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...

These thoughts i have of you in my head.
I want them gone and dead.
In the past for you i bled.

Excitement for most - for him an impending hell
A torturous journey - that takes him down life’s dark path
His old friend ‘Panic’ enters causes a disturbing wrath

I made for you, a castle
but I built it in the sand
I steadfastly tried

with needs to see us through
but the ripened fruits
had corrupted...

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.

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 Vision

All that I asked was to see it again,   the Vision I had of the All,
It was crystalline clear and filled up my soul,   but now it’s beyond my recall,

The Power of One

Slowly shadows devour the day’s light,
The silhouette of fear draws breath 
From the soul left gasping,
A firestorm of fury gathering,
Like mists of plagues escaping
From an ancient land of sand and tombs
With locusts...

but first you gotta rid
yourself of all that fakery,
the constructed rhyme
like rye and flour primed
to exit out the bakery,

Oh! Sir!

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

...I think the counterbalance is
our craving for community,
and not the local government,
no, the things we enter freely.
I’m talking about your neighbors,
your churches and your civic clubs,
things we build in the private space,
where you hang out...

would rescue me ~ or single mine,
until the tear ~ I boldly sought
to do it all, with lessons taught!

And then the rope, its' tighter reign
as trouble found my strength...
