Premium Member Sedated Sin
I feel her wake, and I quake
Afraid...I'll make the same mistake
For goodness sake
My hands....
how they shake

I hear her low moan, and I groan
She'll rise from where she's been thrown
I'm not alone...never alone
I can't atone
for deeds she has sown

She is so real...her power...I feel
As I reel
she...

Mother Nature: My Life In a Lemon Grove
During this unsettling time 
I find much relief walking 
beside the lemon grove.
I take my time on the 
same route every day. 

How the lemons 
and my life has changed. 

The trees have already flowered 
and small green lemons appeared. 
Soon they grew larger and...

Can I Ever Return
Reborn, a Christian fallacy
dreams that have haunted me
left handed, what a shame
someone has to bear the blame

a teddy bear that never speaks
guards the child from attic squeaks
goulish figures of a mothers glow
a fallen angel I never did know

applesauce and mustard bread
free cheese, the government said
mice...

Premium Member These Two Old Pups
These two old pups are near and dear;
I’ve kept them both throughout the years.
Lyra’s brindle, still cheetah-fast;
Lemony’s best years, in the past.
The thought of losing brings a tear.

When daughter schooled quite far from here 
and had them crated, it was clear
they could not last, were...

Beast In Society
A stripped continent
N a input a dominance
Tried to feed a them a civilized consciousness
By rapin our history til the condem spilts
Held in bondages
Wonder where is the lord we suppose to be so fond of is
Black women best job was to produce the finest ox
Young strong...

Skimming the Blue
, italics , 
Skimming the blue

  Beneath the earth sleeping, silent to this day lay a squadron fit for heroes,
Crated and at prey, years of torment endured, destined for the skies,
Brave wings of might capture British heart’s, buried from prying eyes.

 Denied by fate...

Squad Justice
The thin black gauze does not obscure the eyes
Staring at me, one eye closed, one eye open; devoted
Grey metal pipes, exacting in their common goal,
Soon to erupt in justice, to carry out a sentence passed.

The sand below my feet is almost as dry as my...

The Perary
In jungle wild lives a creature
so rare hardly ever seen
wanted by London zoo keeper
Only found in a deep ravine,

this creature is called a perary 
elusive, secretive, problematic
lifespan Unknown, very hairy,
always in hiding though nomadic,

this creature had to be captured 
at birth as it doubled in...

Premium Member Behind the Curtain Door
Behind The Curtain Door
There's one in front,
          there's one in back,
Both keyless doors,
          with wooden latch,
All else there hangs,
        ...

Family Rim, Stream and Team
Senior citizens 
Crated in old people’s homes
Discarded denizens
Wrinkled forms

Pivotal during heyday
Generating national growth
Beyond payday
Bestowing cloth

On backs of offspring
Pouring sweat day and night
Zip in their gait and spring
Delight and sunlight

In hearts of extended families
Fountains of love and generosity
Inspiration for hallowed homilies
Wellspring of wisdom in the city

Senior...

Premium Member First Flakes of Snow
I can remember so long ago
When we anxiously awaited
The very first flakes of snow.

Dressing warmly, just so-so
Our anxiety was unabated
I can remember so long ago,

A change in the status quo
Snow’s appearance is overrated
The very first flakes of snow!

As we aged, it became a woe
One storm...

There Is Nothing New Under the Sun
All creative thought’s start with our surroundings
From the trees, birds and water even the ground we walk on
Each and everything mankind has created
Has come from the earth itself

The ink we write with paint we paint with
The buildings we build and the cars we drive
The houses...

Empty Graves
finding dots, spots of glory
drawn upon satin-sheet-crisps
baked in apples and crated
to my inner thigh, memorized
by my tongue.  splashes of thought
delicately trace a lone pillow case
where once we swallowed smitten
waves of wet sounds and empty graves...

Birth
Is wonderful to give them life.
Is wonderful to see them grow.
Nothing compares to the feeling of
Holding the miracle crated of love...
Feeling your strengths for them re-born.
Enjoying every great accomplishment.
Resolving together the mistakes.
Enjoying together each dawn.
Planning together the coming of a new day.
Feels wonderful to know,...
