Inevitable Death Defines Life
Inevitable death defines afterlife
I mull mortality

whar incessant yaks
exuding a big hurt

bipedal hominids replete roof lee wax

Encounter with guardian angel January 20th, 2022
We (myself and thee missus)
experienced shell shock
analogous to war weary soldiers
back home from the western front
experiencing battlefield flashback
analogous to awakening dormant
post traumatic stress disorder.
Mental health challenged renter
twice threatened us

A Letter To My Dead Daughter
My Love,
The sky reminded me of you today.
The sun set in lilac with a teasing tinge of pink—
just the way you used to love it.
On other days, the sky is yellow and murky,
reeking of sulphur...

Riding the Night Mare
Friends and foes of flesh and bone from me they have flown
A different company I keep in reveries of twilight sleep
When night’s dark blanket does fall, I begin to hear their call
Carriage wheels creak,...

Marrow Strain
I believe that writing is like spilling blood out of the carotid
Onto a canvas of sponge
This sponge can never be satiated
It takes generations and trillions of miles of neurons
Just to make a stain
My marrow is...

POESY TO (T)RAP
A poem for a competition is requested.
Who is the judge and what does s/he like?

he ambushes me from

inane flattery and take
into consideration
three screwdrivers deep

Lovely Lips
LOVELY LIPS
Her slow burn shimmy,
blows red kiss across the ballroom floor.
His raven dark hair,
hand in pocket,
slowly walks across the room,
captivating her breath.
He says nothing.
Only catches her eye.
Then takes her, into a powerful hold.
Slowly, they tango.

Masked Impressions
Masked impressions become conflicts of interest, when synonyms
Are exteriorly presented as such, but intrinsically are pure antonyms!
While the skies’ feelings are transparent with their idiosyncratic looks,
Are there personality barometers, to decipher our intents like open...

Life On Line
Oh, latest iPad, may I hang thee,

A Grinch, thou art and nothing more.
Causing me, endless problems galore!

Almost a tune, that puts me to shame.

Personification of Science
Like a mother of many faces
Many countenances

Images of Corruption
In the famed halls of tainted justice,
on granite pedestals,
stand carved images of corruption
Sculpted stone countenances,
with etched somber appearances,
pillar levitate in Roman atriums
of grand pall splendor
Wicked dead visages
placed disembodied erect
in the mausoleum corridors
Sullen...

An Ode To An Insidious Sensation
Beneath the translucent veil of placidity, emerged that sound
To all is pure evil forecasting the prelude of a prolonged agony

Italian Sonnet
In the Name of the Pope
Vanguard in death and deception,
Innocent hearts heed to his illusion.
Cry Mama Africa, cry for your children.
Angels with dark countenances are raised against them.
Rise black man, awake from your slumber,
Inactivate the medium that is deceiving you.

Whispers in the moonlight 26-10-23
Amidst the tranquil moonlit night, the forest murmured secrets.
The leaves rustled in hushed conversation,
the shadows in exuberance
darting from trunk to trunk,
languishing wherever the moonlight was absent.
Shreds of darkness form an eclectic collection of silhouettes,
dusting the...
