I have to drop a new sensation,
without no regrets or hesitations
I will accept your admiration
I have a Crown with no coronation.

The crown of the underdog

In the oblivion of failure
A nameless person takes your place
Your face loses a name
Your eyes too ashamed to look up
You never looked out
Now you introspect
A new idea is conceived
A dream is birthed
Another climb begins
Deserted and lost
Strength...Read More

no laughing, no playing, and...Read More

from all around the globe.
I'm here to bring you greetings,
and welcome you into the fold.

And We Call It……

Sprinkles, drizzles,
Mists and downpours;
Torrents, cloudbursts
Liquid sunshine;
Showers, deluge,
Mists and squalls,
Gully washers -
Thunder showers.

Pelting, pounding,
Soaking, drenching;
Dancing, pouring
Cats and dogs;
Bursting, drifting
Floating, falling,
Coming down
In buckets.

Comes in summer
Rides on thunder,
Comes in autumn
Twirls on whirlwinds;
Comes in winter
Plays with blizzards;
Comes in springtime
Floats on breezes.

Puddles,...Read More

Dreams of spring
The violent storm has passed
The sun has risen
Hopes have been resurrected
Phototropic dreams have been awoken

The skies are at peace now
Their tears have dried up
The clouds have lightened up
Sorrows from the sky have ceased to flow
Arids lands have been...Read More

Pickling with delight 
purge fruits of no blight
plus condiments right 
pepper, garlic white
pleasing appetite…

Pickled  relish
powerful dish
prods diet wish
propels weight-swish…

Pickles’ glow
pot luck flow
plates follow…

pressing
passing…

picks!

A ring's the thing
  of which you've dreamed
A fitting culmination 
  to a season's perspiration

Ticker-tape parade is next
  Wild cheers, the subtext
Hit the banquet circuit hard
  To your frame you add some lard

A new season begins

“Get back in that queue” screamed St Peter
As the throng looked on in dismay 
With the shuffle of feet, on an impatient street
It was destined to be judgement day

There was no alphabetical order
In an air so full of impatience

A country church nestled in a peaceful valley,
Against a glorious backdrop of tall mountains,
That were fashioned before Eden’s retched  malady,
That beset the human soul and rich surroundings.

Beautiful dog-wood trees with blossoms snowy white,
Bounded by rocks as old as the...Read More

Digits tap dancing across lands of black and white;
tip-toeing taps across keyboard 
of an old saloon upright.
Sounds of crescendo eco across the plains,
of a dust-laden old ghost town.
Saloon girls and cowboys sashay
within swirling breezes
and I hear their distant laughter.

Perhaps a way to turn
from failed
and often violent
retributive justice
to grab healthy hold
of restorative justice

Would ask,
What is this deep difference
between discerning judgment
and moralistic judgment?

To discern,
and not to condemn,
is mutually empowering
and not autonomously powering over another,
against all Others potentially suspicious,
falling short of...Read More

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you
And everything you do;
Yes it’s really true, in the realm of love,
Nothing else ever comes even close
When the moment is just right
And allure of your eyes enkindles paradise
Where face of the...Read More
