Exchanging Gifts

Wrap yourself up in a box then send the box to me
I'll unwrap you nice and slow, just for my eyes to see
And when I find out that it's you for me the gift inside
I'll scream out with excitement, my joy I would not hide

I'll take your hand and help you out, I'll give you

Exchanging Ideas

if i have a bread
and you have another one and we exchange bread,
We still have a loaf each...
If we have an idea and we talk
 exvhanging ideas, we will have 2 ideas each... 
with conversation we multiply
our ideas about life... including how
to produce more bread...

Exchanging My Vice For Jesus Christ

I   
Am shame  
In my vice   
Hate the acclaim    

Help me Jesus Christ    
And take away this pain    
My wounds are covered in ice 
Sutures being applied in vain 

My    
Life came   
The world's game

Butterflies Flit Exchanging Nectar

Butterflies flit

in the light of day,

toying about

exchanging nectar

of early spring

first blossom flush.

Yielding open

fragrant starry

clusters of soft –white

buds and blossoms,

curling tendrils,

of jasmine branches

twining unaided

among the trellis.

After a while at

shades of darkest gray

of twilight, butterflies

depart in tranquil

silence to return

in the light of day

until flowers

slowly wilt and fall

Exchanging Presents For Presence

Exchanging Presents for Presence

I’m sorry I was there,
But really not.
I did not know what being “we” was all about.
When I was with you
I always thought first about me
Never realizing what the joy
Of unrequited giving could be.
Now that “we” are no more,
I ponder what could have been,
As I deprived you of my presence,
While showering you
With token

Exchanging Gifts

Come here.
The hunger in the heart is less severe
when it is shared...
when love descends from longing,
not of emptiness, but of a need
to fill...to meet there at the vortex
where the passion stirs and multiplies,
where overflowing quite escapes our eyes
but bathes our souls in tenderness
and joy.

Come here.
where fear is never known,
where kisses seize the moment;
bodies helpless to

Exchanging Dreams: Shadorma Poem

EXCHANGING DREAMS




two old men
with retirement’s eyes
exchange dreams
on a bench,
growing tendrils of old age…
as night becomes dim

they recline
like curled sleeves wrinkling,
memories
recycled
on phonograph's needling tunes
crossing young regions

Exchanging Shoes

Who or what am I that I should judge?
When my heart bears the slightest grudge
For I am a mere mortal born in sin
My filthy rags, only by his blood, made clean

Should I weigh my sins against another’s?
Dare to believe I’m far righteous than others?
Have we walked in each other's shoes?
Has desperation ever given cause to
