Christmas brings magic with festive warm blends;
Hurl faith dynamic as love sparkles trends;
Rise to joy mystic with hope that attends.
Indulge your own heart with calm peace of mind;
See delight spring start as joy and grace align;
Touch sparks a fond art in beauty you find.
Make your soul lovely with cheer and grand zest;
Allow heart simply to caress wise jest;
Sense a love truly that brings you fine fest.
Be true to beauty that shows you the way;
Live and love warmly true colours that play;
Explore the story of Christ as truth stays.
Sight for the blind comes if you but believe;
See true feelings sum just what you conceive;
Intuit a deep calm that stillness achieves.
Now at Christmas time align mind and heart;
Grace inspires sure rhymes that expound fine art;
See blessings in chimes that forgiveness starts.
Nurture fond goodwill as grace inspires mood;
Open up and feel the touch of soul food;
Wishes now fulfilled as love ushers good.

Be positive then
Let good thoughts attend
Put right your grand trends
Be sure to see right
The path of good sight
Let happy thoughts light
Be friends with good cheer
Purge worry and fear
Joy funds well right here
Be beyond sad gate
Declare your sweet fate
Work then your full plate
Be who you can be
Seek rapture that frees
Live the best you see
Be by habit good
Indulge wise soul food
Love beyond mere moods
Be true to your heart
Let mind frame soul art
Dare live profound start
Be the message bold
Let true love unfold
Love lives warm not cold
Be good to people
For each man struggles
With each day's troubles
Be decent and kind
Yet don't become blind
To hurting mankind

Hi friend, turn your frown upside down
So joy can infuse your melancholy mood
Then the light of joy will turn it all around
My friend,It can be compared to“ soul” food
Smile even when you don’t want to,
Laughter is contagious, not boastful or rude
In doing so, you're changing the tide of sad and blue
Choose joy and let it overtake your soul
Acknowledge your mood and remain true
I know you're sad, let joy make you whole
So you can start to smile from within
You’ll feel better; cause happiness was your goal
Why are you sad? It’s ok, you can win
Hi friend, turn your frown upside down
So you can start to smile from within
Then the light of joy will turn it all around
INTELLECTUAL DESPERADO
Dear desperado,
Knowledge awaits you tomorrow,
If you painstakingly throw
And expedite yourself like an arrow.
Though your foresight looks narrow,
Don't leave your mind incommunicado
Or famished cos at seashore is where ships row.
Ignorance makes devious innuendo,
rising in a fearsome crescendo.
Deface this phase dear desperado.
Despite despicable deeds of a life of struggle,
You're on your way to completing your hurdle.
Education or knowledge is soul food.
Whether from the mansion, the street or the hood,
Whether a Scandinavian, Africana or Caribbee,
Reality gives life to what you grope to be,
It set prisoners at liberty, sail free!
Be consumed with passion like inferno.
Don't just let knowledge sink in but tower
A dormant mind will make ignorance to hover.
Dear desperado,
What you feed your soul in hunger
Makes money out of a mere monger.
Intentionally feed your intellect not just nations,
no matter the circumstances or limitations.
The insight garnered exude theories as Plato.
Knowledge announces you with loud bravado
Making a scholar out of a rascal.
Even mother Earth is a seed of Knowledge, ask her!
With same potency until the last set hour,
Knowledge in hand is worth power.
A hungry soul goes extra mile to feed the mind
And feast on information that one meticulously find.
The rarest example of a kid's mindset emancipation;
Can you fathom the level of desperation?
Starved of light at home for homework & studies,
he took the opportunity to use the street lights.
This kid jettisoned the trap of the dark abyss,
Staring limitation and slothfulness in the face
and throwing up a middle finger with much hate
Can you already tell that this one will be great,
irrespective of the tough and humble beginning?
Even in his struggles, I can tell he's winning.
Despite life's impediment, be strong dear desperado.
Encomiums to this young Plato.

She takes her wand a sugar cane long
And waves it in the air singing a song
She likes to make her heroic cape
From collard green leaves that she crochet
She makes her brazier from coconuts
With licorice straps sticky to touch
Her bald head blessed with a crown
from grapevines with grapes hanging down
Her skin is thin from all the chemo
She is stronger than superman in her soul-food soul
She uses cotton candy to make her socks
Shoes so fancy by Goldilocks
Bet you never again will see
A skirt made of dried fruit candy
Yellow sun rays shine on her face
Fighting cancer with food in more than one way

