Premium Member Keeper of the Flame
A single light, a fragile spark Guides the lost through endless dark. The Keeper guards it, steadfast, still A beacon strong, see.. a force of will. It cannot falter, cannot fade Its warmth eternal, softly laid. The Keeper’s task, to hold it high Until the stars themselves must die. ...

The Man Who Carried the Flame
(A Poetic Prophecy) He walked not with crowds, but with silence. A hush clung to his steps like a prayer. The wine of the world he did not drink— He stored his storms in chalices of fire. The daughters of dust followed him not for touch, But for something they could not name— The way the stars bowed when he passed, The way...

The Freedom Flotilla
This is no pleasure trip, no voyage for the weak-hearted. The activists singing, holding arms, like birds in the trees, those in awe of morning’s glory, in a dolphin-crowded sea, mantle of intellect, a true heroic affair. They have a ship load of food and medicine, a holy mission to the chagrin of warmongers and their media culprits. To...

This Is Where I Rise
Let it be known— this is where I rose. Not from victory, but from void. Not from praise, but from prayerless nights with no answer. I rose not like sunlight, but like stone breaking through its tomb. Not like wind— but like silence that chose to speak. This is where I shed the skin of survival. Where I buried the man who begged for belonging. Where I kissed the...

Herculean hero
Our towering talisman…glowering totem…manic volcanic Viking King.. The flowering genesis of a powering nemesis… Herculean but Sisyphean struggles showering.. The penury of injury…intrigue of fatigue…cavorting With the clarity and lack of charity Of ripsnorting depravity and disparity of sporting gravity.. Another unfair body scare on the square or Stokes lair…for our oh so rare.. devil may care…flair compere with his...

She's a God sent With nice cents Like she burns insects She wears unisex Never urge for sex She's offset Don't upset her. She conscious She never reap Where she...

The heroic villain
We are the villains in a story they spun We get the villain arc without being a villain The storyline of a traumatic childhood Living under a shadow Constantly being misunderstood Having to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good Without being given credit of saving the world What they don't tell you is how the hero is the coward How...

The Looney At The Wishing Well
I spend most of my days at the wishing well, tossing in loose coins and spare change. One wish for them, one wish for me, one wish for them, one wish for me. Only thing I ever ask God or the universe for myself is to keep the cash flow coming in. Only thing I ever ask God or the universe for everybody else is world peace and maybe just...

FALLEN SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE SOIL
Weep Africa, weep on. The battle with death is one we dare not to fight, For the call from the great beyond is outside the scope of our existence. Just as our known hero Ngugi Wa Thiong'o has fallen, Like countless unknown heroes forgotten to time, We shall all follow this path of no return one by one. Fight Africa, fight...
