Black and beautiful the crown of any man’s heart they are bewitched by her soul and her warmth.
My sweet sister draws you in with her smile, any man can find comfort in her arms.
She walks with a purpose, confident and pride knowing who she is... the queen of the Nile.
Without a doubt, her blood is royal strong and black like coffee with no cream not afraid to say what she means. No is no… yes is yes… no arguments after, no time for a debate.
My sweet sister, a woman full of hope and grace always on a mission, she knows her purpose and her place. My strong beautiful black African sister.
Zillions of pray'rs God hears each day -
appeals from citizens with hope.
Pleading for lands in disarray,
"Guide us, O God of sovereign scope."
Zillions of pray'rs God hears
from home and work and schools
from kids and engineers.
"Guide us, O God Who rules."
Zillions of pray'rs
said from this place,
"O God Who cares,
guide us with grace."
Zillions -
folks who obey
as well-armed civilians.
Zillions of pray'rs God hears each day.

Beautiful angel a soul's destination flies
High above on gossamer wings delicately
Circling between heaven and earth as soul keepers
Eclipsing the light seraph twitches softly gaze
Touching inside one bond never to be broken
An angelic message shown to the earth dwellers
A celestial sphere nacreous spirit falling
Grace kissing ataraxia sweetly embraces
Deep spiraling sentiments shape mosaics of minds
Kneeling at your feet royal mother of pearl clouds
Standing right before the eyes undying spirit
Pure shafts of wondrous gold has lit the earth tonight.
Gracious beauty floats upon a breathless air wave
Delicately enchants your sweet rendering praise
Bright faces all rise up to such mesmeric glare
Heaven sparkle in the glistening shining eyes
Love's fire burns inside reflection that smiles warm
And all mankind with open arms can only stare.
Guardian of this cosmos beyond dreams sails east
we become a single structure bound together
In cosmogyral dance around a starry floor
In space filled words evaporating straight out sighs
The mind blissfully colliding sparks kisses dust
Gazing through an endless flickering mass of light
Sprinkles on two stars cluster in magic wishes
Granting on the trail ethereal red glitters
Heavenly energy shines down to save all souls
Diamond blue gem sends cosmic shock waves twinkling
Brightly flickering blinding light upon one star
Poured on our world to save us from evil darkness
Orbiting around this earth glows raising upwards
Filled with divine energy rotating halo
Beams fly in sunshine beauty embraces angel
A Collaborated Poem with Liam McDaid, Michael McCabe and Angeline Lim
alexandrine unrhymed Tercets
As my soul floats in tensed darkness,
My heart beats in lifeless starkness,
A faint hope pierces my despair,
As my knees glued firm to prayer.
I soared with sour taste of my sores,
My favours, all burned to vapours,
Poverty beckoned with stern stare,
As my knees glued firm to prayer.
Friends stayed far to gloat my sorrow,
Night stretched long, no hope for morrow,
Sadness comes with relentless scare,
As my knees glued firm to prayer.
My spirit cried for God's favour,
His grace became my sole saviour,
Right from then I enjoyed his care,
As my knees glued firm to prayer.
In an inkling
Sunlight flickers out
Hidden behind dark clouds
Dimming even my reflections
In an inkling
Raindrops caress my skin
Refreshing, reviving
Even my thoughts are adventures
In an inkling
Leaves in hues of green
Dance, twirling in the wind
Enlightening my wildest dreams
In an inkling
Rivers flow across smooth stones
So alive, yet so alone
Winding their way toward the sea
In an inkling
Seasons change the air
Gracing hearts with prayers
Peppering life with serenity so rare
In an inkling
Rainbows breathe hope
Painting souls in shades of glory
Gentling even the blistering sun
In an inkling
Morning rouses the spirit
Reveries capture kind feelings
Inspirations fall over nature’s miracles
In an inkling
God opens the door for joy
Blessing us all with pure faith
Poured out on those who know grace
In an inkling
Love beckons the heart
Inspiring affections and thoughts
Of generosity, understanding and praise
In an inkling
My idyll thoughts flicker
With images far in the distance
Of a heaven where I can grow sweeter

(This is called Double Rhyming Sonnet. The front of
the lines also rhyme abab, etc.)
Oh, who can say when time began or ends?
The universe engulfs all creatures here.
But you can see how sun’s glow ever blends
to moonlight in time’s never ending sphere.
And when you think our world has learned it all,
new cosmic truths emerge to show man’s fate,
so then you realize we are so small. . . . .
but jaws of everlastingness await!
They gape, and though you see no end in sight;
you think that all is finished when we die?
Escape from dreary earth means taking flight.
A wink is time spent here! You won’t deny,
when face to face with God, that life’s not done!
In space of endless grace, it’s just begun.
Karma, grace, incarnation,
evolution, progress, enculturation,
pick whichever label fits for you,
are like composting souls and soils,
regenerating dispossessed stuff
within myself, society, Earth.
With compost we extract what we cooperatively invest,
both nature with my nurture,
through Ego's intent
and Earth's Logical polycultural nutrient-praxis.
Soil and humane nature's egosoul enrichment
as bicultural co-redemption
compost two layers
of one ecotherapeutic process;
Browns are decomposing Yin function
and Greens are resonant resolving Yang form.
Just-right balance cooperative water,
avoids dehydration and toxins,

I've become inordinately attached
to cooperative health-trends
of EgoMe without EcoWe
as one of my less-well-performing compost piles.
Even so, we keep stirring.
Before I could walk or say my ABCs
My little heart was protected and you had the keys
It's kind of funny but I didn't know at the time
Looking back I see how you filled my spirit and brought me peace of mind
When Miss Insomnia would to keep me up and busy all night
Now, I see that it was your loving hands that held me so tight
When I was lost in the concrete jungle just trying to find my way
There you were all the time, softly saying, "I'm here; it's okay."
At last! After all these years, I'm so grateful for your mercy and grace
Sweet Serendipity with timing so perfect as we commune in this sacred place
From the very beginning, you chose me
Unknowingly, I chose you too; now my soul dwells with thee
Where silver spray explodes against the stone,
A dryad* steps from willow-boughs of jade,
To seek the rushing water’s deep, cold tone,
And find the sprite within the foaming glade.
With gossamer and wings of morning light,
The fairy hovers o’er the river’s roar,
A spark of golden dust in rapid flight,
Descending where the waters wash the shore.
The nymph, with eyes as dark as mountain rain,
Reaches to touch the creature’s fleeting glow,
As if to bridge the divide of her domain
And catch the grace the soaring spirits know.
They meet where nature’s wild and rushing breath,
Defies the quiet stillness, life, and death.
I have a peaceful easy feeling
As I sit and write this poem
Comprising 5 old songs
Which remind me of my home
They show me the importance
They teach me with such grace
To get up every morning
With a smile on your face
My youth was filled with ballads
Verses I could trust
And we all know what memories bring...
They bring dia-monds and rust
Songs taught me that my friends were
The wind beneath my wings
To treasure and embrace them
To value what life brings
There's a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
For me, 'bout sums it up
The hope one feels within
Sometimes a simple sound
Or smell can be so strong
It carries me back light years
To one specific song
And in that song I bask
I know what each line means
Transcended to the past
Dressed in my tie-dyed jeans.
Eagles – Peaceful Easy Feeling
Carol King - Beautiful
Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust
Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings
