms
so we can peel
impossibility
and build the bridge within
and heartstrings hold the roads
and hands interlocked will close
the distance
in handfuls of deliverance

I stopped time
on the brink of your lips

{and mine kissed eternity)

Dear Tristan,

          They see good in you,
          But you know it's not there

8 poems a day.

That's a lot. Now 9 poems.

Wait- that's a haiku!

Though it is good
To bring to the limelight
Women brilliant,
In different walks of life
Who fought their way
To inaccessible height,
We must not forget
Starving-and-
drudgery-saddled mothers
Who their children
To school send
With full stomach
Too deserve
A tap on the back!
This must be also
Included in our talk
Specially when March 8
We mark!

Your smile has taken away my heart
Now remains like a light ray my heart
You have just injured and bruised me
But still love only love say my heart
Your beauty sparkles in sheer darkness
My love glistens like a pray of my heart
My rivals try to make me just astray
Play ***** tricks to them anyway my heart
I know that you are young and sweet
But with your beauty don't slay my heart
Please take my life I just don't mind
But please do not ever betray my heart
Be a painter and paint aspects of life
With red blood color portray my heart
Be brave Mehr take your beloved along
In front of all praise everyday my heart

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
    in the heavens.
   Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
    to silence the foe and the avenger.
   When I consider your heavens,
    the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
    which you have set in place,
    what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?
    You have made them a little lower than the angels
    and crowned them with glory and honor.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
    you put everything under their feet:
    all flocks and herds,
    and the animals of the wild,
    the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,
    all that swim the paths of the seas.
Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
