Yawning sun, waves the chaos for peace,
For a while, sorrow sleeps and curses cease.
Drowning sky guides the birds ,way for home,
Blushing clouds build the delusional dome.
traffic rests for breath,
A moment for us ,no fear and death.
Echoes of silence in air speak,
All tiny souls roam and peek.
Nature admires their work and sings,
A song of love and wisdom swings.
The evening wind cools the desert fire,
All feel grateful – in spite of their desire.
Burden and scars sleep beneath the evening breeze,
All hearts find comfort, all minds feel ease.

He climbs out of his car and admires his reflection.
Intoxicated by his self-perceived perfection.
He tells himself he's number one.
Says he's entitled to his fun.
Will never want to pay his way.
When he's asked, he walks away.
Rejects responsibility.
Just tells himself he must be free.
Will lie to cover up his tracks.
Distort the truth - denies the facts.
Says self-preservation must be his rule.
Believes he's a winner and thinks he's cool.
He's a legend inside his tiny mind.
But sadly, one day he will find.
He's on his own - his friends are gone.
And will never accept he’s done any wrong

The stench of shame fills the air
Tears fallen choked her words
Laying in a pool of red
Her massa had stolen her innocence
Bruises decorated her already scarred flesh
A mark of ownership
A sinister smirk sends shivers
As the white man admires his coloured canvas
Pride engulfs him
Watching her struggle against the shackles
Her screams silenced by his hands around her neck
As he brutally ravages her again and again
He whips his initials onto her untouched back
As a reminder that he also owns her flesh
She had no autonomy left
Her insides felt dirty, poisoned by the white man's lack of mercy
With every violation her grip on hope was slipping
Until she fell into a numbness unending
A shell of who she was
She was forced into a life of silence
Held captive by the punishment of violence
That day a lesson was taught on how to live a life on mute

He primps that dome like it’s his crown,
A shiny orb, the talk of town.
Shaves that bowling ball twice a day,
No rogue hairs dare to stay.
Refined olive oil, scentless, slick—
His scalp’s own secret, glossy trick.
Then Axe spray rains, a scented storm,
Because the ladies find that charm.
Post-shower, towel wraps so neat,
Humidity’s spa for his heat.
Pores open wide, like welcome mats,
While he admires himself in flats.
Mirrors lurk in every nook,
Catching every shiny look.
Not married yet? “I’m picky,” he grins,
Waiting for love to roll right in.
On his dresser, a brush sits proud—
No bristles live, it’s just a shroud.
A hairbrush purely for show,
To tease the girls who don’t quite know.
No follicles, but full of flair,
Hair-care metaphors everywhere.
A follicle-free knight of sheen,
The baldest king you’ve ever seen.

Tears compel my heart to scream, then sigh
still as the winter's breath who inspires
Listening to my soul's grief, I search the sky
glistening stars, moon and dream admires
Grace grows in the heavenly realms, oh why?
Everywhere I go I feel the glow of love's fire

It's my nephew's birthday
Kendrick by name to be precise
I feel excited and rejuvenated
His birth ignited my burning desire
Awakening my soul
Shifting my perspectives
Shedding old beliefs
He turned 1 year old today.
I admires his attributes
He smiles so bright
Naturally endowed with creativities
I wow and bow
"Whenever I watch his activities"
He's happy and optimistic
A wondrous baby, wunderkind I think.
He's differ but special, very unique.
Even at a very tender age,
He does and give what none can't
Get to know him and you'll see it's true
Wishing him a magnificent birthday
I pray his days on earth be glorious just as he's.
Happy womb escape day my amiable and affable nephew.

My daughter Louisiana
where did it go wrong ?
Why have you become so greedy
Greedy that you feed on your own offsprings
Intoxicated by drinking the blood of your own children
Your sister’s wombs are cracking with terror
Because of what you do to their children
Isn’t America the peace maker a woman who every man admires her enchanting beauty
Your breast feeds the young and old the rich and poor
But why are the sons of California neglected their tear have created rivers
Their wounds have deepened to form valleys,
their scars sing the song of survival and seek revenge
My deaf ears hear cries from thousands miles away
And my womb mourns day and night and my heart is drained by the weep
Those with expensive shoes on their feet flee
the bear footed are left behind
Peace be upon the sons and daughters of Louisiana.

