Long Ripple effect Poems

Part-1: Preamble

God loves us, so He split Himself in two
Motionless as space, kinetic as time
Shiva and Shakti; truth known to but few
As the word of God - Om sounded life's chime

God's vibration caused a ripple...

in the light, bruising shadows shun
the moon and stars,
the wind who blows,
the nightly wishes – rivers of hope
seaside moments, poured out on the sand
remembering the silence
of yesterday’s sin – her secrets
no longer mute, but hesitant...

Talking about it just kills me inside
This feeling of wanting to simply hide
My pride is broken...
Words left unspoken...
I just want to get high, high, high
Got to strut my stuff - can’t deny
Low self-esteem - it’s...

our home care workers would lose their essential care taking jobs and their
clients would also lose their necessary services.

If you are on Medicaid, you should send your own cards to your Senators.

Riding tides since creation
Unfamiliar sensations 
Looking back to see my face
All is void black filled future 
Ignorant of our true nature 
Riding this wave of confusion
Feeling the ripple effect 

I cant defect this mold
Thick as...

Everchanging is this universe, with many twists and different ways;
Sometimes we get up with a burst of energy, sometimes we leave things for better days.

However, we must accept, that everyday is new;
We should make the...

To My Brother (Cinque E. Mingo) - You are truly missed (9/7/84 to 5/8/07)

Life is too short
This we know
Never knowing
When it’s our time to go

I woke up one morning (5/8/07)
Went on to work
Got a phone...

Dear exam
Sincerely I don’t hate you, I just don’t like you
To be fair, I don’t think anybody does
You issue countless threats in the name of tests
A series of poison in carefully measured dosage
Administered by well-trained...

You broke down barriers and set me free
Like butter that melted for the cause
You spiced up my life and flavoured me
With delicacies from foreign shores
Covered my head with jelly fish moulds
Told me to dream then...

Why did you kick me out at 14?
I find this highly disturbing and obscene.
I had nowhere to go and you sent me on my way like you had nothing better to do that day. 
You...

First steps on crisp new snow,
Flakes dancing with sparkle and glow,
Vibrations rising from the toes,
Through the body to the soul.
Snow clad trees, strength they lend,
To the weight as they bend,
Creating tunnels, spectacular view,
Over untreaded paths,...

Things fall into place.  
Wait long enough for love to arrive and things fall into place.
Brick by brick, fountains are made.
Building a future of titanium before the grave.
Happy days are back again.
Make no mistake.

We’ve al witnessed the ripple effect of tossing a stone into a pond…
How the ripples from the point where that stone hit’s the water…
extend far out…beyond.

Ripples of love have the same effect…
once love is tossed...

I hate the way romance is lost
on the societies of today;
The ripple effect is a greater cost,
for love becomes a mere game to play.

No more flowers and dates,
just ice-cream and kisses;
No more endless debates,
just morning...

It's an institutionalized war against a black man,  
Yet we celebrate deceit, glorify the shallow plan,  
Brothers lost in lust, in lies, in shame,  
Building a broken nation, feeding a hollow flame....

Nothing turned out the way I wanted it to.
Everything holy crashed down to hell.
No nothing turned out the way I wanted it to.
Thinking of it makes me unwell. 

The fairytale guidelines never warned us
What happens...

the heart is always right
unless this time it’s wrong
and this time is not like all the others

this game he must not lose
too much at risk
no room for error

is it worth the risk
has he hit the...

(1)
Strophe
Slowly and slowly fly the mighty feathers:
the uncanny wrath bearer, the poacher's prey,
the bald bizzare stigmatic cryptic creature, the ecology's majestic role player;
the curtain raiser of ecosystem's  air purifier.

Alas! Your iconographic role is omitted,

"Dragonfly Teases"
 

 
He sweetens 
his days
and nights
Poe like
holding fishnets
clicks bait
and sweats
absent 
casting 
mystery 
reels 
he spins 
on the 
mouse wheel 
eternal 
harsh
addiction
he’s hooked
on numbers
in the trapping
is trapped
in the books
he is cooking

Some kind

He Is….


He is the summer sun
that kisses the back of my neck
Giving me the sort of warmth, that only love can give
and
brought the colour of life 
to my dead 
and pale skin


He is the wind...

Some ghost in peoples mind need to control,
every aspect of circumstance to enroll.
The raging spirit in constant demand to chase illusion,
with sweet words, drama and phony conclusion.
The fear of not being in charge by all...

Am I the explosion or the explosive?
 Am I a part of the living or part of the 
dead?

Does it really matter, if I breathe or dont, 
It doesn't make a difference , I don't...
