Destroying many homes
Sadness upsetting many hearts

Hurricane Epic Flooding

Alerts; emergency evacuation
is advised for people to leave their homes.
Some people stayed; 
secured and board up windows,
sandbags against the doors.

Prayers were said;

     “We will be OK, no reason to leave.”

 were their replies.

Shadow of darkness slowly crawled over the...

I guess I don't write how other people do. I don't post pictures of myself and update on how my life is going... I don't have an audience for that. Honestly, I write whatever comes to my mind because it gives the illusion that I'm...

Sweet benign breeze swept my tears dry
When my heart bled and spilling out
On madness, loathing minds awry
Lead to crime where love fading out.

On the streets where striplings beseech
Sweet benign breeze swept my tears dry
For some nibbles, they beg and preach
While some granaries choked and sigh.

Sufferings...

Arm's stretched out to hold you.
Sunlight dripping on your face.
Although a storm's unfolding,
deep within the coming rain.
Only fate can't shelter us from this.
What's hidden,will the cloud's reveal.
Oh,sweet Love,
you are revealing.
And beautiful....

As dawn appears in golden rays,
A hint of jasmine fills the air,
This night has passed so achingly,
Though my heart is still filled with care.

I think back to all those moments,
In time, the distant memories,
Come flooding back in elegance,
Like a warm breeze across the seas.

These moments...

forbidden waters 
makes one weak 
a drowning man 
knows no peace 
flooding river 
winding down 
like a warden 
grants no release 

flooding river 
gonna take my home 
leave me naked 
and alone 
mean old river 
so unkind 
shows no mercy 
leaves nothin' behind...

The water fills up
Contaminating around
the fragile rooting

Nothing holds on tight
Grasping hands slip and sliding
Away from the hope

What can we all do?
Something must be done right now
The money is sent

Empty wishes fade
Life goes on while others die
Tears cake in dry eyes

Clogged efforts are slow
Wading through the...

Just when I think I am done crying these tears of pain
They seem to start flowing again
Flooding my heart and my soul 
This crying I can't control 
Thought this wound in my heart had healed
But that's not the case as these tears reveal 
Must be...

O' the case of Dorian
progressing through the sea,
battering the Bahamas
then shifting to a "three",
Have you seen the damage caused,
how islands lie in rubble?
Property and lives were lost
resulting from your trouble!

Now we wait so anxiously
to know the fullest measure
of this great calamity
ending in displeasure.
Soon will come...

Old man wind pulled back the ocean waters 
and funneled them into his watering can; 
sprinkled them across the state; 
over-watering every garden in sight.

A flood, six inches of water invaded my basement; 
a three inch wading hole in the street and 
a fortune in...

Autumn 

blue bird perch.

Black clouds hover, 

backyard turns into pond-

written in octaves

Tom gathers broken branches
and stubs his toes on roots.
Tywhoppity’s rich bottom
is tidied up each autumn.
The ache and pain he stanches
to reap September fruits.
Tom gathers broken branches
and stubs his toes on roots.

Re-staking his best grapevines
on the hillside on his knees,
he rakes up leaves and...
