Lilith

The first independent woman
created by God from dust,
and placed in the Garden of Eden,
turned into a hot fiery female of fantasy.

The first wife of Adam, 
she got banished from Eden 
for disobeying his masculine domination.
In revenge the instinctive incarnation of lust
morphed into a night monster
for men to be spitefully allured, led astray,
and a child-killing witch, 
strangling helpless neonates
with her enchanting golden hair.

The primordial fiend of serpentine seduction, 
the first cohabiter of man,
Lilith, epitomized untamed power image,
embodying the forceful female archetype
of malevolent rebellion, evil empowerment,
and potent pursuit of feminine freedom.

My Roar

Tremble at my roar
Hailing my authority as reigning jungle king
Such beastly nature of mine propels everyone to
Hasten toward haven's hiding place, or flee for safety…
No wonder that even God Almighty
Through the Scriptures in 1Peter 5:8
Admonishes mankind against the foe with this stern warning:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
 the devil, as a roaring lion, 
walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

~~~~~~~
Divinely speaking
Hearken to my voice of rulership
Expressing power and dominion…
Epitomized by Jesus Christ, “the Lion of Judah” 
Who reigns forever, strong and powerful
According to Revelation 5:5 of the Bible.

Acknowledge Our Presence

the strength of Black folks can be encapsulated
by the power in the message we convey
for we are purposeful bold Black kings & queens
forging our own way
acknowledge our presence
as we stand in all our glory
recognize our dignity, our pride
our heritage, our story

we are significant human beings
deserving of civility & respect
multi-talented & proficient
in every aspect
we assert our rights to determine & control
our own destinies
and have jurisdiction over our families
and our communities

the power in Black people can be summarized
by the fortitude we've continuously display
from the Middle Passage beyond slavery
to the systemic racism still in play
our pertinacity our tenacity
and our steadfast aptitude
gave us the toughness of spirit to endure
society's hateful attitude

the resilience of the power in the Black community
can be epitomized by our faith in Christ
as it was His mercy & grace which afforded us
the moral strength to never give up on life
acknowledge our presence
acquiesce to our magnificence
as we will no longer tolerate
hate not indifference

acknowledge our presence

Ethereal

ETHEREAL

‘Ethereal’ must have been invented
To describe my lady’s beauty
Hair, finespun with hint of curl;
Eyes, deepest hazel, smouldering.
Regal bearing, head held high,
Elegance epitomized.
And today I’m feeling fancy-free.
Last night I’m sure she smiled at me.

The Sagacious Ancient One

Oh ye tortoise
The longest living land animals in the world
You who bear the weight of the world on your back and yet walks with a palatial gait
From your hovel, you watched the hills and valleys mate
The oceans and seas retreat
Large four legged beast extinct
And smaller two legged emanate
Oh ye tortoise
You who walk slowly but never afraid of a race
You who feel safe and protected in its own house
You who walk on your toes like an elephant 
Discerning with your eyes almost like it's squinting
Oh ye tortoise
One of the world most amazing diggers
With front legs armoured with sturby scales 
Adorned with your clandestine ears
Carvernous bladder like a cauldron 
And brawny beak for shredding and grinding foods
For decades, you epitomized wisdom and cunningness 
Unchanged since prehistoric times
Misconstrued for turtles
Still men can't seem to decipher your morphology.

Synonym of Love

Synonym of love, sent by God from above;
Address of affection, a perfect creation;
Patience personified, sacrifice epitomized; 
Combination of all roles, an oasis to all souls;
Matchless forgiver, besides a perfect life-giver.

To her kids a fond mother, can’t find like her another;
Unparalleled caretaker, an ideal homemaker;
Source of abundant joy, knows not any ploy;
Ever appears so polite, conscious of everyone’s plight; 
Has confidence so sublime, competes even with time.

Though she starves, her family, well she carves;
To the core she is viceless, her services are so priceless;
Knows no holiday, found busy everyday; 
Solving every family strife, radiates each one’s life;
Melts like a candle slowly, giving everything wholly.

To Sir With Love

Such elegance on-screen, Sidney Poitier 
