THE FALL

On a sojourn, like one on a missionary journey
and surely must return,
in a time as long as an in-taken breath.

More reasons to stay, than there is to go
Yet, to go, Thou must
But! Only so thou can once again return
to the place where you’d rather be
on any given day.

The euphoric ecstasy
that reigns only around you
like the rain, drenching me
Feelings like the sugar plum, dipped in honey.

Helplessly falling at the speed of light, yet dropping
Unable to stop myself, not wanting to stop myself
from this distorted, contorted mortal indulgence

Like a day-mare, flashing steadily before my own very eyes
Watching myself in a melodramatic opera
Acting out a part that seems strangely a “de ja vu”
yet unfamiliar
Fight it I could, yet, unwilling though I should.
‘Could this really be me?’ was all I could manage.
I fell! yes, I fell… I fell hopelessly in love.

My Word

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
long as blood stays red,
my words and thoughts are true.

Rubbies are red,
sapphires are blue,
as diamonds are forever,
so are my words to you.

LOVE

Stern as death is love,
Relentless as the nether world is passion.
Its flames are a blazing fire;
Deep waters cannot quench love,
Nor floods sweep it away.
-Canticle of Solomon

Good people, ponder on these words as you celebrate this years valentines day.

A Unique Personality

Icy eyes, temperate smiles
Fiery flash, comes through this sight
Easily, foolishly
you could be misled
Yet simple and straight
as a measuring tape

Arms and hips, swings and sways
How soft and sweet, the melody it makes
The symphony comming
with every step,
soothing and calming
as winter's breath

Watching you do
the things you do
is like listening to
the cherubs sing
Blessed is he
who truly sees
the myriads of jewels
concealed in thee
