Strategically placed when raised 
Upwards
By your masterful and well 
Practiced hand.
To mingle with ever changing 
Skylines 
That frown down with arrogant 
Scowls
Upon the indigenous populous of 
This just and tolerant island.
To study and pontificate upon...

Ok...
These thoughts i have of you in my head.
I want them gone and dead.
In the past for you i bled.
I wanna take all our memories and shred.
This feeling is the one i dread.
Look at my...

Time to go home there’s that cursed bell
Excitement for most - for him an impending hell
A torturous journey - that takes him down life’s dark path

I made for you, a castle
but I built it in the sand
I steadfastly tried
to constrain the tide
but the bastions didn't stand

and all the West lies smoldering in flames.

upon whomever...

Thomas Hardy the Poet, spoke with me last night,
Speaking of his thoughts, as I sat in bed upright,
Though twas in a dream, I never thought it strange,
That we enjoyed a moment for literary exchange.

In the deepest chasms of my soul, where shadows whisper secrets to the light,
A magical and melancholic poem unfolds, with equal verses, tightly woven.
Inspired by the nature of the poet, that solitary soul who perceives...

SINGLE MOM DOUBLE HONOUR

Tears won't dilute your strength
Your mood won't make it less of who you are. 
You're not broken but a token that is indispensable
A fraction that's left and yet inevitable. 
That's who you...

Mr. and Mrs. Medusa
Put their huge hats on their heads
To constrain their hair that always
Looks like they just got out of bed 

They drove off to the hair salon
Even though they remembered
That when her mom...

The silhouette of fear draws breath

but first you gotta rid
yourself of all that fakery,
the constructed rhyme

to exit out the bakery,
and you cannot, should not
loaf, or doubt anything
you ever wrote, it's progress-
but...

Great teachers changed the world for me,
I sometimes dreamed of teaching too!
"Yet, 'gift' to teach!" stays blasphemy
While 'taught' to teach still make kids blue!
The Peace Corps pushed some faults aside,
Grace opened doors to serve...

If i could retake my life to bake again, 
I’d say exactly where, what and when, 
To my family and fundamentalist church, 
To those with importance as a crutch.

Just a child in the minds of most nations

There was hope and grace in my foundations

Are you none that glories in the flesh?
who thinks this will bring you salvation
so fear not persecution for Christ's cross
but believe in Christ alone for justification

Give no time to circumcision or the like
nothing will save...
