God’s will overthrows woes
As shy as the undertow
Marine and the reef below
Pirouetting with oceanic flow

Electric Touch

GOD’S TRUE LOVE
love, true love, it’s you and your golden heart
my shelter, my strength, your guidance from above
the one and only captivating power of love
love, true love, it’s you and your harmonic eyes
prepossessing, so alluring, gentle and endearing
love, true love, it’s you and your golden heart
there are no boundaries; no limits to this love
the persistence of your presence-
offering relief to my weeps
all my secrets, you forever keep
love, true love, it’s you and your enchanting touch
your love is a casted ocean, wavering and blue
a majestic sunrise where all beauty lies, so true
Believing in God, it’s up to you
love, true love, it’s you and your harmonic eyes
no love can outweigh the act of diligence God portrays
through distress and dismay fury and rage
God brings salvation to the darkest of days
Peace
Peaceful is the day
the relevance of my neighbor’s skin tone fades away
Receding from the censorious evil eye
these humans whom we’d like to deem as our brothers and sisters
wear the devil’s cape in disguise
Seemingly spitting spite at any color differentiating from white
Peaceful is the day racism fades away
Glorious is the night
she can walk to her car without worrying
about the pack of predators behind
Lurking
licking their lips
Strong; shameful arms
ready for the taking
She clings on to her father’s advice
pepper spray in hand; shaking
Peaceful is the day misogyny fades away
Beautiful is the afternoon
the fifth grader doesn’t shudder from his
parents’ screams in the next room
Bruised and used
glass shatters the kitchen floor
He smiles and so desperately pretends
the toy Dinosaurs Rex in his lap could be his real friend
Peaceful is the day abuse fades away
Victory will be in sight
if religion means we can all love and coincide
If the snarky comments subside
all the mindless chatter of:
“my God”, and “your God”
“his God”, and hers
What is the point of this worship
if it is tainted with a painful curse
Peaceful is the day discrimination fades away
Sublime shines the morning sun
against every runner’s outer wear
with purpose they stride into daylight
one foot after another;
Does it matter whether a hijab wraps her hair?
is it of meaning to you or me
If this old man goes out to eat
wearing a traditional head piece?
Peaceful is the day racism fades away
Why shun; when we could celebrate
why poke fun at originality
Who is a human being to delegate?
imperfect; we are
incomplete
confused
Losing our way
day by day
but God’s love will light the way to a peaceful day
Peaceful is the day God’s love lights the way