In every life, now and after, I would choose you, and look for your laughter, even if we will never be together, I’d still choose you, always and forever, if I had nine lives, I’d spend all nine with you, and I’d give you one if you needed me too,
words still can’t describe what you mean to me, but if I had to say one, I’d start with destiny, and I’d finish it with the term, meant to be,
I believe that’s what we are, a telescope always admires the moon from afar,
and if I can’t be close, a mountain is where I’ll go, I’d set down my telescope, and I would watch everything you do, because a telescope means nothing without the moon,

Her soft pink petals are invitingly fresh and bright
Next to many others displayed in colors that delight
She sits and patiently awaits on greenhouse shelves
And prays she is soon chosen, as her heart swells
She smiles as the morning sunlight warms the air
As her earthy scent wafts and attracts with flair
Her magenta blooms are lightly covered in mist
Her petals stir, welcoming the moist dew kiss
She hopes the sweet geranium lady will soon be here
Then soon hears her voice as she's getting near
Her petals whimsically gleam as her growing stems invite
As she sits attentively waiting, feeling proud and sprite
She feels her pot lifted from the crowded greenhouse floor
Delighted she was chosen and excited for what's instore
Her feet are now planted at her new home in a beautiful pot
Displayed amongst her blooming friends in a bright cool spot
She smiles as the morning breeze tickles her new blooms
And her sweet lady admires her beauty and fresh perfumes
She vows to zealously grow, with her petals blooming strong
In hopes her blooms deliver delightful gifts all summer long

Beneath a sky of velvet, deep and blue,
Where stars like diamonds twinkle, bright and clear,
My heart, a vessel, filled with love for you,
Admires the beauty that you always wear.
Your eyes, like galaxies, vast and unknown,
Reflect the universe, a cosmic sight,
Your laughter, music, sweeter than a tone,
Dispels the darkness, fills my world with light.
And as I gaze upon your radiant face,
A love so pure, so deep, I cannot find,
I'm lost in wonder, filled with such a grace,
To have your love, a treasure of my mind.
So let us journey through this starry night,
And hold each other close, forever bright.

she glides through life being a miracle to many
they see it, and say it; her name is Mrs. Penny
She is humble and smiles, a listener so true
Adored by students, this year there are twenty-two
she keeps a confidence, and holds your heart for life
Mr. Penny adores her too, admires his marvelous wife

My Special Poet Poetry Contest- Tom Woody
This poem is dedicated to Speaks Volumes, PS Poet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: I know there is a place for me in this world, as I am needed. – Speaks Volumes (Wendy Horder)
-------
She is lover of family, sharp in thinking new
Perhaps a bit sharp in words, unmerciful too
Even before you think that you do know her well
All about your heart is calculated by her still
Knowing world better, her fact-finder job was swell
She is spirited, pious, lively & rhymes well
Vigor, value, family & friends she admires
Oblivious to concerns of health, she inspires
Little does she fear, stubborn doter, dog lover
Ultimate love is her quality gem, artless dear
More than anything else she adores poetry
Engrosses in shape-poetry & mystery
She loves humor, wit, wisdom, above all her country.

Sundial numerals illuminate
Knowing noon narrow shadow arrow strikes
Flicks ‘round corners of maze elaborate
Heraldic daffodil, dormant out psychs
Lion, amber assured stride resolute
Teams beside mine, admires canter cloud bounce
Trembled meshing manes make brushstrokes astute
Abstract turns apparent, rewound amounts
Labyrinth lane secures our fears slumbering
Canary chortle performs audacious
Honey wine celebrates when Summer brings
Walls torched in lofty laughing blazes
Flung flaxen, fertile wheat fields’ wispy waltz
Scorched xanthe seeds multiply dream results

I must admit she’s beautiful.
I see her swagger towards me.
Yet I feel confused.
I am in an insoluble maze.
I am reminded of a marigold.
She loves me
She loves me not.
Bah! Waste of time.
To love or not to love?
That is no question.
I should know my feelings.
I am confused.
Do I love her?
Does she love me?
So gorgeous..
Everyone admires her.
New fashioned dress.
High stilettoes
Echoing in the street:
Come to me!
Come to me!
Yet I am afraid of her.
And I know not what to do!
It’s a mystery.
Is there a code for love?
I don’t know it.
