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...

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 th...

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 ang...

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 s...

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 min...

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 rh...

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 bel...

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, ...

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 wher...

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.
