Human being, stretched tension
between the divine and animal realms,
distant balance suspended
between the exiguous and the abysmal!
The body only acts
with what eyes see
and the spirit grasps...
Only in my solitude,
I absorb the complete calm
and the serene sound of silence.
Gentle gestures generate kindness,
tender manners generate tenderness...
attention generates desires,
care generates love...
If you have love,
love without restrictions...
if you have more than love,
let me love even more...
I like much more
what my soul wants,
than just what the body desires,
having both feelings,
life will be full of beauty...!
In life we must avidly,
seek full knowledge
like someone searching for a precious stone...!
Your kindness elevated me
past my sorrow and set me free.
For indiscretions I’m ashen.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Your goodness ever rescued me
from terrible shame you did see.
Forgive my sins of blind passion.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Your loving grace shone over me.
I have sinned, exceeding degree.
Take my exiguous ration.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Your countenance supported me
throughout the fears I wished to flee.
I’m filled with guilty admission.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Your outstretched hand beckoned to me
that I gratefully followed thee.
I ask You hear my confession.
Mercy O Lord, and compassion.
Blue jeans, “Blue” of a hard-working Father.
Blue suits, which exudes ownership and leadership.
Biblical Blue, in a verse, note “that at around God’s throne,"
has some sapphire Blue.
The first heaven seen above, notably is sky Blue.
The “Medal of honor;” color Blue, represents:
Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice.
All of which a very good Father should have or acquire.
True Blue, should be known of all true loving Fathers.
There were exiguous Fathers explores and some as a sailor.
A nautical traverse done over the deep Blue seas.
Men then and men now fulfilling their family's needs.
A notable Father's commissioned service sacrifice deeds.
Lapis, Sapphire, Turquoise has stone colors of Blue.
Some Emblems on flags, forever, flying, free.
Also, to be wearing proudly on a navy Blue arm-sleeve.
In his arms holding baby child for their first bottle milk feed.
A new Father's life, that is now much more real.
"True Blue," a Father with the most zealous of zeals.
a signature mug
sugar cookies on cute plate
the first sip and crunch
woolen-wet and crumbly ahh
satisfied he unbags their gifts
there’s no plate this stop
exiguous crumbs to sate
a child by the hearth
swaddled in his own bare arms
Santa warms up room
the child awakens
wrapped in a holiday quilt
presents wall to wall
a huge tree stands proud with star
hears reindeer hoofs on roof
stops from here to there
regal Santa’s ho ho cheer
no child left behind
without a joyful reward
and a kiss of chocolate

Each voice, every night
I never dream escaping away.
Tonight, he opened under rain, love.
Our voice - eternal gift -
Over Earth sleeps on needles again...
No darkness.
I could answer nothing true.
Learning one very exiguous year,
Other usual afternoon, nowhere...
You may obey reasons
Every time healing another negritude...
Imagine death over me,
Your love, our endless life...
