Mild weather greeted the week late November
as mid sixty temps held steady.
The sun so bright and warm
draped cloudless skies of deep dark blue.
Leaves floated wistfully, gliding gentle and soft
waltz dancing on the air.
Strewn across the grass a palette of bladed color leaves
I raked them tenaciously into piles.
Resting momentarily more fell from the naked trees
while they still exuded shade.
The cool crispness settled in
as I gathered broken branches for the fire.
Stacked them methodically to sear the fire pit
and I set the fires ablaze.
It smoldered smoky gray ashen at first
from the mix of dry brown leaves and small twigs.
Then burning hot and warm with rising flames
it warmed the stones and ignited the heat.
The momentary break beckoned me
to linger hovering to stay warm.
I watched the flames burn orange and red
licking the wood and lapping its moisture.
As evening set and the fire died,
wind found its way
Oncoming clouds and gusts darkened the sky
dropping temperatures ten, twenty, thirty degrees.
Rapidly a north west storm blew in
dressed in thunder and lightning streaks
A mix of rain and snow settled in
slipping in loud, fast and cold
announcing winter’s sudden arrival.
Some sounds like the noise of bees
Hovering around the atmosphere
Or like rain drops on our roof tops,
I opened my round window
The window of my hut,
I wanted to know
Why my sleep won't mellow,
All i saw was sorrow
As the atmosphere turned green.
The cassava farm was over shadowed
Banana plantation feebled,
Apple orchard struggled
Yet their efforts stifled,
Lemon grass for mama's herb withered,
Rose flower shattered and our
Groundnut farm tattered.
Suddenly,the green army fled,
Tears exuded from my eyes
As i sputtered in pain,
Mother filled with melancholy,
Father tore his heart in grief
Villagers hope captured and crippled,
So their travail displayed as
Everyone mourned over
The locust plaque.....
BY: CHARLES MELODY (LIGHTNING INK).
The lion, as king of the jungle, did convene
the biggest meeting of animals you have ever seen.
There were rhinos and kangaroos from down south,
and a polar bear with forty-two teeth in his mouth.
Fish swam in from the sea, and birds flew from the sky.
Even the turtle set his watch and, on time, dropped by.
The news was carried by the waves and the breeze.
In solidarity, they were joined by plankton and trees.
Yep, everyone was there, from predator to prey.
The lion had some serious concerns to convey.
He opened his great mouth. He spoke and he roared,
"We must solve our problem. Are you all aboard?
A virus has spread across the planet of earth.
We must join forces to fight it for all we are worth.
This coward will kill us with guns and greenhouse gasses.
It's time for the rising of the animal masses,
or the only plant or animal that remains
will live in an ugly city or farm, domesticated in chains.
We've identified the pathogen. We now need a plan
to eradicate the ape who calls himself man.
We must locate this creature's Achilles heel
and take down the one who thinks he's a big deal.
Let's send him to kingdom come, leaving not a trace,
to give earth's kingdom back to us, its rightful place.
We know the beast is morally bankrupt and cruel.
How can we purge him and start our renewal?"
An owl said, "man is uniquely dumb and deluded.
Have you ever seen such stupidity exuded?
All we have to do is leave the humans be.
Our enemy will do himself in, don't you see?",
and then he added with a hoot and a sigh,
"but first, how many of us will have to die?"
Saying Goodbye to a Web of Deception**
When did it become so effortless for him to weave his lies? Was it after their first anniversary, when the glow of their love began to fade? He meticulously plotted his betrayals, crafted intricate plans, and willingly cheated, transforming himself into a mastermind of deceit. Meanwhile, she wore her mask of a devoted mother and loving wife, concealing her pain as she smiled for their children. In public, she exuded warmth, but behind the closed doors of their home, she was a prisoner of her sorrow, tears streaming down her face in the silence of the night.
Then, that fateful summer night arrived—a turning point. She reached her breaking point and declared, “No more, no more.” When did it become so easy for him to betray the trust they once shared? Now, the scorned wife finds herself on death row, an ironic smile gracing her lips, revealing a chilling absence of remorse.
When did it become so simple to bid farewell to the tangled web of lies that defined her life?
In the midst of red evening, leaves fall from the sky,
Yielding lavish hues and vibrancy, to gathering dusk.
Under a pearl moon, twirling leaves wave goodbye,
To warmer, brighter, gold days, in the pale stardust.
Yielding lavish hues and vibrancy, to gathering dusk,
Pretty, migratory birds, are taking the longest flight,
To warmer, brighter, gold days, in the pale stardust,
And final blooms of the season, add a cool goodnight.
