My friend, we come from different families
With one Father –
Families whose rhythm,
And whose music,
Differs as widely
As the way
We open Christmas presents
Or 
Dye our Easter eggs.

My friend, I love you
Magnetically drawn into
That love by a singular
Voice
Raised upon a blood stained hill
In...Read More

Tears in the Garden of Gethsemane were in a downpour
They ran deep in the cracks of pain of a divine soul
There was an endurance of a struggle to repress the world’s evils
An anguish that could not edify Jesus' slumbering disciples

Shifting Sands

Chagrined but involved 
Demographics today presents:
The Silent ones and Baby boomers, 
Gen Xers, Xennials and Millennials
And Generation Z in the digital era
Agape; staring in bewilderment 
And groping with reality imposed
That the crème de la  crème
Of the millions of...Read More

They say
?There are a million ways?
To say I love you

In this day and age?
I could only find
?In my computer’s brain?
The words 
to say I love you?
In 53 languages 
of the 10,000 languages
?Spoken on this planet

Someday I may be able
?To say...Read More

So many seek you by the light of the dawn only to lose you through the haze of dusk
You are mysterious at times a silent secret  in the navel of mans thoughts, a deviance 
a variate inside the doors...Read More

Countless hearts and roses fall for sake of heeding Cupid's call ...

In the valley where
Life is lived as intended
Happiness is widespread
As far as any eye can see.
Joy and love reign
As peace and blessings
Fall from above.
Minor disagreements though
Few and far between,
Met with acceptance and
Understanding are 
Respectfully resolved with
Knowledge and equality
For the good...Read More

Seen from the bruised sheets
the two open mouths of her shoes
(one face down and drunk
the other lopsidedly agape)
speak to him in groans and murmurs.

Her face smudges the glass
in the bathroom mirror;
she is squeezed into a jar of light.

Headlights strafe the...Read More

The opera isn't over until the fat lady sings,
the demotic aphorism goes

Before the curtain goes up at the opera house, 
someone least expected comes out to close the show

She was no fat lady. Rather, a young soprano. 
A shy young...Read More

Beyond romance 
of one-flesh* ecstasy…
above sweet expectations
during marriage-vow recital…
may God’s love lift you up together
bound by His passionate affection, divine
toward blessed, blissful, beautified union… verily triumphant!

Against turmoil
after wedding date…
from struggles awaiting
midst honeymoon’s delight…
may the Lord’s care keep you more
intimately cleaving...Read More

Twas my glimmering treasure trove 
to secure.
I admit fully to being anything
but shy and demure!

His buoyancy, his enigmatic zeal
while we...Read More

Your heart is the frail vessel 
containing the power of the winds.
It carries you, wholesomely, 
in tiny pieces of crystal
through the liquid night.

Let your spirit be still,
amid the throbs of pain
sculpting deeper chambers in your heart.

God's Love runs deep.

When horizons are lost and dim,
Standing in solace with a hymn;
My eyes sunken within a hole,
Eternal love, embrace my soul.

Of tired tears where the pain remains,
Looking for you to break the chains;
Resurrecting my body whole,
Eternal love, embrace my soul.

When love...Read More

Ashen was the sky 
That rejected hand of sunrise
Sullen was the heart
That stumbled in affection,

Incapable of lauding
Ruby blush of budding rose
And pink passions on horizon
Defying darkened woes.

In midst of a vibrant spring
Her garden blooms curled up
Amid hostile dry weather,

Teared-up, she...Read More

Though justification may be in faith, 
And hope sustain us through all trouble,
Greater still than either is agape, 
The love that comes from God, 
The concern for our fellow creatures
Which acknowledges our oneness.
