The values of our relationships
and the commitment to our virtues
inspire and open our eyes.

When I asked you what your name was
You replied and said, “It’s Love”
Then I asked you what your song is
You then sang the song of a dove
Please chirp to me your fancy
Make me rock to your lullaby
Flap with wings that dance free
So we can sing that Love does fly.

Tip toeing around the sun
Silence so peaceful
Graceful sails into summer

Golden trees with sun-kissed leaves
Wings of midnight cotton
Floating high in cedar hills
Are dreams inside a coffin

****** rose with sappy petals
Warrior wings with fewer scales
Coasting into deeper woodland
Are the graves of the lost and frail

My pen wrote of loss
And with an evasive tongue, it spoke
My quivering lips succumbed to terror
And so on the truth, I choked

Azure sea reflected me
Singing wading tunes
As I dipped the toe of fear
My fear hid in the dunes

Golden rays throw blinding flames
As the setting sun burst color
Broken shells still pierce my heart
As it yearns to rid this dolor

My pen wrote of drowning
And with an evasive tongue, it spoke
My quivering lips succumbed to terror
And so on the truth, I choked

My pen then wrote the face of cowardice
And with a change of tongue, I spoke
My lips would brave the words of reason
And the birds would fly in happy notes.

Couldn't serve
Baby's inarticulate desires
Desperate wet nurse

"Let there be light," and there was light.
But, I've been grappling with darkness
Since my birth, my Lord!

Deep within I think a darkness,
Something to destroy everything,
Then comes a shinning,
That fills up the nothingness.

We aren’t together
My mind knows that.
But my heart
Doesn’t want to accept it.
