Best Toned Down(P) Poems

Negritude has been invaded,
by carefully instilled dread of better change
while misery endures a standing ovation
Power is methodically toned down
in phases, 
to colonise freedom…
Don’t allow it

The future is now related,
servitude ingrained
by liberation’s inflated egos’ quest to quench,
Blind to constitutional elevation
of these masses, and an impending storm,
We...

Horses stand waiting
Some face the wrong way
Jockey's with colours
Astride are they

They await the starter
Who runs up the tape
Equine line up
Await their fate

Sixteen fences
Two circuits ahead
Once your over
The fence you have read

The crowd cheers
As they are on their way
Notorious fences
Between them and their day

Beecher's Brook, The...

Daydreams By Night…

It’s half past ten and I’m wondering when 
The big picture will include me
It’s on my mind nearly all the time
This full-scale dream of me with you
And yes, I want to change the world
Make a mark and still be free
To walk with you,...

I awaken well before dawn has thought of yawns
It is quiet then, and quite eerie in a way.
The peace deadens distractions, death-hour mourns.
The mind awakens refreshed, sparked by noir cafe.
Contemplation peaks then, and declines throughout the day.

There is no rush to milk the cows or...

Can I lend my brains for a day, year and minute only?
My heart only left to see if poetry will exist

Yet poetry is taunting me, trying to reconcile with my past
My step father’s abusive days,
Days that one almost burning,
Burns “me”  
Memory sits me well
Paraffin...

On the island of friendship,
Luscious fruits and fragrant flowers grow.
Enemies, we hope,  are not allowed.
Yet viciuosness sneaks in, so tawdry and shallow.


Be very careful of those you trust,
Any friendship.,may be most hollow!
With anyone, there is no guarantee,
That one day, they will turn their back...

In darkness there was light
so subtle, a see-through substance
of coloured ions, neon bright
the plasma of experience-
not toned down the shift when night
pursues pallid day's nuances...


While in gardens of full sunlight,
bright flighty beings pursue hearts
nectar nurturing-no more fight
for sustenance-life's true art
of Giving is no pursuit of...

I was born and bred on Sunday, so fair and brisk, 
	With life's bet both just and sure, to unmask
	The hidden gem, I leapt on horizons upon horizons; 
	So I crucify the devil with reasons and defy its sons. 

	Lived on Tuesday and Thur'day-ne'er sought...

Sunshine at dawn blasts sunbeam holes in clouds.
A celestial searchlight celebration,
with silent cheers unheard by sleeping crowds
who slept through their snooze alarm dictation.

When sun's up high in sky it's warm and bright
all paramount, pervading, endearing.
People scurry about in new day's light.
Ignoring the sun as source,...

THE   NIGHT  SPIRIT.


The spirit of the night spread out its mantle over the world and through its power of concentration created a vast sea of translucent darkness, which flowed like the lucid waters of an ocean of liberation.

 It called forth its...

I am leaving whichever  way it goes
I am leaving to end this miserable show
I dont know where I am going but
I am leaving, I don't know where I am going
But the tides are turning, the moon is
going round and round to a city that...

The sun shines through my window though dulled somewhat by a glossy barrier. A barrier of slight ocean blue meant to bring a coolness to this room. A coolness and a sense of privacy. Privacy meant to seclude, to soften, to bring intimacy and love...

A war without gun send the people on the  run.
A war without gun thats the best thing that the world could have done.No guns, no bullets,no knives
Just the virus is making them pay the price.
