Long Progenies Poems

The morning sun hovers coyly
behind broad shoulders of the John Crow Mountain
before unwrapping petals of fever plant and Venice.
Mama’s countenance was far contrast to one so radiant, 
so when the old Leyland bus went shuddering...

Some children growing up in towns,
    Wear sallow faces, sullen frowns.
    Streetwise urchins, Jack the lads,
    Reminiscent of their dads.
    Guttersnipes roam nine...

Don't you remember the summer when we first woo each other, and, that same summer we made out?
     We were so pure to the ways of life, my love, don't you...

Children At Risk







Every time I hear a child has been neglected 

and vastly un protected.

Parents and caretakers have the most important

job of the world,

To raise and mold a boy or girl.

It breaks my heart.

We are...

Summer speaks to me by waking me up early
Playing tunes of beautiful song bird melodies
Blowing cool breezes in early mornings
Creating chimes of rustling tree leaves

She speaks to me through marvels of elaborate spider webs 
Through...

Kenya A Hotbed Of Awes

Hahaha! Hahaha!
Do not get me wrong!
As they crave  for the savoury outdoor success,
As they are mounted and motivated to hoist  the flag of their motherland high,
They spread  the...

Yellow, red, blue, orange, magenta, purple, and green
are the colors of a perfect rainbow.
These hues flicker like a beautiful bow.
Yes, this is the valley of castles, riches and dreams.

Knights with shields and armor protect this...

Perspired with pertinacity to bring up their progenies cozily,
Indescribably fondled them to make  them smile forever !
Built brick by brick their dreams about their off springs,
Hoped they would be cared in their twilight existence...

Threshold(s) Hail thee

The path that delivers I will elevate;
For the life that lives deserves whole eternal,
In the place of rest that saints will dominate.

The many battles fought to safeguard a trait,
To let a brood with...

You want them to be as yourself, morally depraved ever reaching 
Towards the darkness; to further these covert, self-serving agendas ?
Sprinkling a bit of powdered sugar atop of Phi Beta Kappa's nose; scholastic
Piranhas aspiring to...

THE POSTERITY OF RUDOLPH

‘Twas the night before Christmas and the reindeers played tricks.
The twinkling eyes of the posterity of Rudolph in a riotous mix.

There was the mooning of Santa Claus, his britches on the North...

     In Battery Point, two centuries stayed
     Settlers’ cottage, compact, sandstone stoic
     Paired attic windows see civility made
     From...

Wrinkled grasses greet me with cumbersome smiles;
Then the semblance of sheds with rays of light whipping the rooftops,
Marauding dogs barking at the dust wreathing from my vehicle,
Tree blinds melding beautifully with the moving shadows of...

The Call To Justice
When the days turn sourer
And the month turns dark
With the years flinging to return no more
Only the lonely already will thrive.

When the hopes of the Negros grow faint
Buried in the bellies of...

Life goes on past my lifetime.
Hard to believe...
Bereft!
I think I shall watch from heaven.
Better than a blockbuster movie —
the other side of nasty and nice.
Shall I turn toward those golden streets?
Greet each day at the...

Momma lies in the old, old cemetery --
[A space] and then her third grandchild
Stillborn after long, disappointing labor.
Now largely neglected, I go when I can
Seldom seeing a living soul thereabout,
I put money in a caretaker’s...

AS THE COUNTRY CRIES

They calmly catches the cold from county,
Her calamitous cries crept to champion the country,
Her progenies cheers to cause pain for the plain,
And the the peaceful people lead to spray the peace like...

Spring Sonnet

The microscopic lifeforms in my soil
Sense the rising in degrees Celsius.
Old Summer’s red wiggler worms now uncoil,
While hungry birds look down most odious.

Most showers now done, the weeds envelope
The surviving herbs, flowers, plus veggies.
Like...

Thinking back, unto the movie 'Lifeguard; it's waning empty shores ?
Summer's coming then going, another year gone by: gazing across her waters
Gray skies you were never a friend of mine: cast amid your manipulating
Riptides this...

Karma

That is life

Times have informed me, “ you will reap what you sow ”.
Times passing – these words, deep – I have come to know.

Throughout the years, many moments have come to show,
throughout time, my...
