The Soul never sleeps
battered and lonely, the lesson 
Life spent in The Hard Sell

Soft-served you become
melting Insomnia 
mouth sucking a loaded gun

blue ribbonned and veined
pulsing electricity 
from heart to lung to brain

you’re a free bird
flying high two crimes
now swallows two minds

You converse smoothly
while...

Premium Member Sylvia's Flower Garden
Musky fragrance inundates
my nostrils as I enter 
the garden center:
a rhapsodic feeling
in idyllic surroundings.
The air is humid
like an Amazon garden,
heat barely tolerable
making my glasses misty.
Soft music, dulcet and sweet,
swamp the amazing conservatory. The caterpillar had shed off its chrysalis, 
and a perfect swallowtail butterfly appears.
It...

Ah! Harsh cold winter must be tired,
 his grip weakening, he breathes  his last.

The frowning skies finally crumble fast
 revealing downy blue clouds that waltz
The sun blows kisses of shine--- like a rainfall
touching, ...

Premium Member Pinnacle
Inviting and magnetic the towering awesome sight
A perspective of domineering rock and icy peaks
It challenges, dares and beckons with unfolding beauty
Stretching upwards into shades of blue and puffy clouds. 
Along the winding sloping trail I make my way, the easy
Lower tract encased in green, till...

Who Do You Say I Am
Who Do You Say I Am?

Who do you say I am, and who am I to you?
Is the resurrection so very important to you?
Am I such a genius in my deeds, so futuristic, 
That you cannot vindicate me by them? 
The Roman government felt threatened...

On the Beach
From all over they coming
See them parking every where
All kinds of food they bringing
Rum, sweet drinks and cold beer

See them on the beach walking
Under the Trinidad sun
And when you hear them talking
Its trini people having fun

See them in the sea bathing
Salt water in their hair
Some...

Premium Member The Cape
Did you ever have one of those crazy type of dreams. 
You know, one that gets you in trouble, in every way.
Well mine seems to be writing about a crazy Dragon.
And Dragons’ is about, his being a hero with a cape.

Well Dragon, being a Dragon,...

Budding Trees
When trees bud their first green
All of nature rejoices when
Birds in early morn' sing,
New life all around, a butterfly omen-
It is time for love once again

Primitive energies overtake all beings
Expectant mothers' build their dens
I stop to watch two birds lovingly preen
Time to build on life,...

Away from human eyes
I fly across the sky
High above the floating clouds

Some think I'm a myth, but I'm as real as you

As I roar steam rises from my nostrils
My tail flicks back and forth as my leathery wings beat the air
My fire opal midnight blue...

The Mistletoe
This story is from long ago,
It’s about two people under the mistletoe
It was a cold winter night with snow on the ground
The lights from the Christmas tree were draped all around
With popcorn and berries dressing the tree,
with toy’s all around a beautiful Christmas tree
The Children...

Efogi On Kokoda 1942
Kokoda Efogi  1942....
The Japanese turned tail and headed north on twenty eighth September forty two. ...
They'd struggled round on mountains fought stopped near Moresby by the few. ...
Eighteen hundred went to stop ten thousand in the jungle mountains high. ...
Fought and skirmished over land...

Nature's Symphony
The sun sets in a golden hue, (A)
A sky of pink and orange, too. (B)
The trees sway in the gentle breeze, (C)
And rustle softly through the leaves. (B)

The birds sing sweetly in the air, (A)
Their melodies so light and fair. (B)
The flowers bloom in bright...

Premium Member Within a Storm
English Sonnet

'tis not a calm bright day that tests our grit
nor guarded safe repose within our lair.
No test is it to keep a candle lit
when winds are calm and placid skies are fair.
Within the tossing tumult of a storm,
no way to steer and know where...
