Feedback is a pleasant thing. I get a lot of letters from unexpected people in unexpected places.

It Had to Come to Us This Way
It had to come to us this way.
Unexpected love.
It had to find us unprepared.
Unexpected love.
We did not know it had us picked.
When unexpected love,
Came to visit.
It had to come to us this way.
Unexpected love.
It had to find us unprepared.
Willing to accept,
How it crept upon us.
When all we felt was tried.
Staring in clear skies,
Sometimes for that 'one'.
That someone special to us to come.
And when it is done...
We become stunned.
It is familiar.
As if it begins where it 'had' begun!
It had to come to us this way.
Unexpected love.
Expecting it returned.
As it is to feed what is yearned.
Connecting two hearts burning!
When all we felt was tried,
Unexpected love...
Comes out of hiding!
It had to come to us this way.
If it had not...
We would find reasons,
To chase it away!
And that is why,
It had to come to us
This way...
Finding us in a receptive display,
And giving without thought to run.
Hoping love like this did come,
To stay!
It had to come to us this way,
Unexpected love...
Seldom drifts or fades!

Expect the unexpected
Expect the unexpected
I may give up trying
But not today that’s for sure
Expect the unexpected
I may lose my nerve
But not today that’s for sure
Expect the unexpected
I may cry loud
But not today that’s for sure
Expect the unexpected
I may end this game
But not today that’s for sure

Whatever That Disconnect Is
There is 'something' about honesty,
People unfamiliar with it can not accept.
Maybe it is the unexpected directness of it.
Or...
The coming into contact with it.
And the mind is telling that person...
What is seen done and heard,
Is not for them meant.
'There has to be more to it?
It's too...
Revealing.
Too...
Real.
Too...
Mysterious.'
There is 'something' about honesty,
People unfamiliar with it can not accept.
Maybe it is the unexpected directness of it.
But...
Whatever that disconnect is,
People should prioritize in the doing of their best...
To get to know what being honest means.

The Poem Comes Unexpected
THE POEM COMES UNEXPECTED
The Poem comes unexpected
When I have been waiting for it.
It writes itself
And then demands correction.
It is gone over and over again
Until it sounds right
It is read finally
As something complete
Its final line redeeming its first.
The Poem is what it
Here it is
Now.

Angst
enrico poses with a beautiful wife
and two kids as Kayang also sends a
photograph of
a family
they were old flames taking separate roads
on their new lives
it was really unexpected but in life
the unexpected always asserts itself
the next thing i know is another
angst
someone dies and someone grieves
secretly
for fear that the grief may hurt someone
that you
pretend loving
pretense is another fact of life
a stranger that stays which keeps everyone in the house
tiptoeing
an open door does not necessarily welcome you
someone wants to close it
but couldn't

Unexpected
UNEXPECTED
You came not in soft Spring, whose pregnant seed
wonder welcomes with its womb run riot.
You came not when warm Summer's gorging greed
plays havoc both with unstrained growth, strained diet.
You came not during Autumn when most feed
on energy soon spilled, asleep, stilled quiet.
You came on stage engaging Winter’s need -
'magmatude' emotion ocean guyot
spilling promised warmth, - life's wonder-bead...
to counter fears, advancing years’ disquiet.
Harmony, appearing unexpected,
witness bears to humankind perfected.

The Joy Of Taking Less
i must be a fool
parting more of what i have
and then given back
something so little
and sometimes
nothing in return
my wife says this is too
much and if i do not change
she might as well
leave me for good
people lack wisdom
it is basic
the more you give
more shall be given
it is not an immediate
grace
i know, it happens most
of the time
without my knowing
it,
God's grace in the most
unexpected places
the beggar that i face today
who knows
is God's angel.

I think then, when we started receiving the first of the user feedback, feedback from people that I had not specifically told about it, but had spread from friend to friend and then they were giving us feedback.

Mistakes can be good things, because it is an unexpected thing.
Unexpected Places
Sometimes people become their perceptions
Failing to see beyond their conceptions
Belittling others who do not fit their idea of perfection
Making perceived weaknesses in others, apparent.
A good reason to burst out of
Narrow, cerebral constrictions
To the largesse, ‘pump’ and pageantry
Of the heart’s constitution.
So others can grow a little, live a little
Finding strengths, so latent
In unexpected places.

The Poems Of The Wild Words And Unexpected Meanings
THE POEMS OF THE WILD WORDS AND UNEXPECTED MEANINGS
The poems of the wild words and the unexpected meanings
Escape me -
The surprises of each new line’s metaphors
Are far from my power-
A plodding literal single- mindedness
Informed by small irony
Is all I have.
Poems distant from mine and greater
Inhabit the dreaming worlds,
And I inferior
With lesser words
Persist in making my Mediocrity up.

From The Heart
From the inner places of the heart
love seeks a way to make a start;
at some unexpected time in one’s life
or when experiencing personal strife.
Love expresses itself in kindness and understanding
in a friendly smile of assurance without demanding.

With Amenities Unexpected
Catch me as if...
You have awaited,
For someone to deliver...
Reasons for your heart to beat.
And I will not disappoint,
With amenities unexpected.
Fresh is the air I supply.
With morning Sunrises,
To captivate your dancing eyes.
And with each Sunset...
You will know each one comes,
Created just for you.
I will be all that you need,
Want...
And kept to feel desired!
Catch me as if...
You have awaited,
For someone to deliver...
Reasons for your heart to beat.
And I will not disappoint,
With amenities unexpected.
