Sparks of JoyI squeeze my eyelids narrow as I follow east
The scarlet rays of dawn loom like a crouching beast
That watches with a hunger neither harsh nor kind
And breathes out living warmth into the sapling pines
My path unfurls before me like a shaken sail
Like wings as shy and boundless as the nightingale
Like rivers drawn abroad by sloping...

Summer's Glow
pleading petals play gently in the sun
whispering joy across the sticky skin
summertime blessings cannot be outdone
however, autumn is her next of kin
praying roses and melancholic buds
remembering our heart’s tender healing
hanging in timeless ache of fair redbuds
season’s bliss lifts shadows who’re concealing
promising the night stars, moon and fireflies
rousing such beauty the skies come to life
only God...

Black joy vs the worldThey hate us not because we’re bad but because we are everything they cannot be
Because while they stew in their own misery
Formed from their own jealousy
We live life fully
Because that’s the beauty of Black people
We create joy where joy has been locked out
Then try to hide it through false superiority
Whilst trying to convince the...

To be black part IITo be black
Is to live life freely
Despite being trapped in a cage without a key
Ignoring the hate from society
As their bodies radiate envy
Trying to destroy our joy through spreading negativity
And taking our lives violently
To be black Is to smile in the face of adversity
To be black
Is to find beauty in the...

Bliss and peacefeeling incomplete, we wish to ascend
securing lasting joy that does not fade
so to this end our will to God we bend
that in streams of love and light we may wade
in moments of heightened joy thoughts are still
so befriending silence we let mind rest
sipping soma nectar to our heart’s fill
with bliss magnetism teasing us in jest

Echoes that entices, suffices
In the quagmire ooze of daily trudge,
where the mire of monotony
clings cold, congealed in sorrow,
it takes only a spark of inspiration,
to transform an ordinary morsel
into a shimmering taste of sheer joy.
Echoes that entices, suffices.
I carry my sample bag handy,
stocked with my pet peeves in reverse.
Tiny things that you take time
to notice, and create space for,...
