SOULMATESTWO BECAME ONE
Distinct,
but complementary
the mutual fusion
flowed
in perfect harmony
as sensibililties
embraced
aromas of love
becoming
a revealed
bond
of
opposites
yet equivalent
the attraction
so natural
by
divine
magnetism
was sealed
inherent
within
the uniqueness

Planche de Chair CuiteShe was not invited
She was arranged
They never wanted Jasmine
not the woman who brought basil-clean hands
and pomegranate soap
who harmonized soliloquies into pastries
while they offered only
hinges rusted shut
She was not guest
She was garnish
Not Jasmine the flower
but Jasmine the bulb
strangled in its own clay
frost biting at the marrow
buried beneath their polite...

A Resilient HeartWe would be getting married tomorrow.
If only December me knew what I know.
I would have put more thought into that
And realized I needed glossy, not matte.
Has my body forgotten your touch,
And my heart, that adrenaline rush?
Has my mind moved on from the distrust
From what always felt less want than must?
The thing we had was...

a matched setHe is boorish, churlish, an overbearing lout
my old maiden aunt introduced him all about
he’s my man, she announced, with a giddy shout
they are a matched set, I have no doubt...

The Silence Between UsWill things ever go back to the way they were?
I took for granted those smiles, those laughs
and now I don’t see them anymore.
How do I undo what’s already done?
Did I let go of your hand somewhere along the way,
or were you gone before I even knew?
Your voice sounds different now
does it mean you’ve fallen out...

Just a Memory, Not Your MiseryYou told me it wasn’t too late
that I could still mend the cracks.
But it feels like I’ve been losing you
long before the truth escaped your lips.
Only God is my ally now,
and to Him I surrender everything,
so I can have your love
back again.
How did I become your misery?
How did my words turn empty?
How did I become…...

The Misery I BecameAm I too late to fix things?
Have I lost you?
Have you fallen out of love?
Is this what God has written for us?
Am I the only one to blame?
I have so many questions
but I truly thought I gave everything.
How will I move on
if I ever let you go?
I can’t live knowing
you longed for someone else,
or even...

Peace Without YouToday I learned
that being me
always here for you,
always yours in intimacy
was never enough.
I did not give you
the peace your soul was searching for.
It shatters my heart…
how did we come to this?
I learned today
you were looking for comfort
in someone else’s words,
and all this time
I thought I was your world.
Have I taken you for granted?
Was it my...

Balm of time heals, hurts just enoughIf balm of time heals, oft hurts just enough,
Heart heals because it exerts just enough.
Unfortunate for all destinations,
Journeys do end, linger thirsts just enough.
Many a love may die before its time,
Perhaps the love bird flirts not just enough.
If a marriage gets short of breath midway,
It seeks short cuts, skirts the right long...

ROOM FOR RENT
Too small,
for two of us.
Wanting to run away,
I was reluctant to stay here.
Our pay checks did not reach far in those days,
I had a place to rest my head.
Needed more rent money,
please rain dollars.
Too small....

The Lifting Of The VeilThe lifting of the veil
a revealing of all that was concealed
some see beauty, others bewail
regardless of feelings all will yield
the separation has begun
from the goats and sheep
everyone get ready for the arrival of the Son
some will shout for joy, others will weep
a metamorphous is taking place
the Bride is making herself ready
we are about to gaze...

No goodbye's and goneYour divorcing words rip at me.
Like a callous young boy
who tears the wings off
of a butterfly,
then throw
Its butchered body
into the air
and yells "fly".
Although I still my my limbs
my days and nights
are no longer beautiful....

Only StatusLove is now a game of knives.
She arrives in silk—smiling sweet—
But what lies behind that smile?
A mirror or deceit?
She loves with terms.
You, with blood.
Her heart is wired not for truth
But for security.
What engine purrs beneath your car?
Which gates conceal your home?
What digits fill your bank account?
These speak louder than your soul.
You call it love—
She calls...
