Like David, I Dance Undignified For You GodI will dance before You, O Lord,
Not with the steps of men,
But with the fire of the Spirit burning in my bones.
I will move without rhythm,
I will leap without pattern,
For my praise is not for show
It is for You alone, my God and King.
I will dance as one set free,
As one who remembers the pit...

Charcoal faceTo win her whole heart was my sole goal,
In summer, I tanned just for her soul.
I sunbathed at Lagos Beach,
A Black there to woo a peach,
My face is now blacker than charcoal....

Untitled 5My love, it looks like summer days with a bit of shade.
Singing birds dancing upon your grace
Rainbows are crying at the beauty that you paint
An everyday Christmas when you're awake
You are a gift to me
Cherishing how your hand sparkles
Feet smoother than any babies
Sweet Carmel skin
My love looks like winter but is always...

Class ReunionSix besties had agreed
at graduation,
pinky swore,
to meet ten years later
no matter where they'd be,
come what may.
And here they were finally:
Gayle, Suzie, Diane, Donna, Lucy, Michelle,
together at last from across the country.
They had kept in touch through facebook
as much as their busy schedules allowed.
All had gone off to university or college.
Some had since married, some had...

Beautiful EyesIn the hush of dawn when the world is still,
Your eyes awaken the sky with a thrill.
Like twin galaxies lost in a lover's gaze,
They hold the stars in a smoky haze.
Not just mirrors, but portals to soul,
Where silence whispers and dreams unroll.
They speak the words your lips leave behind,
In languages only the heart can find.
In...

Anger a Killer of SoulsTrue, a taste of tomorrow is bitter sweet
in minds eye, or even in sleep
but is it truth, or is it lie
only you 'll know, when you search for the why
But know this, when love, it is found
there are no reasons left, the truth profound
its a peace, a calm, a beauty absorbed
its the inner voice...

Churro
I told myself just one—
two, max.
But you were hot, sugar-laced,
pressed into shape
some ancient, grooved machinery
I’ve never been strong enough to resist.
I knew better.
Knew how this ends:
oily regret
bubbling just beneath the pleasure.
Still, I bit down
until I was dizzy
with want
and half-cracked sweetness.
Now I’m sick
on everything I swallowed
pretending it was worth it.
And still—I’d do it again
if you were...

Amore the the real kindIn every heart mending moment
I stand and speak you as mine
A one of a kind redeeming love
No shame in my game
The answer is still the same
Glad I gotcha to change your name
I loved our wedding
Unguided until you told me
There was something I needed to see
The start of our pregnancy defined you
Then what's ah man to...

Pearl
Matthew 13:46 “Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”
secreted, within
in my innermost life
where the best stories start
is a lifetime – of memories and grace,
joys that will never replace
the music that settles here,
reassuring and soothing
inspiring me to believe in the beautiful
sound of hope...

If You Go Away
If you go away, and my heart breaks
Weeping, for the moments
We spent in the light of the morning
Whispering our dreams, our hearts – memories
Weeping, for the days – we colored with praise,
The nights – we taught the stars to sigh,
The joys, the smiles, the stirrings of insight
The warmth and the healing, the beautiful feelings.
If you...

Friendship AppreciationFriendship doesn't always mean having contact daily
But yet it's like the calcium in your dairy
It strengthens the core of your body
It is there to prevent you from braking
Hearing your voice
makes my heart rejoice
I'm counting my blessings at that moment
The smile I do get to see once in a blue moon
Can reflect a message like...

Soulful friendshipA friendship is a bond...
A deeper connection of two souls...
A person who is always there to answer a call
Support, listen and advice
A shoulder to cry on...
There to lean on...
A friendship means continuous unconditional love, support, laughter and memories...
Most of all... accept you just as you are.
A journey not to walk alone....

The Burrowa hush beneath the hum of the world,
carved by paw or claw or time’s quiet insistence.
A hollow stitched in earth’s dark under breath,
where roots dangle like forgotten chandeliers
and the soil holds its secrets close.
It is a cradle of stillness,
a sanctuary shaped from necessity —
warmth scraped from cold,
shelter borrowed...

The InvitationImagine this
An empty chair
And opposite
Another there
You choose to sit
You have a choice
No movement. No whisper.
Just silent voice
You wait a while
You close your eyes
To calm the spinning..
Break bonds. Break ties
Pretty soon
You're feeling seen
Such clarity
Not like a dream
Sat in the dark
Creative light
Invades your soul
Joyful and bright
The shadows
Are no longer there
No doubt or shame
Just love and care
Everything...
