Adoration
The sense of peace and silence that you bring as you are present is unlike any other.
My soul wants to not just kneel before you but lay down on the earth you created and worship you for the very breath you have given me.
My soul longs for you, my God.

Can I Be The One
Can I be the one you see in the morning light,
The first one to greet you, and make everything right?
Can I be the first one you see when you close your eyes,
The last thought on your mind, the one that never dies?
Can I be the one to hold you so tight,
To keep you safe, to

Whatever You Want It To Be
Your golden calf
speaks artfully in my ear
marketing its millions of worshipers-
whispers of temptation to be like you-
If all life produces are idolators
from the gold calves they adore,
where are its gardeners
its realtors
its nourishers
its doctors
its listeners
its philosophers
it cleaners
its mothers
its fathers?
These are the pillars of society.
Remember this
and don't feel ashamed of who you

Sand and Starlight
Your hand touches mine,
a tether of warmth shimmering like
starlight.
Days spill into nights, and still,
your embrace cradles me as the dawn
unfurls,
its golden tendrils brushing against our
sanctuary.
Your gaze-drowsy and divine-meets mine,
and like whispers from another realm,
our story unfolds:
bare feet gliding over enchanted sands,
seafoam singing lullabies as the
salt-kisses breeze binds our

Where the Ocean Meets the Mountain
You, Mariana—deepest trench of my knowing
I call you by name not to possess it
but because it is the only prayer
I have ever known how to say
You are the sea—each wave not an argument but a hymn
a hymn without

Voice of Love
I’m sure if I had the ears to hear
The sound of blood rushing in my veins
Would be a roaring voice of love
This great river of life
Pulses to a steady beat
Carrying more than we can ever know
Calling out and pulling in our heart’s desire
That manifests as all we say and do
And everyone and thing

Adoration Called For
For it speaks true, to sensitize
through taste and touch, nose, ears and eyes
By nature, some will genuflect,
a flower's fragrance to respect,
detect unseen need to admire
gifts freely given by the Sire.
Fires up arms to pick within reach
all goodness plants, uncalled for, teach.
Breach dug in doubt - fear engineers
imperfect thoughts, brave minds adhere,

Adoration with wings
Finding myself in tune
With steps in the wind blowing
My dance then to construct
And in love a face a glowing
Nymphs spellbinding in the heart
A maiden with the music they sing
I see those trees - the hues of desire
The God's look in awe dancing with wing
Blue - the beauteous blue skies
The muse with glee and opportunity
Blue skies,

Ode to Pasta
You are the stuff my culinary dreams are made of.
Unending shapes and sizes.
From skinny linguini to the rounded orecchiette
and squiggly fusilli.
As my tongue tastes morsels of your saucy tubular goodness,
I compose a rhyme of the ancient marinara to atone
for my over-the-top pasta love.
Stuffed, plain, buttered. Swimming in Sunday sauce.
The tastiest were those plain whites

Facies Dei
Most radiant host, angelic glory be
Within thy blesséd grace, Portal of Faith.
In simple form You came, yet still through thee
We see theophony, through which God saith,
¨Dear child mine, most valiant flesh now is thine.
Hereby thy peace I grant, through darkest night
With burden light and blood of freshest vine.
My veil, most pale, shines forth the brightest

Timeless adoration
“A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I

Redamancy
Neon lights of love
glister from the strobic sphere.
Is my desire abhorrent?
My head, spinning with
each phantasmagoric twirl,
yearns for your adoration.

Wild Mountain Honey
Old Mountain tales of love spin
'neath dawn's blush,
Elderberries, purple ink drop pearls
drawing me nigh.
Ah! Her laughter just like a honeybee’s dance
in the summer’s rush.
For you ignite my days with passion,
'tis morn,

Echoes of Adoration
I saw a Greek god on the oval ground.
Smiling widely while running around
With the jersey on and sweat shown
I can watch you from day 'til dawn.
Slid a motivational quote in your locker.
Silently slip a medicine into your corner.
I hope it can make your day lighter.
Because I know being you is not easier.
I am
