when the spotlight fades

No Bowing Before This Queen-A CollaborationThere's one who acts like a righteous queen
Prattling peacock, she loves to pose and preen
She is surly and gruff
Heckling slurs with a huff
And denouncing the life-saving vaccine
The haughty queen is quite aloof
and sometimes she acts like a goof
Should she be on trial
For covid denial
Believe me,...

The Bowing TreeWe were so pathetic our first year of marriage. They say that being poor builds character, maybe that explains it.
We were married way too young to ever have much money,
The thought of spending for a Christmas tree seemed to be too funny.
We decided...

Bowing To Your GraceAlways a smile ambassador of light beams
forever inside joy escapes in silent tongues
a gentle whisper blows kisses from these soft lips
in each others company love is perfect
Sovereign ruling commands within the beholders eyes
always will be a sharing devotion
kissing under the moonlight...

Bowing To the WindSee the branches bow
down to the incessant wind,
the leaves join in dance.

Bowing To the EastBowing to the East,
a sacred obligation,
comforting
and curious forehead down
to kiss this humble ground
of ego's straight supremacy
Including fat white men
buttocks up
and yintegrity open to receive
To imagine Allah's horniest Tao
amid straightest men
together worshiping Earth's political ground
of cultural becoming
Imaging an invisible economic hand
to massage
message
market
sell and buy and...

No Bowing PleaseWell, I'm surprised every day
What this mind of mine will come up with
One would think I would know eh?
Nope! It's a total surprise
Sometimes think I should charge myself an admission fee
For the show, my brain puts on
Today, for instance, seems I'm back on the track
But...

Un-Bowing To Fear
Un-Bowing To Fear
Miracle Man
4/22/2024
My age doesn’t allow me,
to live afraid.
With most of life’s cards,
already played.
I’ve little to lose but have,
much to gain.
My new home will have,
no sin, or pain.
There won’t be speed bumps,
on streets of gold.
But too many mansions,
for eyes to behold.
I’ve reservations made for,
my...
