Ships pass in the dark,
so near yet so far

A hair’s breadth away
—eternity preys

Living with the love of your life, 
But not loving the life you’re living
Is like living a life’s breadth from love...

Black elephant in the sun
As the biblical tower of Babel
Hordes of twisted tongues
Infest width, breadth
From Ajegunle slums
To the plateaus of Jos!...

Buddha cast in bronze

--- heaped high w/ new-fallen snow ---

smiles unfazed, dwindles

cross-legged in the garden

under the sky's vast length, breadth....

Fragile
Heart hungers for
A flicker of your face,
Slowly trace the breadth of your frame
To be

God Is Both Deep and Broad

He has been both deep and broad,
Which is depth and breadth of God,
Height and length,
Of great strength,
Who forever we will love and laud.

Dust, which  is  substantially  all  that was required, 
For the  creation of  the ordinary  mankind, 
And with a  powerful  gust  of  breath, 
Life  bloomed unto the  once  formless  earth’s breadth....

I listen with my heart
The breathing of the wind
Which blows now unapposed
The breadth and depth within
How long I've been alone
How long we've been apart
How long does one suppose
That everything must end...

V enus arrives on shore graciously in a shell
E asily carried by breadth the sun gods expel
N ymphs greet her with a rich purple cloak
U ndulating roses their seed heads shook
S he covers her modesty with a smoldering look...

Pink color you wear I always see
Red in your heart showers in me
White mixed with red, pink in strength
White in each spark of breaths
White that cleanse all depths
White's loving breadth
Pink, red, white
Colors
Love...

the sun sweeps across the land
caresses hills and valleys
and all i see is the breadth
that separates me from you

i can't help but wonder
what lies beyond the horizon

if my tomorrow were to come
with unpolished skies
still my day would shine 
amidst thoughts of you

in this breadth 
of night's chill
i am wrapped
in the depths
of dreams
as they awaken
beneath the veils
of darkness...

Above: Blue Heaven. 
Heavens above:
breath in spaces, breadth of wings, 
winding spirals. Loved ones leave: 
alive with God. 

Looking beyond
tall ladders, high stairs, 
finding you, my Lord and my God,
beside: Immanuel.

Fragile
Heart hungers for 
A flicker of your face, 
Slowly trace the breadth of your frame
To be
In passion rhythm in your warm thoughts 
A flirtatious embrace
Wake me from this
Ill dream

George walked past the throngs
Straight to the pier.
It had been a long day
And he needed
To digest it all, to recount
time.
To remember love again.
To catch it
In the air.
His large hands on the wooden rail,
Julie came to mind....

Poets are only fettered by the depth and breadth of imagination
Words flow from their minds, gleaned memories for inspiration

Sunlit clouds,
tapestries of vapor,
fill the void.

Summer nights,
moments I savor,
my mind toyed.

To be lost again, 
in the winter brr,
all green destroyed.

But through summer's death
and winter's breath
Spring fields expand their breadth....

The length of days
that stretches ahead

      promises me again
      a skyey breadth,

a watery and windy
primeval union

      of the Earth
      and the Sky.

In their dark depths
and heady heights,

      there I swim,
      there I fly....

Waiting for love is life's game,
Only those who have waited know
Not to hold your breadth.
Desire to love again 
Eats away the pain of
Remembering  the wait.
Follow your dream 
Until your waiting is over.
Life's game has to be played

skips...my heart skips
each trip apart
ripping all
chips from
shaking
blades.

fall...my tears fall
as streams flow
through breadth
mountains
above
pain.

erupt...our breaths erupt
as volcanos spew
passionate lava
like fountains
spraying
life....
