I love you.

I love you.
You’re the joy in my heart,
The sparkle in my eye,
The light in my life.

I love you.
You’re the wind to my wings,
The steps to my dances,
The voice to my songs.

I love you.
You’re the reason for breathing,
The purpose for thriving,
The cause for living.

I love you.
You’re the most caring human being,
The very generous and gentle,
The loveliest of them all.

Face of the Other

Clothed in just a piece of cotton

Sitting by the side walk

Head bowed and bags beside her

A tissue placed in front with coins

Her fingernails filled with dirt

Strong odor in the air

Eyes filled with despair and longing

Something which did not reflect me at all

It was the face of hunger

Knowledge – My Enemy!

My thirst for the truth is ever so great
I’d spend hours turning every rock and stone
Each word is so very vital
Scamming through all the pages I can find
I search and I search and I search
No hour is too long or day too short
The need of knowing must be fulfilled
Memory can only hold so much yet I go on
Leaving behind what I find wasteful
I surge forward every moment seeking
My strength is my weapon
Deeper and deeper I dig for information
Necessity is it for my life to have some meaning
Facts and figures are my longing
I desire to know what others already
No compensation for less
Blood boiling as my head aches
My need to know grows greater every day
Realization that not all specifics are to my liking
Yet I charge forward in quest for better results
Hoping for something tasteful
Wanting to know needing to know
Knowledge - my enemy!

Being Beautiful

We all seek beauty in ourselves,
We look in the Mirror each Morning,
We perfect our clothing all day,
We search for compliments even at night.

We try to comprehend that we are as good-looking as our neighbor,
We watch and admire their dressing,
We compare and contrast in our minds,
We change our style to look even better than them.

We tell others, looks dont really matter,
We pretend that 1 hour dressing up today took just 1 minute,
We lie in the others face about the cost of expensive jewelry,
We struggle to act ordinary but dream of having a movie stars face.

We understand and know that not everyone is attractive,
We attempt always to find faults amongst others,
We remind ourselves that being beautiful is everything,
We forget, real beauty lies within ourselves.
