her forbidden luv

Despite the peril,
Our love isn’t sterile
We are a fine pair…
Then, strikes the despair…

I’m sorry I was unprepared…
Our love cannot be shared…
I’m despaired…torn apart…
From the start, have a heart

Her touch of her hands…
Are like birds fluttering and flocking…at ease, so please don’t stop flying today
In such liberating lands 
Her voice vibrates vivaciously, interlocking vibes of vibrant violin vanities…echoing away 

Her poetic passion blossoms like maroon-pink flowers in spring…
Her branches sink to the ground and the roots of her being is to bring…
Down the forbidden, nostalgic and sorrow-ridden individuals she was infatuated with and had a special, unique adoration and ravishing devotion towards them
She is a gracious, glorious cave-emboldened gem, shining triumphantly in the midst of Bethlehem 

Mending all wounds, meddling and fiddling with guitars of gratitude along the way
She frolicked in the woods of my mindset and sipped away the regret…her tears overflowing with dismay
But, then she fearlessly stood up after a grand fall 
She shall never be left in appall, her appealing, revealing voice of awe is her final battle call

She wanted so immensely to be intimate with her true love
The first kiss didn’t work out as planned and it came amiss to her heartstrings
She plucked dandelions of lamentation from her lips of heaven Above
She’s a mistress of distress and can come across as a butterfly with beautiful, lovely and precious wings

Despite the peril,
Our love isn’t sterile
We made our share of love
Then, strikes the despair of…
Such an emaculate, endearing and shimmering snow dove
Our love isn’t dull
She is Queen of beauty after all

She is crowned Queen of beauty after all

Fifty Some Years Ago

(Taking headlines from October 1964,
the poem revisits our shared experience ...)

Monday 5: Fifty-Four East Germans Tunnel to Freedom

Back then, it was not in doubt,
(Richard Burton Tony Quinn):
the Wall was there to keep us out?
No – built, in fact, to keep them in.

Thursday 8: Beatles Release “She’s a Woman”

My love don’t give me presents.
East is east and west is west –
Ringo passed his driving test –
Blofeld looks like Donald Pleasence.

Monday 12: The Moog Synthesizer Makes Its Debut

It’s fantastic!  It’s so new!
Music made in outer space!
Now we’ll win the missile race!
How we love you, Doctor … Who?

Wednesday 14: Martin Luther King Awarded Nobel Peace Prize

Hypatia, Gandhi, Jesus Christ
and Socrates … he was that good:
and just like them, he knew he would
so very soon be sacrificed.

Wednesday 14: Khrushchev Deposed

Now, here’s a man who really tried.
It’s thanks to him, that Cuba fright
didn’t end in Nuclear Night.
Reward?  His thugs brush him aside.

Wednesday 21: My Fair Lady Film Premiere

Can a statue have a heart?
Can what’s vulgar morph to art?
Entertainment as idea?
Tin Pan Alley’s Galatea.

Monday 26: Eric Edgar Cooke Executed, Western Australia

Cleft palate, hare lip.
Bullied here, bullied there.
Mumbling moron, bloody crip.
Then they hang him.  Life ain’t fair.

Thursday 29: Audacious Diamond Robbery in New York

Banner headlines in the papers.
Daring crimes, coolest capers.
They’re classy crooks, they’ll fence their loot
in Buenos Aires, or Beirut. 
(In the real world, how'd it go?
Look at 31 below.)

Saturday 31: Lyndon Johnson Proclaims the Great Society

Nothing novel, or unique:
his vision was for Uncle Sam
to help the luckless, tend the weak.
One word destroyed him.  Vietnam.

Saturday 31: New York Diamond Robbers Caught

Tiffany studs?  More Studs L. Terkel.
One rock alone, a hundred grams,
Murph the Surf’s men on the lam:
they didn’t make Columbus Circle.

Saturday 31: Goose Kills Astronaut

Theo Freeman was his name,
test-pilot/astronaut his game.
Ejector seats are not much use
against a full-grown Galveston goose.

Silly you

They told you, "You deserve a speedy trial,
On you no scrum of jackals pile
They said you'd know each charge they bring,
And as for rights, every man a king.

