Though I Be But a Janitor

Though I am but a Janitor
Roger White
A dim yellow light filters the tiny room with shadow and pale glow.
In a bucket - trickle, splash, whirl, woosh, trickle.
The door groans and quietly latches. Wheels squeak, rubber soles shuffle slowly on tile floor.
A little lost, a little lonely, yet content in his solitude, the janitor leads on into another night.
A sigh passes from his chest, his lips curl into a smile.  Through his ear bud, faintly audible,
he hears – And at the end of three, the visiting Cubs lead the Cardinals four to one.
Night is a time to put chaos to rest.  And so, the work begins.
Soiled floors regain luster.  Grime and dust are wiped away.  The back strains to empty bags of
garbage and linen.  The stale carpets turn floral in fragrance.
Lunch break, what’s the score?  A voice familiar to the city announces - In the middle of the
seventh inning, the Cubs now lead the Cardinals seven to three.  Crumbs from a bologna and
cheese sandwich and a bag of chips are scooped off the table and tossed in the waste bin.  A
few swigs from a bottle of sweet tea and it’s back to work.
Night is a time for inner happiness.  So as he returns to his chores - he remembers.
I could throw a pretty mean slider in my day, better than that rookie hurling for the Cubs.
Man, those were the days, but it didn’t happen.  The Army was an adventure - saw some
world, didn’t like a lot of it.  The factory was a living, that was all.  The little woman and the
kids were my joy in life.  She’s gone now and the kids are grown and moved away.  I have this
job, my nights, my solitude, no chaos, plenty of happiness, and my Cubs.  The night wears on.
The alarm on the phone chimes – shift is over.  As he leaves the building, a sigh of relief passes
from his chest.  Sunrise will bring the chaos of the day, but he will sleep through it.
Through his ear bud, faintly audible – It was a good night for the Cubs on the road, let’s recap
their nine to three win over the Cardinals earlier tonight.  His lips curl into a smile.
And he considers - though I am but a janitor, no happier could I be.

She said, "Pffft Bumble Bees Rule, 
No Bees, no World
Shy Little Hearts 
Big power 
freedom wings
realised 
dreams into reality
unfurls
Who’s to write that story?
She’s just a girl
In a Boston Two Step World"

He said, "Stung, once bitten twice shy..."
She said, "The Devil’s in the Details -
the real deal is swallowing 
“The Whole Beautiful”
Big Blue Sky 
and opening mouths
tongues speak
transfer a lush kiss
shared wealth
Icarus flies out 
Sun in his mouth - 
It's a sinch..."

He said, "Lady Bird! Lady Bird! 
Your House is on Fire!"
She said, "Long ago maybe, 
the Empire now strong in unified minds
unfurls to The Town Crier
A new Kingdom 
Love
Power
rising higher and higher
Ok tiger, maybe a spark now,
Not yet into bonfire"

For a Woman 
that once was a 
Butter would melt 
in mouth Girl
dreaming unreachable
bigger blue skies
She irreverently 
turns keys
in hearts
A Fire opens latches
Lacquered Chinese 
puzzle boxed 
pheromone trials 
and strange 
very odd matches
Carniolan whispers, “Bring it on”
She now smiles
and captures...

Judges 14 buzzzing bees 8
Air thick with flying honey
All Along the Watch Tower
She opens the Gate
Hendrix’s Bumble Bees speak,
in hushed reverent 
unified tone,
"It’s never too late..."

Good Morning 2u2

Laying in the bed beside you, early morning light, 
cascades into the window banishing all signs of 
night,

your sleeping frame presents to me an appetizing 
sight, I'll wake you up as only I can do, with sheer 
delight.

You're underneath the comforter because of 
morning chill, I gently ease it off prepared to give you 
more than thrills,

your sexy thighs define mine eyes they're slightly 
parted still, I drape your legs across my shoulders, 
zero movement; nill.

My face descends your waist I breathe in deep your 
sweet'ning air, the peaches that I plan to eat secrete 
a sweet'ning flair,

that trickles just a little we can race, I'll meet you 
there, my tongue becomes The One like Neo 
leaping through the air.

The 1st lick stirs your body lightly, is this just a 
dream? Your womanhood's dessert I'm talkin 
peaches AND the cream,

which seemingly's inviting me to your forbidden 
seams, you moan and then it's quiet, I call THAT a 
silent scream.

The shock is wearing off and now the sound starts 
coming out, your legs are softly tremb'ling as my 
tongue moves all about,

like surgery most certainly but this aint nip and tuck, I 
introduce my special skill, I call it 'lick and suck'.

This means that simultan'eously my tongue as well 
as lips, are working hard in tandem to dismantle 
your defense,

just like a potent passing game I'm rackin up the 
yards, I throw to 2 receivers that'll make you scream 
for God.

See now that's what you're doing as we're entering 
that stretch, the sun is shining bright outside and yet 
you're soaking wet,

sook sookie not a rooke status labels me a vet, I 
spell the alphabet which makes you gush all on my 
neck.

