Long Solicitude Poems

Oh, these trees, arms reaching as they
      did then, but even wiser ... perhaps I as
         well have learned another thing-or-two

Your voice kisses the breath of the morning wind
Snapping in the solemnity that bears a cry unto God.
Angels have come to earth; that in slumber seemed,
Like the wind creaking among the faith we once had.

Long ago in the short-time lively spring
In the grassy plains of a small island
Came from nonexistence a young sapling 
Nurtured by the love of her mother’s hand

The world accepted her newfound nascence
Fueling her a love...

Intermingled threads of my fantasies pour
from the ink of my love on the bare soul
of the letter I write for you, my beloved
The windowpane sparkles moonlit dreams
And I submerge into my visions of you
You, my...

I.

Conversation comes in polite manners
And natural tones.
We talk;
You of your early mornings
While I of scattering
Thoughts that border on nonsense
Debating with myself on a mind divided.
I babble, distraught;
Should I or should I not
Complement such aspect reserved
For...

From “Daily Given and Other Poems”

Come forth, dear friend
Squeeze my hand and kiss my face
Even under the shadows of a pencil away
But you should not forget
You and I are human in our right moment to...

I walked with a giant today along a rippling mountain stream.
He's been my friend for years, I hold Him in high esteem!
Tho' at times I've strayed from His sheltering love and care,
He always welcomes me...

Penetrating the window the moonlight casts onto my desk wheyey cream of gleam

Bypassing the door ajar extends afar my reminiscence in wee wisps of waft,

Ferreting out your memo and dusting dog-eared pages before sallow lamp...

In my human sexuality
I have a biological urge and, needs.

Negative straits that dictate

Though words the same

Memorable moments mystified by gilted pardons,
Iridescent solicitude. 
Exclusiveness of me and you. 
Purge uncertainties born historically of mislaid intent.
Time presently misspent. 
Risked future wagered, 
Unbelievable carelessness. 
Could one ever surrender fate?
Retrospectively regretful. 
Oblivious to your...

Amidst the amazing aroma of the angelic sticks
Cheering along the chants of charismatic priests
Promising on the petals of pearly purity 
You said, "I LOVE YOU" 

During the dreadful dreams of dying waves
Glancing through the glass...

Subtle ineffable feelings of affection and solicitude,
Amorous as like swallow's ,
Ephemeral and unavoidable,
Too much like water of deep stream.

Throwing myself into love like suicide into river,
You entered into my life like a miracle,
Like a misty...

Saturate me sweetheart, sweet smiles shall be seen-
Skin to skin sated in slow songs sung with safety. 
Show shores of sand sparing storms from smoke, 
solitude shall sever, seized shall be sinister shade. 
See the...

taciturn springs rising
from within the quarry 
of deep earth's wisdom
urging lyrical waters to transpose
while held like singing seas of living reveries
of history and infinity
misting to meld with rainfall dreams
Falling like ancient messages
into the orchard of...

Have you ever wondered what you mean?
When you love someone or what it is about
Love can be describe in so many ways
Like an ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude
toward a person or as the emotion...

Affection and solicitude
rises in my eyes,
shaped into tears
as fresh as dew,
she was first and new,

lays calm and motionless
touch lost, ways parted,
Best of moments passed
as a flash of light,
an absolutely unprofitable life,

Rosy cheeks,
glittery eyes,
knee long silky...

Can you read the jagged story in my eyes
The scars and burns on my hands
It speaks of eons drowning below the depth's of one's misery
To be against the Abon tides
People built their personal kingdoms to...

The present day evils we acknowledge
Are the consequences of our sacrilege
Committed by us, humans of all age
We owe it to greed, avarice and pillage.

No restraint on pinching the resources
Results in rapid depletion of reserves
In our...

Star people





Like diamonds of sky
are the star people,
Lending vivid colours
to every paintbrush,
With talent, hard work 
and diligence intertwined.

But lives are being watched
what they eat wherever go,
Playing with tender emotions
people intrude privacy,
Measure for every action
a debate...

Remember the frigid december,
coldness, draught and damp.
She waited until september,
that tawdry promiscuous tramp. 

Gone by day and on display,
street corners, pimps and thugs.
Burning ashes in a cigarette tray,
and abusing all sorts of drugs.

On the fill...

What a perfect body you possess,
I just can't come into terms with the shape of your lovely creation.
How good it looks from all manner of views,
I can't comprehend by your solicitude nature towards me.

Like a balloon, I am tethered
Cares, like strings,
tie me down  

‘Til the light of dreams
comes to me 
and severs my binding,
releasing me from my earthly burden

Not only do I fly from consciousness, 
but from...

Wagari Maathai,
Boldness,eagerness,harmless
Was for a benefit,
Through melancholy,
You paved in,
To nail down the,
Green glamor.

You turned into waterworks,
When the cut down
Was on process.
Jubilant than ever
when germination flourished.

Likes tots
You looked after,
To see none but their growth,
The nourishment you fought...

Day One was Our first 
meeting...........

Enamoured in love with your 
charm,
I left my house to meet you.
As fresh as the morning dew 
shining in the sun.
My heart throbbed in solicitude.

You stood as dry as seaweed...