They told you that your speech was free,
That you could choose your company.
Your home's your castle, safe and firm,
And you can keep what you can earn.

You believed that Karma's true
Built in the rules, silly you.
For government is not the only throne;
The crowd can have a heart of stone.

No judge need speak, no law be bent—
Your rights can die by mere consent.
In other spheres, rules not applied
The door to slavery is open wide.

Dr King

The question so many have asked 
What are we doing for others ?? 
Are we making a change 
Are we letting? What was work so hard to go in vain?
We used to have morals 
We used to have a heart 
This world ?? is slowly falling apart 
We used to look out 
For one another 
We use use to be able to depend on our sister and brother
Seems like everything now has become a competition 
From the beginning ?? to end 
Seems like no one wants to  see anyone win 
Friends turning on friends 
We really got to get it together 
Young people no longer  respect the elders 
So many things happening on the day to day basis 
So many families with crying faces 
Talking it out and communicating seems like it's no longer a thing 
Did we really listen to his dream ?? 
I meant Dr Martin Luther King 
Did you listen to him 
Did you hear him out 
He wanted to make a change 
Didn't do it for clout 
He made a way for a new to way to begin 
We got to figure it out 
He had a vision 
He saw it through 
He tried to make the world better for me and you 
Sacrifices were made 
By our tribe 
Believe it or not 
You can still thrive 
It was also said 
"One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right 
When the head is totally wrong " 
We have to push through 
And become tough and strong 
Right your wrongs 
Make your wrongs back right 
Do it for you, continue to fight
Don't fight with your hands fight with the knowledge you've learned over time 
Create new visions 
See them out this time 
Dream big 
No matter how hard it seems 
DR.KING also said "no one has the right to rain on your dreams ."
We shall overcome 
We have overcame 
We shall walk hand and hand 
For we are all the same 
Color doesn't define 
We are all one of a kind 
Theres so much more that I  could say 
Thanks Dr King for paving the way 
Little girls and little boys 
You guys are the future 
Dream big 
Don't stop 
Give it all you got 
And if you can give a little more 
Acts of service are always an open door 
Doesn't matter if it's a smile or a helping hand 
Be a part of a great plan 
We salute ?? 
Yes we do
Thank you Dr King 
For all you've done 
We celebrate you today 
Job well done .

Premium Member The Drone Knows I Am Alone

Having the peaceful right  
On a clear night 
Hearing tranquil sounds 
Watching the twinkling lights downtown 
Not expecting any interruption
From deceitful local corruption
But to my surprise  
Someone’s undermined lies
While sitting alone
There was a drone
Flying around
Taking pictures of the ground
As it buzzed  
Doing what it does 
I stayed still
Could it fire and kill?
After a few seconds 
Of doing checking 
Seeing nothing there 
And I was scared
It did have a heart
And a war it did not start 
You see, it is not all right
On a clear night  
To bother someone alone  
With an invading drone
In fact  
It is classified as an attack
Beckoning the response “take that
you neighborly nosey brat”

Premium Member The Beat of My Heart

this heart kneads easily
molds to the touch of a lover
this heart needs easy
has a hard time with it's over

i have a heart that bleeds quietly 
my heart has a hard time saying goodbye
cries its drops of blood internally
i know. i'm the one who wipes them dry

my heart sets time easily to another's
a heart too delicate for this world of hammers
it's a candy apple heart it cracks when dropped
my heart is warm and it's here for you to adopt

it latches on to the pain of loving hearts
the ones with complicated moving parts

you can know my heart through my eyes
you can also just touch it on my lips
hear it beating on your walk byes
you can see it when my flesh rips

i guess i should warn you
my heart is wanting too
to be honest it's lonely
so here let me hand you the key

I'M Not Invisible

I am a shy girl who's never been on a date
But I'm twenty, and Mom says I'm just blooming late
I'm destined to be an old maid without a mate
         Soon, I'll be past my prime

Always a wallflower. Alone, I brood and sit
Sometimes I'm a little quirky.  I will admit
But talk with me and you'll see, I've got charm and wit!
         I've mountains yet to climb

