Habitants of the wilderness;
Identify their beauty and acknowledge it-
They wear neither clothes nor makeup.
Yet,they still appreciate their differences;
Each of them in their innocent making.

I am a resident of the human kingdom,
I am a descendant of...

African sun

African sun African sun,
The sun that differed
from any sun in the world.
You kill and scorch all the disable
Creatures in African world.
You're a paradigm during all
arid complicates.
You torture and wallop 
By your excess heat because
We're...

Sunsets; sky's colored; red, orange, and yellow
I walked by the frozen voices of the birds' songs

A lake accompanied my journey towards a "destination unknown"
The fish had to text their goodbyes, for darkness approached their royal...

A barred spiral galaxy in the Giraffe
has one of the arms curled in front of its core
where dust laden lanes in the grouping outpour
as Hubble has shown it for earthlings’ behalf.

Some sort of encounter perhaps...

The shadow of a tree 
has fallen on the morning garden.

It moves with slow steps
and leaves its trail of frost,
as if it were telling the time
as the day progresses.

The grasses, freed from its embrace
sing a...

A lofty aerie - a fair city beam
With stately air a queen, she stands - 
A gem - over these most forest...

LOYALTY AND ROYALTY REQUIRED
It was castle building time
A home for a charming prince 
and a princess who was sometimes aloof
Time for royalty to have a roof
A ceiling should the sky fall in
Or if a falling...

Once upon a time there were tiny habitants
Dwelling between the bloomed wild flowers 
Waiting for the right human who free them 
A heart of gold that unknowns the evilness

A girl named Tracey was playing in...

Soft, affectionate, confident, fluffy,
curious, snuggly, cuddly, loving,
independent, intelligent, friendly and playful

Cautious, sneaky, creepy, mean,
attacker, mysterious, moody, evil, 
mischievous, vicious, aggressive, and hateful 

Spiritual, adventurous, explorer, and survivor by nature;
walkers, they enjoy walks too..
Depending on the...

Once upon a time,
on a planet called earth,
the habitants had jobs,
they loved to work.
Many had homes,
kids, and cars,
some even pools,
in their very own yards.
Paying taxes,
they never complained,
doing their part,
proud of their gains.
Then something happened,
a slow...

Barefooted, I keep sliding
Shuffling down the Long Grass Street
To the fountain of Poseidon
Where some ageless people meet
Think it’s time to see my friend
And a dog of hers as well
Time to talk about the end
If there’s...

I rot alone in my prison house
my shakes and splits are now voluntary
the voices soothe me and rock me
I alone am privy to my lock box of sins
the drugs and questions posed are pointless
my mental...

Imagine,
picture, if you will,
a glass bowl, clear crystal --
a bubble.
Create, therein,
an atmosphere,

amber, flint, obsidian
and cloudy quartz.
Introduce a coral branch
and set a sprig, dark green, 
of kelpy moss.
Disperse -- suspend...
