You. Poems

Dirty shoe steps

Your shoes are getting shabby
over time and the story that has been spun
Do you still remember the drawing paper and brush?
I painted the colors that were dark at the time
Then we drew together
In flowing, abstract strokes

Ahh, I remember so well
The field across from our classroom
15 years old in the drizzle
The first piece of cake you

Count 20

I'll run again at 20
If that's what you want
I can play in the rain on the asphalt
Without the soothing petrichor
If 20 minutes without your shadow ever existed
I'll cry my eyes out
Then laugh again
No longer able to use metaphors
In romantic stories
Sarcastic erases so much
Let's breathe a sigh of relief
We're no longer at the end of the

Letter to the girls in the same building

i was seven the day they knocked —
“can we play with the spanish girls?”
yaphia and tarita,
smiling like the sun outside our door.
mama laughed,
said “spanish girls?”
because yaphia’s father was puerto rican too.
and that was the start -
the start of everything.
we held each other like secrets -
first periods, first kisses, first heartbreaks,
all the firsts we whispered into

A Beacon of Warmth

A force of nature, with a heart so grand,
She walked this earth, a light in the land.
Our Auntie Dana, fierce and free,
Like the hammerhead shark she loved to see.

She navigated life's deepest, darkest seas,
Finding solace and strength on her bended knees.
In the Bible, her compass, she found her way,
Guiding her through each and everyday.

For her

You and I

In the realm of love, where hearts entwine,
You and I, my love, reign supreme, divine.
Like Roshani and Siddharth, our love will shine,
A bond so strong, a love that's truly sublime.

We're the King and Queen of Hearts, a love so true,
Our hearts beating as one, our love forever new.
Like Romeo and Juliet, our love will stand

You Get What You Pay For

It’s a truism that you get what you pay for
Or vote for or ultimately what you deserve…
But when we pay illegal immigrants
To stay in five star hotels with pre-paid debit cards
And the homeless to just hang out with food stamps,
Cash handouts and Obama phones
What do we expect will happen
But for the problem to grow! 
And

I will seek you God

I will seek you even in my darkness
Cause that way I won't be totally lost
Bit by bit I'll find my way
And with time I'll be by your side

I will sit in your refuge
And wait as long as it takes
Cause I've seen your works
And each is beautiful

I will sing your hymns
Cause it soothes the soul
As I

LOVE FORGIVE

Love forgive and let go of all the negative feelings, they weight on life and give us no rest. 
Love forgive, and feel good, do not carry heavy thoughts in your heart for they are no good.  
Love forgive, let it go, do not let it keep you in a bad mood. 
Love forgive

Why Didn't You Love Me?

Why didn’t you love me?

Can you remember? Hmm. You can’t
My poor fate hoped a woman. Yeah

She is a top. Top lady. I waited. In a pub
Never came. Hmm. Passed the years

I became a hard alcoholic single man
Loved this amazing linguistic woman

I needed for love and language teacher
Hmm. Never came. My honest heart is in pain

I

Let Me Love You

Let me love you

Only a second, what I need 
Only a second in our lives

Only a heartbeat of you
I hear it. Your love is true

Give me this moment
Just this. Your touching

My heart is beating the last
Lightning. I breathed my last

I loved you
This moment
Was
All my life

Thank
You

Loved
You

Blue

I never really noticed your blue;
hidden under transparent shields
screaming to be noticed... or something.

Just came across as angry or sad,
wanting to forget some bad...
but not blue, never that.

Not the kind to bind a knot;
throw their lot in with chance's whim
to test if fate says sink or swim

and lose...

you, only

eternal- under the scope of your breath.
do you think if the world falls apart, your touch would falter between my heaving?

 all i want, all i need,
is to get lost in your words,
or to get lost even in the semblance of your shadow,
in hopes to feel the twinkle in your eyes

you’re the tinge of orange

I Am Loving

I am loving

How?
I can’t

Beileving
In you

Teach
Me

Love
You

Our Union Is On Quaky Ground

Our relationship is on shaky ground
We don't kiss each other like before
We don't say hello and goodbye anymore
We give each other the runaround
For the grace of God
We need to sit down to talk things over
We need the help of the Lord
Countless serious promises were made
That we must keep, cherish and honor
We must always sleep in

I Regret What I Did

I regret what I did

I made a mistake. Yes. I want to confess
I disturbed you. I am so sorry. You created

I just needed to be honest. To your life
Say everything about my fate. To your life

And I needed to work. To you. With you.
Hmm. I loved an intellectual woman. Far love

I wish you. Only you.
