Long Envisaging Poems

A broken thought holds meaning
Even though its not completed
A broken dream shines, envisaging
Even though its not really alive
A broken smile brings a sweetness
Even though its not always smiling
A broken tear falls from the soul
Even though...

When your heart touched mine,
There was joy – there was fire, more than just desire,
A promise melted every darkness, erased every shadow,
Taught me that the light could figure out my wants,
Shower me in feelings that...

Thank You, Lord – 

What more could I possibly say… You’re the answer,
You inspire me to pray, then You reply with Your kindness,
Your gentle song, stirring my heart to believe, to see –
In You, there...

It is not 
sickness that I
am afraid of
It is not 
disease that 
makes
me tingle
It is not the 
number of 
days
months and 
periods I go
hungry that 
makes me 
shiver

It is your 
demise
that makes 
me dizzy

I never...

Forgive – scripture speaks
Silencing the bitter past, the resentments
The anger and doubt, the suffering

Forgive – God instructs
Delivering mercy, grace, compassion
Never judgement or sentence
No verdicts of imprisonment

Forgive – His word directs
Listen to the heart, the Holy...

Are we less superior to ourselves than realization?
Our temporary shell, our salt, our generation.
Our streamers flutter like snow in Antarctica.
longing and valid expansion, made of mica.

Striving to liberate us, it rips apart its body.
Once again,...

Hope lingers in the fold of  Angel wings
 Symbol, here on Earth, of all things gentle hearted
You carry us when all in life is darkening

You steady us and guide our feet from faltering
Although ...

Moon concealed by shadow of Grim Reaper
Under guise of the gloomy clouds of storm –
Reason enough to stay at home and not
Dread the deadly, wary walk at midnight.
Eerie noises from the rumbling thunder, 
Rats scuttling...

Lies are inclusive
Truths are not
Think before you speak
That's what everybody taught

Envisaging is something
Which is not permitted
And I cannot foster the crops 
That I myself cultivated

I'm slammed on with the ideas
Which are not even good
But I've...

Ode to my Grand Best friend

My grand best friend, you inspire me this night.
I love the way you look, wallow and run,
Invading my mind day and night, the light,
Always dreaming about the great mock sun.

Chalk-white faces, chapped lips and infected footsoles,
Harmattan, she has come again, announcing her 
presence like a proud royalty's entourage.

Mothers clad their infants in thick clothes 
like north pole elves,
motorcyclists cruise around town with watery eyes...

Blue Dream

How i wish my hands stay to hold
The one am envisaging,
That eclipse my Vision to stand
And say.....ooh!,when blue of the dream
Lits for real.

How today the blue must show its colour
For see the very one...

Uncalled Storms
 I have been on a merrily sailing voyage 
 but it started to tremble with an impromptu stormy rage
 
waves went subversive, wrecking my body with pain
 dismantling the harmony flowing through my...

What a great idea at St Mary's by the Sea,
Surplus food is offered for free.
Take some out or put yours in
If too old, there's a pig food bin.

Thoughtfully built community cupboard,
Snug shelter for all that...

The sirocco of Sahara I face
Tread barchans of crescent dunes
This lion-like lightning is looking for lunes
Sleep soundly in the comfort of thorns
And be stuck in a swamp
Escape from the nest!
Alas! It’s not where you belong
