There's worse things we
could be than being
color opposed.
Educated without
intelligence.
Beautiful and alone
The world without
a trophy case.
Or trophy case
without the world
in it
or a god to spin it.
To appear you have
it altogether,
while self is
unraveling.
There's worst things
than someone
superficially
loving you
and afraid
your dirt won't stay on you
after they've hugged you
There's those things
many seldom see
through...
Bigger problems
we must solve
If we've been commanded to
love everyone
as we love ourselves
we're loving one another wrong

So much of being a Christian
is insecurity.
walking on water.
hardship.
Hardship from breaking
shells of society's embrace.
Walking on water
by our faith.
Insecurity in wealth
as well as going out on a limb.
So much of being a Christian
takes perseverance.
requires determination.
is being different.
Is being different from others
who love superficially.
Requires determination in direction
and determination in removing pride.
Takes perseverance through trials
as well as in ourselves--preserving the true us.
Being a Christian takes so much of me
I will be determined to bear fruit on me.

FLIRTATION
a pretext
for
the glamorous
renaissance
across
the core
of romantic love
swathed in
the symbolic
changing
&swaggering
in a suggestive
state
emblematic
of the
vanity
so so
essential
&
appropriate
to the occasion
beauty-obsessed
assessed
& filtered
adolescence
so
superficially
beautiful
looking fo
a glimpse
of the
reassurance
&
the spectacular
in profile
to be paraded
in an
appearance
so soft
gentle
&soothing
aspiring towards
desire
& promise
covered with
ornamental
displays
of perfection
a
focus on
& aimed at
the observer
at will

I am not a man who loves superficially
When I eat a poem
I peel it skinless with my teeth
Bite and suck the juicy pulp
Lick the seed white before planting it again
I am the lion eating its meat
Don't ask me to gloat on dross
To secure the favor of popularity
Poetry is a sacred gift
Upon my altar it is a sacrifice of totality.
Melt, melt, melt into it
Ice into the ocean blue
Light into sky
Love into you
And let us sip and feast on words together.

Just what is race?
What does it mean?
By book
A group of common ancestry
Superficially diverged
By only what is seen
Will differences
Not be mended
In future
Will there be a race for tomorrow
One race comprising all
A world that is blended
R ace for tomorrow
A nger dissipated
C olor erased
E volved thinking
F airness for all
O ne family of man
R ivalry negated
T errorism ended
O rder restored
M alice allayed
O utcry ceased
R eady to love
R ecipe for joy
O thers accepted
W orld peace

I chose to love
Embraced bitter sweet love
My mind's patched
My heart's banded up
Yet it heals to be fibrosed
To never beat like before
All a consequence of loving
Loving has never been more difficult
But do I still will to love
You are damn right , I do
Cos it's my way out of a dystopian life
Love's hurts are like butter to bread compared to my dystopian woes
Finding love was always a daydream until I grew wings and escaped back to reality
You don't know how many times I died inside in loneliness
You can't fathom my heavy burdens
I have appeared all fresh superficially but deep down I dessicated multi-ply
Love was my savior, my guarding grace
