Abortive Poems

courteous living life I had
as if in dreamy land
where autumnal breeze
brought your whispering and soft kiss,
where flying flower the butterfly
brought your sophisticated hug,
where the sinuous river
played a rhythm of our heart unity

but now fall in abortive seclusion without you
hopeless conciliation...Read More

I heard a dreadful, prophetical terrifying
the terrorist tapping
the portentous plane petrifying
'It's that haunting,' I muttered
Evil says “DEATH TO THE CHRISTIANS”
Lucifer/Satan says “DEATH TO THE CHRISTIANS”
Only the those bad Muslims say “DEATH TO THE CHRISTIANS”
Explode, implode the surroundings
I am down with...Read More

Genuine Apologia Bequeathed...
Kickstarting Expungement Father Incurred

Within a sea futility aye wallow
riptides exemplifies sorrows
drowning me into undertow
bitter aftertaste hogties ability
to make headway, and shuck off tow

warring internal strife at this stage
of my life mein kampf,
a failed one man show
so many instances,...Read More

on others putting
the blame is a habit of
abortive peoples

a show of fake blame
the lazy men and women
Love talk more than work

Apocalypse---

Abortive gorgons cling.
Political messiahs creep.
Other dystopias eschew.
Called messiahs lament.
American messiahs laze.
Lyrical raptures luxuriate.
Youthful doomsayers linger.
Private revelations lurk.
Startling revelations cower.
Environmental catastrophes cavort.

STOLEN ILLUMINATION OF THE STAR

This journey has not been a fanciful adventure, 
we're all settlers in  these dynasty of neo-colonialism 
united only by what divides us. Victims, yes 
victims of civilized inducement, 
terms of reference only apply to the...Read More

From the heart of green naïve village
surrounded by corps field, mosque, ponds, 
ancestral grave yard, school, college, 
madrasah (islamic school) etc he is

brothers, sisters with parents, a beautiful family 
with relatives, neighbors he had

learned person he was, full memorizer of...Read More

Twas like every November before it, 
But this one came with an air of uncertainty,
For the drums of celebrations had halted in may.
When Owen celebrated his second birthday.

Fate was finally smiling at Evbareke
Those around her had thought, 
For indeed she,...Read More

Late October
On the harem of love
 November rain is ready to blow 
Candle light is missing 
Wind is hissing like hidden snake 
O' Beloved! The dark of eve ravishes me 
Necropolis greets me to the foggy midnight 
Neither grave yard...Read More

Spiritualist -Signs of Souls


Fragmenting eyes of sorrow of baneful tears that demons burrow
Stealing Cupids arrow and the elusive songs of the morning sparrow
Encroaching black mass revels jubilantly to break the mirror's glass
Within the barbarous brass lies dormant their venomous ghostly...Read More

Tasseled Dreams


The thought of the future we will never have was pollinating foul fuzzy particles in the air, 
slowly following the wake of all those tasseled dreams I held onto to for far too long. 

The most intimate revelations can...Read More

As my way is made among the thorns,
An inner beauty a rose adorns.
A darkness present, tries to hide,
Still, the rose blooms bright inside.

The thicket of thorns, of brambles too,
Meant to discourage my getting through
To reach the rose, the sweetness of,
To...Read More

We could speak together,
Decry rabid violence of chronically stressed kids
and young adults acting like kids,
apparently regardless of income or race;
perhaps not of enculturation.

Feeling claustrophobic,
anxious about an unpromising competitive future,
drowning in inch-deep and narrow boxed-in mentoring relationships,
without broad therapeutic merit, or...Read More

Young and Strong

She was young, she was strong
Working cleaning all the day long
So much to do, but she carried that load
So concerned about everyone, at Kenmore road.

Then we moved, to Strandfontein we came
A new challenge for her, her commitment the...Read More

I was in Nazareth the other day
waiting for a visit with my acupuncture ecotherapist.

The waiting room is minimalist-zen, I suppose.
While waiting to be invited in next,
I took a chair
with a magazine table in front
displaying two magazines,
one to my left
and one...Read More

Coffee Addiction

Calibrating coffee homeostasis flows easily back and forth

On the ‘high’-way of instant craze and crave of gratification

'Feodor' true to his name slurps the divine gift all day to rise

From moody withdrawal of night slumber slumping aground 

Energetic vigour and...Read More

Incoming to live 
I died unborn, and 
I don't know if I did 
Something wrong. 

Don't play on being bemused 
Mom, 
As I'm gone 
Now. 

Why the killing of the unknown me 
I also did not know you 
Nor the...Read More

We beheld the beauty of the first garden in originality
Life in its simplicity
An egalitarian world
Needs and wants afar us
We neither pray nor fast to feed belly 
We commune and fellowship face to face
Flesh and spirit is one
Death abortive

The proclaim wisdom...Read More

Inclination to exist
Being cascades our way deprived of petition
Named there in only once 
Shorn of chance for stepping back
Of course we live, 
Starved of initiation and direction
We select just how to animate in the wilds of this existence
And reveries like...Read More

DISVIRGINED TRUTH

We don’t have enough time left to check time
Many left as too much couldn’t get enough
Stranded in the middle of no where with no dime
The lord will provide; yet, journey still too tough
This is a historical case we all...Read More

A MIND SEEKING REVENGE
IS LIKE A PRISONER WITH NO JUSTICE
IT WON’T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR  ITS ACTIONS
FOR IT WILL  PLOT AN ILLEGAL PLAN OF  DESTRUCTIVE EVIL

IT WILL FORSAKE AND TERRORIZE ANY SIGHN OF A CONSCIENCE
IT WILL FORBID...Read More

all stars that bright doth beam
doth not always a-right accord
that moderate terminal destiny;

routes there be craft-fill'd & thorny
but shaft-fill'd with the happy soft ending
clownish & whimsical as ‘tis doomful;

o moderation oft maketh abortive
a warfare’s line of battle at the hottest
angle...Read More

in order to get back to Eden to live on top of the world
there are a few things from God which need to be heard

here in America in the democratic land of milk and honey
African-Americans are disproportionate when it comes...Read More

A fury amidst the storm,
flowing as calmly as the sea
Fire raging through a forest,
blowing as wind caressing a tree
An ocean lying, hidden behind timorous eyes
One glance could flood Ones earth to the sky
Swaying on the threshold, demands to leave her...Read More
