Poetic StreamWhen angels took my love in dawn's white light,
I wallowed in the wake of fate gone wrong;
too weak to fight my demons in the night,
too numb to know the gift that was her song.
Like brittle leaves left dying in a field
I longed to rise on autumn's gusty breeze.
Without the...

Beach Life TrilonnetThat rolling road of the ocean
propelling you into daydreams.
I love beach life more everyday.
Skin smooth with coconut lotion,
that’s truly as luxe as it seems.
Grinning at the shoreline you stay.
Falling into such devotion
faces are lifted by sunbeams.
Heat’s fleeting, much to my dismay.
Charged current in constant motion,
glitter on the turquoise tide gleams.
Race the mavericks...

BLESSED WITNESS-Blessed witness
Come to me my child
Father says to me in a still voice
You're my mine beloved
I created you from heaven
Sent you down to earth
Through a spiritual tunnel
Grew within a womb of your mother
Father fertile the egg of mama
You'll incubate inside mother's womb
Until you emerge
Spirit first encased in flesh Before during and after, past, present...

Of Saltpeter and SoulA line like serpent coiled round the saltpeter cart
Hoping to purchase health and healing, or
Gunfire spark
The merchant—a vendor of virtue of vice
His ware—the white wonder of alchemical craft
A dance of light and dark
He brokers that which bridges life and death
The sales of arms secretly sent for alms...
Betwixt his quiet, a question mark

JERICHO AWAKENING
JERICHO AWAKENING
Deception has always been
A strategy and ally of injustice;
Veiling its ruthless deeds,
And shifting attention
From aged-old atrocities,
While living and percolating
Behind invisible Jericho walls:-
Let not the reality
Of new Jericho borders
Blind and deceive us:-
Legislative freedom and unity
For so-called refugees,
Remain at hand, and
Our struggle to be masters
Of ourselves continues;
We being caged and considered
Refugees in this, our...

Theater Of lifeTheater Of Life
We met as strangers stranded in the park,
Lonely as the night -
Wandering in wonder, will the train surface?
1:35am she thought to provide me warmth
Open arms, I drowned beneath her chest.
We sang, imitating the birds in the far away forest,
The wind sang along in uniformity, blended we thought!
Utopia was now newly found home,...

Weight That Thought MeI carried stones inside my chest,
Each one a name I could not speak.
They built a wall beneath my breast,
A fortress made of worn-out ache.
I carried rivers in my veins,
The floods of all I held too long.
They carved their maps through years of strain,
A quiet, slow, unspoken song.
I carried winters in my bones,
The weight of every...

Life
My cherished one
set against
a sordid world
My lanes are coerced
just as my feet are formed
My life is a platter
furnished on a plaza
dicing my thoughts
stewing my ordeal
rendering my life
a treasure meal
set before a soulless world

Death to Life in HimDeath is to be my great enemy
For in living I am to be
The friend of life, and put to death
That force that longs to steal my breath—
Away! — away that hallowed hollow grave
My ally, the stone that bears my name
The one, oh would that I could fill
That hole, that bowl of earth
To swallow me down...
