Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit, 
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking 
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

A whirl, a gust, and a thunderous boom commenced,
Heartened by the latter soreness of silent night,
Shackled through the chill blows above,
A tempest, a storm,
Threshing the world,
Shaking the Prison of Plot,

The waters of the Holy Spirit...

I knew she does not belongs to me,
But it was a fire that I played with heart.
Only in fairy tale a river meets sea,
She sometimes smiled then faded away apart.


The flowers I gave her are...

"I love you"
These are the three ripe words that 
I wanted to whisper in your ears.
So, I
Fixed a date
You came
We met 
We spoke
But I couldn't propose:
Though tattooed on the tip of my tongue,
at my dismay...

Whenever you feel lost
Or when you feel to reset
To look back and feel refreshed
Click the “Home” key
It’ll open the door to inner prosperity
A heart filled with joy
For there’s no place like home

When you feel like...

"We chase unreachable heights, in the hope to find happiness,
Only to find we are still the same, because in fact we are chasing ourselves."

My soul trapped, dark and broken
Pain so deep no words could be spoken
Buried within me scars like tokens
A heart dormant is slowly awoken.
A breath taken thru shaky lips
Carefully placing my footing so I don't slip
Happiness...

I don't have any money, means the check is in the mail
I ain't got no money, means the water's dried up in the well
black folks tend to use language, lingo and speech 
that can be...

COLOR BLIND




I thought it was over, though I could never understand




Why we can't walk down the street, holding different hands




'Can't walk side by side, have to have a divide



Sepreate fountains, Sepreate seats, treated as a...

But for me I can never find happiness
And every day is a struggle for survival
Fill with pain and hurt and loneliness.

Some times People comes in our life
 When we are lease expected

 Spreads over us and gets us infected

Question not the heart who bleeds,
The one who survives the wars who deceive,
Like the quiet smile, blessed by eyes
Who glisten with joy, inspiration and wonder,
Laughing at the dark and stirring the dreams
Beyond dark’s shadows, 
Where...

Of an august-like, autumn day:

I kept on walking
Bespoke in dust-coated
Check jacket,
Check pants,
Polo-neck jersey ...
I rambled destinationless:
A la les sapeur - 
The gods,
The directors,
Were focusing on me - 
Me the starring only
As

I kept on walking
In all...

Why is it called 'Black History Month'
Black means void of light
why because we are nonwhite
this should be voted out
because the name Human Race 
carries more weight
Sure, I understand
it is a way of denouncing the browner...

There she sits, a "Black Bird on a wire"
On wings repose "she sings of light"
 "Broken People" gather beneath her 
People who have seen the "Faces of Storm"
Accused, Yet "guilty of innocence"
I become an "Unaware...

Can I controversially be the delusional one...
when that universal peace, 
confidently spoken by Jesus,
is easily reachable by different means;
ponder over those words:
that even an unrealistic one 
doesn't find hard to imagine:
what's to come...if love ruled...

I'm confused, mentally I'm at a crossroad 
due to years of trial & error with failed 
love attempts, a small ratio of my mind doesn't
know if she's an angel in disguise

When love was innocently
given and this once gorgeous boy, merely fourteen,
choose a red-haired girl 
to be his special friend;
he offered her a smooch sweeter than honey, 
to find delight on her rosy cheek...
