HOW CAN YOU LOVE A STRANGER-HOW CAN YOU LOVE A STRANGER-
O’ how can you love a stranger?
When a stranger, you DON’T KNOW;
The Lord watches over the foreigner;
Sustains the fatherless and the widow;
Administer true justice;
Show mercy and compassion to one another;
Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless;
WE ARE ALL STRANGERS.
THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME.
OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN

I'm Still Here
After everything—
the childhood scars,
the broken promises,
the violence I survived,
the children I raised,
the love I gave that was never returned—
I’m still here.
You don’t know what it costs someone like me to keep showing up in a world like this.
To love when I’ve been hurt.
To hope when I’ve been forgotten.
To rise when I’ve been left behind.
No, I...

melted chocolate.
I rather enjoy
the taste of
pain.

Midnight InkIn the quiet of the night,
a whisper moves.
A spark lights up—
soft, sudden…
like a muse breathing fire
into the dark.
The day has faded.
Only shadows now.
And the wind
takes its flight.
Somewhere,
a soft orange glow—
a place where hidden feelings go.
Twilight sits there, still and slow.
Numb…
but aching to be known.
Above,
in star-filled skies,
an attic waits
with a long, quiet sigh.
And a poet—
hand...

The Mistreatment of PensThe pen is mightier than the sword
The pen is the copyist of every word
Just don’t combine “pen is” as a paper headline once did report
And it might be mightier because it seeks pleasure and not war
Freedom, intelligence, creativity, determination and diligence
All found in the written sentence
Some say the pen husk plastic is a polluter
I contend...

Presences as suchRoses that are naturally growing in the breeze
As such, their dancing presenting pride of silence
Needing not for any comments on their success
Nor for scoring much of the contrived bliss
Presences are irrelevant to any third parties
All them are arranged such as thee and mine
Irrelevance to conditions such as poor or rich...
