Long Airway Poems

laden with blossoms and fruit
gently assail cilia of the nostrils,
aside from aiding distinguishing 
pleasant or unpleasant smells 
additionally incorporate...

Here I am again,
Caught up in this old subtended world, what a world;
Haven got a friend;
Only now I know that somewhere ( but where )
Is there, a God in heaven?

who am I
To judge the JUDGE;
whom...

Reeds and dry mud walls,
Into whose crevices, weaving needles and knives are fixed.
Iron sheets of rust on top,
(The only modern feature!)
With leakages through which we can even visualize the sun,
Through which rain water and even...

My sister Annick fixed me, locked me in, with cold, blue eyes as she sat down slowly next to me at the table. “I’m a surgeon,” she said, not quite casually, “a board certified surgeon.”

Inside my nose lies my kind of treasure
Each dig brings no gold, but a lot of pleasure
Most times it's the right nostril that's clogged
With the left side, when I blow out, I can whistle for...

Wanted: Slinger of Mirrors,

Tessellating lungs of fulcrum
Wading into scorn’s yellow Spring pond
We are flying to the airway Of. I hunger for our old hunger. 
We dealt our Hand and every Star
Only one pond my reflection’s...

How can I fetch what's inside me?
It's a mental scream I can see,
They had poured fear through my mind's crease,
Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.

There has been a real stage play,
Rumbling in the...

student they are
on the wings of knowledge,
on mirthful wings of angel,
on light of inside and outside

On beginning to compose a new poem...

Assaying thoughts gambol,
scuffling as in an affray
née crushing, jockeying, stampeding...
demanding equal airplay
gushing as metaphorical think
spigot turned on full force airway
thru totally tubular cerebral

microcosmic aisleway
vesicular conduit fifty
plus shades of gray
exhaling...

Death by misadventure.
That is sadly how 
most Black lives 
wrongfully and unnecessarily
lost at the hands of police officers
are written off these days.
It's become the new normal.
Yet another Black life
has been snuffed out 
while in the...

Here I am again caught up in this old suspended world
Bounded by chains, don't know my name
Caught up in a veil of surprise
Yet, do I yield my arms are open widened
I submit, I am real,...

Getting it out with a good shout
Now don't go and pout
Deep down inside so riddled with doubt
Need to find a safer route
Tired of fighting these heartfelt bouts

Our freedom has a way of holding the past

It’s like being in prison within a very small cell
The loneliness it brings seems more than you can bear
The pain...

Do you really excised 
As I step out of the door 
With the music that carries me out of the door
 Carries me though the day

Brittle pages, ideas tossed along the wayside.
Bay side bossoms, Beaches and Bette Midlers
F-rated winds. Ripped magazine articles littered through abandoned streets. Young minded men sneaking peaks from National Geographic physiques. African antiques, charcoal skin ~her...

A golden weaver's beam in my right hand and white portals is where I stand;
Still and yet moving;
How can this be?
Portals upon portals white and clean.
An open airway with pillars anew;
the golden beam with His...

There's a fire deep within,, There's a soul that noone's seen
It's still willing to win, With you, it should've been
Though the burning heart's desire, extinguished from a fire
into a single flae, its beauty once admired

This one was that I was tricked and, well I don't...
