Laurels To Green

LAURELS TO GREEN.


Mum has prepared an avacado jam,
green tints in chroma highlight the campus,
a stoll dyed in artichoke green is on my shoulder,
gala time with friends in green,we hang around in green,
Myrtle plants rejoice..Yeah! festive time,St Patricks Day,
Spring ,my guest has arrived,
glad tidings it has brought,lets rejuvenate,
start afresh,green a prime shade,
from which loveliness springs,
buoyancy seeps in and offers us wings,
dense green is the lung of our land,
purifies air,facilitates growth,
replenishes,calms mind,body and soul,
Green is a community that feeds,
flies,birds,animals,humans....
Lets not be greedy,cherish its right hand
and chop off the left,
let us get eco friendly like green,
Mother Nature deserves the attention,
care,and respect,lets not wound 
the amour propre of Green.

LATEST
Lets celebrate St Patricks day,green is everywhere,
Green tints,myrtle plants are in company there,

All roam around in green in the campus,
Fresh artichoke shaded scarf waves like that of a cactus,

Glad tidings have come,lets have fun,
Spring chirps with loveliness and spins,

Its buoyancy enables us to go ahead,
Air is more pure, calms mind instead,

Thick green soothens our lungs,
Replenishes mind,body,soul and comes,

The community of green provides,
Food to birds,animals,humans tied,

Eco friendly green needs care in return,
Forever green should have its sojourn,

We shouldnt be mean in needs,
Preserve in its wholeness with seeds,

Don't give a scar to lovely green,
Its beauty to us is evergreen.

Loving Souls

L oving - and safe in your mountain air
O  how it feels -, lifted high above
V anity disappears - with a love so rare
I n the apex of loving strength - thereof
N aturally cleaving to your arms - with care
G iving myself to your towering love

S afe within your protecting love
O  the feeling of love - in the open air
U nderstanding - how much you really care
L oving - the way I am cradled above
S afe in your arms and protected thereof
now finding a man such as you is so rare

Two souls locked together, uncommonly rare
High above the weather, locked in our love
Lost in your peaks and your strength thereof
Fill my soul with you as my lungs with air
You’ve lifted me high and so far above
In your strong arms, I am locked in your care

No one can harm me, I don’t have a care
For a mountain of strength is O so rare
Of all the land that you tower above
I rest in your arms, your mountain of love
Your strength and protection, your manly air
Has given me purpose to serve you thereof

If the meaning of love is clear thereof
Content I rest on your pinnacle of care
The breath of your love in the mountain air
As a man like you is extremely rare
So I’ll keep and serve you in all my love
As you are my master and high above

So I sit on your apex high above
Tending your needs as your woman thereof
I give you my soul and undying love
And I come to be taken into your care
Love like ours is hard to find so uncommonly rare
Please hold me close, I will stay in your mountain air

I’ll live in your mountain air and stay with you above
The bond we found is rare yet we have thereof
Give to me your care and I pledge to you my love

Form: Sestina

Three Years Letters

 To Raychel, I got your letter
Thank you very much 
You make me so happy when I talk to you
Or read your letters 

Three years in prison
And a lifetime of running
Finally it stopped
But kept us all gunning 

 To Raychel,
I think to myself what is she is up to
Then I say, 
I know she is thinking of the one and only me 

The promises of a life time
When you’re locked on the inside, hiding from the out
Three years you’ve promised
What’s that all about?

 Oh, By the way!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I’m the luckiest man in the world
To have a daughter like you 

Three years gone 
Where are you now
I’ve begged, cried, and smiled
It shouldn’t matter how

 In the whole world 
You can replace money
But you can never replace love
And love is what we have here 

Yet Money spent our family 
Faster than we could spend it
Money was the problem 
Greed made us split 

 To my little Raychel
I bet you’re happy 
One day we will be back together 
And that will be the happiest day of my life 

Nowhere to be found 
And back to your ways
I’ve called too many times
And waited 3,650 days

Just three years of letters
And those ten minute calls
That’s three years of letters
And what happened to it all?

 Dearest Raychel,
Remember I’m here for you
Always no matter where I am,
I love you with all my heart
Forever,
Daddy Jim 

Three years of letters 
And where are they now?
No more promises 
Or walls that think aloud

That’s ten years passed
You said you would be here
But back to your own ways
You’re nowhere near

Captivity

Part 4 of my "Image" series..