Pretty, migratory birds, are taking the longest flight,
But all the departed will return again one blithe day.
And final blooms of the season, add a cool goodnight.
Exuded fragrances thrill the scene of lovely disarray.
But all the departed will return again one blithe day,
Under a pearl moon, twirling leaves wave goodbye,
Exuded fragrances thrill the scene of lovely disarray,
In the midst of red evening, leaves fall from the sky.

The Righteous Traveler
Beneath a sprawling maple tree a weary traveler sat.
Everything he owned affixed to his back.
A tattered bible he clutched in his hands
He looked destitute, but was a wealthy man.
For he possessed a wealth that could not be spent
and exuded purified love wherever he went
Heartless woman called him names unjustified
When she was done, she fell down and died
The rejected traveler knelt by her side
He prayed as he worked to save her life
Undefiled faith, his resuscitation device
As medics arrived, she opened her eyes,
“Was I touched by you? she frantically cried,
For heavens sake - I wish I had died!”
The lady who was not very nice,
slipped on a patch of unseasonal ice
then fell to the ground and lost her life
Town folks came and encircled kind man
Everyone wanted to shake his hand
Embarrassed by what they'd heard and seen
How could the woman have been so mean
The man who had not spoken a single word
Held out his hand and summoned a bird
The bird opened its brilliant beak and said
“Be careful of the things you say and do
for Almighty God is watching you."
Belongings secured, He bid the crowd ado
The righteous traveler just passing through.
I was so looking forward to my trip to Tahiti
this was to be my panacea, a sure cure for all my ails.
For once there I could forget the dregs of big city life
and swim the opal sheen of a chatoyant sea, in tranquil peace.
Arriving in my loudest vacation garb, I felt at ease
in my role of cynosure, strutting like a movie star.
All to soon I was whisked off...to the glamour and opulence
that awaited me at my ineffable, unbelievably posh hotel/palace.
There I was royally greeted, by a true ingénue beauty
the epitome of grace, she exuded a gentle demure and friendly manner.
She was like a gazelle...swift and yet lissome
with an indelible smile that seemed sempiternal, and omnipresent.
And in the sweetest, mellifluous song like voice
she softly whispered...“welcome to paradise.”
My sorrowful spirit rose high above the rainbow,
higher yet, until it reached the snowy peaks
of the ragged mountain. It was cold there,
though above the severe sun blazed hard.
Here and there rivulets tumbled roughly
down the mountainsides, and occasionally
meet to form a river that cascaded downwards
towards the high cliff beneath the hills.
The icy waters fell towards the crags,
forming a waterfall of fresh water, producing
a constant melody as the waters hit the plain,
forming a delightful and narrow lake.
Birds above twittered delightfully,
a serene sight and sound that pleased my sad spirit.
Tall verdant pines exuded delightful fragrance.
How I wish I could stay there forever.
But my tired body beckoned
and my spirit returned to my lonesome solitary bed.
Your love piggy bank.
I need you to breathe your love into me;
I want to take you deep within.
You are the one who understands how to make me feel like a man;
You give me strength, you offer wisdom
And you have given me all you can.
So I thank you for every drop of effort you have exuded,
Because I don’t think without it,
We would ever have made it.
You try to make me happy, so I shall persevere;
I will do all I can to please you, every time you are near.
I will lift you up, when you fall;
I will open every single opportunity door.
I will do whatever it takes to make your life easier
And if you need me to, I will run through a brick wall.
I will keep all promises and every compliment that I give,
Will hopefully hit its target; let none of them miss.
I will shower you in kisses
And lay down a red carpet for you to walk upon;
I shall confess my feelings for you, to all who can hear,
Through my poetry and through my songs.
I will stand at your side
And protect you from any harm that may come your way;
I will be here if you need me and at your side I will stay.
In times of ill harvest, I will fill your love piggy bank
And when the good times have returned,
I will never take my love back; it is yours to have.
I have an endless amount of love in my hands
And my heart will never run out.
I am yours to love forever
And to you I will forever remain faithfully devout.

A Passage To Madness?
Radiant spirit embraces this bleeding heart
to extinguish the past
Old wounds afflicting my mind your tender
touch magically mended
Stars appear swaying in a serpentine dance
mesmerizing iridescent gems...
Amidst darkness you ignited like candlelight
exuded warmth and trust
Words expressed love energizing worn aging
flesh floundering unbounded
A kiss planted on mine from her ethereal lips
bestowed gifts and priceless dreams...
Might this be pure illusion or a divine reality?
Time travels while I ponder my mental acuity.
