About Me
Life With Your Love
And what do I write for, what do I live for, without you?
The sun, at least, has this world to awake
But, to me, the day is already through
And I am dark before the night does break.
Without you, what else on this page fill?
Talk of the Spring bringing the bird’s song?
I should because our love’s rebirth does fulfill
And the summer will come before long.
You are why I even write these lines at all
Without you, no use for this blank page
The loftiest lines only your beauty can call
And read here our love would never age.
This is why I use this space for my feelings to show
To preserve the one I could never live without
Else my sorrow not worth here to know
Your love is what my life is all about.

Always Embraced
Here I am with this laptop instead of a pen or quill
And its keyboard for its strokes impressed here
But this should not be a barrier to a poet’s skill
Another medium for our art to appear.
But my theme will remain the same
Despite what means I use it to convey
My love for you will, instead, appear in this frame
But beyond here I wish in your heart stay.
A new way to express what is old
The love I have that is still new
No matter the means, this still told
How much I am attracted to you.
Here I can capture what I feel
No manuscript that can be misplaced
And Time these words can’t steal
Love in these lines always embraced.
Young Spirit
Young spirit, I will let you to your life go
You have too much to offer
And my world could never know
Let you share yours with another.
But you know this, I have learned
Still, I see you stay
Why such beauty have I earned
When you could have gone your way?
Another teenage infatuation
That is all this must be
Another must know your affection
It was never meant for me.
But, young spirit, your beauty here confide
I am glad that our paths did meet
A diversion from my sadness you did provide
Young spirit, you are that sweet.
Even Heaven Teach
Don’t think Time has separated you from me
Or that distance can do the same thing
That is saying love is never meant to be
And never to me such fulfillment does bring.
This Earth is only Heaven’s proving ground
To see if our passion to its home elevate
Then no more proof than our love found
I only wish for you it could only wait.
When you were here found paradise
Nowhere else needed to be
All I needed to do is look into your eyes
And you were the angel brought to me.
So, you may be beyond Time’s measure
And beyond this Earth’s reach
But will always be its greatest treasure
And your beauty’s reign even Heaven teach.
No Enemy can Break our Heart (Inspired by Tijah Hadijah Ahmmed)
That we are one in this world we should already know
And should not take anything to prove
But that it does our vulnerability show
And what unseen our humanity will move.
And to combat this another invisible force
The faith for our kind to persevere
And that we should survive it enforce
Learning that for each other are we here.
This battle is now waged and will overcome
For faith is the stronger of the two
And to what may hurt us will not succumb
But with the belief in our lives pull through.
Then go forward with this lesson learned
That all of us on this earth are a part
And what divides us our spirit spurned
There is no enemy that can break our heart.
(Tijah asked me to write a poem addressing the Coronavirus outbreak.)
My Heart Grown
I thought that you were a lost sun
Lost in the illumination of the cosmos
But I realized, for me, you were the one
And the universe was your host.
I don’t think you were ever far away
Maybe my paranoia got the best of me
Love like yours is meant to stay
And yours is always there for me.
But I gave up believing you were gone
When you were always there
Sometimes what we believe is wrong
If from our lives love scare.
But your heart, for me, was always mine
This should have always known
This world could never keep one as fine
When, from your heart, my love grown.
Delusion
Where is my beer? Oh, over there next to me?
I guess I got lost in thought
Wait, this Corona going down satisfyingly
So, I can say this why I forgot.
I am glad I am so comfortably numb
Let the discerners know these lines’ source
But, writing here about one to whom I succumb
Love’s passion poetry can best enforce.
Wait, let me have another Corona’s sip
So much better tasting with some lime
Yet, I must let the one I care for slip
At least I can preserve her in this rhyme.
I must go, I will be quick, sip some beer
So, I can drink enough to leave it all behind
And drink another cause she’s not here
Maybe in one more drink her love will find.
There is Nothing More
I am learning what it is to live without love
Each day is empty and am getting numb
To pine over my loss nothing will prove
Still, to darkness, again, succumb.
Shouldn’t each day erase your memory?
Doesn’t Time put its distance in the way?
But not in the dreams where you come to me
And in their most beautiful climes we lay.
And in the notes of birds who sing your songs
To the gentle breeze that calls out your name
To the stars where our romance always belongs
To the ocean’s waves your beauty did tame.
And in the rose’s brilliance your own did shine
To the trees that bowed before our delight
To each morning that promised you’d be mine
With every breath I draw you’ll be in sight.
So, why should I get used to losing you?
What else, here, would show something more?
Nothing, for there is one thing true
Life cannot go on without the one you adore.
Province of Love
Let not Earth separate what Heaven can keep together
Or time here is far too brief
Why not look to where love lasts forever?
And then know there is a place past grief.
Our lives here are but candles but too quickly burn
And then must find another light
Once the last embers die for you will yearn
There must be another place your beauty alight.
And our love is like the brightest star
That while here beckons from above
So, that leaving here you will never be far
The universe is the province of love.
