The Nearness Of You

Wondering where you are tonight?
Can't feel the warmth of your sight
Your wings that cuddle me under the moonlight
Your heat that incubates me in spotlight.
I'm a shelled-duckling not so pretty
My little heart beats so fast and plenty
Nearness of you I pray for each day
Your body to stay beside me all day!

The Nearness of You

I saw you
Smoother than smooth 
Exotic
Kissed by strokes of earth tones; and
I can only imagine,
Traversing manhood of mounds
Toned, buffed, offering much joy delight
Noon or night.

So, I asked myself:
Is it the curve of your lips?
The pull of your smile?
The look in your eyes?
Undisguised, as the warmth I feel
Because of you?

The Nearness, the Now

Hemmed in by the Nearness
Held back by the Now
The wishful striver, always, who
O'ercome both somehow.

Lost in an isle's sailed thrill
Sea-hazed, whilst safe moored!
As far unfound, delirious
Whilst by Time's Sea shored!

A Distant Nearness

From his hands white, hang blood
diamonds and fur, keys to boardrooms
and shoes shined for climbing
ladders, a cushion upon which to sit
at the table. The eyes of a black man,
glittering, see a seed in his hand without
soil in which to sow. An Indigenous 
woman’s face fades from a missing
person’s poster, one of the Canadian two
thousand. A

I Yearn Your Nearness

You're the fierce flame that burns in my heart,

to keep me going, know that I (was) am

the harmony that loved you from the start.

I weep and mourn for the warm human lamb;

tremble from the deep fearful hollow dam.

None listen to my mournful lullaby.

You laid a breath kiss, died a lover's sigh

under heaven's steps in the

Eternal Nearness

the wind blows, and gusts prevail,
I sense your essence in the breeze
as the tempest rages in warm rains,
emerging from the dust I was found
weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains;

a million fairytales tremble at us,
they know how our love does outshine with flickering light-
fleeting into the ebon night; for our love loses

Nearness of You

By the nearness of you...
I can say: I might never be blue..
I have someone to embrace and coo..
I have someone not too early; doesn't ask for dues..

In the nearness of you..
My cheeks turns red into flush..
Magical feelings commence to gush..
Like butterflies flying in hues and rush...

By the nearness of you..
I feel a quiet caressing warmth..
Enveloping

Nearness of Autumn

In froths of a sky never ever ending,
she throttles like a half—shelled woman
slow to prance in the midst
 of obedient breeze,
her movement wrapped 
like a hundred cider vines...

How orange are her nights.

This hue burnt by sways 
of corrugated leaves ; a crown 
adorned with pearlized sequins
turning tangerine in kaleidoscopic 
swirls  of atumnal hues, this

Nearness

the lord is never nearer than when he seems to be away 
in times when we are tempted and apt to go astray
in times of hurt and sadnessheis right there by our side 
with his love surrounds us when we in him abide
when problems loom above us  too big for us to bear

Nearness

I love thee more than all the Earth, so nullified
that of my Soul do love as qualified
this urge of sanctity involved
with only thy apprentice, thy resolved.

And I am pregnant with it so revolved
that every force within me is evolve
to thy full presence given, God's absolve
that nearness ever blessed, ever row ~
