April Love Affair
This piece is premised on a true experience which has left many questions unanswered and I carefully dedicate it wholly to E.A. Taale for inspiring me to.........and just like Esther's one night with the king in the Bible, those few hours caused the sun to shine on a black brother.
April love affair
Even though brief,
It saw not a moment of grief
Love streamed down your eyes-
Like tears
Whence my heart-
Was flocked with scores of fears
We hugged, almost kissed
And behold,
It was an act inspired by mission
And undeniably, came from a place of genuine passion
Mid March saw some desire for commitment
As late march was blessed with-
A well stitched sentiment
April was natural
When our disguised love,
Became almost like a ritual
Missing each other was akin to a duty
Which we performed with-
Some sense of sincerity
But before dusk-
This feeling was gone
I searched the many things I'd done
And realized that no wrong of mine-
At the time was born
Until this day-
I only long for a revival
Of our April love affair....

Before the beginning
Why does the human race exist?
Unanswered questions will persist.
Philosophers and scientists
All try to penetrate the mists.
It seems as if each answer found,
leads to a question more profound.
It often seems the evidence
flies in the face of common sense.
Some premises I accept as true
may seem quite different to you.
The things we know or think we know.
Frequently prove to be not so.
It all depends how we perceive
the so called facts which we believe.
Is there a God it would seem so.
I can believe but do not know.
We cannot prove it either way
and so unanswered questions stay.
Unanswered now as they have done
since mans history was begun.
Although we ask we get no reply
Is God still there or did he die?

Suspicions In The Way
Weren't we once in love?
Or was that just another game to play?
Weren't we once there for one another?
Or was that just for public display?
Questions unanswered.
Time lost and investments hindered.
Broken and mended,
With emotions on the fence.
I was never in love like that.
Nor have I ever,
Been that way since.
Weren't we once in love?
Questions unanswered.
Or was that just another game to play?
Questions unanswered.
Weren't we once there for one another?
Questions unanswered.
Or was that just for public display?
Questions unanswered,
And...
Suspicions,
In the way!
Can't get off the fence,
With suspicions in the way.
Can't get off the fence,
With suspicions in the way.
Can't get off the fence,
With suspicions in the way.

Why? When?, and How?
Day passes
Night sets in
Questions remain
Questions
Why? when?
And
How?
Rule the mind
Night darkens
Eyes close
Reopen
In the morning
Why? when?
And
How?
Reappear
Remain unanswered
Throughout the day
Only hope keeps
Life moving

Unbearable
Life sometimes seems unbearable
No relief in site
No matter how you try to forget someone
They are always there inside of you
Stuck there in some corner
Hidden so there is nothing you can do
Just when you think you have forgtten
The thought of them begins anew
Bringing back unanswered questions
Was it the right thing did I do
Or should have I waited
To see what you were going to do
Then these questions that haunt me
Would be answers that is very true

The Unknown
He says this time we mightn’t last
I’m changed but he says my actions are from the past
I love him
So much so I treat him like a king
Questions left unanswered
Thoughts left unheard
Sometimes I’m taken a back
I’ll continue to be subtle me
Ignore the entities out there because their purpose is to sidetrack
I’ll remember where I stand, smile and continue on my straight journey
I am yet to understand there’s so much only one person can do
With that being said I’ll put my trust in him in us so we could see it true.
In my quarters I shall dwell
And as for us ‘will we make it? ’ only time will tell

Experience As It Exists
Between and betwixt,
Or just bothered...
By the complexity of it.
This life we live,
To experience as it exists...
As a blessing given to gift.
And the 'why' asked from heard lips,
Has more questions to add...
Going unanswered to satisfy,
Those of hungry curiosities.
To perplex even more,
A mind seeking to respond.

The Night Will Soon Be Lost
THE NIGHT WILL SOON BE LOST
The night will soon be lost
Another night of so many already gone
Who knows how many left?
I have seen far more nights
Than I will ever see again
Mostly it’s done
I have some nights left
But not so many
That I should waste it wholly
On frivolity
I’ll try now
To write a poem down
So this night
Will not have been wholly in vain
But who knows
Vanity of vanity of vanity
Perhaps for all nights and all poems- vanity
I am writing this poem down nonetheless
It flows as if it knows it has real life within it
I don’t know now how long this night will last
Or how many nights I have left
I have written a poem
Will G-d save it as if it were not vanity to vanity?
I do not know.