I latch on like a newborn baby latches on to feed, 
you're sudd'nly strong as 20 men, I guess that's it 
indeed,

you look at me astoundingly not knowing what to do, 
I wink an eye and wipe my mouth, good morning to 
you too.

Bulletproof Smile

My inner world is dark beyond measure
Crashing waves
(Crashing waves)
It’s hard to breathe when the water’s up to your neck.
Odds acting against me
Increase the pressure
Endless days
(Endless days)
Copacetic on the outs but inside I’m a wreck.

I scar my face with a smile
So nobody questions me but
This pain
It is determined…
It sits, it waits in silence…
It latches on, distorting truth.

Planted somewhere inside your head
All the thoughts you wish were true 
Never further from the truth
Yet you still think my smile is bulletproof.

Something says I can change
That it isn’t too late…
Stitches take time to heal
But there’s fresh skin underneath
Shiny, pink scars
(Shiny, pink scars)
Harder than before
(Harder than before)
Determined, I fall
I fall
(I fall)

But I rebound with the vitality of a rabbit
Who doesn’t want to die
Before he leaves a lesson
So that someone else can try
To find an answer for the medicine
Curing heartache’s lie


Planted somewhere inside your head
All the thoughts you wish were true 
Never further from the truth
Yet you still think my smile is bulletproof.

And we bow our heads
We walk, do we walk alone?
I slipped, but caught a hand
From a face I didn’t recognize
Then caught a feeling so familiar
I swore I’d seen those eyes before

I wasn’t supposed to walk alone,
If I don’t have you beside me
At least I have your shadow
And every stranger on my way here
Left me feeling alone so,
I shared with them a lie
Coming from my face
Through conventionality’s eye
Every step will bring you closer
Don’t give up before you try.

Planted somewhere inside your head
All the thoughts you wish were true 
Never further from the truth
Yet you still think my smile is bulletproof.

Premium Member Ocean Waves

I confronted the ocean, 
the moon hanging low. 
I scowled at the sea, 
the Breeze processing below. 
The calming hints of the ocean welcome me. 
The ocean breeze quieted the trees to rest. 
Also, it exquisitely drew my sleep before dawn. 
The terrible dew seemed to stick around. 
The roar of the waves rose, 
showing Pine Tree State love. 
My heartbeat seems to be sharp, 
and that I relish smelling the sea. 
If my lips shift to wet with dew, 
My face is loaded up with bliss. 
It resembles the universe of blue mist blending. 
Light-Haired young woman Scented Wear 
It resembles a white wedding dress. 
She, at last, found a darling. 
Sparrows tell from its casing of reference. 
I murmured at the water, as well. 
In a doomed, confusing dream 
Concur with all little bit of it, 
within the focus of adoration...
I detected the death of the evil. 
Tune in the latches. 
She commends me, as well: 
The Illusion is Runs Down. 
Ecstatic waves threw the crowd on the love rhyme. 
Kindly do no matter what it returns, not pivot. 
She aforesaid Your breath ought to not fall; 
send your waves within the blue of the sky. 
Similar to ocean birds, 
the ringings your full breath. 
Flavored with the smell of the ocean 
Indeed, even to accept the ample space. 
during this meeting, Combine these layers as one, 
Of white fogs and blue beams, 
It's a splendid light, as well, 
The Savage of Youth Considers the sea, 
Accept joy in a rattling event, 
With him or excluding riding his extreme aversion. 
Be a craftsman or a writer; however, 
on the other side, a darling, 
don't relinquish Until Death. 
Or, on the opposite hand, 
the expert of a ship mariner. 
He's not terrified of the dull.

Infected Minds

Hatred walking tall in the streets 
of the hearts of our 
GENERATIONS
Blood spilled painting the 
ground red
Making the evil not to feel bad 
but as VIPs Phela they now are 
walking on the red carpet
The cries shed turning into 
the welcoming melody as 
they enter the gates of hell
Drowning the happiness of this
world into a very deep well

The money gave birth to 
uMUVHANGO
That constructed hell on earth
The burning flames of 
greediness
burnt families down to ashes
when death knocks at your door
it breaks down all the latches
It doesn't matter which rout it 
took
it can come via your relatives
your blood can one day be a 
catalyst
to speed up the witchcraft 
reaction
as to give birth to wealthiness

I feel THE NEED to set free my 
fears
and let them walk tall in the 
streets 
of your minds with flyers 
proposing unity
Let's all stand up in search of 
dignity
How I long to live life vividly
In your heart as hatred intrude
on your knees fall like you just
had a heart attack but in your 
prayers
Include also the victims in his 
list

The soil swallowed the souls
of THE YOUNG AND THE 
RESTLESS
The brave ones that stood up, 
ducked and sucked bullets 
Into their bodies for our 
freedom
with nothing but stones in their 
hands
The freedom implanted laziness
and greediness in today's youth
we are not xerophytes, 
we can't survive in this dry land 
we need to fight

your journey has brought you 
into
this very dark life you are in
Wake up your mind, open up 
your eyes
there is hell and there is heaven
you are at the junction, make 
yur choice
The right choice will give you 
honor
But the wrong turn leads you to 
horror

Crows

The Carrion Crow

Crows abound in the 
neighborhood and around the 
yard. Often in early morning a 
great, noisy caw-fest occurs. 

