I give you my pen
You scent from roses
A pink joint venture
Our poems at minarets
Lips at warm cups
Fingers on strings
Another road calls
It's good-bye turn
We will be in touch
In souvenir archive
You say yes
Smile towards new time
It's good we didn't
Turn the tie a toothbrush
You still paint the pen
I the scent
Stories you left
My focus loves them
In black loneliness
My muscles relax
Look at the larks
Do they cling on
Insipid togetherness
Season after season?
Roses of heartbeats
Respond to rainbows
I will be with you
As long as we blossom
When rains refuse shower
You will go your way
I mine
Where new clouds wait

Prompt: We'll Sing In The Sunshine - Gale Garnett
A thousand words
Could not describe
My love for you.
When I think of you
I think of blue skies
Sunny days everything beautiful and bright.
Your manly charm
Deep voice, Strong arms
Warm embrace
These are the traits
That makes the chase worthwhile
You are the stallion.
That stands steady and upright
You are wise
You are special.
Your smile
Your grace
Lights up my face.
Among all my valuable treasures
You are unique and priceless
Not Rubies nor Diamonds.
Silver or Gold
Garnett or Silk
Can be compared to you.
You are the treasure
That I cherish the most.
Farewell then Alf Mitchell - Or is it Warren Garnett?
Your death has us now parted.
And like Dandy Nicholls,
The nails in your coffin are now Hammered.
noseless,senseless and lost.
demons inside.
impossible to hide.
love and lust,
and learning who to trust.
We come into this world,
our protest never heard.
We kick and scream.
We become vile and mean.
our bitterness revealed,
can you blame us ?
We are born from Death and Dust.
-Zoie Garnett November 7th 2015
KG, the "Big Ticket"
as you are fondly called
every game you bring it
playing so fierce and so bold..
From high school sensation
to NBA superstar
an MVP recognition
and a 10-time All-Star..
Filling up the stats
and lighting up the scoreboard
with each board, dime, swipe, swat,
and every hoop that you score..
The talent, the leadership,
the aura, the appeal,
the whole package, you have it
plus all those endorsement deals..
An outstanding contributor
on and off the court
a citizenship award winner
the community you support..
One of the greatest ever
but still without a ring
soon you'll get what you deserve
and be hailed champion, a king..
