The Space Between

I gather up all of my courage
My gaze drifts to the evening sky 
All that space there between 
Alien visitation must be a lie 
The sun and moon still shine for us 
Eventually they burn out and die 
Everywhere a sea of murkiness 
With little spots of distant light 
No comfort in their glowing beacons
They lack warmth beyond their sight
All the wisdom in every book 
Can’t make sense out of a starry night 
We may someday sprint off this rock 
Conquer every planet to the last 
Our population my even explode 
An empire that will be unsurpassed 
The only thing worse than a prison too small
Is a prison that is too vast 


Dedicated to the Messiah.....He knows why

Premium Member The Poems I Never Wrote

The poems I never wrote are 
all here on my page on this site 
I mean it 
I plagiarised every one of them 
from some wannabe poet
that got expelled back in pre school 
I’ve an excellent memory 
and am a recalcitrant liar 
But now I’m coming clean

No time for homework 
I just wanted to play 
Teacher beat me badly 
for wasting my life away 
I enjoyed my childhood 
those were the days 
Still to win this contest 
a backhander I will pay 
Poem below is my own
so now I’ll have my say

Ba Ba black sheep
have hue - buckled my shoe 
Three four -the cow jumped-
everywhere a moo moo!

The end

Broken Charger

My phone at 1%
Love's battery runs empty
Who gon' charge me now?

Dusk hums low again
I scroll through old convos-sigh.
Ghosts read ''typing...still''
(Sedoka)

                 Drum

Beat
heart loud
in freedom
rising,broken-
dance!
(Lantern poem)

Mzantsi Bus Stop

Minibus honks, dust rise high-
vendors shout,wives wave koebaai.
Wind smells like pap stew.
prayer and perfume too-
Time flies-
So do I  
(Clogyrnach)

      Heilbron Love Song

She wears my T-shirt.
Famo music follows her hips.
streets lights blink approval.
I forget my sorrows
The world dances small.
(Gogyohka)

           Truth

Revolutions begin the day you whisper, ''enough''.

 (monostich)

     Taxi Ride To Wepenaar

Rain drops on glass so slow
city lights blink-I see hope glow                                      
(Luc Bat poem)

     Wi-Fi Gospel

No signal again,
but somehow Jesus still calls
bless the hotspot Lord

We danced all night on Maxwell street 
singing the blues and eating chicago style 
hotdogs driving by Halsted my hair blew in 
the breeze as I winked at the Cermax river 

flowing of winter green this year the infamous green 
mile lounge can be seen in a distance glare after visiting 
Logan square headed straight through the Dan Ryan 
driving past Sam Giacana place I thought of sausage 
and peppers grilling real slow in a cast iron skillet

as I noticed my heel had broken off back there somewhere 
between Taylor street and Roosevelt rd. I notice 
St. Ignatious steeple my blonde hair tossed around the 
lights from the city seemed to glow streams of brilliance 

dancing chatter awakening James Dean we dashed 
through the sand dunes moving quickly down Lakeshore 
drive the night was moving fast but there was more life 
more laughs more love we didn't dare park over the crowded 

evergreens not tonight instead we poured in the theater 
seated in the fourth row my favorite seats matinee began 
early with John Dillinger I began to smell stale popcorn 
under my feet removing a chunky chocolate bar from my 
purse a few hankies 

embroidery prints of roses custom made by my Irish aunt
we dashed into Antonio's for a deep slice reading all the 
license plates on the wall from years past why I envision 
how our future would be why would it be fast never boring 

or set to a charming suburban movie script filled with 
Gaelic Celtic laud tainted lore why today was the 
beginning of our lives tomorrow was yet to be the future 
was ours to see and so on and so on certainly a 
St Patrick's day to remember here now where's 
the powder room dear
