He Has Only Just Begun

Gone amiss is the tight white moon
whose withheld breath owned a night
of penitent voices cast to its homely face.
Its passage assures a slumbering world
the fading calm bares weight enough that a
sole butterfly carry effortlessly to silence.

Awake by the faithful whose life restorations 
into joys embrace with psalms and hymns
welcome dawn's golden chariots cheery 
cherubs championed charioteers, arise, 
this is the day that the Lord has made.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord and
to your fellow workers for by its plain
pleasure and delight of all exchange
gratitudes denies the devil's stay.

Perpetuate God's glory and share His
story--err history, and proclaim to all
of His only begotten Son, His Holy of
Holy's, His Grace, Jesus Christ, Amen

Songs of Soul COS No 8: ABBA

Her laughter championed her trust wanton,
in the garden ... baby naps peacefully,
'till a baby stirs, ignores looks made silly.
After a short while, normalcy weighs-in,
an exuberant baby squirms around.
A whimsy garden undresses young sight,
seen proffered midst an increased, proper light.
Above and under, a baby goes round,
hush, a ladybug takes flight bouncingly.
A baby's head progress up and around,
venturing to detect the beating sound.
A head steadies, a small face splashed with glee,
coos, burst, an orange speck gains distance.
A grinning baby receives the same fate,
while some garden stays from a closing gate,
as the sun sinks past a white picket fence.

Songs of Soul COS No 7: ABAB

Temperate gold buds, untrimmed, lease heaven,
In the wake of an avarice moment,
The grandeur Laurentian Abyss, she came.
Love witnessed a desire being potent,
Her hair the color of passionate heat,
Trailed sparks in the carved vale of the Abyss,
She brought the ardor of men their defeat,
And vanquished hearts with her outpour of bliss.
Genteel tasks in her liquefied domain,
Her expressed lured eyes left their thoughts to wane,
From Neptune Masiff, left many in vain,
The heights alone made the challenge, a strain.
Abyss turned Masiff, mermaid of pardon,
Her laughter championed her trust wanton.

Excavator Gave Him Navigator

That’s the job that gave him Navigator
After goodbye to Lift Operator;
Months on the TV as Moderator
And a US firms Gum Distributor…

But Bruce had not wanted Excavator,
Rather Peace-Keeping as Mediator:
“All these awkward passions for artifacts
And choosing to celebrate old facts:
Inquisitive shovels disturbing soil  
One might think one is prospecting for oil;
Forbears working on their forgotten face: 
Intriguing findings they’d championed the race”.

From excavation grabbed ventilator,
Also, a machine with indicator
And soon a mansion with elevator;
Impenetrable to terminator…

Still, Brice’s true love: his black navigator
The Jeep he drives dressed like Gladiator:
Smart, American with fine radiator…

Womb Wondering Why

We whimsically wondered why
wandered victims by
and through our uniquely human history
of sexual trauma
and therapeutic politics

Mythically hinting
hunting
poly-resonant
mono-vulnerable
half full, half empty
gendered pantheology

Spanning spies discovering economic magic
denies political monoculturing tragic
outcomes for godlike monolithic
monotheistic empire-building

Wherein straight white males
disproportionatly championed
a revengeful
and punishing MonoPolistic Judge
polarizing One-1 omnipotent God

While unstraight
unwhite
unmasculine
marginalized
enslaved
and colonized

Would restore Mother Eartha's original
nurturing conservational economy

Nutritional ecosystemic politics
for wellness-natured spirits

Advocating sexual polytheistic immanence
imploring sacred not yet empty
circling recycling interdependence
inspiraling half-full health 
pregnant with potential
sacred safety
half-empty zero-0 wombed
regeneratively polytheistic.

Yonder Lighthouse

She’s a stolid sentinel standing on the rugged knoll
Standing silently, alone, like an old, weathered soul,
Over many years she has seen taken a dreaded toll
Many an admirer of hers has championed her goal.

Champion of Human Rights

Desmond Tutu raised the moral voice to its height
In dark times showed his countrymen rays of light
Broke the apartheid wall between black and white 
Nobel winner championed causes of human rights.

Yellows upped,
humble shanty forms beyond verdant meadows.

Animals resounding,
quivering grounds,
championed zephyrs penetrate leveled jealousies.

I knocked,
the whitish doorway opened,
neighborly xenial exchanges.

Do Remember

Do Remember
Do Remember...
    Gifts jiggle, just like laughter 
    Hidden in small places.
    Ever after, means ever after! 
    We'll be fine... our chosen spaces.        
 Do Remember…
    Girls never want a gift of soap
    Instead… pile up hugs with mucho kisses!
    Favorite perfumes, not on a rope.
    Tickle time on my toes…2 + 5 never misses!
 Do Remember…
    Time rocks my boat..marry merry
    Hissee fits...unacceptable day or night
    Alone time always n-e-c-e-s-s-a-r-y!
    Talking time, jives just right!
 Do Remember…
    Going far while keeping near
    I won’t forget ..there’s date-day and tonight
   Vows we championed..true and clear
   You say, "I do." Me sez,"He's right!"
 Do Remember… 
    Years ago our saga triggered
    Onward through zigzagging ways
    Unique freedom…for as we figured
    Our fame... outlasting fathomed days.
Do Remember…
     I respect our unknown destiny
     Always you, who's hip-hip with me!
     Confirm our road! What trajectory
     True mates...true blue. We're WE!

Sing Along With Mitch

Mr. Mitch McConnell 
a Senator back when
Reagan, Mr. Ronald
championed freedom
and liberty's cause...
Now battling a Democrat
McConnell's had to hit pause

Speech no longer free
Thanks Media, BLM, AOC
Mitch bites his tongue
~ A signal to you and me

Fallen

I write of a love that's two cigars short in a box
With a chest of smoke and loves to lay on a bed of Roses
Made of yeast and dough, it's known years of surviving on the crams of a lovers bread
My wrist loves to lose control 
Try paint the picture of the woman who drives my father crazy
A woman moulded by the ladies of my city
I take notes of the fellows of my town
The men who drink from the cup of pain and bring heartbreaks
Humans who love to wage war on the subtle heart
For romance in my city is a warzone
Where they shall never be peace 
And love like bread should be picked by the doves of my region
Taken to the last embers of the cities where you do not share your own
For today my heart has shed another layer to make parcel the  blood pump of an unfortunate lady
I wish to wound an organ once more
For their is a lady who before championed the perishing of my self esteem
Wore the last remains of what survived of my heart in the fire
And now the city will not rest

She Told Me Her Life Story

All judged her.
Even those of us who thought we weren’t.
I was one.

One night we both had to wait for an hour for a bus.
Because it had broken down. 
She told me her life story.

It was worse than I had ever imagined.
Suddenly I understood her for the first time.
I championed her after that.

She Was Not Easy To Unleash

No one wanted to get to know her.
She’s a Pandora’s Box waiting to happen!
This intrigued me; I ran toward her.
Loving the challenge of it.

She was not easy; had been a recluse for years.
We became friendly, friends, eventually best friends.
She was not easy to unleash,
She had cemented herself inside.

When her husband died she had stopped living.
Forcing herself into a barren cave, a cell actually.
It was not a gentle process to remind her of her humanness
Luckily I am a party animal, and was up to the challenge.

I dragged her out of her darkness,
I forced her into trying new things.
I became her advocate and champion
Until she eventually championed herself.

Then I let her go, but not easily.
She and I are still best friends.
She now travels and does daring new things
Without my aide; and I am ever so proud of her.
