Best Vouched Poems


Premium Member If Only You Knew
Withered meadows of yesteryears ache, recalling memories forlorn,
As discords of then mourn, assailing vibes of now, emotions torn;
Yet I believe, love would have still vouched~ together we belong,
If only you knew, how to strum, sensuous rhythms of our love-song.

Gracing my embrace, lovingly you caress, my...

It was said I was born of quenched love,
almost vanquished by a storm along
the Red Sea in a  din of gray  November.
Wandering around  dunes, a Maiden
kind housed me comfortably--
O she, laughing among lilies in the quiet
and wild  current; nourishing my psyche
with...

Yoruba Holy Communion
Young as just a week,
He was wrapped in a flannel.
His tender feet were shoeless -
Today was his appointed time;
 His feet must dialogue with gods.

The frontage was kind
To the pews and table.
The priest stood before the gods,
His grey hairs vouched for his age.
He opened the...

One Foot Two Foot
After all these years I dont understand how you can 
Play me for a fool
 i vouched for you 
because I trusted you don't play this crooked game

It used to be just you and me
Fighting against the world 
Here's the time to make it right
Just...

Love
The star gazed at the moon
On the night of all nights 
Knowing it did not belong to him 
Yet she glowed in his light 

He paled in the sun’s presence 
But it bothered her not 
No life he sustained 
But her eyes, only he, sought...

A Myth For Love
The once virgin
weeps to the past;
wrapping her legs... 
               in and 
out of a white island


Solitude will never be vouched for
Her lips have lost
brass

Her praise was not followed

Premium Member Virtuous Women
Women* in my family are God’s gifts indeed
Exemplifying their roles by their deed and creed.

Caring Mother showcases blest homemaker’s zest
Her partnership with Dad makes family’s love nest.

Sweet Sisters continue to share legacy well
Marked with conscientiousness wherein they do excel.

Strong Grandmoms’ industrious bearing still prevails
Through their...

I Was Here Last Week
I was here last week

using the blood-stained tears of adversity to document the quarrels of my mind on 
your walls 

The passion that went into each stroke 
held tightly in each breath 
could not be matched

I was here last
 

after everyone else had gone home...

No Promise, Please
Better no promise to me give,
Words vouched seldom a long life live.
Say, you’ll try, meet again,
I’ll wait as if you were rain,
Like rain, shall let you when you leave.
Joy there’s in love to wait,
As there’s in getting wet—
Moments spent with you to re-live.

Car Wrecks
Cruising for a bruising, I wreck my blue car.
It runs on regular with no gas gage, goes far.

She ran the yellow light at sixty. I went on green.
Her witness date, on same yellow light.
My car spun a one-eighty, went for four blocks.
Policeman who took me...

Announcement By Shepherds
Announcement to Shepherds
Luke 2:8-20

Luke: “Nearby shepherds were living in the fields,
Guarding their sheep at night. 9 The Lord’s angel,
Stood before them, the Lord’s glory shone [yields],
Around them, and they were terrified [the dell].

10 The angel said, ‘Don’t be afraid! Look! [mind],
I bring good news to...

And Silence Said It All
Two pairs of eyes could see more than most can,
It was as if future nor past did matter, 
What mattered was present served in a platter,
And warm lips froze as if in blissful zen. 
Talking were they the tongue of reticence—
A duet sung serenely sotto...

Lost In Twilight Zone of Time
Things lost whose where and how seems history,
Much like hollow of a half hanging tooth,
Intangible, melted  as mystery,
Things that heart grieves— what once was vibrant youth,
Whose presence feel like black-hole-borne absence,
Old memories, meanderings of heart
That like a lost address make no more sense,
Still add...

N.orth E.ast W.est S.outh


In the North the news brays
There’s no equality
And adds to the fray
Staged hostility

In the East they mouth
There’s new racial frictions
Plus they, in West and South
Peddle hostile fictions

Don’t look to the NEWS
Look to the North, East, West, and South

In the North of somewhere
Tangled...
