two poems

"A New Song"

There are so many ways light gives light,
To the day. To the love God imparts,
Unto all people, to the hearts,
That he shapes with clay,
Forever more there is no weight,
Over time, timeless vertigo, her song donning lampstands,
Vine of the spine relieved,
Into a brand new expression, an endless exultation,
A heart leaps into the air, right out, spinning,
Lands right beside me and fills me up with honey,
And we dwell placidly inside each other, the love, the heart,
With loving, tender care, heartfelt prayer,
Right from up there, horizons,
Making eternity beat on with wind chimes.

"The Time it Takes to Say Us"

How many times will we
pass by in our slender ways
the will of each other,
the heart of each other's shape,
in the chocolate boxes that bring perfect shape,
and the apartments that bring life so great,
living together in love as soulmates,
how long will it take for you to say okay?
Okay, okay, alas, 'tis me,
that is the way you would like me to believe,
but are you always okay
with the things that you breathe?
And I breathe in you and you breathe in me.
And we breathe in love and peace.

“God’s Way of Love”     From the depths of the ocean, To the Son’s most wild wave, I love her completely, totally, For all shini...
