. . . someone like me, sultry and carefree,
          becomes excited in tender moments,
                   simply

Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God. And only he who sees
takes off his shoes, the rest sit round and pluck blackberries.

-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The more time I share with you
I find me like a wave crashing a distant shore.
Insatiable thirst...

The girl that bought sandals
To walk up the country road
Realized her feet were sore
She  had a decision to buy
Comfortable shoes for walking

She decided to search for shoes
At the shopping mall
Walking from one shoe store
to another
In order to ponder what she wanted
She wanted to search...

You wear sandals
And I wear tennis shoes
We hate one another
Occasionally
We tolerate one another
Occasionally
We are always on different wave lengths
You’re on A.M
And I’m on F.M
Because you wear sandals
And I wear tennis shoes
I told you once before that I like you
Egotistical jerk
But it’s so charming
I guess it’s...

A girl bought sandals 
She wore them walking
On a dirt country road
Each step she took was 
painful
The stones were very sharp

Her sandals were not made
To walk on sharp tiny stones
Her feet were painful
She felt every tiny rock
Under her new sandals...

there were 
words

painting images 
at the back of my head 
and everyday 

I plucked them out
to share, yet 
I couldn’t find you

neither your shadow
that I departed for the desert
and took refuge

in the shivers 
of my sandals...

I’d soon disappear were mine Dor’thy shoes,
Fitted glass-sandals in apricot hue,
When clicked together ask wearers to choose,
Any fantasized place where dreams come true;
Outer-space, maybe, might orbit me right,
Closer to heaven and farther from here,
And death-grips wouldn’t need strangle so tight,
Since each dimension should have a...

My chariot arrived around noon the quarry was thickened with faint hushes while cedar and elm chased about raw scents throughout the draw bridges lined with knotted ropes of husk tainted with rusted metal rings clinging to the sound of my footsteps as I entered...

My chariot arrived around noon 
the quarry was thickened with faint 
hushes while cedar and elm chased about 
raw scents throughout the draw bridges lined 

with knotted ropes of husk tainted with rusted 
metal rings clinging to the sound of my footsteps

Look at that big world way out there,
eyes only three  just sit and stare,
Oh, how I want to go outside of this door,
to see that big world that's mine to explore!

" You're much too young,"   mother would say, 
"to go outside alone...

When next I visit the temple
My eyes will look  for a girl among the ample
With a bowl in hand for begging
But in sandals and legging
Sandals I zeroed in on
But from my possession gone
After trying  a couple of them
I chose the ones with expensive...

Was at the shop where sandals were sold 
A pair of flip-flops was a sight to behold 
There were thousands of pairs to wear
All beautiful from a master none compare

 There were all kinds of shapes and sizes
 But this pair of flip-flops caught my...

My life is tan, my life is gray
I dust off my sandals and leave today
I kick my feet and flap my wings shoving off with my might.
Seeking something refreshingly new is my God-given right.

I see some orange in the distance, so I kick my feet.

Jesus Wearing Some Sandals

When we saw Jesus wearing His sandals,
Riding bicycle that did have long handles;
Trump lying;
Not  buying;
Praying God save us from all the scandals. 

And LSMFT. Lord save me from Trump
or Large Smells Means Flush Toilet.
