Deor's Lament (Anglo Saxon poem, circa 10th century AD)
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Weland knew the agony of exile.
That indomitable smith was wracked by grief.
He endured countless troubles:
sorrows were his only companions
in his frozen...

8 Little Egypts
Something strange
and unexplainable comes this way,
this way, it comes to us sly and fast,
some say, perhaps,
it has already arrived,
it walks unseen, in the midst of all, of us
we go about our...

Had happy Mornings...but once in awhile...so do mournings...
Making the most...still sometimes...at a lost...
One moment overjoyed...the next...feeling the void...
Wiping out fears...yet often, can't control the tears...
One day face the world bravely...then later feel weary...

Are We Safer Now
Joy in mourning
opens this new eye day.
Am I OK?
Healthy?
Compromised
yet survive able
air inhaling
"Death, tonight,
or some tomorrow,
my life's inevitable
closed,
no longer curious,
final answer."
Warm, wet exhaling,
"My moisture, too,
dying to reopen
yet another deep breath
resurrecting dawn."
Is my heart still beating

Ravenous Eldritch Wrath a Collab With James Fraser
RAVENOUS ELDRITCH WRATH
The darkening skies in choir of wrath;
The wind brisk banging blows;
The withering of trees;
The falling twirling leaves;
The branches sudden irate tweak and split.
Giving way to the rushing threat of death
Will another candle die...

A Solace In Solitude - Loneliness Contest
Like the moving clouds my life runs,
Not knowing when to stop, saturate and shower,
Carrying the vapours of worry my heart weighs heavy,
Crossing the peak I saturate and cry,
Sometimes I squall, sometimes I bawl,
At times I...

She bleeds at the ascension of evil sons of the soil to higher offices,
In the name of development
squandering and laundering her wealth

I Used To Be
Can I allay man's acceptance
of poverty which was not a dire circumstance before?
On those past days of summer the stale from bread crumbs fell
onto the lidless eyes of each child, woman on the...

From beneath that dead tree without shelter nor brush
Upon this desolate land without shadow or shade
Where the earth has been scorched and it's skin is decayed

Love Me Now Save My Heart
Sunrise eats the nights heartache
Mournings are the music of my soul
Failing big by what was a stake
Dying every day by loves toll
I'm just dwelling on a prayer
Alone again broken from the part
Drifting from a dream...

What Do We Do With Our Freedom
Clods of blood,
Backs of sweats,
Echoes of mournings,
Fountains of tears,
Alters of sacrifices
traded for the freedom
we inherit today.
There were days when
our forth parents have to
struggle across the atlantic
ocean oppress by transatlantic
devotion
with ships of slaves on...

NUMBERS
Let's speak of numbers.
I’m a Kenyan 2.0,
With an ID to prove.
I own the code—254,
Been here since I was 0.
Gen Z did awaken,
Learning the art in math—
The topic on tax,
And the story of Zakayo.
Gen Z did...

Epiphany
Reflecting its neighbourhood,
The lake water shone yellow.
Resembling a synchronisation of saturation
With the setting sun.
Seizing green colour of the grasses
The sun painted them gold.
Engrossed gazing pines dance spectacularly,
Only awakened with sparrows' chirps,
And Robins' melodious...

Monday Mourning’s
I woke up one Monday morning
And now I wish I stayed in bed
Because I was kind of crabby
And I regret the things I said
I’m really not quite sure

Love is beautiful, it brings perfection
Perfection sprouting from two human beings
Two human beings who then transcend mutually
Transcend mutually until they become unique
Feelings can be deadly wild like a stallion
Like a stallion who is exploding all...

Ghost
It's the ghost
That lost himself in the pain
Who doesn't see himself as being dead
Showing a gullible smile
In a rotted mouth?
That exaggerates the gestures
Who fled
Slid from highs
Suffered silently, bled,
Tasted the salt of bitterness,
Felt a knot in...

Lace hankie tucked inside her jacket sleeve
Hard candy filled the tin beside Mom’s purse

At times when it seems nothing could be worse
So many dresses filled her closet space
