a pallette of Terrible
a palette of terrible
beauty beyond beauty
breathtakingly exotic
stunningly gorgeous
charisma above presence
dreams disguised as eyes
lips that are felonies
killa smile as a weapon
dimples to die for
six foot legs
make a blind man see
swooning and staring
by one and all
breasts so perfect
they make you st st stutter
skin so smoove
fashion so swag
mischievous packaged with charm
devious stacked on a grin
unintentional .... huh?
bully mixed with coy
witty intellect
playful impatience
perfect imperfections
runway model on a mic
slayin them all
one in el lay
argue kiss
fight mua
love sent to the sofa
so much potential
in this Christian sista
these are the colors and hues
in the terrible palette
of a Muslim Goddess

Selamawit
On the fifth day God created beauty
on the sixth day He pulled a rib from beauty
and called her Selamawit
I would have parted any water
just to be with you
As Moses fled Egypt,
I would have made my way to you
I would walk for 40 years
to look upon your face
I would come down the mountain
with poetry about your beauty
that only God's finger
could etch on two tablets
I would have defeated David
God's greatest warrior
to know your loving
I would have left my 1000 wives
to be with only you
I would have asked Elijah
for a double dose of your love
I would have wrote a hundred
more epistles about your beauty
God would have turned back time for
me just to be with you another day
I woud sit in any oven, any whale
to know your touch
I would cut off my own hair
to enjoy your kise... |

Forgiveness
Forgiveness
all's forgiven
love conquers all
just cliches? not if you love
just words? notions? ideas? metaphors?
not if you truly love
if your Love stumbles ....
pull him up
kiss him and dust off his shoes
If your Love falters
wait for her
kiss her and compliment her
Forgiveness should already
be included in your Love
not asked for
It doesn't cost a dime
to forgive
just understanding, empathy
sympathy and gentleness
Humility and patience
it will be given back
deep deep care
high unbending respect
it will be given back
imperfect Love
is better than perfect Love
mistake free Love
is a myth .... a poem .... a unicorn
It is Forgiveness that sets Love free
Not Love that sets forgiveness free
when your Love has his head down low
and begs you for forgiveness<... |
Chaos of Love
Our Chaos of Love
It is not the chaos of control in Love we prefer
It is the control that chaos brings in Love we desire
In Love we dont want control of our emotions
we desire emotional chaos
Not chaos like an angry riot
but the happiness and excitement
of emotional pandemonium
Like when one first sits and eyes
all of the Christmas presents under the tree
We dont know which to open first
and play with first
Like going through the gates of Disneyland
for the first time
and not knowing which ride to go on first
Like opening a two pound box of See's candies
and not knowing which to eat first
It is this instant of bliss that is sought
It is this craziness of raw Chaos
of not knowing which pleasure Love will bring next
When Love is right and righteous
It needs no control
We want to unleash, to release, to free our Loves

Breath
Breath
It is said that one needs air to live
it is Love that I need to breathe
I can not go on with my being
without your Love to survive me
Your sincere and deep Love has kept me alive
not just existing
it has been your loyalty of Love
thru thick and thicker
that has filled my lungs
my very soul has been resuscitated
by your absolute of Love
nothing has kept your Love
from getting to my heart
You are my breath
my necessity of life
what I need for living
when I didn't want to breathe
you did for me
How can I go on
without your Love to breathe?
How do I have a tomorrow
if you were not here yesterday?
You never left me
Even when I left you
Your true Love is my
Substance of Life
You are my new Love
that really is my old Love
You are my breath
my inspiration of diligence... |
Precious LTL
Love
So precious is Life, Time and Love.
So unappreciated is Life, Time and Love.
So many times I have not thanked God for them.
I beg God for forgiveness for my sins.
So many times I have fallen short.
But, God still blesses me
with my Life, Time and Love.
So precious is Life, Time and Love.
I go about my days like I am entitled to all.
I walk around like all will be forever.
They are so different
and yet they are so alike.
So connected.
I have lost my life and thought any love with it.
I have lost loves and I thought my life with it.
I have lost Times without Love in it.
I have lost Times without Life in it.
What is Life without Loves, a love, being loved ?
I want Love so much,
then don't appreciate Time when given.
I ask God for only one Love,
&n... |
An old friend
friend
It was by destined accident that I came about an old relationship of mine, not that long ago. He happened to be right where I was going to bump into him. He asked me if I wouldn't mind sitting down and listening to a nice story of his, so I said "Sure, why not," to my long time acquaintance and I took a comfortable seat in anticipation of his narrative.
He seemed to have two expected spots ready for such an unexpected occasion.
It has been a while of whiles since I have spent time with this good friend of mine and he has always proven to be a loyal and faithful buddy through yesterdays filled with tomorrows. I regrettably have only said a few rushed words to him in what now seems to be histories of histories.
I admit that we used to have a very strong bond once and that our communications since have really only been one-sided empty monologues from me. But, my old trusted friend has asked me to honor him with just one more again ... |
Dominion of Love
Dominion of Love
There was a time before Time
was even called Time
What was then, was and never changed
Then God loved Man
and a new Time was above Time
and a time above
What wasn't before, now had existence
God blessed Man with Dominion
now Time was raw, pure with direction
and directionless
and it was beside itself and before itself
below itself and by itself
In itself changing what was before
Dominion was filling and emptying
at the same time
It ruled existence on both sides of itself
inside and out
this space of Time and this time of Space
was different
The difference in the difference
in Time and Space
was Love
not just Love, but the Dominion of Love
Space had a new time
and Time had a new space
What was .... now wasn't
and never would be again
