Best Vouched Poems
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...

SybilIt 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...

Dramatic Monologue
Yoruba Holy CommunionYoung 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 FootAfter 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...

LoveThe 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 LoveThe 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

Virtuous WomenWomen* 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 WeekI 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, PleaseBetter 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.

Limerick
Car WrecksCruising 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...

Luke 2:8-20

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].

And Silence Said It AllTwo 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 TimeThings 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...

North, East, West, SouthN.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...
