Long Unmeasurable Poems

Tell me, my friend,  
does infinity not unsettle your reason,  
or is it a comfort—to believe it meaningless?  

Look beyond the rust of your disbelief—  
this isn’t the frostbitten dogma you...

Dear God and creator,
Be a giver and a believer
Never forget to forgive and endure
Never forget to let live and find Your cure
No more grieving processes
Nor will there be any more trespasses
Don’t give way to giving...

Recalling moments stored in memories with people I miss
Staring at a star-filled sky sometimes it's nice to reminisce
Seems like it was yesterday if only a short while
Cruising along my own time machine with thoughts that...

Annul the nation, 
Annulation of the situation,
Feed our egos with propaganda and lies,
Numb the souls, Occupy the minds,
Distraction from living our lives,
Specified time for us to go outside,

Adaption didn’t pose a problem
Normalizing the lack of...

When our eyes first met, in an evening's glow of twilight
the moon was rising, the world disappeared
I saw only you
we enjoyed a calm gentle merriment
as love's breath crossed the unmeasurable distance
where we found a glistening...

I faced alarming paradoxes
as I headed toward puberty.

First,
my King James Bible-belting parents,
extended family,
and all-hopelessly-WHITE farm community
taught me

God loves me
and all the children,
red and yellow,
and black almost as much as white.

That felt good
but then I learned...

There was someone, whom I too once loved,
A heart so pure, a flame that never swerved.
 
She taught a guy, ignorant of the world's ways,
Little by little, and subtly, most of its baffling sways.
 
Her...

It’s hard to meet someone serious at college. Everyone’s busy,
self-centeredly grinding away at their dreams. So much so that
people tell you to not even try (especially as a freshman).

I was mostly at ease with myself—as...

Reverence affects yours
     truly with unmeasurable
     infinite jubilant zeal,
sans unbeknownst world wide

(~Boast~)
A year is but a mere blink,
A century is just a sigh.
We dream awake, we sleep to think,
Let time pass, long enough for trees to dry.

(~Confusion~)
Centuries old, young for our eyes,
Led by pride, beauty, and...

But my God, Yahweh, sees beyond this façade, He knows my worth,...

Find out why things have to be this way.
Find out why this is the way it's gotta be.
There's so much emotions building in me.
There's so much I can say but I won't.
Still all you've been...

The delicate eyes of a poet
see the world through the pain and joy
of their soul
where words form within its eternal space
that is unmeasurable
to feel...to sense...to ponder
with their passion's pen  
to release what's felt

The sun was newly risen above the Earth
his heated smile warmed amber desert sands.
The grand landscape resembled barren lands
as sepia grains were slathered by rippling waves
That's what I would see through blurred vision,
the hallucination of...

I know sadness
it comes each day without my consent
and holds me before its easel
where it paints tears streaming down my face
beneath fading moons and portraits of yesterdays
that hang in the dim lit gallery of my...

Pondering love’s inquisitions hitherto thine perplexities
as thou should knowest its tenderness requite.  
Whilst thy deliberate forthright such iniquitous fortitude of beguiling amorous utterances. 
Thine onliest causality lay boisterous extemporizations whereupon the chorus of crescendoing...

Our world was born from one genuine strong intention,
pressed in simple sentence,
one astonishing spelling out 
the magical composed  phrase
that deeply stressed  frozen black matters 
and born and expanded our Universe 
with myriads bright...

simple statement of truth that Mothers do not age,
boundless love for offsprings one of God’s gifts,
tears they endure they never show,
hide hurt with hurried smile,
day or night, year on end, their service never ends,

His soul weeps
while it's held in the arms of shadows
they cry too
feeling the teardrops of innocence
form a dark reflecting pool of pain
that lingers as a suffocating memory
burned into his soul

When a Father's cold angry hateful...

I keep your beauty in my heart
like a precious jewel...that shines
in a twilight's trembling realm of passion
   seen in molten candlelight
whose flame will keep the intimate kiss
with all its contours rendered in a...

As I need this time to sit out on the porch
Just a short time even in this mist and cold
I know that you are here even though I can't see

But then I can see your...
