Buttery affection rains from the skies
Nurturing the tulips and daffodils
Bursts of joy upon the earth, to arise
With wonderous smiles, sunny thrills
Robins and wrens wrestle with the wind
Laughing and crooning, inspiring serenity
Warring with the windchimes, chagrined
By the swirling charms of love’s amenity
Oaks and birch whisper to the affections
Offering their silent hope with a caress
From the budding leaves with selections
For springtime reveries hearts profess

I wonder why we are so selective?
Selective in what we hear…
Selective in what we see…
Selective in what we say…
Selective in what we read…
Why?
Why do we pick and choose and run the risk of misunderstanding others? Why don't we put our energies and efforts and affections into understanding the hidden messages instead of taking the easy way and interpreting that which is revealed?
Why?
Wouldn't it be healing if we could read between the lines and the ACTUAL lines?
If we could speak out what is hidden deep and not just on the tip of our tongues?
If we could see the inner motives: the light behind the eye, the love behind the smile, the fear of rejection behind the gesture?
If we could hear what isn’t being said?
How lovely if we could do all this instead of giving in to our selective nature?
Lost in translation…In an imperfect sin riddled world, we imperfect beings translate with our own jaded understanding what we see, hear, speak, and read…and we risk, yes, we RISK being subjected to others' selective choice in cutting us out of their lives.

the dark skies
Ambushing in the woods to my joys and pleasures
Becoming my life's mess and unwanted passions
Calling my name and his to torment me in the roads for him
Daring to cross my house to destroy my love and joys
Erasing my existence for me and for my lovely man
Falling for me no more , for him as dark clouds harms him
Gauging him for him for my displeasure
Harnessing my anger and anxiety to take him away from me
Iillness catched him to take my love and pride away
Jumping all around my home for the hope for more menace
Kidding about love and harmony
Love as the object of perfect lies beyond the skies
Meanings of love and affections are dust now for him
Nor love nor hate could take him back to my arms
Oppositions are dancing in my backyard from years
People cannot see him and me together , they have punched deep holes
Quest for love and him is over for me now
Rest is with my dear lords and gods
Sitting in my couch but wondering on seas
Tears are dried now in my eyes for me and for him
Upon the dark skies is no light present to ignite any hope
Values of love are useless now for me
Waters of harmony have evaporated long ago
Xeroxing my anger , like an artists most wonderful masterpiece
Years of separations are long now not to be filled with joy anymore
Zeniths of pleasures are gone gone now
What do the Heavens think of me
When God looks down what does He see
What things run through His mind and fill His heart
Beholding one who once was there
Now forging through a world of care
And struggling everyday to find his part
Is He proud of me, as His son
All His affections have I won
Or have I not lived in-step with His will
I wish I had the simple means
To see myself as I am seen
And know if expectations are fulfilled
But though I know not everything
I know enough for reasoning
That God doth always want the best for me
Although I stammer and I fall
And second guess and doubt and stall
I know that my potential He doth see
And thus I cannot help but feel
I wish to me God would reveal
His view from up above so very keen
Then I would fully understand
How precious to the Lord I am
If I could only…see as I am seen
I let it slip away…
Gentling whispers, like the breathless
Kisses falling over my trembling
Lips when I was young, first love – first
Dreams of everything that becomes
Possible when the soundless urge
Abandoned child, living just at the edge
Where innocence plays in harmony
With the truth, adolescent wonders hastening
Beyond the reflection in the mirror,
Starry eyed memories, drifting in dewlike
Strokes embracing the petals of a tender rose
I let it slip away…
Goosebumps chilling
Sensitive, intimate – luminous
Glistening like the sunrise, the starry
Skies winking through giggling
Winds, nomadic, as homeless as the
Hues of hope drenched in passing miles
Timeless memory, bold and vivid
Vibrating through the mind,
Tantalizing like an ageless light
I let it slip away…
Quiet dreams, affections
Resting on forever, like snowflake
Gestures abiding in the soundless free
Alive like the tenderness of naivete
Seas of solace soothe the simplicity,
Attempts at becoming like the virgin’s
Virtuous dignity, esteem washing
Away the darkness with the miracles
Imagining still life pleasures,
Touching forever with the dreams
Timid reveries with hopeless
Feelings, flames awakening the music
Beneath love’s first sightings,
Abiding like the fire inside who holds
Life like a tantalizing blaze,
Passions promise to exhale the fires
Blending with desire – smiling
I let it slip away…
But I still say there is a second chance
To feel love – to be loved
I let it slip away…
To reveal real love!

In time, my love will grow as you wish,
In time, I may want to kiss you even more,
In time, I would always want you near me,
When you are here, satisfy and gratify,
........... I would be.
In time, I would want to be with you,
Wishing you, would love me more and dear,
Wishing your love to grow ever each year,
Gladden my heart as love deepens too.
In time, I would love to hear you,
As your tender whispers sing in my ears,
In time, I would want to love only you,
As you are always gentle with my soul,
Easing all of my fears, endears you to my heart,
But now we are still so far apart,
I am heartened, wishing our future to brighten,
As of now we are still longing and wishing,
And hoping that you can see through my emotions.
In time, you would be here always, to stay,
In time, your sweet love will smitten my heart,
In time, your deep affections,
......... will brighten our lives,
In time, we would never, ever be away and apart...
........ from each other..

