Cossack Cowboys
Riding Llamas
That they dress
In pink pajamas
Teeny boppers
Blowing bubbles
Biker chicks
Causing trouble
Nuns in Habits
Punks in chains

Rubbing Buddha belly
Cravers
And the band
Harvey Danger
David Bowie
Elton John
Both of them
With Spacesuits on
Vegetarians 
Eating chicken
Love it fried
Finger licking
In...

With you

With you feels like walking on air
It’s that feeling like I could skydive
And who! Else could ever compare
No one makes me feel so alive

And something I’ve never before...

BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

How do I live each day pretending that what I feel is not real?
Who do I tell about this I feel...

So Good

I suppose at times I've been a bit of a dive
Everything I seemed to touch turns to crud
But now it’s different because you I’m with
Believe me things have never felt so good

And even now...

Back and forth I go around

Prisoner

I dare not say that I am innocent for I am not

But my delinquency is contrary to felony
I have committed a crime of goodwill  

My transgression...

The sun fades away into the distance
The stillness of nature overwhelms me

A reflection of the impact you have made

A soothing thought I linger

Time to let go
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
Drops of rain 
Streams of moving water 
Trees clothed with colour 
Time for change

A thought in mind
A picture in hand
A change of heart 
A choice to make

Still holding on...

Quiet, reliant, in need of direction 
Congested in this pool of life
Trying, denying the wisdom residing.
Hiding and lying...

Trapped in a conspiracy filled with catastrophe 
Magical, so identical 
Caught up in a traumatic tragedy
Momentarily she is on to me like a cheetah on a hunt
I...

It’s hard to make friends if you haven't...

Clothed with stillness and humility
At times getting lost...

Smile of a child

So gullible; but who can blame them
