Hello, I come to speak of peace,
The kind which saves the mind from deviation.
To give life to dead instincts,
For the lost throne belonging to black men is found.
Let the whole world come to hear this...

Give me an idea that I can use
and built on for the future.
Run through my mind and find something kind
overlooked to help me to endure.

Give me fables and legends of old;
all the enchanted stories.
Find something...

I took it all for granted. The sky, the stars, the wind, 
the flowers, the grass, the trees.
I expected to see my friends every day, 
it was boring, dull, humdrum, if you please.
In my mediocre...

Oh my God, these different ways,
Leads to your home.
I don’t know that is direct to you.
If you met me in a way,
How shall I recognise you?
What language do you speak?
There are different languages,
If I shall...

Painted ladies 
Platform boots 
Mini skirts 
Stockings, garter belts 

Low slung Vs 
Bubbling over with mottled mummeries 
Hanging around Butcher’s Corner 
On the hook 

The pray orbit 
Slowing down, speeding up 
Slow…gone 
Around a corner,...

My home is bleak this evening because of winter.
This outing was fun, yet I hunted faithful cover.
To deter us colds and to wear around the home.
Everybody precisely grasped the cold syndrome.

Snowflakes fall quickly from the...

We all have two trees, growing within us.
Only one can grow fastest enough to weather the worst storms.
The master gardener plants the root ball, combines the mulch, and the top soil,
taking great care, to see...

Lee and I are identical twins. We look, sound, and are dressed identically.
It is 1958 and we are heading back to school from lunch. 
Sing-song Lee thinks it is a normal May day; I realize...

Being an identical twin means you do not have a name
For the first eighteen years of your life but keep your happy heart. 
You are called “Hey, you, Twin!” or “Stone Twin!”
Except by your friends...

sitting on the steps of a church
on a brisk autumn day
with nobody in sight
leaves are falling
birds are singing
it is oh so quiet,
and i am off work again tomorrow
once upon a time
a very special lady joined...

Self confident
I would feel inconvenient
to be dead,

Yet relieved in freedom
from trimming toe
and finger nails
and receding hair
advancing down wrinkling neck
and softing shoulders.

Although not confident
I could grow
satisfied with fictional fame,
self-grandiosing glory,
I remain curious
how timelessly satisfying might emerge
historically...

When you held me, my eyes saw vision,
i quietly layed and prayed for your healing,
my heart was pounding out of my chest,
is this love mixed in with nervousness,
denying chance over and over again,
denying myself the...

Trish n Joan
In life you sometimes do see,
 A person almost identical, gee,
The funny laugh the little quirks,
One like the other smirks,
 almost identically,
then one is drawn to the other,
Greenslopes hospital to die for one,

We are a perfectly mismatched set.
We share contradictory alliances in Peace
We conquer complimentary foes in War

You quell the unnerving anxiety that haunts me
And I haunt the quelling worry that unnerves you.

My emotional lows keep your...

awareness
paused
in
   isolated

 waves

SURFACES

I in you, and you in me,
We're related, we have the same genes,
We were taught by example for many years,
We learned the same techniques, you can feel what I feel,
When our eyes meet, we see...
