Wisdom Instructing

Fret not of the evildoers,
Jealous for their iniquity;
Envy not of the pursuers,
They have no credibility.

For they will soon fade like the grass,
And shrivel up as the green herb;
Judgment upon every trespass,
That has contradicted God’s...

Keys to a better life

Keys to a better life
How great our need today to use correct judgement
To know the things that are true,
To know which things have greater importance,
To know which things we must do!
ToLove what is good;
To Hate what is bad.
To Make our...

The Voice

There is a voice inside of you
that whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
or wise man can decide
what's right for you - just listen to
the voice that speaks...

Gone too soon

Gone to soon,
Taken to the heavens,
You were filled knowledge, wisdom, love and compassion,
Our hearts were broken when you left,
Sadly our worlds have become quite bereft,
You took care of those in need,
You gave to the needy with no...

My father's slippers.

My father's slippers.

My father had a pair of slippers
which he used at home.
Whole day they were busy,
I found them very crazy.

I heard their sounds,
when they striked against the heels of my father.
I envisioned my appraoching bother.

Baby's strange arrival.

She coos

With that vacant look

Infants sport.

Oblivious except for

The sense of welfare

In parents' Aroma

And chuckles.



As if remembering

Another world of

Nine months

Of juices, lullabies

Heartbeat.

The...

El no es mío.

Yo soy suya, pero él no es mío.
Mi corazón está entre sus manos,
pero el suyo no me pertenece.
Mis poesías llevan su nombre,
mientras que sus escritos son para alguien más. Mi alma lo busca.
Su alma me rechaza.
Le pertenezco...

Fly swatter

I fell into the enemies trap

Wrong advice I knew was given
And yet I still chose to listen and take action

Then a pastors message on immorality
But on this I chose not to take action

Down the fly trap is where I went
The enemies...

Whatever the form,
it’s always me, on

a quest
to find
the perfect way
to wish you well…

to punch your arm
to squeeze you tight
to talk til moments move from day to night…

A well,

Do you long for getting along

As the sun sets and the land gets quiet we gently take each other's hand and the sky fills with colors and the hills roll like a warm lasting hug. The theme in the air is so neutral in order to reflect...
