Dissection

Love is not a commodity
Not commerce but an oddity
Laugh at the rarity
And wonder why the disparity.

Doesn’t come with a price
Yet for some a bowl of rice will suffice
Consider it a surprise,
If seen before your eyes

Let’s talk about functionality
It’s simply a change of mentality
From a negative sarcastic comedy,
to a beautiful relentless jubilee.

To say it is not nearly enough
Act…Do…Be a diamond in the rough.
Face the facts of love,
Believe it reigns down from above.

Humanity cannot plea insanity
A war of vanity or a careless triviality.
Not a lucid fantasy or raving travesty
A simple failure to see originality invented by His Majesty.

This may be difficult to comprehend…understandably.
But love comes to us organically.
It sits in our souls and waits patiently
to be used as an everyday reality.

We don’t love without condition.
The math isn’t difficult, it is simple addition,
One God plus One heart equals love,
which multiplies and cannot divide us apart.

Practice love, know God, and His affection,
Point your hearts and minds in the right direction
Or Heaven forbid I will repeat this dissection.

For Gogo



Defining flow and ebb,

He sees me and shoots his web.

I shoot back like Spiderman

He blocks as no one else can.



He says thing like "I am not your friend!"

But I know he is at day's end.

Fun and joy define his face,

Soon again he will needs God's grace.



Gogo is my same maturity,

Even though I am closer to 30.

11 years old and lived so much,

he is never one to withhold a loving touch.



This boy is truly a miracle,

people around him seem so typical.

A laugh that is unstoppable.

A smile that is fiery and lovable.



An operation must take place,

to keep that smile on his face.

By faith, grace, and prayer,

God may your healing hand be there...