Your love is always embracing me
With a gentle whisper of acceptance
With you, I know that grace is real
I can always feel your kindness reflected
In the way the sun rises over the mountains
Restoring my joy with its lemony kisses
Your light is forever welcoming me
Into a hope filled conversation, a talk
With laughter echoing like a dream
Raining wonder through the hereafter
Silencing all the worry, doubt and dread
With sunny smiles and quiet compassion
Your love is eternally holding my spirit
In a miracle of intimacy, a willingness to give
Encouragement and promises of blessings
Starry skies and seas of tenderness, soft
And easy sighs that remind me why I delight
In the glow of your endless affections
Your light is ceaselessly charming me
With warmth, enthusiasm and eagerness
Securing my dreams inside where I know
Your wonderful streams of joy will flow
Never ending, always giving the sweetness
Fragrant as the blushing rose we so enjoy
Your love is endlessly alive like the fires
Stirring up miracles on the inside of my soul
Where I am sure I know the grace and mercy
The limitless peace that comes from your breath
Soothing my anxiety, healing all my hurt
Reassuring my heart that with you, I know hope
Your light survives the night, radiating the wonder
So alive, thriving, deciding to give each heart
A part of your joy, your grace, your amazing love
Dancing like the praise that comes from the one
Who knows that You are the solution to every doubt
You make a way where no way can be found
Your love caresses my spirit with a soft answer
To the prayers I pray – requesting your acceptance
Yearning for your reply, response, satisfaction
Brought to the soul who knows that You are
The way to fulfillment, sincerity and serenity
The way to a life full of hope, faith and love!
With this morning prayer… I hope you know I care
More than words will ever describe…
With a heart where You will forever reside!
I’m a wild tulip, bending but
breathing beneath
a star-burnished breeze,
skimming the blazing
silk of supernova dust,
as sirens ricochet through
honeyed silence,
as though no dream has forgotten
the music of my muse,
whilst I sip from
the sky of ethereal ink:
his skin ~ my orbit,
his eyes ~ my ocean,
his lips ~ my universe,
pulling me to the
depths of desire,
for our light sings amidst
stillness that floats through ~
like an aquatic garden,
where water orchestrates
tides of temptation
and trembling tercets,
composing currents
of careful devotion…
O mystical moon,
must I serenade the sparks
that bloom beneath
your cosmic gaze?
I feel the astral frequency
of galaxies within veins,
like whimsical waves touching
the shifting shades
of shimmering silver,
whilst I remain apologetic
for the erased cadence of charm,
unlearned in quietness
amidst unseen constellations,
quivering in sync
with the quintessence
of quenched vows…
I was never a promised island ~
but a forgotten home,
with walls aching to be heard
beyond avoidant acrylics,
framed in rhinestone regrets.
So take me ~ twirl me,
like a swirling sapphire
carrying chaos of celestial flickers,
twisting and teasing
through traveling time of tornadoes…
Forgive me, as I relinquish
the mythical waterfalls,
their addictive affections
falling too fleetingly
for Capricorn captivation.
I am more than a mere vanilla version
of a vision illustrated in loneliness,
sugarcoated in rose-ruffled mists,
when dusk itself
drowned in drumbeats of disarray…
(a story in trochaic tetrameter)
Even a Prince must bend his knee
to the lass who has won his heart.
“Please be my bride, stay by my side
forever - tell me we shall wed.”
“My love and affections are yours,
they have never been better fed
- you are surely pleasures master,
with your rough hands and softer lips.”
“Then let us petition the clerk,
we can be wed in a fortnight!”
Sometimes love takes dismaying turns.
There are standards, some are double.
The future princess must be chaste.
The clerk asked, “Are you a virgin?”
“Do you seek to entrap us, sir?”
The prince asked, his hand to dagger.
“We cannot hoodwink the law, sir.
It must be asked and answered.”
And so the clerk asked it again,
“Would you swear on your honor miss?”
“If I had a virgins honor,”
the possible, future princess said.
The high clerk sighed and sheathed his pen.
“Most honest and least virtuous
lady, the marriage cannot be.”
“So, then the law is strictly tied
to something lost in love’s first blush?”
She asked, with no show of dismay.
“My actions follow the law, miss.”
If the clerk sounded bored, he was.
The prince, however, was outraged.
and on the verge of a salvo.
The clerk feared a soliloquy.
To stall the coming storm, the clerk
said, “I believe you KNOW the King?”
“He’s my father!” The prince revealed,
to no one’s shock or great surprise.
“The King, the law - the law, the King?”
The clerk's finger turned like a wheel.
Somewhere deep in princes mind
a dim bulb lit. “To the Castle!”
The clerk smiled wryly at the lass,
who shrugged back. Love would find a way.
your left hand was hard, but your right, gracious
putting me in the balance of Love
of which its fulcrum is discipline and respect.
Your weaknesses were classified
just to ensure I see beyond mine
Your chastisement was not without pain
of which its appreciation
is a strong indicator of my gradual maturity.
You always guard the gates of my territory like a Centurion
and fight against all antigens like a warlock.
You taught me how to be complete
and provided the staff and Ass
as I journey across Life and appreciate.
I initially thought of you differently
when you gave me the partially made sandal,
when you refused to help with the air-tight metal box,
when you gave me bone while milk was still my best delicacy
when you laughed at me while I'm confused
and worst of all, stopping Mum to come to my rescue.
I never knew they were task of Life I most needed,
finishing off the sandal made me industrious,
opening the box, made me determined and never relenting,
chewing the annoying bone made me grow up;
your scorn and laughter actually made me decisive
and rescuing myself made me independent.
All these sum up to making me a MAN!
Which makes you my Hero and role model.
Before I was, there was you;
in fact, I am in existence because of you.
I've always clinged unto you as my Life's support
but you allow me make my mistakes
so as to be the best gadget.
Your regulation of Mum's affections
only makes me be an unspoilt egg.
I always increase when you sweat
and your headaches are stepping stones to my zeniths.
You are such an irreplaceable asset
and your love, so refreshing as the evening air.
What more can I say and how else can I show gratitude?
As much as I know, you need none of these,
One thing I must always say is,
I LOVE YOU DAD!
