fizzing out of my charming muse's smile.
A bubbly butterfly that she is,

The Braille of Cobblestone

 
Keeper of darkness,
of auras reaped from high seas,
vast is your harvest
of earth rumblings beset by molten tears
to charred obsidian made hard glass.

Such reflects primate-memory
once clamored upon by man and beast running,
dodging...

A PAIN CLOUD ON HORROR’S HORIZON

I’ve tilled the tired soil on which a torn man toils
I’ve tread the fettered flag on which an aspiring asp coils
I’ve stared into the face of ghosts, goblins and gargoyles

"Dodging Karens"


So easily time is merely wasted
Hidden or in fine print, not always clearly stated
People often irritated
You and your bull leaves me infuriated
Stomach such a serious statement
Every day I'm severely faded
Damage being done, much deteriorated
Disappointed...

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Part 1

Of all the different kinds of love. 
Some are gentle. 
Some are oppressive. 
Some come with pre-conditions. 
Some come from expectations. 
Some come with zesty flavors.
Spices and exotics.

In a secluded corner of an...

For years, the ominous signs were palpable
The deep fraternal mistrust festered and discernable
Propagated by colonial masters to divide and make Rwanda malleable
And left lingering became monstrous and uncontrollable
Snowballing in 1994 into an orgy of murderous...

They brought me from
there
In chains
Where I born
Where my parents
past
Breathed their last
And still
Prints from my steps
back
There
There
Pains and memories
On ports of miseries
Where men made gold
Out of my miseries
There
They sent me without
hope
To the home
Of their hopes
There

Where

Made I
America
Out of...

marching on your smoking boots
you led the parade of khaki vultures to scavenge

Nowhere and everywhere in faith is the same place between

Down my future rains
Pouring reality upon me
Like a hard truth
Drowning me in my own regret
Flushing out the demons within my heart
Like a parched field I am irrigated
Like a remedy for my affliction
I am healed

My love seeds are planted in the dessert
In the endless kilometers 
Of nothing
Of every human coffin
Where sadness and madness
Rest with the monster of the dessert.

My love has no end.
It spreads its root in the dessert...
