a Gay Black Religious Mature Male,
not quite ready for silver-grey Obama temples

Is off this morning
to a new full-time job,
8 to 5,

regular custodial collared routine,
for over...

does this Garden have everything we need,
do you think the walls are too tall,

what did Lilith know, where did she go

white knight still mourns swindled money
Lynne Costello Senior Civil Investigator
(assistant to Philadelphia attorney general)
unable to recoup forfeited funds.

While holed up in castle keep,
(albeit fetchodit...

Where do these tears come from? My makeup
is melting in the spotlight. She has gone.
Oh, how I wished to tell her… I did not.

I left California a week ago Sunday.
Alone with my map, I found the way.
Initial trepidation gave way to wonder.
Beauty of the land enhances the spell I'm under.

From Novato to Tahoe, the drive was slow.
Allowing the...

At peace perhaps too much
a fine Spring rain
we seek news from the desert or capitol
of those who have dedicated their lives to losing their lives for us
adventurers, ancient honor, land runners

His granite form against blue skies
Rippling on the bulging eye, wild waves
Of muscles the netting cloud defies
Reason in concrete, his pride raves
In self glory of athleticism, what a gem
Hard and shadowed without a diadem.

Just when we chase after our dreams, a strange guest emerged 
lurking behind the shadows of yesterday,
as it travels through borders everyone wish it would remain a foreign disease.

From what I have seen
America is a well-oiled machine
Our military always ready to fight
Together with so much might
Leaving their homes night after night
Saying goodbye believing it's not your last sight
Living in a hole with rations...

When 
our 
stories 
shall 
be 
told 
and 
our 
chronicles

denounce 
such 
shameful 
tales?, 
what

without

a

Sometimes I wonder why I'm on this muddy path,
sometimes I wonder if I've incurred gods wrath,
sometimes I wonder when death will have me caught,
sometimes I wonder if all my endeavors will add up to nought,

You can return to earth for two days they said, 
but not in that worn out body.
I knew that; and I was glad; it was almost blind, 
and had a touch of dementia any way.

I’m well rested on this bed of cold cement
With passersby borrowing me their eyes for a blanket
Oblivious to the fact that I now lay victorious 
Adding salt to my open wounds

We never knew She-Fee really. She was our cousin, but
She was banished practically the first time my parents saw her.
Strange my father pronounced almost immediately.
My mother was horrified by her command of adults.

We were drawn...

We are not what others say we are;
rather, we are what nature has made us

I 

king of the hostile quasar ! 
stelliferous beast without origin 

anechoic void-crown usurper of the throne without end

The sun sparkles
On last night's snowfall
A blissful wind
Causes snow to dance
The sky is a rainbow
A rare delight
To the bunnies below
And to the wandering eyes
Of a lone child

Eyes wide like saucers
She observes the grace
Of the eternal...

That came to me in the light of the dark
On fire from the very start
Life itself could not pry our love apart
Meeting in the middle like a dancing...

A repetitive stamp on a passport
can expedite our joyous first meeting.
Love spurs a nervous heart
towards a new, unknown life.
