Maybe some had thought I hoped too
much And dreamed a dream that never would come
true, Reasoning from what they saw and such Trends
as might confirm their points of view. In dreams, however,
one creates what is -- Not from what one sees but what one
wills: Like light, from the Lord's dream sprung, now All, as
His Undying Word the void unending fills. Then
look! Look! What miracles occur! Here we have a black man
judged upon -- Exactly as I dreamed – his
character, Regardless of his skin! And he has won! Know,
then, that the dream for which I fought In time became the
ground for what I sought. New realities require
dreams Given to us not as ends but
means.
YOU ARE MY HEART, MY HOPE, MY
HELP
You are my heart, my hope, my
help, The passion that is me, The whole of which I
am a part, My peace, my ecstasy.
You are
my future, present, past, My ship, my sail, my ocean, The
wind that brings me home again, The home for every
motion.
You live within me, yet I am Without
you all alone. With you I am full of light; Without
you I am stone.
Is this foolish? Yes,
perhaps, But also it is true. I think of life as
something I Can spend with only you.
Ah,
my love! Love longs for such Sweet celebrants as
this! Love is a burden and a joy, Slavery and
bliss.
This day of love come love with
me, Come sing with me my song. Come be my
Valentine, and I Will love you my life long, my
love, Will love you my life long.
I NEVER
THOUGHT I'D FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU
I never thought
I'd fall in love with you. I thought someday, of course, I'd
fall in love. But what it felt like, I just never
knew; I'd no idea what I was thinking of. And then,
somewhere between my need and pleasure, Walking neither
overjoyed nor sad, I looked into my heart and saw a
treasure Worth more than anything I'd ever had. Ah!
This is love! I thought. And then I wanted To give my life
to see your happiness. Suddenly, from nowhere, I was
haunted, Needy, joyful, tearful, glad, obsessed. My
love for you has brought me out of me. The beauty in your
heart has set me free.
I WANT YOU BACK NOW THAT
YOU'RE GONE
I want you back now that you're
gone. My heart's a pit no love can fill. I stumble
through my days of stone Bereft of joy, bereft of
will.
I could not tell myself I loved You
as I did for fear of pain. Far easier not to be
moved, Than moved to love, and hurt again.
How
stupid! I loved anyway, And now the blame is all my
own. Please rescue me, this torture stay, And for
my sin I will atone.
FIE ON THESE
EARTHLINGS
Fie on these earthlings, who think
equal Is the same! Illogical. I'm Fifteen, will
never be their dreams, Though they paint me into
nightmares. Eat a whole stackpack and die! Even E.T.
would think twice about home! No! I'm equal--but not at all
the same!
MARGARITA
Margarita
is an angel, Awakening as life recedes, Riding high
the Lenten light. Grace abounds both day and night, Alive
in those who know their needs, Restoring joy to those who
tremble. In death she dons the angel's mantle, Touching
love that weeps and bleeds, As in life she found
delight.
REMY
Remy loves to let
me know it's morning. Each dawn she cuffs my cheek till I'm
awake. Mid-dream I tumble upwards for her sake, Yet
find her not long after curled up yawning.
