Premium MemberFailed Wishes

The yearly line I chose to change course
is a self-afflicted wound
that bleeds each day, as I travel
the universe that spins in darkness
on its journey through the blackness of space
a second, a year, does not matter
if finding a reason to nurture my soul
comes once a year, in the form of wishes
to be met that are useless
where reason is held far beyond 
   the time I measure
in the lineal thread of changing light 
    until I measure a new year
where the seed of failure is planted once again

God moves in straight circles
in rounded lineal
pointless points
at the sharp of blunts

we are slow to catch on

racing about 

on oil and ice 

a fat ass can be

a saving grace

God loves
Thank God

Premium MemberThe Unbroken Space Between

Time... is a transcendental sense of being
which exists in a perpetual passing that's relative
in a ceaseless motion that never moves
where tomorrows vanish and today becomes past
Time is an interval traveled across dimensions
   of lineal value
of what is felt and what is unknown
like the timeless sensation of a kiss
measured in lengths of whispered breath
   and heartbeats
Time is the gravity of yearning between lovers apart
as eyes meet from a distance
and moments become duration undivided

It is the scale used when seasons change into seasons
and movements are counted in days
   into perpetuity
time is beyond our understanding
that we move within
using clock hands as reality
as we feel what can never be touched or measured
   only imagined
except for the unbroken space
   between birth and death

Lifes' Book of Instruction

Sometimes in life, one needs a map to find a destination.
Relying on such a tool can cause a slight defendant relation.
There are times that one might ponder the meaning of existence.
On this journey of trial, error, joy, and pain, one prime element is persistence.

Ignorance of man's law still constitutes being liable, 
Therefore it is wise to use references within the Holy Bible.
Pages of the word and lineal heritage abide within,
solutions to problems can be found in the Bible, it's the best place to begin.

Be not dismayed by arrows that fly by day or fire that consumes by night,
for utilizing the scriptures helps in manifesting superior insight.
When lost or dismayed about which way to go,
the use of the scriptures will help you to grow.

Have the humility of the earth, which can be molded into any shape,
and have complete faith in God and his spirit will emanate as wine from the grape.
The consequences of life will work out fine with proper deductions,
when assembling something for the first time, one needs a book of instructions.

Premium MemberNo Path Is Limited

No path is limited, to one mold
fits all journeys – no footsteps a
lineal trail followed or forged~our individual
universes a swirl of infinite mazes, each one 
the Father and Mother of 
its own invention...we evolve into
our own accidental and willed offspring.... 

there are no outlets...

even the runoffs, ever further
in....

Stage of Groans

Nobody here delivered to be deaf
And introvert of his stools
Life is the bunch of roses
Fruitful to smells and holds for precious
Letting any motion mining marigolds
Of their flowers fairy blossoms
Blooming to stage of groans
To be very present,be like ocean:
Ergo,for if that frozen to them
I shall swims to swarms stream
With a marshy I mingled on
And groans to my inspirational dreams
Daubing them into Colossus crisps
And suffice of my life lineal layers.

Premium MemberThere Are No Circles

There are no circles 
in life...yet, history 
does seem to repeat itself, 
entering in and out the
same doors of experience—
though each house swept clean 
they are never
fully sanitized.

We are lineal
(my apologies to Einstein)--
past can be viewed, analyzed 
but when observed becomes
a new reality: for nothing is 
what we see, and more 
the example 
of who we are….

Magical Kenya's Peace

Painfully  the  heart  beats the  chest, 
Ember  of  lineal  segregation  will  come  out, 
And  the  ripping  blaze of fire  will  engulf, 
Communal  harmony  consummating  peaceful  coexistence  gulf, 
Executing  ethnicity,  caste, creed  and  religion  smithereens. 

Patriot’s  spirit  yields  serene  backdrops, 
Everyone  permanently  scribbling  down the  tales, 
And  if  we  don’t  improve  the  stories, 
Coming generations will  be  forced  to  clean up our mess, 
Ending  up  in  the  question  “what is  peace?” 

Peace  is  simply forgiveness, 
End  of  hate,  war  or  violence, 
Abstinence  of  using  violence  to  show  our  emotions, 
Calming  silence, 
Endeavor to  have  unity  in  diversity. 

Portrayal  of  Kenya’s flag  is  peace, 
Entailing  every  magic  spell  of  her  climate,  history  and  culture, 
Appraised  by  her  quick succession  of seasons, 
Culminated  by  the  gentle  sun  and  benign  rain  that softens  the  mind, 
Endorsing  peace  naturally. 



Wishing a peaceful 2017 General Elections in Kenya.

The Queen
obvious to all who dare notice,
knows no peer.
Drones rush in to orbit in frenetic
sublimation;   workers dutifully push
the floor buttons of departure
destinations,
releasing squadrons of gatherers
eager to conquer cubicles of source
data.

The Queen    with mysterious grace,
wisely chooses reproduction mates
with visionary lineal accomplishment;

handheld devices whir complex
commands.

......not a word uttered

                                in the elevator.

Stardust

Night was closing in.
The blind time-
will start eating fire.
A little less than demigods-
they will shuffle on ‘I’ and ‘we’.

An absence-
now speaks, grabbing
the breasts of a nude.
Here lies the god matter:
the lineal descent of creation.

What was holding you
to the unwanted fallout?
The meaning-
of life was same  
as that of death.

A chaos-
will bring the silence of stars.
Let us forget the chest,
till the heart bleeds
and stardust fills your eyes.

Self Imposed

Dedicate to human rights Mr. Anna Hazare activist that fought for free corrupt Indian society. 
this poem is a result of my disappointment.
Inhabitable lineal consanguinity, paraphernalia under the subordination.
A resourceful visible Bond, to colonize the characteristic of vocation.
To command inhabited Living, to obtain Ledger of human grace,
Aristocrat, Barbarian excommunication, excellence of allocation.
Mom says,’ Son’ go and sleep’ rising Sun brings bounded calculation’.
 
Intensive, restraint viscosity reliance, consciousness of annihilation,
A grain roaster, provocative nobler, a big bundle of convocation.
Bubbling well being blazed meandering futurist contrivance face,
A winnover shabby, recommital mumpish, a rational versification.
A readymade self imposed Leader fatal solubility calcumination.
 
Mum says,’ Son, ‘go and sleep, optimist opportunist evaluating eternity’.
Mom never says,’ son, ‘go and fight’ recarnation is a mean formality’.

DREAM CATCHER (for Andrea)

Lover of the sonnet she
And fond also of Etheree
Has her certain way with words
That one may catch semantically

I ken she is a kindred soul
Our lineal eddies mingle    flow
And seek out those who listen close
That we all might dream-catching go
