Long Dines Poems

Contemplating on a previous conversation with Job and his wife,
I drew a breath of relief, remembering my humbling purpose
Sin was imminent on my brow, though I was beyond its impetuosity
Suffering dines with long-lived perspective, sharpening...

“Jealousy”
Jimmy had odds to beat, one he was a black teen and the temptations of big city’s Streets. 
But a single black mother’s determination held his attention sternly,
So he had only Minimal interaction with streets.

Dreaming someday her Prince Charming she’ll meet
Someone to love and sweep her off her feet!

embers glow fierce and fires burn unabated.
Recalling her last breath and wish you were dead
in poem's last line, you've been beat and castrated.
From the heavens, a...

Under the flag of my country

Who bargain their souls for my redemption,

For many years, the creek, ran passed as a drain,
Polluted and unloved; a poisoned murky vein.
A favoured dumping place, for household unwanted things -

Richly content on their new ideals,
Suddenly an...

Another lyric composed
From a fractured mind
A vision blurred
Your picture twined

Your image shrined 
In majestic bows
Like sparkling rivers
Brightening glow

A hinderance, block
From sanity sweet
My passion for you
A tragedy deep

And everything is never as they seem
In memory distant past
And marriage just a fantasy Which never seems to last
When laughter is unheard even not for a while
And frowns replaces...

Within our world in a rush

when push comes to shove we need a hug

ghastly ghosts and goblins prepare to cause fright
with a chill in the air from a crisp Autumn breeze

A Propitiation of Blue Tears

On this highway to where the skies bleed blue tears into vases; 
on ornate buttresses they sit and saturate us, 
they cry and douse us,

With hope, cling; without hope, cling

Yours for pay be nothing,
If you lay on all thing.

Each man a piece,
Setting her your way be like...

A world full...
