Now and Then and Now Again
1
Though still within our infancy,
we strive to thrive, but woefully
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

I arise as infant Phoenix
from Akasha ashes
counterparts frozen
with foibles intact
a still Arctic of death
sheath for recalibration

fontanelle slowly sleepily

My Heart Will Go On - POTD
POTD 30th August 2018
The gently swaying branches of the old oak should elicit calmness
And yet a sense of foreboding permeates the midnight air
Wild imaginings? Or did shadows flit across the leaf strewn path?

Love of Our Life
LOVE Of Our Life
Life’s journey swim links 2 defined moments - birth & death.
To survive its stretch we swim different strokes,
Delivered inner strength combats heavy tides & puncture pokes,
Hidden forces compatibly energize different folks,
Fortifying for...

Between Reality and Understanding
A thought arose...
In Hegel's great dialectic cotillion,
Time transcends as the Absolute emerges,
From deep submersion.
Veritably idealistic path to verity.
It is all about History!
While Schopenhauer's Will, By mere chance,
Drives life in concentric circles spinning,
But not winning
Human solicitations...

Please Do Panic
Writing yet another note to my straight white CongressMan,
asking him to Please, Do Panic
about all this fear-based non-legislation
undemocratic fascist
nationalistic Win/Lose evolutionary corrupt
democratic devolution

and within us,
I'm wearing a white 1970s vintage Tshirt

Citadel of Censorship
The noblemen control the pen, indeed they own the farm,
but nonetheless exude finesse (and need I mention charm?)
with revenue to sate the few, exulting arm in arm;
for all the rest, they wish the best and...

Haunted...
glowing foot falls on the dusted wooden planks cross the bridge

I swing around enormous trees

...did we hold hands?

Trip Twist
In the void, sipping the zoid,
with mental properties of tripping on the spiral.
Falling down the tail of lions, awkwardly spinning.
With upside down tunnel vision leaking through.
Solidifying all matter that matters,
melting into the walls of your...

My Africa; oh my beautiful Africa
Words of your past glories gladdens my heart
History embeds in her heart; stories of you Africa
Ages through ages; you gave birth to men of brave hearts
Expectation didn’t expect much...

Forever
One day I'll be preserved in sands of time;
glaring into diamond rays—white lights
the earth dissolves my flesh to fertile dust;
embeds treasures—secrets in a crackled skull
Metamorphosis—in the closet—white bones
the silver tusk of a unicorn; my wand
golden...

Alcoholism
Anger, guilt and pain,
those are the only emotions
I feel; my skin crawls whenever
my mind flashes those painful
memories that I try my best to
forget.
Mornings are normal; I do my
every day chores like clock-work.
The daily grind...

CANVASS OF OUR LIVES
Some people paint with their words,
Creating images with contrast and flow
That lift the hearts of others,
Inspiring both their spirit and soul.
Some paint with their life’s work,
Their canvases deeply composed
With connections to millions of people
Reflecting...

Their Last Hours
Sitting with her at their last hours,
studying her face as his mind devours.
Wishing this moment could be suspended in time,
avoiding their goodbyes up to Heaven she'll climb.
Married for years through the good and the bad,

The Lighthouse Beckons
The inevitable word ‘come’ coined by destiny,
embeds in the nascent awareness at a time precisely
when the eyes open to the distant lighthouse light,
journey begins with the warping waves out of sight.

Unconscious Bias
Life slithers satisfied in the self-made narrow furrow,
I incise in the known terrain to travel to tomorrow.
The journey I waver to take beyond the familiarity,
for the company of kinship is a kind of security.

A Life Lost
A dad he was to my man,
lost in a world of abuse.
Selling all he had in life,
to fund his addictions.
Digging flesh from bone,
stabbing bugs crawling wild.
Demons appear in torment,
beaconing him deeper.
A knife into...

The rage of a tired black woman
Rage.
Fury.
A constant burning anger.
A rage stemmed from generations of those who have come before me
An inheritance we have the right to own
Something passed through each black child born
One that clings to our skin and...

Just Me, Just You
Don’t judge me by the color of my skin,
A hue, a shade, just where I begin.
My voice may echo through a line unseen,
Yet my heart beats strong, vibrant, and keen.
Do judge me by my name,...

I Am Undone
She breathes heavily
The sand bag
rocks
tilts
it stops
she chokes
gasping
engulfing wisps of air
Sweat running down her body
She screams
love me he says
Smiling
She laughs
She looks down
To the her torn and bloodied knuckles
A ring that was required upon her hand

Oh Love
When love finds a man,
She makes him a child,
A slave,
A servant,
Strikes his manhood to childhood,
He becomes a child to obey.
Oh love
Oh love
When love steals a man’s heart,
He becomes a follower,
He forgets his strength,
He gives up...