Your Love Frees
You are what makes the sun rise and set right
And this world can continue its journey
They must obey what you bring to light
That your love they must first see.
You are the chords behind what birds sing
And so, they can continue their songs
For their melody from your spirit bring
And to their song your beauty belongs.
You are what makes the moon shine
So, the stars can their accompaniment play
Showing Heaven that, here, you are mine
And that it only belongs where you stay.
You are why dreams are so desired
For that is where your beauty will see
For when from this world's trials tired
Dreams from this world your love sets free.
Northern Girl
I met this Northern girl but in her felt no cold
I felt warm around her
I only wanted her hand to hold
So, our love could stir.
I think I will text her tonight
Right now, I am in the mood
To shake away what is right
So, in the morning don’t have to brood.
Then, scared if this Northern woman doesn’t reply
But when I hear back from her, I learn
Why no climate can from her heart pry
That love that, in my heart, burn.

In These Lines Know
Here is where I can express my love for you
For in this world what I feel must hide
At least in these lines my love will prove
And my passion’s rule will abide.
Here I can hold your hand and your lips kiss
We can lay by the river’s edge in love’s embrace
While outside this rhyme my dreams miss
You live best here, outside an empty place.
In these lines we can reach the heights of ecstasy
Like a Rose’s beauty nurtured by the sun
Nothing to hold back our passion's rhapsody
These lines leave here and to your heart run.
If only this verse you, one day, will read
Until then this is where my love for you best show
Here is where my desire’s longing best heed
And, if not in your arms, at least in these lines know.
It is You
There is someone here that I find so fine
I wonder does she know how I feel?
Can I ask her will she be my Valentine?
Are these words here enough to make it real?
But it would be so hard my feelings to let her know
So, maybe it is better I leave them longing here
Then if I see her my affection would have to show
Oh, to see her close my reservations disappear.
I wonder if she reads this she knows who she is?
I have written so many romantic rhymes before
She certainly could find out with a kiss
Then the mystery here, in her arms, no more.
Shall I here, in these lines, my love confess?
So I prove how the romance painted here true?
But more satisfying in person our love undress
Then leave these lines and simply say it’s you.

You Will be My Lover
I am trying my best but can’t forget you
Because you are the sun calling me
And past the clouds of my loneliness shine through
But I still can’t let it be.
This, to myself, is what I always say
And sometimes I may succeed
Then through a Blue Jay’s notes you come my way
And I realize your melody in my life I need.
But, then again, I realize we are worlds apart
And these thoughts chase out of my mind
Then you become the wind caressing my heart
Nothing more soothing on this earth find.
It seems harder to forget you the more I try
For love to reason will never surrender
Then the night comes and you are the moon on high
Whispering, in the end, you will be my lover.
Sonnet 346 (Your Love did Meet)
Shall I still mourn the loss my heat does know
Like days that miss the notes that birds did sing?
Or like the Spring your love in my heart grow
And keep the warmth that once to me did bring.
Shall I forget the times your beauty knew
Like that sweet rose the cold its petals shed?
Or like the sun your essence still shine through
And no day dark but bright where your love led.
Shall I go on but grateful for your love
Like summers known before the winter's cold?
For what we shared my heart will always move
Love’s summer in my life will always hold.
And, so, shall I believe my world complete?
It must be so, for here your love did meet.
More Swiftly your Fall
Remember the days when "Love is All You Need"?
Those sit ins on the Boston Common looking for a better way?
From our concern for humanity we succumbed to greed
So, again, The role of the revolutionary we have to play.
From a nation united to one divided we have become
And the winds of a new civil war are brewing
From this battle no one can hide and no one run
We must understand that history is now calling.
And the architects of our constitution would be dismayed
For from tyranny our republic was born
And from the blood of our patriots our nation was made
From my own hands I will not see my nation torn.
Read this as a call for what sacrifices made preserve
And for all who stand in the way must be swept aside
For a greater calling we all must serve
For the future of our nation we must take a side.
Mr. President, I know when you lose you will call it unfair
And those millions of supporters will answer your call
But I am letting you know we will also be there
And as swiftly your rise, more swiftly your fall.
Never Far
That I knew your love should carry me through
The happiness I felt should always stay
At least I can say your love in my life once grew
And its roots still grow though you’re away.
My life is richer because you were here
And what I lost cannot compare
Love lost still admits it was here
And lost does not mean any less fair.
What we had Time can never erase
Though it took you away from me
For everywhere I look see your face
And from Time’s hold always free.
So, what we shared will always grow
It doesn’t matter where you are
Love like yours I will always know
From my heart you will never be far.
Measure of Love
Doesn’t the morning follow the night?
So should the darkness seem so deep?
For when I leave, you, again, will be in sight
So the darkness, here, my sorrow cannot keep.
Should the morning take you from my dreams?
So the time with you, in them, mislead?
I await that final morn when your aspect gleams
To the place of peace your love has always led.
Should this world keep you away from me?
And so only your absence will know?
No, one day from its hold be free
Love, planted here, in our final home will grow.
And shouldn't I value what you left behind?
Those memories that brought me such pleasure?
