No Bowing Before This Queen-A Collaboration
There'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 Tree
We 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...

Premium Member Bowing To Your Grace
Always 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 Wind
See the branches bow
down to the incessant wind,
the leaves join in dance.

Premium Member Bowing To the East
Bowing 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...

Premium Member No Bowing Please
Well, 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...

Curving Is Not Bowing
Put on a big conflict 
U and C 

Up and straight see me
U 

Curving not to mean
Bowing 

In respond to U 
C!...

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...
