Long Antelopes Poems

The range in its majesty gives way to open thoughts of the wild things in taming, I have eaten hard pan and dust as my regular meal to be had.

I to the constant trail beaten...

I shivered
I quivered
eyes!
cried!
dried!

I puzzled winkled I bled
I muffled tingled I shed

between the greens some shades
beneath the almond tree
I stood I sat  I gazed
I bled shed tears

pale leaves like flames on me
its summer time I...

I forgive you my dear country
And her ignoramuses
To my televangelists who prophesy 
earthquakes
And hellfire
Instead of love and forgiveness
So they steal from the poor
To buy miracles from God;
To my shopkeeper who doubles the 
price
Of flour at...

Swapping and siphoning off layers upon layers of antique sprays is very very basic.  Antelopes occasionally make brick a brack piles to occupy even the most dormant of cloths. Opiniated eagle ducks soar above...

Have you seen the man whom my soul loves
does spring boundless like the antelopes afield
whose consumations thus give to herds their yield
like lightly soars in thermals flocks of doves
 
The strength of pillars in the...

An alert in a skirt is not skating today nor skiing either.

I like the kitchen nice and neat and therefore I can have something nice to eat. Not that I am bowed. Nor allowed. Something...

I dream of a time when earth is green and Spring is fresh 
And Summer’s sun bathes the soul and Autumn shows its 
Falling colors and Winter brings a Christmas shower white
And pure its beauty...

Wild child!
Have your father told you that the day
children  decided to go hunting, antelopes
learn to climb trees and snails develop wings
to fly home with yams from the local barns 
made for the old men...

Tell me America ,
Will you win this war ?
Will you bring cruelty to gallows ?


I see you daily here;
Left and right like pendulum,
Ups and downs like leaf-cutters,
Building army, building allies,
Pacing faster on trick’s ladder;
Still this...

Though my eyes are pouring
Yet I see very c l e a r l y.
Though thought make me heart scream
Still am full of strength,
Like the relay just began.

It seems my...

"The sounds of Earth is the music of my soul."

Narcissus woos a butterfly; waves strong,
Genteel stages filled pages; memoirs sound,
Earth graces life faces, pleased heaven bound,
Wrens and bluejays consonance their birdsong.

Lively swamplands prep and hopped...

paint me a face,
paint me one so blue that I can barely laugh or coo,
paint me till the colour of my skin no more exist,
but all you see is the gloom, 
 peering in sympathy...

Does the sun ever
feel depressed?
How long has it been
on antidepressants
for?
How can we tell when
the ocean cries?
Does the Earth ever
get tired of going
around in circles
Do meat eaters ever
get hungry for a
salad?
Do antelopes think
there's more to life
than...

- a brief tango -

I see from this pestering pedestal,
And what’s that I see?
Gazelles and antelopes of the Savannah
Or the deceits of a mooting brain?

I see them – a careful pick of a generation
In pairs...

My body has explained to me
That for walking it would better be
To use the aid of a cane or walking stick
So my wooden elephant cane does the trick

The mighty back of...

Hey there! You've cheated! The fish deck is stacked!
Never trust rabbits with side eye contact
They look at each other and not straight ahead
And deal themselves haddock, straight flush so it's said

Poison onion rings;
Bunion on a sling;
Rustic carriage bolts;
Shoe string eating, antelopes;

whose ya mad at, son;
when it all settles, when the feet hit the...

Moon goddess came to visit the forest last night
Riding on chariots driven by the velvet monkeys
Guarded by hornets and the armies of wasps
Beleaguered in obscurities by Obtaka the magician.

Don't trust those metaphors, my darling
They all lie
The wind is the air's alphabet 
The earth knows the cosmic way by heart
Birds sing from hunger 
Stars understand people 
Better than people understand each other

Down the steep mountains and into the slopes, 
Darting divine etched twixt duration and existence,
There run the graceful gazelles and fiery antelopes,  
Until their breath retreat watching other presence.

Wildebeests rushes by ceasing the opportunity...

Corrupt farm, disdainful politics
Corrupt farm, unedifying ethics

The Lion gorges the subservient animals but not grass page
Or even does he gobble other feeds in the forest sage

The pronghorns fight it hard to progress
And they feed with...
