Long Embeds Poems

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...

A MINISTER RETIRES :  
SOLILOQUY 

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

Source Light breathes into 
fontanelle slowly sleepily  
Sekmet my...

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?
No...

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...

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...

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
going on around
and within us,

I'm wearing a white 1970s vintage Tshirt
from Castro...

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
following them 
I swing around enormous trees 
skirt quickly...trying to catch up

were we holding hands as we walked
...did we hold hands?
I can't recall
but the muster...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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. 

The echo...

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 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...

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,...

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

Somewhere on another world 
in a far away galaxy,
Intelligent life forms built a telescope,
so powerful our planet they could see

I also built a similar contraption
then maxed out the zoom,
Now I witness these same beings

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...

Somewhere on another world, in a far away galaxy 
Aliens built a quantum-scope, our world they could see
I also built a similar contraption, and maxed out the lens

This clock ticks. Ticks away at what time I have left. Each second passing as another memory captured by my eyes like pictures embeds itself into the back of my mind. Locked away so deep...

A Cynosure of Sadness

As gun has that sense of humour in the trigger,
It triggered my mind that I clouded darkness in your happiness with sadness,
Sadness that is brewed from failure to curb the vase of...