I'm the guilty one that no one ever suspects
Overlooked, as one of life's pathetic rejects
Here's a clue: I used a knife, and other objects
         I committed the crime

I'm the actor never given the starring role
The person always shoved into a cubbyhole
I'm not invisible! I have a heart and soul
        Might as well be a mime

I'm the elusive word for your poetic line
Look in a Thesaurus and you'll find me, Einstein
We can be a couplet, two planets that align
         Let's make our poem rhyme

Sometimes I feel like the hands of a broken clock
Going nowhere fast should never come as a shock
But where is the man who holds the key to my lock
        The one who'll ring my chime

Whirlwind Blow's

I've got to get ahold of these feeling's that I feel,
but it's hard to do because they are very real.
 Mixed emotions twirling deep down in my heart,
the thought's that cloud my mind, keeps me from doing my part.
 It seems as though the people I attract you see,
only come around when they need, and only use's me.
 My heart is so broken that I can't even cry,
Is this all that I am to them, I ask myself why.
 I have a heart made of pure gold, which they can not see,
I give them my all, to the point there is nothing left of me.
 My heart aches truly for them, because they are blind I know,
so onward with them, as their helping hand I go.
 Life is a two way road that we all must share,
I carry the cross's of things that's not mine to bare.
 I'm not a quitter, so I press on, day after day, time after time I go,
the real me, to them I do my best to openly show.
 Used and abused my heart cries from deep within,
over and over used and abused again.
 Let this be known to those who do other's this very same way,
some where down the road, these tolls you will have to pay.
 So I must stay focused on the task that's at hand,
for my house is not built upon the sand.
 Whomsoever reads this and feel's the way that I do,
press on, be humble and God will see you through.
 Though times seem harsh and people seem so cruel,
remember, Gods Holy Spirit is our greatest tool.
Keep on keeping on keeping God alive in your heart I say,
Know this, for you each day earnestly I get on my knee's and pray.
 You can do it, Trust and believe in yourself, no matter what it may see,
And know that we're not blind, the truth is what we are to be!

Premium Member Genocide in Real Time

We cowardly witnessed the genocide of many human beings
Live, live, live in real time
That was an odious, callous and vicious crime
We said nothing, absolutely nothing about the sad and awful events
Many of us were either silent or complacent about everything
Even God was absent and quiet. He did nothing, nothing
Evil doers are not humane; they are hardcore criminals
We witnessed the bombings of babies, buildings and animals
We saw the massacres and the aftermaths. We could smell the blood
And could hear the cries coming out of the television screens
We saw the live and dead bodies, the hearts, the livers and the spleens
Rotting and spoiling in the filthy streets. The color of the mud
Is grim and abnormal, because of too much sufferings and tears
Too much pain and misery, too much disgust and shame
Too much atrocities and killings. We all know whom to blame
We know who are responsible for so much evilness and wrongdoings
Humanity got thrown out of the window in this part of the universe
We wonder if these two legged machines have a heart and a soul
We wonder if they ever look in a mirror, in a clear pool
We wonder how it would be if everything were to happen in reverse
Where is God? Why this ignominious silence?
Live, live, live in real time
That’s an odious, egregious and beastly crime
How can anybody sleep at night? That makes no sense
These days, everything is live, eerie, vivid and instantaneous
Grotesque things are never acceptable, admissible and hilarious
We want peace and we dream of peace
But the guilty ones must pay from west to east
And from north to south. We want peace and justice.

P.S. This poem is dedicated to Love, Peace, Equality and Justice.

Premium Member Dance Contest


Arrogance and Poetry tried out
for a dance contest, 
Simply "stoned" with the idea that
they were the best.

They sat at a table, pointing out
errors in others.
Forgetting to have a heart and
compassion and that all dancers 
are sisters and brothers.

After snickering over others mistakes,
They soon discovered, they did not have 
what it takes.

So they, continued without hesitation, 
attacking others with bitter brazenness.
So much so, that Arrogance and Poetry 
were asked to leave, and red faced, 
did so with all their selfish cravenness.
