In front of me…
Such a beautiful sight…
With a beautiful shine…
That binds my eyes…
To follow hers…
As I wonder what words…
And what verbs…
Could help us converge…
And converse…
At this place…

With just us two…
My hopes let loose…
Praying she notices me…
A potential partner to be…
As I try to see…
Her eyes…
Brown like this earth…
Mixed with sun and water…
To give birth to all the colors…
In this rainbow of humanity…

She sees…
And I smile back…
She smiles too…
And we proceed to chat…
On this beautiful sunlit day…
Beautiful in brown…
Love in the making…

You…
You are a good person…
You are not defined by others…
Yes I know you seek love…
And acceptance…
And friendship…
And feel so alone…
Just know as you walk this road…
Wondering when to stop…
And lose all hope…
No light…
Only shadow…
Cast by the beings…
Who choose to ignore…
This good person…
Who remains unknown….

There must be more…
There must be more…
And you are more…
It’s doesn’t matter if they don’t know…
Or care…
It has no bearing on your soul…
You are a good person…
And that is what you must know…

The spirits speak…
Treat me to stories…
Of all the deeds…
Past…
Present…
Indeed…

Blessed to see…
Two fiery elements…(Hydrogen/Oxygen)
Cling to pieces of earthen substance…
Combine to give way to sustenance…

Blessed to hear…
The million different sounds…
Sing in unison…
As they make their way…
These blessed rains…
That reflect back upon impact…
Little drops of faith…

Blessed to feel…
Beneath the outstretched limbs…
Of trees that breathe on behalf of us…
Their leaves in green…
Protect me…

Blessed to taste…
Hands raised in qunoot…
To sip the sustenance…
Take care to not exceed…
As the roots beneath…
Need much like me…

Blessed with scents…
That float in the breeze…
Call forth the bees…
And birds that feed…
Sow seeds as they traverse the landscape…

In this life…
As the rains fade away…
Prostrate to my Lord…
And count my blessings…
In this world of majesty…
Master of my destiny…

You are you…

I understand that need…
Wanting to belong…
Or wanting to be loved..

Or just wanting peace…
In this society…
But shunned by all..
And afraid to go out…
Masked by grey clouds…
Rain starts…
And the heart…
Barely pumps at all…
Just enough to make it to tomorrow…
Another day filled with sorrow…

We carry those hidden burdens…
Behind so many smiles…
So many trials…
But just as the heart beats…
Ever so faintly…
You must keep believing…
It fights and fights…
As should you…

One day…
One day…
You will see…
You are all that you need…
I swear it…
Please believe me…
You are worth it…

Never thought it could be…
When you arrived…
What a sight…

Tried to lower my gaze…
And look away…
Hide my smile…
My own style…
While emotions pile…

Build to this moment…
But I couldn’t…
Instead you did…

And so began this chapter…
As our stories had long been underway…
Flip back and forth the pages…
To witness it all again…
With a new lens…
And love in hand…

Hand in hand…
Watch this sunset…
Fading red…

Love & Faith…
Beams from beads of seeds…
Birth beneath erupts rosaries…
Each speak of beliefs in Beings…
Paths rooted in need…
A reason to be…
Foreseen through many means…
As faith has but one tree…
From which all beliefs be…

Those divine lights…
That range from deep shines…
To deep signs…
That help us dream…
Words like Alif Lam Meem…

Undefined at first sight…
Yet they still guide…
And draw our hearts…
Towards those parts…
Blessed particles of life…

That vibrate in varied ways….
States of faith…
That may explain…
Why we write in these ways…
And illustrate across this canvas…
Page by page…
In awe of what we’ve created…

Seeds sown in hopes of slow sustained growth produce the best tasting fruit…

In Need

In need of…

I need happiness…
I need happiness…

I need a reason…
I need a reason…

This chapter of life…
So full of strife…
All wrapped up tight…
With no hope in sight…

Only a distant past…
Melded with stories that clasp…
Their memories…
But alas I was not present…
Only observing…

Yet yearning for their happiness…
Their smiles so bright…
While mines hides…
Behind my own smile…

My own making…
My own statements…
Sing with me…
I need happiness…

How do you justify taking a life?

On trial…
Where we commodify her right to be and she…
Indeed no one cares when that zygote sans sperm expels…
Oh do tell her how you care…
As you watch her bear the costs for being she…

The smiles…
Look into me…
Lovely life to live…
With one or by myself…
I see all that spells…
My life…
One…

The smiles…
Too good at that…
While watching time pass…
Kids grow past those old flirts…
Words now mean so much more…
Pour over what’s a crush…
While wondering what’s love…
All paths lead to one…

The smiles…
The congratulations…
Affirmation of love…
Pieced over time…
Parts aren’t so clear…
For I haven’t been as near…
But still proud to see all so happy…

The smiles…
They smile back…
Who doesn’t want to share their joy…
While I fade into dark corridors…
Travel back and forward…
Wondering how time…
And chance chose to pass me by…
And how life is now lived…

The smiles…
My one link to them all…
The nod…
Good luck to my friends…
I’ll be around…