A carrion crow
sat on an oak, fol de rid-
dle, lol de riddle…

Only tiny oaks sprout here and 
there, as planted by industrious 
blue jays. Crows sit in the 
neighbors' incense cedar, 
redwoods and other 
miscellaneous, unlooked-after 
bushes. 

Watching a taylor 
Shape his cloak; Sing heigh-ho 
the
carrion crow, fol…

Crows are very smart, it's 
known. They can pick latches, 
love to collect small shiny 
objects and are good thieves. 

Wife bring me my old, 
bent bow, fol de riddle, lol
De riddle, hi ding…

Crows in this neighborhood are 
urban crows. It may be  this 
makes them smarter than their 
country cousins. Nevertheless 
they are well nourished and 
sleek for living on the city 
streets. 

That I may shoot
Yon carrion crow; sing heigh-
Ho, the carrion…

Crows often crack a walnut by 
dropping it repeatedly from a 
street light standard. There's 
an instance in town where a 
house down-spout was clogged 
with too many shells. A crow or 
crows opened nuts while on the 
roof. 

The Taylor he shot
And missed his mark, fol de 
rid-
dle, lol de riddle…

A crow across town enjoyed a 
left-over, smashed-flat-in-a-
parking lot, bag of French-fry 
and hamburger leavings; held 
the paper down with a foot and 
picked it clean. 

And shot his old sow 
Quite through the heart; sing 
heigh-ho 
The carrion crow,

Fol-de-riddle, lol de riddle, hi 
ding do.

Wife bring brandy—in
A spoon for our old sow is
In a swoon! Heigh-ho…

She Was Free, At Last

~
The stones were many, 
though still he climbed, 
dismantling the mortar crusted wall,
leaving rubble in his wake
as he made his way to the top
Breathless, this world beyond 
the border clung to its silence, 
imprisoned by apprehension tightly 
binding a heart fearful of opening,
like a clay jar of secrets,
brittle but sealed tightly
in the deepest cavern
of temptation

locks fastened as he
descended the other side slowly
taking in his surroundings
In the distance he could hear
the defined thud of the bolt
sliding snuggly into its chamber,
the click of assorted latches
in brassplate  and silver
midst echoed sighs contemplating
wished for moans
as delicate hands trembled

What would come of this stranger
peering, traversing the maze
sculpted of thorned hedges
and meandering lies heard
lingering of past encounters
Would he bare truth,
could he be the one
to break these chains of uncertainty,
rusted of worry
but loosened by desire

When there he stood
in the gateway, shrouded by iron bars
of ornate woven design
draped in a cloak of confidence,
defiant of fear, gallant in approach
Not bearing jewels nor golden trinkets,
but offering honesty,
words of love in truthful promises
lined with forevers 
once unimaginable

and she wept
for the sun had risen, 
an amorous glow of crimson
and amethyst blinding the sadness 
on a once forgotten horizon,
proclaiming a new day…
and she could see it,
she could feel it
and as he took her hand 
she knew as they
walked towards it...
she was free,
at last


Happy New Year everybody!
~

New City Street

New city street

With the wink of an eye
and a shuffle of feet
We wandered about
down a new city street
Where vendors wore blue
with a tangerine sash
In hopes to look good
with no chance it would clash
Their carts were adorned
with ribbons and beads
And funny designs
made of cantaloupe seeds  
They hollered and bellowed
and beckoned us near
And when we did stop,
they let out a loud cheer
They offered us products
like peanuts with cheese
And daffodil handkerchiefs
in case we sneeze
Belts made of feathers
with buckles in red
And weird little cones
you could wear on your head
We bid and we haggled
but always were nice
To get a good deal
and a much better price
The street lined with houses,
most two stories high
With windows like shamrocks
reflecting the sky
The balconies all featured
ribbons and bows
That hung from the railings
such colorful throws
Where women were calling
to neighbors across
For clothes pins and hampers
they hoped they would toss
They spoke in a language
so funny to hear
For what they were saying
was not always clear
The men were all mending
and tending the place
Their hats cockled sideways,
a grin on their face
The knees of their jeans 
were all covered in patches
While they polished the brass
on the handles and latches
It seems they were singing
an old fashioned song
We tried to join in
as we walked right along
We laughed and we giggled
so much fun was had
But we had to leave
and that made us both sad
So we promised each other
that we both would meet
Again very soon
on this new city street
fun