For I can say that here, at least, your love did find
And Heaven will only continue love’s measure.
My Heart Only Longs
Her hair flowed like a celestial stairway to the sun
Beckoning me follow its waves to where angels go
But I did not need to climb for she was the only one
And caressing her hair the only pleasure I needed to know.
And the birds surrounded us and chimed in delight
By the lake where we lay and the wind by our side
Then gazing into her eyes my heart took flight
To where paradise awaits the passion of love's tide.
Her hair, flowing, to show me on Earth such ecstasy
No need far any other heavenly realm to appear
For nothing as divine as when she lay next to me
That angels looked down enviously for Heaven was here,
And suddenly she spoke only in love's sweet rhyme
“My dear in all this Earth my heart belongs to you”
Caressing her hair so softly I knew she was mine
And the birds sang such melodies to prove this true,
But, this place could not keep this angel away
And the birds could not keep her in their songs
To where Heaven lives she was meant to stay
And her hair I caressed now my heart only longs.
No One Else
There is no one else I care to love
I had one to show that it’s true
After you, nothing left to prove
The only love here I found in you.
What are the rest of my days for?
To go on without what makes them real?
I will always look for something more
For that one where love can feel.
But, this I am left with now you are gone
A life, without you, no purpose knows
In your arms, instead, should belong
This is where my happiness grows.
There is no one else to take your place
Why, then, am I left without you here?
Except another empty day to face
Emptier each day you don’t appear.
Life but a Dream
I dreamt about you last night
Again, what this world denies dreams make true
Showing that this place never out of your sight
And what it hides in another realm find you.
And this dream stirred me to reach you here
When you answered that dream became real
So, the border between us should not fear
For the permanency of our love reveal.
And life is but a dream the bard does tell
So, your beauty both realms transcend
For when your love in my heart does dwell
Our passion to Heaven’s home will send.
After you replied I knew dreams understand
I had to call you to complete the connection
For our love has made its stand
That no place can deny our affection.
So, tonight, I hope you come one more time
We can, from here, finally leave it all behind
For life’s dream can still live in this rhyme
And our love in Heaven’s home forever find.
Not the One
I won’t be able to wait for your love
You are too young for me
This world can only prove
We weren’t to be.
But you are here I cannot deny
But you will find another’s arms
For the lucky one by your side lie
I am not the one for your charms.
I know I can see your beauty
And how much it will grow
But it is not meant for me
It is for another to know.
Your future is bright, that is true
My last embers are dying
You hold the last before I am through
Sad, to leave while your life beginning.
But you know where I must go
To my true love who calls
And this you so tenderly know
While another for your beauty falls.
Your Love All I Need
There is only one person this verse belongs to
Or an empty page this would be
These simple lines are dedicated to you
And your beauty through them the world will see.
You are the reason poets, their lofty lines, write
Why the artists, their canvas, with beauty, fill
Why the dreamers long for the starry night
To find the source of all, here, wonderful.
You are the reason my dreams are so sweet
For in them our love does still passionately live
And why the morning without you incomplete
So, I fill in these lines so more life to you can give.
You are the reason an emperor seeks the throne
Why the mariner seeks no greater treasure
For without your love his Kingdom alone
Without it the mariner no wealth could measure.
So, I write these humble lines only for your love
And will leave to others if, in this, they succeed
If nothing else, at least they will here prove
Your love on this Earth all I ever did need.
Living World
I walked passed a glittering stone one day
Attracted to it, I picked it up and held it in my hand
Away from the light the glitter went away
My stone was only a jewel if under the sun stand.
And so, I held it in the sun's direction
So, this plain stone a jewel could be
Perhaps this is like our affection
Only when the light is right our love can see.
And then I laid this store back onto the ground
So, when its light was right, attract other passersby
The sun must have been kind when this stone I found
Or else another plain stone I would have walked on by.
And is not love what we find when the sun shine?
Or like that stone, nothing special will appear?
It is only in this living world you can be mine
And under its sun's light our love found here.
Love Need Not Learn
I saw you again and could see it in your eyes
There is something beyond the bounds of propriety
What world will it be to have the one I prize?
I have to take the one where you're next to me.
Young spirit, you have so much, yet, to live
My spark is flickering onto its last light
You have so much love to give
Your day is beginning, mine headed to the night.
But, I am flattered by your affection
I’d be lying that mine will not return
Love brought you in my direction
And what is right love need not learn.
I Stared at the Sky
I stared at the sky last night
Thought that among the stars would find you
But such beauty was nowhere in Heaven’s sight
And despite the stars’ brilliance, only darkness knew.
Today, the first day, what will this new year bring?
Despite the world’s riches, missing its greatest treasure
And with each passing day still nothing
For this world, to me, by love its worth measure.
But isn't that your spirit That the bushes move?
Isn’t that your voice the birds bring to their song?
What makes me continue only your love prove
So that, one day, reunited with me belong.
Isn’t that your spirit that fills the air?
That gives the rose its beauty?
For past your love nothing more fair
Or more beautiful than when you're with me.
