silken one
a sky steeped
fetch yourself through rivers
of alleys
spires where angels kneel

fits of elation
tremble on your head
a steady remainder
of the time you were dead

I saw the happiness you
hung
like sunlight beams
for evening dance

you lay your coolness
upon my brow
the heat and thrill
a shadow chill
a curtsy bow

a black and white
recital stream
that whispers dark
a sacred dream

Excuse me
for interrupting
I'm just passing through
through the membrane
of your brain
just a thought, thinking of
passing through
like a memory
galloping into view

take me now

rein me in
and I'm yours or
leave me alone
as if I never was
a war child without a home

Nourish me with distance.
Blind me with your light.
Dance me from your insight
or take from me a brilliant bite.

I was visiting
a Central library once
a young gal was going around the library
in circles....
I volunteered to help her
in case she was struggling
for something special
and this is what she said to me.

'''Sir my mom told me
to go around
to a library to see,
how many guys come looking for me,
as they would think,
I'm as knowledgeable
as the librarian
and would propose to marry me ...''

Sir will you now help me?
What to marry thee!

when he was called back Home I hated You
for stealing such a treasure from my world
I screamed at You and begged it be untrue
anathema I, to the heavens, hurled

ashamed, I ask now that You will forgive
my petty, childish, human ignorance
in questioning the reason, Your own motive
in making me abide within his absence

for since assured acceptance has begun
I fully understand I should not whine
because deep down I know he was Your son
long before he ever came as mine
