True beauty never changes 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

True beauty, never changes

Only in our experience that we observe, we may realize

The Sufi’s describe this to see “the face of God“

When the mind can filter and allow us to recognize

It’s one thing to view a beautiful sunset over the ocean

And another to look upon someone you love

One by grace from God

One a relationship as a hand fits into a glove

Are they gifts? 

Or is one a dance?

A recognition?

A happenstance?

Beauty can be found almost anywhere

For those who are blessed to see

Even in the mind of the blind

If you touch, you can feel, if you hear than you too, will be!

You might ask how I come to know this

What doctrine, what Mystic, what Sage do I believe?

I only know in my own experience

When I give of myself I will receive

I am not at the center of the universe

I can see the beauty in helping others in need

The Centurion Longanus, who stuck the spear into Jesus on the cross

Had his sight restored as he watched the Christ bleed

I’ll prove every day that you can trust me

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I once told you

That I didn’t know if I could complete you

But what I didn’t say

Was even more true

I would never stop trying

That is if we agree

To make something out of it

I’ll prove every day you can trust me

I know these thoughts seem impulsive

But these words, I must speak

I feel a strong connection

As this is what I seek

I luv the way you express yourself

When discouraged you say you were mortified

When happy you light up like you have been electrified

Just a few of the reasons for my attraction

You’ve read my poems so you must be aware

I’m sending you these messages

Because I truly do care

Only takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I’m not sure just where I am heading

But I am certain I know where I’ve been

Only takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail

To know where and when I begin

Mama told me yeah she told me

About Sunday school and sin

Sometimes it’s best to know how to lose

Before you think you know how to win

Can’t say I’ve always done the right thing

But I can say I know I have tried

Better to be honest and truthful

Then to lie when you confide

I don’t expect much from the world anymore

But I do expect more from me

I believe in self sacrifice

But I also believe in reciprocity

Only takes two shakes of a Lamb‘s tail

My mama used to say to me

But now I am on my own

And I will see what I will see

I believe in having a strong moral character

One to navigate the moral tide

Without such a compass

the soul is likely to hide

If you see what I can see 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Love is patient

Love is kind

Love is forgiving

Love is blind

I want to see the sorrow behind your smile

I want to understand your motivations

The reason for the silence 

The feeling of your sensations

I want to be the remedy

The medicine that can heal

I want to bring you tears of joy and happiness

I want to make you feel

I ask for nothing in return

As for this, I do not know why

There is something deep inside of me

That makes me want to try

You may call it empathy

This connection I feel between us

It is not completely selfless

Because, because, because, because 

Maybe your smile was Cupid‘s arrow

Maybe it’s not meant to be

You wouldn’t blame me for trying

If you see what I can see

The secret of my affection 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I don’t make any assumptions

I’m accepting of who you are

The beauty of this arrangement

That I am closer to you and not that far

I believe in you

This girls got something

It just doesn’t fade

She’s gotten moxie

She’s got it in spades

The secret of my affection

Scarcity makes it more valuable

This currency of our emotions

This investment of the soul’s capital

The secret of my affection

Is a gift of heart and not a trade

I give it willingly

It is not something made

The secret of my affection

Doeth not have any agenda

Only to communicate how I feel

Follow your heart and do what it tells you

It’s up to you on how you will deal

Converging destiny’s that may collide

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

A ray of sunlight dances on your head

In through the blinds a beam of light splits the night

As you lay upon your bed

The fragrance of your hair

The touch of your skin

Would almost guarantee

The defiance of a sin

I’m not sure the ways of this world

The nature of the universe in which we live

Over and over I wrestle with God

This inspiration I have that directs me to give

We travel on a similar path

Converging destiny’s that may collide

Is this why we gravitate towards each other?

Just how will we decide? How will we confide?

You may think we are too different

But this is not what I see

Those superficial differences are a distraction

Somehow I deeply feel you emotionally

You once told me I’m a man

And all that I want is to have you physically

If I told you something different

Than a liar I would be?

Prove you wrong, Prove you right

We shall have to see

I think maybe this choice

Is only decided by we

Thank you for the honesty

A clearer path ahead

I’m reminded you still don’t really know me

On this road that I tread

In the right moment

In the right time

You will know how you feel

If you look you will find

You ask if I’m heading into heartache?

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

You ask if I’m heading into heartache?

You may be partially right about me

But if you look even deeper

Then maybe you will better see

I’m well aware of my disposition

I have a hedge on this so called “flaw”

The intelligence to navigate wisely

Is the truth of this universal law

I choose who I love

Don’t tell me how to feel

My way is my way

I use this way to heal

It’s not about me

The book tells us how to treat other people

If only we embrace?

Our world under the steeple

When idealism meets realism

How will you decide?

Trust in your pragmatism?

How will you resolve your pride?

Despite what you think of me

My mind will always tinker

I live by simple rules

Despite being a deep thinker

When idealism meets realism

Just where does the truth lie?

Somewhere in the in between

We may consider it a tie

Eudemonía

Aristotle would claim

Is responsible for our well-being

But I just call out her name

I don’t know what the future holds

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I don’t know what the future holds

I leave it in Gods hands

The people I meet and care about

I pray they are in his plans

I pray that I may flourish

As an instrument of the good

I pray for my family and loved ones

As I hope this is understood

I live freely, I love deeply

I want to empower and give no harm

I offer kindness and devotion

Some will say that this is my charm

I learn looking backwards

But I must always focus on today

I am thankful for my blessings

And this is what I say…

If you have called me darling

I know you know who you are

If this poem finds you

I thank my lucky star

The fact is I know that you like me

And you know that I like you

I’ve already seen into your heart

If only we can begin anew

I know you have reservations

You’ve told me this as well

Please know I am here if you want me

Also know I realize this will be a hard sell

I do not give up that easily

I can be as stubborn as you

Somehow the kindred spirits within us

May come to share this view

As this is what I want to share 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

How can it be that I just want to know you?

How can it be that I just care?

You’d be mistaken if you think I don’t really notice you

As this is what I want to share

I’m not sure why I have this connection ?

The look or the smile on your face

The sound of your voice when you’re near me

The way you walk gives me pause at your Grace 

Truthfully, I sense a reservation 

I am not asking you to breach

I find you very attractive

I am hoping for a friendship we can reach 

Yes, I don’t know details about you

But from what I gather, I like what I see

An investment into your happiness

Respectfully means something to me 

I’d like to get to know you better

I’m not trying to change your life

Somehow, my world is more beautiful

And I’d really love to see you sometime

You always bring out in me

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

You came in to say hi, you bought lunch

And ask me about my day

I told you of my appreciation

From some moments that were not just stray

In those few minutes we spoke

It suddenly dawned on me

We choose how we see the world

Through our lens of receptivity

It’s up to us to find what is meaningful

There is wonder in our hearts desire

So maybe I saw in your face today

Another reason to aspire

Thank you for your smile

You’re always a pleasure to see

I respond to the positivity

You always bring out in me
