Only a few
make a pact
with the wind

Only a few
know the joy
there within

Free of the shadow
that follows
and stalks

Escaping
tomorrow
in moments recaught

Horizons lie waiting
as pilgrims
embark

Voices like magnets
pull light
from the dark

Only a few
hear the music
on high

Through handlebar
portals
— embraced by the sky

Last time when the dust turned blue
a new kind of rain erupted
like pellets bouncing off the ground
realizations poured over our heads
last time I laid flat on a road
and challenged the force of decisional wind
protesting the passage of time
swallowing images of mountain range
from the highest point in the city
last time I felt so dearly in love
with the color of the sky
with the way things go,
with the touch of new life
last time I got to know my own breathing
was when, just like this,
in seasonal change, fragments of old self
came to accompany on a journey
through a new day
My shy lover,
with her pretentious persona,
She feels but can’t express.
Marshmallow like underneath her hard shell

A free bird but her thoughts enslave,
She hurts but never retaliates
Anxious yet patience

Easy to love, harder to decipher
Not easily to in love but makes loving easy
From a total stranger
to the most familiar
Antarah will be jealous of my love for her…

My heart beats just for you and
Lord Jesus Christ knows its true and

Your gentle smile a warm and sunny ray
Brightens my world in every single way

And I'm thinking about you today
And I'm smiling away and

Like stars above that shimmer in the night
Your presence fills my world with pure delight and

A melody so sweet your voice I hear
Whispering love banishing all my fears

And my soul finds solace in your sway
I think about you every day and

In your warm embrace
I find my safe domain
Where joy and peace eternally remain

And with every breath
I take my love for you takes flight
Two little doves kissing
In the morning sunlight and

Your eyes a window to a loving soul
Making me complete making me whole

And the Lord Jesus Christ knows
I'm thinking about you

And my feelings are so true and
My endless love for you will stay pure

Like summer breeze your tender touch I crave of I'm thinking about you and
A love so deep beyond the silent grave

My darling love my everything my friend
Our beautiful journey hand in hand will never end.
True Love ❤️ 😍 💖
I'll miss the softness
While I settle back into rage
Ill return to stand-offish,
At least you're free from my cage
My mind is a prison,
Fit for no one but me,
I thought you could live in,
But here you go,
Take the key
I feel alone
in my own shell:
playing pretend,
with my smile laid out on a shelf.
I’ll study grinns until they fit my heart.
And they cover it with blinding light.
Because the darkness
became a treasure I shall only see.
I let no one grasp it,
no one touches my true self.
No wonder I feel alone
when I don’t let anyone see myself.
When I awaken
When I hear the weave
Of Egyptian cotton
Rise and fall
                       Around your torso
When you wrap yourself
                       As an Ibis
                       Offer yourself
                       Become eternal
Whilst we worship each other
                       As Pharaohs
             The sun will continue to burn

I rhyme to pass time;
for no particular reason,
just my own personal pleasing.
