On Calvary
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Sans devoid and bare
Now and then I stare
Out there feeling bereft
My punctured lung bleeds
Feet wont dare to step
I am nailed so hard
The clouds go dapple drab
The sky emboss so somber
Robber and I either side
I came to fetch many faults..
Sans devoid I bare the load
Whom am I ?
Jesus from God
The saviour Messiah
Who grants salvation
Confined and tied up
The will is done now
My covenant fullfilled
My compromise given
The time has dawned
So you may live.
Sans devoid and bare
I have borne the cross alone
On Calvary
The loaded cross
Of forgiven sins
There will be images
Up a cross
In A world of great devide
No more snakes in wine
My hands and feet
No longer bereft
I thirst
I ascend
I remember you ..
On Calvary
You sin and weep no more.
This is my latter.
I Robert mugabe.
My people.
This is what I do like you to know.
I stood and went to Singapore.
To fight the pain in my flesh.
On this day 05-09-2019 I thought to returning home Zimbabwe.
I heard the voice of my heavenly father calling my name.
My son Robert mugabe.
I am your father from above.
You have acompleshed your mission.
I call you home, i say come home.
That way I returned home heaven.
Don't scratch each other, be one.
Don't let the enemy devide you, and steal your land.
I protected the land for you.
That are my words,
l have left,
we'll meet again.
Poem by ndidzulafhi patric munyai.
it's a thong
not a thing
something is on
both sides
of the continental
devide
not east or
west but north
and south
central in between
her house is 2,543 miles
away from mine as the crow flys
Teri yaad
Muskurahat mai khoya
Baat dil Mai liye arman
Dhakan hai naraz
Janey kaab hogi mulakat
Taman hai jo ban gayi
Badua Dori ka ehsas
Kagaj mai chipa hai
Waqut ki phehchan
Kachdey ka deheyr
Toota hua dil na
Mangey koi payar
Aab suno kasi hai tumhari
Yaad ..........
Like the shadow walk
Like the nose cry for smell
Like the moment stop
Like the road devide
Like the lips lock
Like the painting fill with nature
Like Mai hi puri hai Teri yaad
I love you meri jaan
With love all
Jagdish bajantri
it not the time
leave hate behind
don't be blind
don't be devide
put your feeling aside
let the lord be your guild
there's work to be done
COME TOGETHER AS ONE
A Coyote's Howl
They lurk in the grass through the field on a hill
Traveling through hedges of bark & Elm
One look at the moon the coyote's howl
Pull back the covers from my brain
Shattered memories of a forest all a glow
With a fever pitched noise have viscious long hanging fangs that bite
A lone bridge that goes through the underpass in town
Wretched creatures that explode without no kind of notice
We have embraced your ways as you search for bread
The caverns on the hilltop range bring in your kind
A kindly reminder to cross the great devide
Still you hiden behind the rocks with the trees to suit your needs
Having a dark mysterious aura to the sphere of your realm
Forbidden territory to research and learn
You howl for protection as your heart is bleeding in the night
A whole host of packs that gather sending quite a bit of fright
Sometimes you travel in packs to help reach your destination
Your native touch quivers for a source of revelation
Out on the prairie far from the actual range
You avenge your prey to which you host to convey
A coyote's howl make come to a neighborhood near you

The challenges that life instills
Fighting over mounting bills
Somehow though our needs are
met
Faith be strong, nar ye forget
It's not about the perks and
frills
Beckon Roses and daffodils
Separation supports the isms
Fractured like reflected prisms
Multi-colored light distills
Gleaning rainbows from window
sills
United we stand, devide and fall
Change the world, one for all
Human beings have free wills
Love's duet with harmonic trills
To love thyself is presuposed
Freely given not composed
Love nurtures life and hatred
kills
Taking degrades, receiving
fills
From the heart divine blessing
Have your needs met, no guessing
Coincidence! Yea more than nills
Coliding together as fate fullfils
The right place and time is the
here and now
When opportunity strikes, you
must allow
Things to flow freely, as time
instills
At every turn a new choice
refills
Start with truth, understanding
and grace
Spread it throughout our whole
human race
To believe, to have faith requires
no skills
Begin,,, Beckon Roses and
Daffodils

