Engagement Poems

The human heart…the young human heart. I look at our lives, the confusion we live in. Falling in and out of love, having friends..with benefits…dreaming of perfect relationships…unrealistic ones. Sometimes I wonder what kind of children we’re gonna make if...Read More

A lifetime of learning
Like un-Religion, practiced un-Art.

Focusing one eye out, one eye in
‘Seeing’.

And marrying the two
Within disciplines learned… ‘Aha’ moments.

Nothing’s meet ‘Nothing’
Infinity’s meet ‘Infinity’.

All merged in ‘Beyond Understanding’.

Whose field long ago I laid down in
Waiting for Sun’s morning gifts.

Coming into...Read More

Rejoicing amidst triumphant delight
My heart joins you toward gratefulness’ height
For your altar date of partnership might
With your fervently prayed-for Mr. Right.

I ask God to bless your jubilant flight
From being Miss to Mrs. Lady Bright
As you gladly walk by faith, not...Read More

Sometimes spontaneity is the best,
For your entree into a particular quest

Too much thinking holds you back,
So does confidence if it is lacked

Is it fear that overrides a yes,
Or that we won’t do our best

So often the delay,
Is procrastination in a...Read More

What’s in a number, those two that be together;
To bring two numbers (or things) together;
To make a new total
One and Three, 1 + 3 over…

Merrily, bringing me-Stability;
Invokes me grounds me;
In nature of all things I see;
One and Three, 1 plus...Read More

Her preparations to be his
was at the exspence of others
each morning started from
the night before
she commanded his attention
and demanded his loyality
while she sought favor from
others redefining words like
contrite and non chalet
Saving her need for others
While she gathered gossip
for conversation
there bouts...Read More

Black 
Am I
I am… result of absence of
I am complete absorption
Instill yet instills voids of light

I am like white yet what is it
What’s this?
Black Am I

In our life-building engagement…
does genuine love prevail, upholding our commitment?

For this evaluative retrospection endeavor 
what response is needed to show our caring* fervor? 

Within our partnership, can lonely hearts find their home
feeling the warmth from our sweet grace-dome?

Do we cherish...Read More

Here I am sitting in the park again
Sapping the sweat from my face
My Spirit is at ease and mind is settled
The tumultuous moment has passed
And you have finally come out of the dark
The stage is set and I have won...Read More

Sat I engaged and talking
You’d not listen, you are not listening
While I pondered, my voice quivering telling and mocking
While I voiced myself, expressiveness and flocking
Spit out those wet words
You refuse to hear
You’d not listen, you are not listening
While I voiced...Read More

My jubilant love, you inspire me to write.
I love the way you’re so forgiving,
Invading my mind day forward through night,
Always dreaming about us reliving.

Let me compare you to a caring prey?
You are more happy, content and special.
Clear breeze flaps birds...Read More

In "On Fire"
Naomi Klein reminds us
win/lose capitalism invites a collective action vacuum
and abhors restrictions on money-accumulating freedom,

But Earth,
a healthy global climate,
healthy ecosystems
invite regenerative win/win climax
of cooperatively nurturing health systems
and abhor inhumane definitions of "wealth"
as privately-held and autonomously sequestered currency
energy
natural resources
human...Read More

I promise after the fire
Firefly
I promise After the flood
Tumbleweed
Deep and dark paths
Primrose bath
Rain showers upon my wrath
Firefly
My promise never to leave your side
After earthquakes
After the rain has gone
Multicolor rainbows
Circling
Droplets of dew
Covering you
As your glitter and Flicker and cross my way
Like...Read More

Hello my brothers
Hello my sisters
We who are strong must be considerate

The strong should always
Bare the affirmatives of the weak
 
And in...Read More

Exultant, my heart reveres God with gratitude
Omniscient Creator of prudence-altitude
Sustaining life’s breath, mightily miraculous
Upholding mankind by His virtues' fortitude

Mightily anchoring holiness by truth’s brace
His outstretched arm orchestrates timely perfection
Excellently fulfilled along...Read More

Be that there more so 
Are there any Spirits
And yet all Spirits are not from God
Some Spirits are demon filled
 miraculous gifts from the Holy Ghost 
God's a virtue of which 
Spirits of man 
Tried and true 
To show whether...Read More

When did I learn to walk?
The awkward stance,
a toddler’s uncertain step,
stumbling, falling, 
getting up again until
rhythm of feet and
balance work in sequence, 
was that when I learned
to walk? No.

When did I learn to walk?
Kindergarten marches,
a military parade of sorts
around a...Read More

Hello, guys! am I new to you?
Don't be scared I am  just a virus
I came to the human cycle recently 
As some Chinese eat wild animal 

Come on! Let's tell you something 
About my attitude toward people 
Even some...Read More

Miraculously God fed me
miraculously miraculously.
fed me manna from heaven
 as I was wondering and wandering 
in my Wilderness 
his history is nature fully fed us
 from heaven as I was wondering
Miraculously

your dark head was stuck in a book,
trying to get your attention I sat next to you,
you looked up and your blue eyes melted me,
my knees were shaking and wanted to flee.

We had...Read More
