Rejoice At the Gift of Restored Health

Africa's Hope
Look at the floor of heaven 
Laid with patterns of bright gold
For us, they are but little orbs 
But in his motion
Like angels, they sing
So many songs of harmony
To the souls of immortals 
And while this muddy vesture of decay
Does gross in them
We mortals cannot...

Premium Member Miracle Dinner
 Miracle dinner

Benny had gambled away his last buck
Hungry and couldn't believe his ill luck
He fell down and prayed
His neighbour's bird strayed
For dinner, he had a dish of roast duck!

A Spell
Tut, the Sklent Age!  
where fire of faith?
the cursed, do ache! 
no need more hate.

No sip of remnant,
my bread like sweat, 
as ill luck eminent,
has salty bet.

Go cap in hand to it,
bend down an’ down,
into the deep a slip… 
attain renown?

No dark! be bright!...

Ill fated





Life was so smooth 
until one condemned evening
They bundled her up in a van
and then took to a deserted place,

She could sense her misfortune
to their sarcastic smiles,
A sense of hatred and agony
watered clear in her helpless eyes,

Treated as a vegetable
for no fault of hers,
Stripped...

A Lover's Tale
As we raised ridges on reluctant lands
Our poor spirits wallowed on dwarfed harvest
Castle offered solace to her drudging hands
And she threw my sanguine name off her chest

In the king's arms she twit our blooming love
And rummage pride and diamonds at his feet
Such towering aloft drudge...

Oh, No, That Song
Hear the hated song
Think things will go wrong
Cannot relax, on edge, scared
Expecting illness
My fate seems hopeless
Sweating like a creature snared

Play the remedy
Callas works for me
Relax, unwind, heave a sigh
Play again for luck
Lets me off the hook
Smile and wave ill luck bye bye

A Soul Awakened
Wasting a Monday morning mooning
Till dawn creeps west in a slowly crawl
Across cunning cliffs of clouded sky
Bade dawn drawn down to noon bye
Bears a clear day brought so cheerfully dear
Soft as your loving grace in my soul
But my might at midday melt my mood
Sin made...

Battery For Hyundai Sonata Needed Today
Battery (for Hyundai Sonata) Needed Today

Frugality worn by fiat generated
by alternate fickle finger of fate,
the plus side being said vehicle
parked here in public Salem's lot,
where I live with said diabolical mate

at highland manor apartments
penury run me underground in potter's
grave adversity doth unfortunately accelerate
curse to finance...

Funny Passengers
Funny passengers entered my taxi
Rich, schooled and powerful they look
Yet their heads are as hard as coco-nut shells

People laughed at me every town I passed
As every passenger refused to board off
Saying they will never quit even at gun point
Security patrol seems to be close to...

Premium Member A December Memento
Started on a happy note that foggy cold December day
School being closed, for adventure, our spirits craved
After breakfast, with my cousins, I joyfully set out to play 
Catching fish was our pastime, ill luck we always braved
That day, into the pond I fell, but by...

Imprisoned Butterfly
You poor Imprisoned
Butterfly
Why do you in your
misery lie
Burying your head in
your cocoon to cry
After one hit of ill-luck,
deciding to die
When you to this mad-
ness, can say goodbye
If you just Spread your
Wings to the sky...
