WALKING NEAR THE WATERS


Under  the  warm  golden  hug  of sunrise’s bliss
shielded  by  rugged ridges  and flagging  trees
emerged a peaceful scene.

Through   the   clear,  somber,  sleeping,  water
sunlight  revealed shadows ...

Geese, Goslings and the Bridge

Sometimes, when you least expect it, Mother Nature makes a u-turn and draws you into the ridiculous.  Such was the time recently as I was returning from a friend’s home by way of a small bridge that joins two shores...

Did not our summer fly by fast?
Eventually, we knew she'd go,
Forgetting to remake her blooms;
Green grasses dried to ashen glow.

How happy was the month of May,
Inviting hopes for summer fun.
Just in a blink her days went by
Kidnapped by June's much closer sun.

Left to the magic...

Uncertainty hangs up above my head
Bringing me to blink faster
To bite my lower lip
And to sigh heavily

Pray, the unknown remains a mystery
It can be pleasant
As it can weigh heavily
The unknown, tomorrow, and what it can bring
Is what I fear!

Why, all that we plan in life
The...

We are a living target where everything is supposed to go wrong
 We are suppose to be dumb make mistakes buy things for just today or get locked up or die for our struggles or adversity
We weren't suppose to be where we are today running...

Have you ever felt the sun's glow bask over your skin
And felt so soothed
So totally content
And exalted
That you only want to stretch out
Whether on the green grassy lands
Or on the cold sands
And drink of this glow
Drink as much as you can
As the thirsty do, after...

A spirit who had the sense
to want a human experience.

So, growing through earth days
she walks a thin line always

between heaven and hell
and oh my, she's survived very well !!

Survived and continues to grow,
an artist blessed, always curious to know

this earth's history and mystery, philosophies
never to...

borders drawn and refused entry
my thoughts limit themselves to their flawed counterparts
seeking answers from those who never question authority
hiding behind those who know the truth that they were merely told
wishing to be held one last time closely by someone they thought they loved
ink spills onto...

Culture Of Death

Today I extend an olive branch of love from above
 In direct relation to the sun have a bit of sun
 We have sewn ill but faded rhymes to society's charm
 Now let's sound the alarm to bring our people back
 Working today...

Computers are our latest technology,
There flies names such as Dell, Mac, and the 'soon to be's',
Learning each link leads to a page,
Learning each button could lead you astray.
As a computer holds more than thoughts as our head,
As the times moving forward there's Ipads and laptops...

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 34

If only the tired masses had time to think
If only they knew leaders were prisoners too
Would not security forces with us link

The rocks some throw will into proper heads sink
Even leaders will no longer be taboo
If only the...

Surrounded by broken utopias I stand,
On a brave new world, in a brave new land.
Our Ford he was the man,
Who showed us the way we can:

Forget history, forget biology, forget morality,
Progress, progress, progress to our reality,
Produce, produce and consume, 
Produce, produce, produce and resume!
 
Born...

The greatest performance of my life.  
Howard’s proud piece de resistance award  on Poetry Nook for my magnum opus “Rush Amid The Rapids” in their daily member section.
After endless hours of toil, tribulation, energy sapping endeavour and quite a few rejection slips of...

We are capable of so much more, is it not time for us to soar? New times ahead, we must look up high, and question ‘is our limit the sky?’

To stare at a glistening shimmer, refracting light like a mirror to turn our perceptions inner,...

O- bam-a lot of people are unemployed.
How can you destroy this annoying factoid?

O- bam-a country is still at war.
Does this help any of the millions who are poor?

O-bam-a time to give everyone money.
Why can’t a hardworking man give a gift to his honey?

O-bam-a dispute with...