Grandeur galore and the first to win without expectation 
Epitomized problems faced by your generation
Standing 6 ft 2 in the heavens above—RIP—To Sir, With Love
                                                                                 1927-2022

Once Upon a Country

Once upon a time
In the distant past
There was a country
Built by the sweat of her adopted children
And painstakingly through thick and thin
Became God’s own country
The light of the world
Whenever she spoke, the international community stood still
Enemy countries quaked and trembled
While allies scampered to mollify
The police officer of the world
Once upon a time
His Excellency epitomized leadership in times of global emergency
Today that is no more
Glory has departed from God’s own country
She has become a laughing stock in the comity of nations
A vicious and unscrupulous dictatorship is on the prowl
A clown in the mold of Donquizote is holding sway
Executive mendacity has become the order of the day
Don't cry to me America
Rescue your country from American dream gone awry!

A Tear

A tear
An emotion epitomized
A panoply of feelings
There is much one could surmise

A tear could come from happiness
Perhaps from a pain that won't go away
A cognitive distortion
Undiscerned thoughts from the preceding day 

A tear could be the product of fear
Manifesting from distress and anxiety
A tear could come from joy
Couples crying together - happily

Tears that flow freely
Like April showers that bring life
Exposes raw feelings
Of uncontrolled elation, or unadulterated strife

Tears have power
Emotions epitomized
A panoply of feelings
There is much one could surmise

My Hero

Chained by our souls epitomized grip
No one can break what’s built at the hip

Many have tried my cord of my heart
You know who you are gem from the start

Nothing is fake we know who we are 
Love you I do even though your quite far

One day I will hold you and make you mine
A thousand years maybe or more only time

Your soul is mine this I sincerely divulge
Skin shrivels the rest just turns to sludge

Interwoven you and I unwritten vows till the end
I await your arms your kiss I am hear a friend.

She Reflected Beauty

She was so amazingly girly
She epitomized happy and squirrel-y.
A nerdy bird from New York adopted her
Seeing her as king, gentle, refined and pure

She reflected the beauty of outside
She warranted help from those inside
The nerdy bird said I have seen enough
Being this pink, frothy and girly must be tough

Change was tougher than she imagined it could be
But she transformed anyway at the count of three
Became a nerdy bird herself that very day
A beautiful red cardinal, and then she flew away

Dance of Divine Life

Poetically sees the eye the esoteric display 
of ethereal splendor in the amalgam of the cosmos
and the primal cauldron of primordial life…the ocean.
The blend created by the moonbeam of hope
piercing the hanging cloud clumps of blue despair
touching with the glowing grace of the creator
the pulsating wave on wave of the eternal ocean
performing epitomized the ecstatic dance of divine life.

Anniversary Tribute to My Pastor and His Wife

Anchored upon great genuine godly love’s magnificence
My Pastor toward his wife exemplified genuine care’s iridescence
Beyond romantic zeal around marriage vow’s faith-seal, truly wondrous
Proven by their triumphant wedding anniversary, indeed glorious!

Buttressed by the Saviour’s compassion of virtuous charity
My Pastor’s first and only lady sweetly epitomized fervent selflessness-serenity
Living well with her “I do” to husband-leader and ultimate sweetheart forever
Midst blissful one flesh* warmth of being in-love ever!

*Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Dedicated to my Pastor, Rev. Ed Laurena and his wife, Ma’am Dhel Laurena
who are celebrating their wedding anniversary on January 16.

Flowing Blissful Beats

Like cool running waters
Flowing over and polishing
Smooth rocks,
Are the thoughts of you flowing
Through the realm of my mind;

You are epitomized ebony essences
Of God’s creation
Wrapped in smooth sable skin…
Replete with a bow of beauty’s beauty;

Though gone, your spirit will always be
As flowing blissful beats in the womb of my heart.

Enchantment

The enchantment of our magical moment
Epitomized an intoxicating aura
The dancing of our minds and bodies
Through sprinkles of angel dust in the air

The enchantment of our magical moment
When true love ignited deep in our hearts
Only ours to share
