Best Malleable Poems

He has found himself much happier
In a life which no longer dictates
That he must be “himself”.  She would rather
Go by a more feminine name, and I know 
How much more comfortable she is in her
Newfound skin, the one that happened to have
Always been there....

The very fabric of my being
Being shredded by your meaning
They say rumors are demeaning
But even rats can have tales 
Your whispers stir up a gale
And your storms ravage my seas

My eyes see next to nothing
And there you are right beside it
Proclaiming how little I really...

Innocent baby with her enormous blue eyes
Her delicate nose, and her trusting face
She is not a blank slate, but she is malleable
I stare into her eyes, hoping I will do her justice.
Wanting her to have all the good things in life.
Glad I am her mother....

Arc light blazed
circus arena
clown turns 
tiger tamer
timidity painted 
bold façade
and now for something
completely different
in a new show
a black sheep
on the trapeze
courage convoluted

my ideas are not encased in cement.
but they are...

This that rest on my left shoulders,
Spilled in me and I mixed with her,
Flowing between my fingers and 
Becomes soft on the saddle of the night.

Opens and closes my spiritual buckets, 
Holds my blackness voice,
Practice to understand the "No"..
And...

Malleable in His Clutches
honest
heartfelt joy
uplifting my soul
enthusiastically brims
in the sweet tiny form of a toddler boy
i am malleable in his clutches as his grandma
nothing more delightful or insightful or honest actually...

For years, the ominous signs were palpable
The deep fraternal mistrust festered and discernable
Propagated by colonial masters to divide and make Rwanda malleable
And left lingering became monstrous and uncontrollable
Snowballing in 1994 into an orgy of murderous hate
As Hutu brothers turned against their Tutsis siblings
For three cruel...

Fast is the train
Fast are the wheels
Wheels are round
Wheels are solid
Solid is metal
Solid is rusty
Rusty is puce
Rusty is deteriorating 
Deteriorating is atrocious
Deteriorating is occurring 
Occurring in ancient paper
Occurring in my head
Head is large
Head is hurting
Hurting with malicious memories
Hurting with pure wild wrath
Wrath due to crying
Wrath...
