Who Killed the MC?Who killed the MC?
There he lay, splayed on the street
Chalk outlined mic and fist
A broken clock reads four past nine
Tatters of a golden thread left at the scene
Who gained from his silence?
Streets alive with revelation
Anarchic fire in the air
They’re coming for us with their rhymes
Gentlemen this isn’t what we had...

The Song That you can Never SingThere are songs that you will never sing
There are lips that will never speak
There are voices that you will never hear
And there are some hearts that you cannot move
For the world don’t know the rhythm
Stay on the path that you are on and destiny
Will compose a new song
The rhythm is bellowing in my ear
But...

Ode to the Voice I Never Wanted to HearOh, the joy of telemarketers,
Who call you up without a care,
With offers they believe are clever,
But really just provoke despair.
They call with grand insurance plans,
Covid kits and credit schemes,
As if I’m some prized target
For their automated dreams.
“End-of-life” expense protection —
Oh, what a cheery nightly theme!
I nod along sarcastically
Inside my caller-haunted dreams.
And then there’s Medicare, of...

Mountain RhythmTake a stroll with me up the street
And I will tell you what I see
There is a little house that lies next to
Edge of the sea with a little pole on top
And somthing there is waiting for thee
Follow the clue and you will see a brand
New pair of shoe next to a boulder...

Sardine for BeansPeaches and pies, apples mixed with steamed rice
Come and have dinner with me tonight;
my stomach is growling, and my appetite is rising
There is nothing on the table to eat except passion fruits
That fell from the tree and sour mango cream
But tonight I have something special for you
And it will make your dream come...

A Career in Undercover
It's no surprise
that I'm back here
looking out over the river,
painting thoughts, dripping
memories, smearing streaks
of the here and now
across the canvas of a dull,
overcast day.
There was a time
when I had ambitions to be
an artist, high school dreams
of a life in smoke filled studios,
tee shirts and paint splattered
Levi jeans. ( A la Jackson Pollock )

Evil Dress in SuitsThe morning filled with beauty and luster creeps slowly under the mangrove tree and anchored along the tropical coast where the skies, sea and my lover frequently meet. Something unusual was going on there that disperse tension in the atmosphere and the shrubs planted along the shores breeds a kind of bird that make their...

Height and MightI 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...

No Words To SpeakThe morning breaks with a solemn look on his face and the sun hiding behind the pregnant clouds suppress the morning with lots of doubt; I couldn’t tell what was going on in his head but he was gathering stones and emptying them on the sprawling lawn, while the universe watches with its open gut...

MysteriousA 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....

Life’s Strange Bargains
If love for your spouse you choose to neglect,
Your neighbor may swoop in with fond respect.
If workers you treat with little care,
Your rivals will claim them, sharp and aware.
A job in your field may keep you afloat,
Yet greatness is born where no lessons were wrote....

The Rendition that stole my HeartI sat in the audience listening to celebrity gossip
My heart was not there because I had nothing to share
The crowd kept streaming in and suddenly my heart began
To sing ;in a few seconds the theatre was full and suddenly I found myself standing center stage staring at three thousand people in front of me,...

At The SideDark days have come and gone and I am still lingering on the lawn, long painful nights have robbed me of my sleep and sometimes it makes my spirit weep. I have already ran a thousand mile and the shadows moving in the sky understands my innate cry but the moment quickly fades away and...

Look For A Home For MeLook for a home for me that lie beyond the sea
with grapes that run on vines, apple and peaches that
grow on limb, juicy pear that last the whole year
and an orchard erected on the hill where I can sing.
Look for a home for me where the castle parachute in the...

Dirty Little BusinessIt's a dirty little business
And I've never stooped so low
But if I stay here long enough
I'll dig myself a hole
There's trouble all around
And death to be expected
But the tools that I have found
leave's a wound, that's undetected
It'll take time for all to see
What I've done here on this day
'bout the time that they take...
