Darling, paint the eyes
Every morning I paint a pair of eyes
to see the world for me—
Mines scream at
the sky fracturing into neon glass.
The dazzling eyes I painted—
I use them to fit in
the crowd dancing in chemical haze
—reasons left out at the gate.
I use them to study
the rites of smoke
—to ghost myself in every exhale.
I use them to ignore

The Box
I was grateful for the love of family and friends
But I was longing to hear your voice just once again
Then I came upon a box that I had not seen
There was a note that read ‘just a few keepsakes to you-from me’
I would recognize that handwriting anywhere
It was from you, my beloved my dear
I

Travelholic
The world welcome you
You're free to travel globally
But we always see only the best
And overlook the worst
We admire others
We forget our love
Travel is only for leisure
Knowledge and experience
And not for a living shelter
There are racism and foreigness everywhere
And so let's appreciate
What we've already possessed
Our beloved motherland and our families

A Day In Life
Start the day
Fresh
With energy
With confidence
With hopes
With plans
With dreams
Full to the brim
So that you don't have any time
To grumble uselessly
To evaluate things too strictly
To compare greedily
Until you confuse yourself
About today, yesterday and tomorrow
And overlook today
Which should be the most important day

Let Love Lead Tribute To Tb Joshua
Three things in life last forever
Faith, hope and love
The greatest is love
God is love
He that abides in love
Abides in God
And God in him
Success begins in our lives
When the problems and hurts of others
Matter to us
When the wound of one
Is the wound of all
When the pain of others
Is

Don'T Overlook This
6/24/17
I've been thinking of a whole lot
None of the same old thoughts
Never has it been about any jewelery or a gold watch
And the same could be said for having my soul lost
I'm not going to ramble on
Talk about babylon
Or what happened when there was an apple gone
Ever since a child
Growing up in the

Beauty We Overlook
Beautiful flowers abound…
Yellow, Red, purple, and brown.
There is an abundance of beauty on this Earth.
We overlook it at times, and wear a frown.

God Will Overlook
God Will Overlook
For God, would you want to go to work
As maybe quite a genius or plain old clerk
Milking many cows or working in a field
Hoping to produce a very good yield.
How about being plumber or a typist
Be in a beauty pageant and hard to resist
Or just judge sitting there who will wait
Then after best

From the Overlook
a Spanish sonnet
Passion thrives on forgiveness, oh my sweet.
Your scorn will reason well to wonder why
I attempt a smile even though your eyes
refuse to cherish blooms laid at your feet.
We need to take stock of trust when we meet;
weeds of abomination poke and pry.
From the overlook, my

Blue Ridge Mountain Overlook
While, alone, I gaze upon this splendored sight
the true meaning of Nature's spectacle is somehow lost.
I will leave with emptiness inside my heart, for, these
wonders of beauty are best seen and appreciated when
shared by two souls.
So, should you chance to pass this way alone and
long to share this sight, I leave an echo of my
heartbeat

Could Love Overlook This Pain
I consider you my chief, at one point of time
My commander at heart , leader of our military
The big gun in our castle, but mental confusion
Came upon my soul, heart and mind
Disturbance was in the air, causing a big fluster
Flurry thoughts came in my bubble, bursting illusions
As, I tell myself, this can't be true,

Overlook
June 6, 2012
You make me feel so low sometimes
And you wonder why I turn to others
You cling onto me jokingly
But in all seriousness, it bothers
I wish we can just be honestly close
Not just close, but able to click
Instead you act like a prick
It hurts to say the way I feel
Because I know you are so

Overlook Offense
Words or actions may upset you and me
If we allow them to control us, how tragic that can be.
We can avoid saying words like: “You make
Me so mad: that’s fuel to the flame, and will make their
heart glad.
Don’t admit that their actions
Have power over you. As long as that
Person knows for sure, you’ll live
