Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 29
Somehow,
Forward, and headlong
I knew it was day again
There was a shift in the dark mutterings of the Devil,
Who now refused to sleep as I refused to sing,
Almost an anticipation in his voice,
As if he...

6 Months In 1992
Although the people, place, and time were different,
it was rather clear to me that I had seen this picture
in 1973. It was as if history was repeating itself in 1992.
The year prior had ended on...

Triumphant Leaders Part 2
Marcus, as a child heard it all, the oral stories
Ancient in glories quickening his vein. Like blood
Rolling where the Roaring river runs, peonies
Calling up ancestral history in dream and flood
Unfold desires of in streams of...

Juxtaposed Awareness
JUXTAPOSED AWARENESS
On and within the fullness
of this beautiful sunshine day,
I peacefully sit here pondering
the present chaos of the world.
How awe confusing…it all is–
outside, flowers are blooming,
birds and butterflies are soaring,
and the quiet wind...

Daddy
Daddy never told me I was pretty
Instead he told me to be smart and study.
Read a lot, be well-behaved and witty.
That would bring you far. Now I am muddy
And stained with hearty failures, ugly...

Untitled
I woke to you exploring my coastline
finger tracing every hidden, jutted stone
weathered wood
and whipping titanium grass
Your muffled voice in the dark
filling up the creaking tide pools
in india ink
careless and velvet
I find I can...

A Song For Your Ears Alone
If I could write a ballad no one else but you would hear it.
If I were god I would tap into your special frequency so that other prying ears
would not be able to judge.
If only...

Praying For Autumn Rain
Oh, Autumn, our beauty, our bridge. Most times, you are very good; but sometimes, your season brings the BAD*. Only on rare occasions do things turn ugly. Usually, when I think of you, I am...

November
For some reason not even the earth could change my mind
The wind banging against my ears
And the dark night couldn't disguise it.
The oak trees could protest their judgement
And the ocean can keep wailing
But my...

Reassured
*Reassured*
Amidst the glitzy party, I wallow in suffocation,
Secluded in the bathroom – my apt accommodation.
Trapped within the hollow walls, I weep aloud,
Brutally slapping myself until my brain clouds.
My nerves throttling, I strangle...

Top of the Roof
Daddy told us not too,
while Mom sourly warned.
Though they scolded,
loud and clear,
we devilishly disobeyed.
Up on that roof top,
at least 30 feet from ground,
carelessly balancing on the shingles,
one step,
two
we were so young,
so adventurous,
the nights lasted...

Take From the Giving
Plaster the walls with mud.
Shake the heavens of the blood.
Bitter tasting and sourly sweet.
Were the feelings that sat at my feet.
Black curtains of faces so torn.
Worrying seems so forlorn.
Tear the tears and tear the...

Cycle of Love
One minute you say you love me..
The next minute your griping and yelling.
Within an hour we start talking and stop bickering.
Then at the end of the day you come home and start your clamoring.

The Cultivators

each with a bowl of bread
given unto them by a lord
trying to speak and be strong

Resistance Before Death
The dying from torture should this resist,
Over the struggle to hang on persist;
His would-be killers punishing badly or a little
-Like glass taking for the still brittle-
With teeth that still understand ‘How to bite’
And palms...

Sour Face Gestures
Sugar Cain spin speeches

Facial expressions is...
