You are my glass
of vintage wine
and your sweetness
quenches my thirst


You are my sustenance
the daily bread that
feeds my heart, mind,
and soul


You are my illumination
radiant and burning bright,
the enlightenment
that attracts me

No more can be said
now and forever
You are my sweetness,
my light, my daily bread

You are my glass
of vintage wine
and your sweetness
quenches my thirst


You are my sustenance
the daily bread that
feeds my heart, mind,
and soul


You are my illumination
radiant and burning bright,
the enlightenment
that attracts me

No more can be said
now and forever
You are my sweetness,
my light, my daily bread

say thy name
restless eyes
shed your tears
then say no more
thy will be done
this holy place
this mighty blade
shall pierce this earth
this golden shield
reflect this light
the hands of God
shall guide this steel
this God is real
as we walk in faith
oh breathless sun
say no more
victory has
found her wings
oh breathless sun
to heal again

shaolin monk
entering
the
dragon
temple of faith
delicately
walking
upon
the
sacred
rice paper floor
and
seeking wisdom
only
through
faith

The breath of priests
Their voices thin
Whose fruit are we
We pray within
Finding broken roads
Where dreams explode
Priests are cloaked
Behind their robes
Lord, these priests are men
Let the whole world say, amen

Kiss you like a flower
Hold you like the world
Love you like no tomorrow
If you were my Queen of the Nile
Rich brown caramel skin
Hair glows like fire in the wind
You and I shall rule the world
Lord, send thee a Cleopatra woman

a pair of
rainbow
Lorikeet birds
Spin free
as a Ferris wheel
Upon
the highest branch
In the garden of
a thousand eyes  
from
their favorite olive green
Pistachio tree
Sun-bake hands
Shall
pray for thee
Upon
the highest branch

Mirror in,
The sky
Wipe those
Tears from
Your blue eyes,
With your
Red scarf
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Amem

let
the
conerstone
be
one
grain of sand
for
building
your
sandcastle
in
the sun

clapping their wing
with
effortless grace
the
seamless flight
of
the
black butterfly
spiraling
through
the
baritone blue sky
let
us
walk by fath
and
not by sight

What is the
Slave masters’
Goal

Separate a man
From his soul

Takes away his
Language and culture
To gain control

startlings
are
turning
swirling
and
spinning
above
the
wild plains
of
the
soft
blue
Serengeti sky

Silent leaf
Lying here
upon this ground
Mimicking death
You make no sound

Be this heaven,
So divine
Untouched, unblemished
The air unwinds
The voice of
Your deep blue eyes
Still moves me
This time,
Say that
You love me, and
So, shall I

what
bird of faith
flew
overhead
yet
still
above
the
quiet storm

black widow spiders
with
orange hourglass
tattooed upon their abdomen
while
spinning their webs
like an open fire hydrant
snipped crackled
and popped
and
inched
themselves
like caterpillars
breaking from their cocoons
across
the
apple cider wooden floor

lord
we
airbrushed
the
sacred sky
while
harvest hands
paint the
face of
the moon

I was the first to cry
when daddy died
lying there so peacefully
in his golden casket
yet, I give him so much grief
being the youngest boy
in the family
always competing with my older
brothers for Daddy's affection
oh, what laddy I was back then
mischief knows me well
as long as I live,
on the face of this earth,
your son will earn his due, first
yet, prove his worth

each
word
a
dagger
that
cuts
through
the
flesh
unto
the
bone
all
through
the
haunted
ghost-mirrored soul

old
Shoalin Buddhist
temple monk
my
favorite teacher
if
we
learn how
to
walk silently
upon
the
rice paper
to
complete
the
hidden
journey

the
walls
have hears
in
the
house of glass
yet
filled
with
stones
to
make
it
crash

the
quick
winds
gather in
and
the
wild scent
of
the
ash pink rose
jettison
towards
the
kingdom of heaven
again

the
lighthouse
beamed
it's
powerful light
across
the
dark wine sea
that
captured me
ask
the
ships
that
sail across
the
cliffs of wales
return
to thee
while
the
lighthouse
comfort me

as
the
earth
revolves
around
the sun
the
moon moth
claps
her
translucient wings
thus
letting
her
turn
dust into gold

oh
what joy
resting
inside
only
through
the
eyes of
the
ruby-throated hummingbird
while
hovering
beside
a delicious
ash pink rose
reading
between
the
lines of
the
natural world

crying
is
the
sweet blue rain
that
cleanse the heart
from
the
spirit of God
while
the
rain flows through the heart

with
the
hourglass
shape
of
the
heart
time
is
a curious
thing
from
the
start
when
you
know
the
shape
of
your heart

