. . .TOO MUCH FOR MY INFANT HEART

Your beauty strikes my heart

My heart beat a rhythm of love

My mouth sings a beautiful song of hope

My pen is dancing to a beautiful

Poem of love.

The color of your skin

Paints a clear picture of my heart desire,

Your charming smile

Put my soul at ease.

The sparkles in your eyes

Sets my heart’s flame of love ablaze

The coolness of your character

Submit my infant heart to love

The softness of your hands

Caresses me to sleep.

Your breath of kindness

Filled the vacuum of my heart

Like it’s going to burst it

The beauty of your face

Blur my innocent eyes

It put me in a trance

My heart vibrates within me

The fullness of your love

Shake my world

Like the beauty of you

Is too much for my infant heart.

"Songs of My Heart" ( from the collection 'Graceland, my graceland' )

SONGS OF MY HEART

Softly,

            My heart beats a rhythm of love.

Slowly,

            My heart sings a virgin song of hope.

Steadily,

            My heart paints a beautiful image of you.

And gently,

            A beautiful poem of love flows out of me.

"Wax of Faith" -from the collection 'Graceland, my graceland.'

WAX OF FAITH

Lord I pray

Tame my wandering heart

Lest I go astray

Preserve me

Let not this scorching sun of tribulation

Melts my heart of faith

This world is a market of pain

But always I say

Your heavenly treasure is enough gain

The faithless

Mock my faith

They say I am deranged

Lord I pray

Preserve me

Preserve my wax of faith

Lest I melt away

Under this scorching sun of mockery.

"Far But Close" -from the collection 'Graceland, my graceland.'

FAR BUT CLOSE

Can’t deny I have a heart

‘Cause always I hear its beat

Can’t say I have no God

‘Cause always I hear Him speak

Through His work

Through the mountain’s peak

That’s too great for man to make

Can’t deny I have a God

‘Cause always I touch the sands of the sea

Its quantity is too much for man to create

Can’t deny my uncreated creator is alive

‘Cause always I breathe

The air-

The breath of God.

"GENTLE DOVE OF PEACE" - from the collection 'Graceland, my graceland'

GENTLE DOVE OF PEACE

Gentle dove of peace

Hovering far above

Fly low and near

Dry our flowing sweats.

Gentle dove of peace

Fly low and near

Mend our broken trust

End our ragging war.

We have one heart

And a single death to claim it,

Why must we fight

When we can give truce a chance?

Gentle dove of peace

Hovering far above

Fly low and near

Dry our flowing sweats

With breeze of your wings.

Gentle dove of peace,

No more floras-

No more roses in the garden of our love.

No more harmony-

No more the uniform beauty of trust.

Gentle dove of peace

Hovering far above

Fly low and near

Patch in the nest of our hearts

Mend our broken trust

Tame our wandering love.

Gentle dove of peace

Fly low and near

We shouldn’t be far apart

Like sun and sand.
