In all the books of history written with ink of blood and dried tears, There is no war that was not hatched in the shadow of palaces of power, Governments alone, like birds of prey sharpening their claws in silence, Independent of the hearts of people, for whom war is always poison. How many generations have marched on dusty...

Goldilocks and the three bears, The story is a classic. But one idea came to mind, What if she was made of plastic? With lips so swollen And cheeks so bloated She was red and shiny And was very coated. The bears that came saw the porridge, They searched and found Goldilocks. Screaming and fearful,...

-The Chalk Beneath My Fingernails- I walk a path where roads dissolve, Where rivers rise and hopes revolve, Through jungle mist and dusty lanes, With every step, I carry names— Of children born with hollow bowls, But eyes that shine like tempered coals. The schoolhouse leans against the sky, Its roof a patchwork, spirits high. The walls may crack, the floor may creak, But voices...

Sitting on a long deck At a trailer In South Georgia Wind in the Pine Trees Reading Nathaniel Hawthorne My stomach is empty except for this longing and guilt A murder of Crows loudly soar through Creasing the boughs of the Pines It is only Them and I And Love that I left Love that I lost A hollow serenity settles in I pull at the Scarlet Letter Blazing on my chest Hester exposed As...

hey, check it out (apropos of baited political hooks) being schooled can keep you book hooked but being learned can hook you up to a free mind… schools of fish are fooled by baited hooks enticing and teasing with exotic scents on swaying lines… retrospectively, whether you agree or not with me old-schooled dogs can be taught and learn new school tricks… curiously just check out today’s streamed teasing red-baited political hooks… ...

I have been searching all my life for heaven in paradise but I just could not find it until my innate spirit reveals it. I searched from country to country over hills and valleys, mountain and plains; I walked until my feet were inflamed. But I could not find what my spirit reveals and what...

INK WHISPERS The quaint but cluttered vintage bookstore is filled with tall walls of ancient volumes and stacks of books precariously balanced, making it hard to navigate down the aisles without fear of upsetting their balance. I pause, breathing in the stale, sun-warmed dust of a thousand stories waiting to be explored. I feel in some...

A star never loses its shine, You can never ever compare it to beer and wine. We love its glow, we also love it, when its fire. That's the impact of a pure thing. We may love less, but we can never stop loving. The same is true with God, same as with the faith....

Gates once locked with poverty's rust now swing on golden hinges Every child a key-holder: the girl whose fingers paint light from darkness, the boy who dreams in mother tongues and thinks in mathematics, wheels spinning stories across threshold stones. Breakfast arrives with sunrise and hope, satellites whisper knowledge to mountaintops, libraries gallop on horseback to forgotten villages. Schools are changing. Democracy breathes in corridors where...

The years passes quickly and my heart kept holding on to something profound and an age old practice refused to leave the town; my heart cannot say goodbye for upon it your destiny lies.

In the gathering gloom of a winter's afternoon as the light leaches from the room I'm more prone or inclined as comforts tug to recline supine beside the hearth here on the rug with a good book than step outdoors as if you would take a look outside the window should you care it's more than slightly chilly out there with snowflakes blowing in the air better on the floor I think with a...

If miracles were made in the Sun I would come and see you before the day is done I would whisper good news in your ears And touch the passion that has been sleeping for years And drive out the monstrous fear Wake up to the peace around you for summer is smiling within you Go shopping for your summer...