Don't hate her because she's beautiful
Or envy that she's hot
She is all about appearances
It consumes her every thought
Try to look a little closer
Past the makeup and the hair
Beauty has little value
If a person doesn't care
Looks are her priorities
She doesn't work on what's inside
People tell her she's beautiful
She gorges on her pride
She's an emotional anorexic
Soul food she refuses to eat
Her behavior reinforced
When people fall at her feet
She craves the admiration
The attention she receives
Pretty is her curse
In the end it's her disease
She becomes a caricature
Her illusion to maintain
Fighting the mirror and time
Over and over again
I appreciate a beautiful woman but the Beauty has to emanate from a much deeper place for me to truly appreciate it. The most beutiful women I have met have become more beautiful with each word they have spoken. We need to stop emphasizing the physical when we raise our children, we will then raise up a generation of truly beautiful people.
"Kool for Katz Kissed"
Wake me when it’s all over
I’m having a swinging time
dreaming my purrrrrfect dreams
Hanging with the OM monks
I’m a nun hanging loose and hirsute
swinging in the breeze
I’ve been given a reprieve
Call it Catnip Time
Wake me when it’s all over
feed me soul food on the turn of a warm spoon
love in the time of Covid, you can feel
all the sanguine prowling Mancoons
purring heat, all the Toms and Tomasinas croon
isolation lullabies, cats and fiddles burning
all the boisterous feathered flutter byes
under a saucy Salmon Pink Moon dream
Licking my lips
dreaming of whiskers tickling
slow purrs and legs wrapped
around the kitchen table
I claim this zone of sensations all mine
fresh salty anchovies and warm laps full of cream
love in the time of Covid, you can feel
the sanguine prowling Mancoons
purring heat, all the Toms and Tomasinas croon
Call it Catnip Time
Kool for Katz Kissed
howling's for all the zen masters inside
small torrid rebellions are all off street
AWOL has gone wild
we're all now a little on the tame side
some days are sunshine and smiles
other days we avoid the sad ride
Call it Catnip Time
isolation lullabies,
cats and fiddles
burning boisterous feathered flutter byes
under a saucy Salmon Pink Moon dream
and cloudless
chirping
eggshell blue sky

Jaba Love the bite of "Bhachu"
Leaves the colour of crimson
Your chariots zooming past
Hearts so desire your embrace
Calmy I now chew worlds emerge
Anthaas is when mind envisions
You are sacred very sacred..
Enemies who demonized you
Now revere appreciating you
Tributes see rolling in KING
They cross the ravines of Tana
Since teenage ME adoring you
The glory of SIER
Basking under the SUN
Swayed by the MOUNTAIN breeze
Lustfull delinquents staring at YOU
Your sentry the seraphi GUARD
Seven sons of the LIGHT
Striking the thieving wolves
Forbidden from using you VEVE
Show me your FRUITS..
Let me IMMORTALITY embrace
Now in REBELLION, i embrace you
Let them call us goats
We are higher than Atlantis
Nivarnas beacons in realtime
An electric current uniting
All currents byword Karama
Indeed your word CIIRA is law
Flowing beautiful meandering
MAARANJA is where I will build
My throne straddling the gate
City of gods and immortals
WABA you waters a people blessed
Am but SWORN to protect
A people a tree a vine - ADOOR
JOY does eventually come..
In deeming witness to the STAR
Your sandal straps am not worth..
To untie yet they now yield to your will
The CALL unto repentance
I will call you ELI for you are chosen
Will you my redeemer try my farm
My vine and fruits the best in the land
Not just food but it is soul food
For the JUST ones THE UP-RITE
They were but slain... SHAHADHA
Upon the second heaven am planted
The eastern bypass I see you are open
Its time to gain entry..
For the elect to go home
It's your RULE we desire
Oh JUST one of ZAYUINI
Your word is LAW
Millennia in your presence
The govt from above..
Secrets abound regimes fall
Yeshua You are worthy
Here we are huddling together,
not yet our collective nightmare
nor our communal wetdream.
At our best,
struggling compassionately together
in-between future and past
polyculturally climaxing health
and monoculturing deep valleys
of dark pathology
At our worst,
competing against each other
unscientifically inorganic,
resenting what our elders too liberally exhausted before us,
and what our children and grandchildren expect us
to conserve for them.
Here we are,
re-imagining what becomes theoretically possible
for power of unmerited, and unmetered, light
and not brightness of monotheistic power
Re-creating multicultural serenity
re-storying nutritional economic pursuits
re-deeming MotherNature's political passions
scientific and religious
organic and sacred
pleasures
While finding ever new positively healthy variables
to reproduce multi-regenerational soul food cooperatives,
savory economies of polyamorous healthcare
for geopolitically accessible win/win compassion
Without snapping food from each Other's future mouths
like rabid wolves
Without commodifying
plasticizing
militarizing moist indigenous values
of EarthMother's sacred living water
with rivered freedom to flow out
and rise again,
as we once valued gold
and salvation.
Here we are,
dry-humping Earth's healthy win/win
poly-empowering potential,
huddling against past traumatic win/lose
unenlightened mono-colonizing retributions
Praying SkyFather will not collapse
before we have raped
our sacredly rapturous MotherEarth
irreligiously raw.
Many purple poets with so much to say
Can’t read them all but teal try anyway
I heard red heart beat from white page
Was in your cherry chest but I felt it anyway
I green gain from poems good and bad
I like them short long strong happy sad
I like them peach weak very inspiring
Like comforting soul food hot filling
I read your poems like a yellow song
I imagine your face voice singing along
The comments section is the best
Love it even when it’s rude and a test
Because we can grow despite brown dirt
We can fly like lime kite from good word
Of special importance writing since my youth
I’ll keep at it while reading your words too
