Simple minds.
Complex dispositions.
Are we simply colorblind
Or just tunnel-visioned?
Distinctly black.
Or white
A timeless affair.
Even someone color blind
Sees shades of grey.
Head and heart seldom
Go hand in hand
Which provides explanation
For constant inner turmoil and confusion.

"Be decisive and resolute.
Compromise for no one"
Society's rerun of Bad Teacher
Is this resolve really the solution?
More like a labyrinth on a unfulfilling path
Emotions complicate our lives
In avoidance, we betray them with a kiss
"Keep it simple, stupid!"

Emotions don't make you weak,
Misguided or stupid for that matter
It's a light within you
That explains who you are
And what you stand for
Emotions...
The difference between living
And merely existing
The truest meaning of life

RIP

A great man died today...
I didn't know him well
But I wish I did
Subtly harnessing love
And respect from anyone he interacted
...With...
Simple words and gestures
That made you know he's genuine
A man of his word, loving father
And husband, mentor of mine
He knelt before God everyday
So he could stand before us
And achieved a feat
Only few men ever could
Immortality
You live forever my friend
You will live on in our thoughts
And in our hearts
We will meet again
