When happened he across a fawn
Tied amid, a...

My heart skips a beat and my knees turn weak
Your eyes lock with mine in a fleeting glance
In a ricochet of emotion I just cannot speak 

Our time...

in vibrant intensities 
with unique undertones
of green acquirable only in a

its petals beckons awareness of those very 
strokes that live in the lustre of your shapely...

Karl Marx
created the communist manifesto
because looking at the capitalist world
the wealthy abused the poor

The wealthy enjoyed abundant lifestyles
well everybody else became slaves money
the wealthy getting wealthier 
well wages were eroded

to the crippling effects of ownership
that our ancestors allowed to control the world

You always aspired to the distinguished air
That tends to attend the depths of despair,
Strove to emanate the sophistication
You associate will suicidal tendencies

Wallow in an elegant depression,
A pretty little picture perfect portrait
Of a contemporary damsel in...

In times of petulance,
fate is persecuted in a silent storm.

Through troublesome chapters,
where words remain unspoken,
sacred scriptures become
mindless memoirs.
Shades of black discolour
visions of rising ripples,
as love stories slowly sour and
are cast away like lost poems.

Can it...

KP: With embellishment aborted, 
sidewalk and street talk wail from paper. 
Tears vividly seen because cursive one's don't wipe away. 
An intrinsic institution allergic to plagiarized allegiance, 
we're born and bred to bleed blue from...

I know that there is no life without love; 
Only a brutal half-life, shadowed, a ghost of an existence 
And I know that there is no love without life 
And I know, too, that without...

I was born through the whispered wish 
of angel
purple clouds draped
my newborn sky
I tasted dreams
in chocolate ice-cream swirls 
the tender embrace of bruised knees 
and flushed cheeks 
guided me through childhood

I soared high 
on a...

BURLAP and SATIN

Texture fine, woven design
Like harden tree sap
Rough is the burlap!!!

The dress rapped around her waist

Burlap and satin

Give me such touch my reactions
Hard rough...

I’m with a partner, on occasion, if I’m lucky,
But just as luck is, it’s never there for long.
Family and friends are always around,
Yet no matter who’s there, alone I am.
Always the lover, never the loved,

PAIN AND LONGING 


Reluctant wood lay
marbled down His spine
as His passion extracted
His strength in diamond 
drops daggered 
my hip pain a micro
misplay of that which 
nailed His truth : 
Our bodies messages 
carrying might and...

Gladly the rag falls dead beside the kitchen sink,
Grey and brown with coffee grounds and spillage,
Dripping pensive ochre on the rim,
Sombrely it slipped over the brink
And stank of rape and pillage.

It was just lust
How do I express my feelings to you?
When all you gave were just the connection to paradise 
How do I let myself in?

Feel the rush

Of the energy

As we speed headlong

Down the crevasse

Of our dreams

Spiralling down

Through nightmares

In and out of light and hope

Then back into darkness

Then back into shadows

Whispering echoes

Screams and euphoric cheers

Insane laughter

Painful tears

Solace and solitude

Riotous places

Unable...