Treacherous, back stabbing,
a troubled changeling.
no host, pure demoniacal.
Mit Wobet,
begins his vicious cycle.

Monica Mcmichael,
high spirited, 
humble.
She stumbles upon
this pretty man,
smooth, well educated
with a staff in his hand.

                                               The foundation was set,
                                                   for Mr. Mit Wobet.
Mysteriously grand,
attentive to his commands.

                                          lost within a series of dreams.
                                               She seems to be free
                                                            But
                                           limited within these dreams.

soon she will realize, 
soon she will scream,
comatose, lifeless
now part of Mit Wobets'
supremely extreme regime.

abduction into this production by
Mit Wobet.
Sexually induced seduction,
chemically explosive mental eruption.
Held captive,
spent,
another mindless, 
soulless pet.

All she does is wonder why.
why was she chosen?
who is this guy?
Why?
And what is the significance
of that awful crimson tie?

 Soul Betrayal

Seeds Sown

twenty
souls deep within 
freedom stolen from them 
shackled and chained, so inhumane 
no English to speak, no one understands 
their only wish to go back home 
treated like animals 
they are now caged 
twenty 



hundreds 
suffer same fate
in bowels of ships they wait 
placed on blocks and sold like cattle
children separated from their mothers 
possessions they've become 
lives not their own 
hundreds 



thousands 
would make the trip 
destinations unknown 
to plantations with cotton fields 
many lifetimes they would be chained and owned 
some try to escape to freedom 
their skin records the pain 
our shame to bear 
thousands 



millions 
of descendants 
now ask the reason why 
mans cruelty to man astounding 
the whole world watched in silent agreement 
as so many suffered and died 
prejudice left to grow 
wind blows the seeds 
millions 



defined
what is mans worth?
how is it determined?
by the blue of his shining eyes
or the color wheat in his flaxen hair
is not great worth his heart and soul
not the color of skin 
goodness within

Pot of the Poet

Inside the pot of the poet
Is the soup to maw
Prepared of stew during dew
Fishes and beefs crave for
Survival off poet's mouth.
In the soup of the poet,
Ingredient abounds in the pot.

Rhyme pepper appears along Haiku
Epigram stewed Pastoral with Sonnet
Timed Iambic tangle freely with Free verse
Ode speak of Ballad with maggie of Tanka.

Couplet spill curry over Epic of Quatrain
Blank verse added onion to a Canzone
Tin tomatoes had Epithalamium stewed
Elegy took along a dry pepper to an Epitaph.

Carpe diem had groundnut oil gushing
Abc verse sprinkled Alliteration with a palm oil
It took Rictameter of locust beans for a Sestina
Salty Burlesque put smiles in a pot of Dirge
The soup was full of Limerick of Etheree.

Confusion of ingredients in the soup
The poet wilt more in dilemma
Which one of them do I maw?
For the soup of the poet is full.

Malicious magician, with a condescending
Intuition> smooth, alluring with 
Tenacious passion.> supremely menacing.

Warden of your soul> life, his

Beast wrapped in human flesh, mingling.
Euphoria his weapon, seductive, spine
Tingling, demonic soldier.

Demon,
hidden inside
complicating the mind.
****of kind, Monica McMichael.
that is when she wakes in the padded room,
breaking free of satans wrinkle.
******alone in real time.
still inside, her
Demon.

*******Free-verse*******

A voice emerges through the silence and gets louder with every second. Little bumps form
on her arms, chills shoot through her spine.. She looks in the mirror only to
find[reflecting back] a handsome man, a
smooth and charming guy..
dressed in black, 
hair slicked back,
wearing a red bow tie...

Exquisite Love

Exquisite Love:

Mesmerized by your every soft touch,
bringing forth exquisite feelings.
Each moment of bliss lingers,
enjoying your caress.
Warmth of our bodies
is so Divine,
heavenly,
we now
kiss.

Our love,
heated passion
escaping all of time.
We are lost within each other,
together bonded in our long embrace.
Have eyes only for each other.
Our minds communicate
without any words
Our Love

Love
has bound
us now and
eternally
together as one.
We are two souls now one.
We know of no beginning
and we cannot see any end.
This love, a gift from heaven above.
