My Confession
It is hard to really tell you
The beauty of this man
For many simply find it
Too hard to understand
They laugh, they smile, and tease
As I describe his every being
They just can’t fully see
The splendor that I’m seeing
Though he is just a character
I really can care less
He...

The Cross of Destiny
Three crosses stood still that faithful day
As the skies sadly wept a guilted grey
On the highest hill they would be seen
By Roman ruled eyes that did demean

The middle cross covered in rustic red
Where the calamitous Christ’s blood sacrificed shed
The lachrymal lamb dies for our shameless...

Premium Member Oggwool Fleece
In England’s pleasant pastures amid the free wild flowers
Lie pagan ways the wise ones do not mock
And one adept at harnessing these ancient rural powers
Was Oggwool Fleece, the black sheep of the flock

Oggwool was old, much older than the old oak it was said
Beneath whose...

Tears of the Cross
Three crosses stood still that faithful day
As the skies sadly wept a guilted grey
On the highest hill, they would be seen
Ruled by Roman eyes that did demean

The middle cross covered in a rustic red
Where the blood of Christ, sacrificed shed
The limpid lamb died for our...

Once night Gretta Foster sat in the backyard, 
building a rocket ship that ought to take her a-far, 
she had been working day and night - tirelessly, 
hammering, programming, all so dexterously. 
 
Then when the sun arose and sparkled in...

The right word indeed is what we poets always seek
As we use our imaginations in finding and identifying
A theme of interest and one that allows us to work and
To weave a tapestry of poetic virtue and enchantment.

The Beach Sunset
Sitting in the  spectacular  shingle beach, 
While  the  waves  in  the  seemingly endless  sea  gives  its speech, 
And  the  winds  smoothly  whispering  in my ears, 
As  it  plays...

Early Morning In Walvis Bay
Hand in hand with the breaking pink light of dawn, 
A light east breeze dances on tiptoes upon the water’s surface. 
I stand on the wooden deck, looking out onto the quiet bay,
Scattered boats gently sway in their moorings.

Making me feel like I am flying...

Confrontationally Calming Creating Cosmological Cows
Yawn said Saudi Arabian prawn in a bin liner watching a cake. Chopping cutting cuticles cubicles clubbing clang clanging clam. Drama is not an item in a scene. It is merely to disguise battling molluscs and lettuces in flowery beds. Aroma of lemons should never...

Who Am I
Sun smiled, rain roared, pleasant did earth smell
The God threw something like a bell
When on the blanket like sky it fell
Unfurled an awesome arc sounding like a bomb shell
Seven streaks of glistening light rays the following did spell

“I am, (Speaks the following)

Almighty’s aesthetic amazing artifact

The Cloud Messenger
The Cloud Messenger 
(On reading Meghadootam of Kalidasa)

Words fail to describe its exceeding beauty 
Immortalized by the poet of matchless ability
Whose pen danced to the tunes of melody
That conferred on it the status of a celebrity. 

Anyone with fondness for outstanding verse
Will at once fall...

As They Leave (2)
As they leave
They leave with us nothing but an empty
Treasure to treasure which even Judas Iscariot
The disciple’s Treasure cannot measure
And treasure with pleasure.

As they leave,
They victimize and they seize with impunity
And dishonour students’ union leader’s certificates
Since 2000,for leading peaceful protest
Within and outside campus

As they leave,
They...

An Ode To Empress Josephine
Precious creole from a Caribbean haven,
she that inhabits the vacuum of my heart.
Your kiss can quell a heart laden with fury,
to save regiments from a scene of carnage.

A man's long life span of five score and seven
is nothing more than a fruitless lengthy age
in comparison...
