Senryu
A guy looks at a girl
A girl looks at a guy
They smile at each other.
A man passes
a hot dog cart
that stands in front
of a health food store.

Take Me As I Am
A tremor will rattle
the earth on the day
I meet you.
The depths of the auras that surround us
intercircling each other
will tell the moon to appear
with the sun.
I pray that when I embrace you,
you become something that won't slip through
my fingers. You don't fade away
like a mismatched radio signal.
Tell me you will keep your feet glued by
my side, you won't compare me and trade me in
like a fad for a newer trend.
I will keep wishing for the day,
I can look you in the eyes
and know I finally found what
I always confused for you
before that day.
Now, I let you go like a captured
butterfly but you flutter back to me,
only to tell me that you are ready
to just love me, no exceptions
or trade- ins.
Just a whole complete love
you might only experience from above.

Where I'm From
I am from God,
made in his image,
created from dirt and made with love.
I am from food,
pizza with extra cheese,
fried chicken and Mom's homemade spaghetti.
I am from family,
a loving mother and a caring father,
yet, I would not forget my grandpa,
who served in the military for my freedom.
I am from colors,
red days when I am angry,
green days when I am envious,
and I cannot forget blue days when I am sad
yet, there are those days when everything seems white and so clear,
and I know that I should just keep on living.

Young Love
Young Love
-For Bryan Snyder
Remember,
That fateful day when our eyes met?
Your Eyes found mine in a black and white background of thousands of faces.
Love at first sight...
Our love for one another was tempered with by the realities of life...
Real love can exist when youre faint at heart
because you and I are
an example of
young love.
