INTO THE SUNSET

I go away not for wants
But rather the have to(s)
Of life demand it so.


I leave your company
Not knowing how long
But it will be for only a while.


I know of where I go
But I know nothing of the place
Yet you and father time have taught me
I’ll never be out of place no matter the place.


When it rains remember me,
When it shines remember me,
Everyday, please remember me
For I carry you with me in my heart.

FAITH IN A VOICE

A voice,
It is nothing but sound.


A voice,
A photograph in time.


A voice serves no
Purpose till pregnant with belief.


Have faith,
Have faith in your own voice.


Only then will you become
More than just a voice.


Only then will you
Stand out among so many others.


Only then will the world
Sit at your feet and listen to your voice.


Where is your voice?
Find your voice.

PORTRAITS OF PASSION

Rain drops beat
Incessantly on the
Roof of their umbrella
In a fit of jealousy.


Puddles of water
Conspired with mud
In futility as they
Barely noticed the splotches.


The sound of their
Laughter rose up and
Drowned out the clap
Of thunder.


The clouds hurried
Along looking rather
Embarrassed,
The two lovebirds had
Stolen their thunder.

TEARS FOR A DREAM

Laughter hung on the
Walls like paintings.


Smiles straddled
The window panes.


The floor was see-through
Like water from a spring.


The corridors were lit
By sunlight during the day.


At night,
The moon roamed the halls.


As white clouds looked
Upon me from far yet close by.


Sweet air delighted the
Senses with aplomb.


Soft music slid down the walls
On sheepwool wings.


With day and night
Tugging at each other’s lapels.


As birds warbled in the
Shimmering leaves outside.


But then came a gentle tap,
My eyes woke to today.


I held my tears as they cried
For I had been dreaming all along.

UNDRESSED WORDS

Words lie
Yet words speak truth.


Words hurt
Yet words give life.


Words make friends
Yet words alienate.


Words elevate
Yet words condemn.


Words bring love
Yet words are hate.


These ears hear words
Yet they’re deaf to words.


These ears
Pay no heed to words.


These ears,
They seek undressed words.


Naked,
In full glare.


That which seeks
Audience with daylight.


Undressed words,
The height of human interaction.
