US AND THE STATE OF THE NATION AND ITS WORLD
With our present world encapsulated
In a shell of abject tragedy, it’s becoming
Painfully difficult to pen pleasurable words
Of the beautiful glow of the graces of nature
As that of humankind blooms dark graveness:-
Today, declining humor, splendor,...

IN AND OF A PRANKING TRAGEDY: Apropos Of A Poetic Homily
IN AND OF A PRANKING TRAGEDY
(Apropos Of A Poetic Homily)
We must remind
Our children of
Those false-fun
Pranks,
That can cost
Their lives,
And false-glory
Thanks:-
We must not
Allow ourselves
To be parents
That endorses pranks
To warrant
Our children’s thanks
For being allowed
To inject...

ON SECOND THOUGHT: AN ALLEGORICAL SUMMATION
ON SECOND THOUGHT

Those keloid words: To err...

Nocturne of Wounds
A pallid night, a void's umbral reign,
Emptiness, a phantom, claimed the lane.
A dirge of noir, a melancholic strain,
Echoes, sepulchral, whispered in the rain.
The phantasmal memory, a haunting pain,
The keloid scars, where shadows still remain.
A thunderous...

A One Breath Keloid Memory: Apropos of 9-11-22
Today my flowing pen
Streams screaming words
Cascading to hungry eyes
And thirsty ears of waves
Of the oceans of minds
Waiting to be sailed upon
In the winds of whatever
The day has decided to blow
Into sleeping sails awaiting
To be blown...

I Am That I Am---Without End
I Am That I Am…Without End…
Listen, my heart is a soul drum
Beating the spiritual rhythms
Of the sojourning struggle of life—
Pumping pulsating blood inking
The notes of our story—flowing
From the past to the present—banked
In the...

IN PRAISE OF DIVINE LIBERATION
IN PRAISE OF DIVINE LIBERATION
I once wallowed in apathy,
I once had bad feelings
Of being unworthy;
Struggling with failure:-
In anger, I once felt
God had abandoned me,
Until a keloid memory
Of a childhood lesson
In gracious spirituality,
Massaged my aching soul;
And...

In This Land of Hope
Weaving the labyrinth of the tyranny of time,
let not the chartered task waiting ashore

between our temple pillars of faith and hope.
Rather, in the due time...

Lynching Pandemic Echoes
Today, lynching has gone
From roped necks and trees
To piercing bullets and klan knees;
Free from guilt and doing no wrong.
Yet, the hued victims remain the
Same;
And seeking immediate justice seems
Just insane;
Today’s dead man walking, is surely
A...

OUR KELOID HEIRS
They are the fruits
of our sown seeds
in the womb of life;
They are the foot-stepped
followers of today’s times
and its challenges;
They are the precious gifts
that our Creator’s love
has given us to cherish;
They are the navel travelers
whose pathway...

WAITING IN LIMBO
WAITING IN LIMBO
Sitting on the muddy banks
Of faded realities,
Lingering in the spaces of time,
Lost souls struggle:
Seeking another Dreamer.
Powering pawn brokers,
Tighten their mogering grasp
Beyond the setting sun;
Leaving frailed victories festering
And waning in winds of change:-

TO THE TASK AHEAD FOR OUR WRITERS
TO THE TASK AHEAD FOR OUR WRITERS
No one can write our story but us;
His story merely footnotes us:-
In the culture of the penned word,
We must personally ink ourstory;
Footnoting history’s keloid pains:-
In doing so, the rules...

For a Wilted Flower Blooming Again
for a wilted flower blooming again
paper flowers

you tickled my heart
and I giggled silly tears
you reeled me in

on your sweet bait
then you left

POETIC FOOTPRINTING
POETIC FOOTPRINTING
(A Senryu Septet-Thought For Today)
Spiritually,
Poets walk poetic feet;
Sojourning life:-
In sojourning life,
Which foot begins the journey;
And which foot ends it?*
When you lose your feet,
They can no longer footprint;
Thus, footprint your mind:-
Footprinting the mind,
Ensures keloid...
