Premium Member To the Sable Side of An Iago-American Mirror
Strange, yet a reality none the less:
the oppressed destroying themselves 
for the sake of the oppressor.

The battle of creatures of the sea
has now become that of the humanity
of the conquered land.  A bizarre misguided
catharsis born out of guided mind bending
of victims killing selves for...

FOR A SWEET SABLE SAINTLY MOTHER

Wearing her crown of pearly white hair,
Her sunken orbs glowed with a regal glare.
Her ebony hued, wrinkle hands, strong as stone
Are monuments of the burdening labor she had owned.

As her broken body has known sorrow and pain,
It remains a mystery...

Stalwart Sable Sister Soldier…
(Apropos A Major Home to Bury A Son)

She saw sorrow sadness shadowing shield 
Orbs of cataract visions veiled
In victorious battles of nothingness;
Told to think of the blessings bombings yield; 
That tomorrow the town will rise and manage
If they not waste time pondering...

A Sonnet to a Sable Poet’s Pen
(Apropos Disrespected, Suspected, Neglected and Rejected)

I want to write poems
of flowers and birds;
Fragrant poems singing
beautiful words;
Poems praising the ebb and flow
of evening tides
Splashing shores searching
where love abides;
But my pen refuses to ink
such seemingly simplicity.
My pen refuses to ignore
today’s blatant...

A Sable Hued Syllabic Awakening…
(For Richard Wright)



Even snakes have love…
but no one wants their embrace;
such coiled loneliness…

Yet nature provides…
eggs are laid…babies are hatched
and snakes slitter on.

Pity…we’re not snakes…
our eggs denied their seeds…
food for the human mongoose.

Yet…we are like dough…
rising in our due season…
and nature provides...

HUMMING HYMNS OF SORROW
     (A SOULFUL SABLE SONNET)

A treacherous trod has been this rough rugged road;
The way over which we’ve come has not been kind.
Our hopes and spirits have been tested and so has every mind;
Oh but we've never buckled under...

Sable Wings and White Spirit
Escapism is the food of fools
Like me
Generosity spools within shades of infinity
Defining moments
Redefining dreams within an air of dignity
Upon sable wings my white spirit
Is lifted
Cerulean dreams reunite
In trance like state
Oils strewn upon ole plate
My liquin soul dances amongst devils and angels alike
Burnt umber
Golden slumbers lay...

Premium Member Silver Sable and the Wild Pack 15
Silver Sable took a job
to take down the villian Viper
but she kept finding dopplegangers
those that can't be snipered

Captain America was tracking the deed
and felt that he should save Viper
but his path led to the pit-vipers
where everything went far hyper

Pit-Viper #12 died deep in battle
where Silver...

Sable
Dreaming and waiting for romance as the years go flying
by well the loneliness is enough to make you just
wanna die you tell yourself you don't need anyone but
deep down inside you know it's a lie...you fight back
the tears all throughout the day but at night...

Premium Member Dried Tears of Sable Genocide
DRIED TEARS OF SABLE GENOCIDE…

I cannot cry for the children
of others---
the deaths of my own have drained dry
the wells of my eyes---
red orbs sunken deep in dark caverns
of growing grief
echoing wailing cries 
of the ghosts of my womb:
wailing cries
falling on lifeless auricles
flaccid to vibrations of...

Premium Member Sable Island
Is part of Halifax 
This island is 42 km. long
It is the equlvalent of walking
In sand from downtown Halifax
All the way to Peggy's Cove

Sable Island has 500 wild horses
After surviving centuries of the winter
The exact amount of horses unknown
Some believe they are ancestors of horses
That...

Premium Member Sable Poetic Leakings
assiduous
spiritual voices
whisper veracious words:
faith tested
is faith strengthen…
firmed like tested muscles…
flexing mind
expands and joyful spirits
dance as mental quills
ink blood of truths…
hemorrhaging
melodic metered sounds
flowing freely from 
the sable cerebral womb:
delivering new hope
sucking leaking nipples
of undying faith…...

Sable
Mustang horses, champagne glasses, 
everything frail, everything wild, 
free as a spirit embracing the wind 
she is galloping high now, eternity's child. 

Acres of pasture are stretching before her, 
heaven has summoned her shimmering soul, 
in His arms taken, she's happy at last 
as she's...
