A Sonnet To Growing Older

My heart now speaks to me of ageless things
 Of solitary walks down country lanes
 Of quilted calico with simpler schemes
 Unhurried times, a pause, as quiet rain

 In memory drenched, the budding heart reviews
 Her nightly liaisons in twilight realms

Hovering my sun scorched wings, I soar high
traversing thousands of mountain realms
In my own golden cage , an inferno blazing
my soul sizzles in orange-red yellow flames.
Flying in exalted passion, a trajectory of hope
yet when the night sky darkens, in tearful eyes
I am reduced to a...

Sparks aflame my sanctuary 
Flickering, roaming glints 
Over valleys of bygone years 
So long kept in shadows

Traversing the bleakest darkness 
Where heat of love evades 
As the cool of Prussian blue night 
Forms a silky silent shroud

Unravelling threads of sorrow's blinding 
Guiding me from night...

Clouds had gathered, air was mild
We climbed steep rocks among the wild
There, hidden so high beneath the trees
Were two marked graves among the leaves

We climbed steep rocks among the wild
This lonely place so long forsaken
Were two marked graves, among the leaves
Ingraved were the names of...

I open up my chest
You see my beating heart
I sometimes wear it on my sleeve
If ever we're apart

I know I should be guarded
Protective of this flesh
But then again your gaze upon me
Rejuvinates to fresh

I open up my tiny realm
Allow you to step in
The veil between...

I remember the gazebo
When I felt it was floating
The two of us sitting on the wooden floor
While the kids were doing nothing unusual
Or very interesting
But our eyes kept reconnecting
And I felt the moment would burst...

We talk only of work-related things
Only gestures in response to the...

in the air, just after the storm
there is a stillness,
changing the heart, the soul
so wherever light falls
there are shadows of regret
reflected in the music
the rhythm of serenity
fading beneath the sea of grief
wisdoms shame our deeds
as the stars reveal each pitiful
pleasure, each intimate gesture
in the air,...

In the passage of time, my love has grown old without you,
A fragile flower, aching for the touch of morning dew.
Once, our dreams interlaced, and we painted sunsets bold,
Casting vibrant hues across the sky, a tapestry to behold.
But now, those sunsets fade, their brilliance turned...

My Black Is Beautiful       



My Black is beautiful because I belong to a people that shows its beauty 
through a wide spectrum of rich shades of brown, vanilla, walnut, butter 
scotch, mahogany, honey, nut meg, and beautiful ebony of...

Roller coaster by ian munywe
 
Shuffling of many a feet in the street, sighing reluctantly in this awful road.
As we draw closer to alien things, what we saw before not in sync,
Far so far we have trod, even afar we must not stop to thirst.
 
 
Events as...

I Held Mary’s Hand 

I held Mary’s hand as John covered his face,
So still,
At Peace,
Faded are the slapping sounds of the whip against his flesh,
Gone now are the shrieks as his crown was pegged into her child’s head,

I felt her hand, as it twists into...

What would the rich do without the poor?
If there was no poor to clean the floor
What would the rich do without the poor?
If there was no one to guard the door
What would the rich do without the poor?
When we go to the convenient store?
What would...

I
At the marketplace
by sunrise
when the serenity of the dawn is ravished by unknown
voices…

When the Sun passes through the merry-go-round
beyond the horizon
when the turbulent wind is silenced,
and the voice of the cicadas
is no longer heard…

From a distance,
you would see them roaming in tattered old rags,
half-naked!
Sun-baked, and...

The crowd pushes as your soul pulls,
You along your path to obscurity,
Where the light is engulfed,
By the clouds of eternity...

Timidly you lag behind,
Lost in the eddies of time,
And slowly you trudge,
To the same old grind...

But for the one who sees,
Dreams in splendored color,
The seeker holds...
