The sprinkle of dust
that was cast over us
brought us closer together as one.
God knew it was our time to meet-
so, he allowed us to reach our peak
and the love we have between us, He knew would eventually come.

What is that magic in your eyes I see?
Is it the reflection of our love that is meant to be?
Perhaps our rainbow is finally here at last.
Everything is very genuine about our love,
as it was even blessed by the one above,
and we know that all our tears of sadness are now in the past.

The sprinkle of dust has lifted-
and we see our love as being very gifted.
Our sight is very clear as we always long for each other.
Our happiness is expressed everyday
through our smiles and what we say...
and our lives will forever be filled with loving one another.

Excellent! Maganda!

Thank you all for supporting me as a poet.

I've been writing since I was 8 and a lot of poems I threw away. It
must have been that "cleansing" and "pre-Burning Man stage" that I went
through when I was younger, yet never knowing what Burning Man was until
1999.

I guess if I had to go back and retrieve all the poems I threw away- I
probably would. I will surely post more and will do my best to stay
away from short-stories (uh-hem).

Most the poems I do write are not your usual "love-dovey", romantic
ones. Just when I'm in love and inspired, I write, write, write and
write some more. That's because when I am in love- I give it my all...
just like drumming, singing, loving, and dancing (as well as working-
being a workaholic). Of course, even with all the pain and sorrow that
I have experienced my entire life- and carry the world's pain on my
shoulders, I still get inspired to write about controversial things that
raise questions, anger, forgiveness, forgetfulness, love, friendship and
more. So, I work hard, and play hard. That's what keeps me young.

Thanks to all who has stopped by to check this one out and others. Much
love and kindness to you all and I wish you all well. I should be
posting more up soon, but I'm using a Mac (no floppy disk drive) and I
have my poems on a disk for PC.

Respecfully,



Marcas B. Sterling