I have come to the place
Where a stone garden grows
Where all flowers have turned to stone
And no water flows.
I have come to a place
Where the sun seldom shines
She’s turned her eyes
And the day is as twilight.
I have come to a place,
By tortuos ways
Am lost in the blizzard
Of a life on the run
I have come to this place
Over years, over miles
And the distance I’ve travelled
Is grafted on the lines
Cross my heart, and my face
Deeper still
In my soul.
Life is no longer a playground
Or an open field.
There are walls now,
That devide and surround
Hemm us in and rob us
Of the very air we breath,
Chains of vine and twig and smoke
Ideas, and desires
Love lost and cast to the wind
Alone we stumble, crumble and fall
To the ground
Look around,
To find
Where once flourished Eden ....
A stone garden grows
Carlos
to get we stand
hand to hand
devide we fall
we must stand tall
do for other if you can
MY
FELLOW MAN
Thigh High
Is it ok?
To wrap myself
Around your self
To oblige our need
Of being
Is it's ok?
To ride on waves of passionate bliss
To wrap my thighs around your masculine hips
To share the skin and breaths
That we decide are ours to share
Is it all good?
That our primal beats crash the walled harmony for which we race
Pounding as the dead cert
A shared smile devide across our space
Whilst all stands proud and pert
As
We make
Love
For all we are worth
Until our wall.... comes crashing down
So we may
Finally lay
Dishevelled within
Silk
Soft
Sheets
Thigh High
Is it ok?
To wrap myself
Around your self
To oblige our need
Of being
Is it's ok?
To ride on waves of passionate bliss
To wrap my thighs around your masculine hips
To share the skin and breaths
That we decide are ours to share
Is it all good?
That our primal beats crash the walled harmony for which we race
Pounding as the dead cert
A shared smile devide across our space
Whilst all stands proud and pert
As
We make
Love
For all we are worth
Until our wall.... comes crashing down
So we may
Finally lay
Dishevelled within

The Class Divide
It was an odd situation the town was divided by a river.
The west side was the posh part. I lived there, that is
I worked as a cook at a tourist hotel and had a room in
the basement of the hotel. The east, across the river,
was where my girlfriend lived, a working class area
that only had gritted roads and houses were not painted.
The hotel director’s daughter loved me even though,
she had gone to a boarding school in Swiss, all I had
to do was to take elocution lessons and the world of
paved roads and villas would be mine. But my heart was
in uproar I loved the girl across the river she spoke my
language, salty and direct. So I crossed the Rubicon
an August night when the moon was full, but I had
dallied too long, she didn’t want a boyfriend who spoke posh.
All was certain, the tracks determined
each and every day
Cold steel certainty dictated
all thoughts and machinations
complacent
Will the unfeeling rails define us?
Will the force-fed rout devide us?
I stand, a locomotive, raging off the track
teetering engine building steam
throwing all your notions back
to the overbearing brother providing
lies steeped in half truths
deceptive
Shall we dance amongst the littered wreck
of boxcars toppled over?
This free thinking deemed chaotic by compliant passengers
begging for margins to live in.
~our brakes never screeched
as the truth we beseeched is doled out so reluctant
I stand, an illuminating conductor, ready to delve
outside the railroad ties
seeking new horizons for crashsites
*Inspired by S K A T's "Runaway Train" contest**
Iron lids reminding me, that iron expands under heat
quick fixes in the kitchen
beginning of every end and the end of every place
happens once in a minute twice in a moment yet never once in a thousand years
The letter e

numbers 1 to 8 all devide into 2 evenly
for to aft is my name
aft to fore

If a law became effective in 1983
would he be able to mary his widows sister?
a mile square cannot be anything but a square
square mile, simply expression, does not describe shape
12 three cent stamps in a dozen
Each day a squirrel carries out the corn
two ears on his head, plus one
why not have a fourth of july in england
seven people shaking hands with eachother
equals 21
when i am two years as old as i was two years ago
i will be 12twenty 9s painted on 100 office doors
36 days the worm crawls up the hole four meters up by day
three meters lost in rest
36 days
the worm crawls out of the fourty meter hole
2 plus eleven equals one when the time is right
can only take 5 from 25 once

Your validations eradicated from the goodness of a nightmare
You may wonder outside of the box
But you will soon be greeted by the face of a wall (the sign of a new box)
No one Truly thinks ouside the Box for you see...
(once you do, you'll relize your just in a new one, bigger and more space to think,
But all the same, You will never think outside the box)
Evaluate the parted ship from land to sea, adrift
Base your results on the problem of a devided sanity if Humanity
Derevolutionize the lines out of the skies
Ground Zero only to be thought of if Earth were to devide by zero
Face your fears and defile the monsters your child has born
Correct the classified and deny Santa's eye
"Afiliation of the Green" is on the radio
Just talking to let you know
Were designed to breed an Army of Destroyers
To mourn the disasters by recreation
Using up all condemnation
Satan's Hair locks Doushe our Forever to Eternity Damnations