Thoughts Of You
Sitting on the brow of the hill
looking at the city below
with its lights shining,
jewels upon a crown.
I sit and think
of the pinnacles I have reached
and my thoughts always pull me back
into thoughts of you.
You were the crowning glory
no jewels or money could buy.
The pinnacle I reached
that was so close to heaven
that it only seemed an arms length away.
Life was so good to me
until that fateful day
you said you were going out,
but never came back again.
Now I am only left with
thoughts that linger on,
questions lay unanswered
of where you have gone.
There is no warmth here anymore,
only in thoughts of you.
You inherit everything I see
and I ask the same questions
repeatedly every night
where are you
and when are you coming home.
Am I only to live my life
forever in thoughts of you?

Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.

So when I read this story, it unlocked a volcano of unanswered questions, because the questions had never been asked. It was an opportunity to come to terms with the lot of repressed history - and history of repression.

I Dedicate This Rose ll
I dedicate this rose
to the one I love
to my companion in arms
to my pretty dove
i dedicate this rose
to the one I care for
to the one who's been there
within my hearts core
I dedicate this rose
to someone sincere
elegant and honest
and in my heart, very dear
I dedicate this rose
to my girl with sweetness
to the person of my dreams
to my beautiful princess.

Untouchable Paradise
Rolling hills bathed in a sea
of azure skies laid before me.
A golden sun offered me its rays,
and I soaked them in gladly,
wondering if it was real.
Was there a place, just beyond
my knowledge, that was as
perfect as this
landscape before me?
My questions went
unanswered, but when I
took a step towards
my peaceful paradise,
my imagination failed me,
and I was left alone.
In my bedroom.
With a warm memory.

I joined another circle and the leader gave us a little leaflet in very small print, asking us to read it carefully and then come prepared to ask questions. It was a technical Marxist subject and I did not understand it nor did I know what questions to ask.

Feelings Left Untold
i pretend i'm les,
just to wonder if you even care?
but in my way,
it how i keep myself safe,
how do i tell you how i feel?
when it not be,
what i want to hear?
when are we ever going to piece together,
what we once have?
at times im happy,
and others times im left with questions,
are you truely in love,
or am i the one you want?
is there really anything left to what we had,
or am i looking at a furture,
where friends is all we ever be?

A Few Easy Pieces
Piece of this
piece of that
Peace and bliss,
Piece of crap
Peace of mind,
Piece of cake,
piece of work
Piece of steak,
Piece of eight
Piece of the action
Piece of the pie
Peace and satisfaction
Piece in the valley
Piece of glass
piece of my mind
Piece of a….
That’s quite enough now! ! !
Let’s quit this dance
Let’s stop while we’re ahead…
Let’s Give peace a chance

Unanswered Prayers
Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldnt help but think of the way things used to be.
She was the one that Id wanted for all times
And each night Id spend prayin that God would make her mine
And if hed only grant me this wish I wished back then
Id never ask for anything again.
(chorus)
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when youre talkin to the man upstairs
That just because he doesnt answer doesnt mean he dont care
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
She wasnt quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasnt much we could recall
I guess the lord knows what hes doin after all.
And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good lord
For the gifts in my life.
*chorus*
Some of gods greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Heartburn
Fresh tar on the road covers up voices in black
But suggestive words will linger like an attack
The silence like an offering misunderstood
Triggers memories of all that has been good
Empty rooms carefully decorated with ease
Suggest a salty taste like food that is Chinese
Fire carefully contained in a box made of tin
Still causes blisters and scars on tender skin
Repetitions safe and familiar at the same time
Lock away the wanting like a potential crime
The heart is a muscle definitive deaf and blind
When illusions take flight no longer confined
Like tree bark breaks open giving birth to a new leaf
I am suffocating in anticipation in form of grief
New love may not be worth the effort in the shade
Missing my serenity I feel vulnerable and betrayed
A heart that is burning brings hope wrapped like a gift
But unanswered questions remain open floating adrift

Oh Universe
Oh universe
so many questions yet unanswered
so many roads yet to take,
but all no mistake.
i will travel through light and dark
to find the path i must embark
i manifest my dreams with the tools i have
i create my destiny for destiny's sake
for my eyes not seen it all
but my soul will know
what road to take and where to go
one door will open
yet another close
i will see beauty in a single rose
her colors will tell me how i will feel
and one day all the questions i have,
will be revealed.
