Sunset

You’re so far even when you’re near,

You are the sunset of my dreams

Come rain or sunshine:

I simply gaze towards the horizon

And there you are

Lurking between the clouds.

Unanswered Prayers

Lonely

Alone nights behind cold walls

Bended knees give rise

To unanswered prayers,

Supplicant poses;

Sentries patrol wearing Timbaland heels.

But that’s just my memory

Admonishing me

For forsaking thee:

When our love was young

When words were bond

When we thought to have all lengthy time at hand,

Nary did we think we would break

That this world was made

For us to roam wild and free

Free in the garden, my Eve,

Alas, stripped and booted in a quarrelsome state

Railroaded tenants we became with nothing

To hold except our faith,

Our paths cannot be made while again

Glued or taped amendments though

We seek another day, another time and place

To patch things up again.
