There is no denying the power of love.
It is a splendid teacher
Quite adept at instructing us
In ways that completely alter our character,
And telling us how to be what we never were,
Or never even imagined we could ever be.
In certain individuals
Its transformations are frequently nothing short of miraculous.
It breaks down all our natural barriers,
And in the blink of an eye
Can turn a niggardly pinchpenny into a philanthropist,
An obsequious milquetoast into a courageous and gallant knight,
And make a paragon of "politesse" out of an absolute boor.
The inveterate sluggard becomes a captain of industry,
And the most innocent of dullards
Becomes a wellspring of sagacity and worldliness.
What a marvelous whetstone for sharpening wits
And honing the senses is love.
Even its most hardened critics…
Those victims and casualties who proved to be intractable and unteachable…
Find it difficult, if not impossible,
To deny the power of love's ability to inspire
The most truly amazing things in a human heart.

A formless truth,
That leaves us hopeless yet moves mountains,
An invisible fuel,
Burning brighter than any star in the heavens.
A senseless view,
Igniting every senses of our being,
Ancient yet new,
Unteachable but understood in feeling.
There is no more or less,
It is only constant,
No maybes or second guesses,
Perpetual in its motion.
There is no gold nor silver,
Immaterial is its essence,
No doubt, no fear,
Immortally transcendence.

He forgave the unforgivable,
Loved the unlovable,
Helped the ungrateful,
Taught the unteachable,
And reached the unreachable.
He befriended the friendless,
Gave hope to the hopeless,
Worked with the clueless,
Guided the sightless
And defended the defenceless.
Yet you let him sleep on a rug
And never give him a hug.
You even teach him to beg.
You must be some sort of mug
To expect any more from your dog.

There is no dictionary large enough
to contain the words I need
to write this down. Virgo, child of doubt,
server of scars. My perfection is
a cracked pot that knows only questions
and voices huddled round silence that
shape an unnameable darkness
with singing impenetrable by light.
Curled up deep inside every dream,
my song rises in the throat, but
will not come out. This lump
that lives down deep, inside hope.
We learn too late the unteachable things -
like how this Abyss overtakes us,
even if we refuse to jump.
Creatures loyal to the asking,
we tear ourselves apart and call it life;
and love, at best, a temporary healing.
something unteachable.
Where is the bandage that can cover
this tear? As if it wanted fixing.

Grasping the unreachable.
Is like learning the unteachable.
We wake up in the morning just to face another day.
Asking ourselves if this where we really want to stay.
Tomorrow's here to spead it's fear.
As yesterday must dissappear.
And inbetween we paint a scene.
Asking God, what does it mean.
A lesson learned without a book.
Requiring only that you look.
At moutains that rise up above.
The clouds that cover up God's love.
With open heart and open mind.
The love of truth is what you'll find.
This is not what you'll learn in college.
It's an ethereal sence of graceful knowledge.

For you also
will be judged
for loving
the unlovable
for hating
the unhateable
for teaching
the unteachable
for wanting
the unwantable
for desiring
the undesirable
in someone elses eyes.
It's your life. Live it the way you want.
Who cares what people think.

this place is a construction zone
under repair
and building new things
fixing the broken,
and creating new things that will also break
the whines of saws
drumming of hammers
far from rhythmatic.
the beats are too disjointed.
tearing down walls,
replacing them with invisible boundaries.
and the bricks and foundations lain
to build knowledge upon
crumbling beneathe your glare,
your chalky fingertips
drowning out the pleas
are the yells from the unteachable
the monsters of the playground,
grown to roam hallways.
those who yawn,
as irritating as those who crane.
the trade off.
hours, days, weeks, years of my life
for a piece of paper,
and dreams that will soon break,
and they cant be as easily fixed
