Layers of IntentionComing back to recapture and constitute whys,
To understand our train of thought, the path we seek with our eyes,
The external influence that suggests and surrounds,
Take it all away and what have you found,
Lay your heart bare and what do you see,
Under all the layers of your reasoning,
What you grip onto so tightly in order to...

meteorologist : Sky to Sea meteorite radiates z o o o m m i n g
crashes onto
Three Anchor Bay turquoise
sky dust onto beach white grains
winds sweep cobbled paths profane
a fetus acquires solitary soul lost
womb enlarges posting veins
shine baby blessed shine divine
observation work is thine
platinum pressure paintbrushes

She Opened a Gate Sponsor : Constance Le France

——————————-
lovingly she opened a tungsten gate to his Heart quantum lasers sharp, her ordained healing art
penetrated a GOSSAMER of silver spider-webs
drew slightly aback to allow patu marplesi to ebb
GHOSTLY armoured soldiers wandered within
from Constantinople fields to Berlin yields spin
filling spirant space with unearthly eerie sound
mighty rainbow...

New World Order
> There is a new world rising,
Not in thunder, not in fire—
But in a silence so deep,
It echoes across the galaxies.
181 nations, long forgotten by history’s biased pen,
Have gathered—not in conflict, but in covenant.
From the ruins of colonial greed,
A golden phoenix stirs.
The old gods of currency—Dollar, Euro, Pound—
Fall like crumbling idols.
In their place, a New...

My Murder They Call SurvivalThree men.
Three shadows with human faces,
Hands like chains,
Voices coated in liquor and cologne —
That same cologne still snakes through my chest,
Claws at my lungs every time I smell it.
They didn’t need chains —
They used hands, words, filth.
And God?
Stood there. Silent.
Watched them rip my clothes,
Rip the light from my chest,
While I begged the sky for mercy
That...

The New Superpower 2050I am the voice of time —
The whisper of centuries long silenced,
And today, I thunder:
The Earth has turned. The meek now reign.
In the year 2050,
China stands not as a country,
But as the heartbeat of a new era,
The firstborn of the Global South’s resurrection.
Not with swords, but silicon.
Not with chains, but circuits.
Africa —
No longer a continent...

CemeteryGet too close and i tend to push away
Come real close and ill be prayin that you stay

revisit text like a grave
walk thru the cemetery alone
wish some of them stayed
where they are is unknown

Fit Inthe crowd you hang with
is ‘sophisticated’
everyone sporting
new duds
new cars
new women in bars
my make-do threads
barely seem decent
you said I had to change
as I don’t fit in
your friends toasting
the roasting
of competitors
I bore you with
my interests
my needs
my walks in parks
paths for self-doubt

Grave DiggerCan't get you to understand.
I already know your kind.
You're really blind.
Maybe, a sign,
to you, will be given.
To make you change,
your way of living.
I'm through with always giving.
It's only your grave,
that you're digging....

Tears Of Parrots
Echoes of wandering cares, mask;
True ego of expectant filming time,
Peeping to view wonder's raw face...
Maybe or not it could actuate light
Tears aspire to laugh over or embrace.
Prayers of guise shame put up task;
Heart never wish to visit each price,
Let alone kick off its sacrificial start...
To redeem the lost shining chance...

silent for a changeideas swirled in outrageous loops and whorls outside her mind
others could not see, but she could feel them on her face
some were gentle, romantic, and kind
Others were harsh, mean, angry, horrifyingly evil
where did they come from?
Her muse would not reveal this
Silent for a change...

the train back homeThe cold is leaving the air
And the smell of the grass is sneaking in.
The train is bringing me home,
The home where I was the reckoning.
My body shivers in the summer while remembering,
Remembering how the other me was acting.
The lowest part of my soul is gravitating
In the cafés, passages, and places,
Without fear, shame, nor guilt,
Screaming: here...