Blue rose
Let love
Trickle down
Through your
Thirsty heart

behind this gun
a bruised and
shattered soul
when i am told
this is
my son
always on
the run

angels
are
the
architects
that
dangle
the
soft white clouds
like
marionettes
that
dangle
their
puppets upon a string
while
whispering still
through
the
heavenly clouds

Before marching
To our graves
Time leaving
Her mark
On all of us
Waiting for
Your soul to
Be saved

just
before
the
wicked storm breaks
while
young birds
clinging
with
all their might
to
the
strong stiff branches
of
the
sycamore tree
yes
we
are
the
stiff branches
that
bend and sway
but
we do not break
and
here
to
shelter thee

as long as
the
stars are shining
the
lord is
my daily bread
thus
ask
the lord
for
the
shepherd's light
to
walk by faith
and
not by sight
as long
as the spirit
moves me
as long as the
stars are shining
still
towards
the
Shephard's light

with
all of its might
truth bends
the
light
that
breaks
through
the
winding roads
of
the soul
at night
truth
bends the light

once upon a time
Muhammad Ali said,
i
am not afraid of
any man
nor
afraid of anything
in
this  
whole wide world
i am
only afraid of
the
power of
almighty god
until
i
step inside
the
boxing ring
i
have
no fear nor doubt
in my heart and soul
thus
i
shall not
fear any man
only the power of God
before each fight
Ali would go to
his ring corner and pray
at the sound of the bell
Ali starts to stick and move
while
he
floats like a butterfly
and
stings like a bee
when
Ali
steps inside the ring
Ali is the greatest
to me

In this pouring rain
They take away our names
We march into these trains
Who are we to blame
To live in concentration camps
The light who shines is dim
We wear these cloths of death

the casualties of  war
it shocks me
to the core
the
barbed wire fences
at your door
then
we ask
for peace
once more

The edge of
Your smile,
As free as
A bird
Now, we
Can fly

One by one,
They push
This dagger
Through their souls

Montague and Capulet
Star-crossed lovers

So deeply in love
We cross the stars

Claim that
Love is just
A test

We married
In secret

When we
Look deep into
The tender eyes of love
Reflections turn this hollow soul
Images quarrel with our hearts
Knowing this love shall pass me by

the
walls
shall lean in
to
listen
when
truth
speaks again
and
the
light
shall
cleanse
the
heart and soul

love
by
far
only
exist
between
the
heavens
and
the
stars
the
love­
by
far
when
your
love exist

spiritual eyes
shall
open wide
what
is
more possible
to behold
when
your
tainted eyes are closed

Let me be
This phantom
Of the night
Deliver this
Pale moon
Behind the fragile trees
Seek warmth
In this river of light
Adorn this shallow sea
That follows thee
To the arms of night
Steady victory
Secures these stars,
In-flight
Sings out of key
Bring
every ounce of breath,
From your lungs
When you
Speak of me

Let our hearts know
what our hands shall do
and I know for sure
to embrace you more  
yet to touch your tender soul
Forevermore and nothing less
Oh, what young lovers
must do as I confess
thus to seal our faith
with serendipity and grace
enchanted with
red blue and green light
with a bit of indigo
in between them
so much so
thus to find
a quiet place to
for our love to flourish so
that we embrace
this sacred moment more
with a gentle kiss
upon your sweet lips
and surely to know
anywhere the heart must go

on
a cold winter's night
the
alpha wolf moon
howls
with
all her might
for
the
wolf pack
to
gather in tight
towards
the
light
for
the
wild bison hunt

thy
heart
like
the
sacred butterfly
is
transformed
through
the
light of God
yes
he
will provide
yes
he w

love
you shall not
erase me
nor
shall you
replace me
than
our
love is
inseparable
only
because
your
love
embrace me
