I can see us now Luv,
pettin ponies, musing in warm moon light,
free versin in satin style, a smile born from genuine form,

Two hearts too stubborn for apologies or effigies of maybies,
sunburned by stardom, kingdom of monsters fathomed,
forlorned by the "Cloak and Dagger" of fox hunt...

across rooms gust strong winds
emptiness without formed cracks

shook narrow confines
from the darkness within

indeff,rent,rent songs
nostalalqiques dreams
attentive inhumane screams
desire to belong

to accept dignity
speak sweet
accept defeat and
smile throu tormented peace....

Imprisoned by shackles of being born in a lower caste, his roads are blocked.
Rejected by society, he's sidelined to garbage ridden streets, where he sleeps.
Providence left him abandoned as destiny became the harbinger of mortality
Ravaging his saddened life in grief as if his existence is...

Sweeping through what once was mine
Gazing at this ravaged shrine
Composing the vitals in thoughts divine
Cut my losses and bleed through time
Here I'll stand along these lines

Chimerical dreams in the hands of Morpheus
Acidic tears that corrode the capricious
Inscrutable plans that defy the obvious
Vanishing ties that remove...

The Dignity Of It All

Don’t look me in the eye
Don’t look at me and sigh
Or shake your head and wonder why

As I walk along the street
Ensuring our eyes never meet
I frown, and look down at my feet

A mere and simple cleaner
Don’t laugh at my demeanour
Don’t...

With the stench of rhum and a play of control, he growls
amid the dark of the darkest evening;
then  reaches for his woman.. and  in a dash
pushes her growing belly, unrestrained.
She with a child inside a twitched fetus
drowns in haze of  murky kitchen...

Something I wrote for a lady who lost her life to big Cancer last

I loathe the sound of modern life
Man made machine, electric knife
Chainsaw that rip through old oak bough
It seems so inhumane, somehow

Bring me peace, tranquillity
The robins chirp, the creek of tree
Buzz of bee,...

He is an oppressive Master of the House
commanding all  to follow his beat;
that on a last desperate evening,
I plead relief from his vile craving
When a violent urge attempts to devour my honor :
Through rotten laughter, my primal instinct
Rises---fear to dignity—lunging extended stabs
Upon his bestial...

Dignity of Manual Labor
by Lori Maria Walton

These, my manual extensions
   designed for dexterity
  give, to you, my treasure

These, you take from me
   denigrating my identity,
No acknowledgement of difference
  only indifference and emptiness

Extend the strand you hold,
  with my...

Giraffe at the watering hole

	
She splays her forelegs one at a time
levering, leaving dignity 
behind, easing down to a 
half sideways split; then bends
to drink, hoping no 
lion arrives
blood-blushing
head rush
up...

They make me wonder---
What fingers wove the tapestry of their being!
The splash of violet here, mauve there, white with red stripes—
They stand tall and do not bend till the wind forces them to.
Though soft, they manifest dignity.
When stress and depression shoot their thorns,
 A glimpse...

She's thirty-three, single,
her Mom babysits her
five year old son.
She reassures herself it's
just two more hours,
then it's the blessed weekend.
Which means delicious sleep.
She has no nest egg,
she's just getting by.

There is one kind aging matron
who makes her lunch when she
cleans her large stately home.
Yet, other well-to-do...

On this UBI's Day, May 1st, to observe the greatest socioeconomic concept ever conceived.


You can't have all you want
but not having all you need,        
it's a pity, unworthy economic being,
don't expect a man plant
growing grains, fruits and juices,
rise...
