“More Beautiful Inside”



That morning 
we all 
woke up
more beautiful
inside 

all children 
were safe 
and happy
no longer needing
to hide like Summer

and the love inside
everyone aligned
caring for one another
a pathological kindness
bloomed like a virus
inside us

some say

Sometimes, when 
your sparkling spirit 
waltzes with me 
to the perfumed 
periwinkle grooves 
of saffron breezes, 
I'm lost in a forever gaze, 
within those 
flickering ferns
of a nascent nightmare, 
where I ain't any 
velvet-purple orchid,...

Night lifts ebon shroud from curved satin sky,
drizzle of gold streaks at dawn has begun,
paints pearl on meadow with few dew drops shy,
dance of hue starts under shimmer of sun.
Cadence of cloud descends to flush...

I came from a generation of laughter,
while night faded the flames
freeing the moon from its silence,
flowing with dreams, dewlike 
hopes, singing in tenor, voices rising
from the ashes of a moment
before hearts felt the rhythmic trembling,
bleeding...

Walking on the forest path on a hot summer day,
I find an old oak tree, dry and dilapidated,
with barks peeling off, roots dislodged from soil.
It is waiting for the time to die and fall.
In my...

Inspired by song "Mystery Of The Heart" 
of Hughes Turner Project (Album 1)


In the flushing garden path 
we walked entranced,
the scarlet sun with the spectrum of dawn 
held us within the sequined mist 
of the...

I’m carbon-based,
Resurrection cornerstone foundation laid
Diamond made

These obsidian eyes
sardius shine ...
agate Illuminating
my igneous bright coal face

With volcanic intensity,
my onyx lips glow
And the chest cavity 
			         pressure beneath

This unhappy man in the midst of overflowing opulence living 
like a discolored precious stone in a box of rare jewels was always

Inspired by Glenn Hughes song " From Now On"


In the whispering breeze I heard the birds sing
for you as the sunburst sky flushed your face.
How endearingly attractive you were then to me, 
mesmerized I knew,...

Nearby runs a mountain stream, purified with crystal rays
Of sunshine, in the pines a wild wind flows downwards
Brushing against the thickets, oh what a beautiful country,
For which I dwell in, at serenity’s farthest edge of...

Anna Belle 1619 (Part One)

She set out to Jamestown in 1619
She's a Nordic ship on the sea
She's purple in shades in streams
She bathes in the Caribbean breeze
She needs no bard's flattery
No barroom cajolery
Only God with...

The sparkling dawn lighted up my heart’s horizon, 
spread the sunburst colors of yearning
on the fervent garden blooming with my love,
swathing the facsimile of your florid face.

The patina of rose flushed your cheeks,
glittering with the...

You have called with the wolf in the winter
planted trees that you will never see grow
and we have been a sunburst from clouds that shone
with the watered light of rainbows  

Though you have cried...

Why is it that every time I look in the mirror,
I see someone different?
I know it’s essentially me on the other side,
but I can’t help but think
that I’ve changed.
What’s even stranger is that
I can’t monitor...

Frozen ripples of moments

When in the hued horizon the crimson sun rose
I saw you flash across my dew latticed meadow
Chromatic glare of dawn flushed your satin face
On flow of time the ripples of my...

Free verse : Indulgence

The sunburst dawn’s flaming film 
flushed your flamboyant face,
as the horizon turned to golden fresco
in my dew crowned meadow,
you flittered like a butterfly,
my yearning got poised on frozen time.

Before you could fly...

A pledge to you by Edward Ibeh


I'll always rise with you 
Lying next me at dawn. 
I'll cherish you till my life is through;
When all is said and done.
 
I'll always treat you 
Like the...

On the weary wings of winter the northern winds depart,
their harsh whisper in the frozen air 
the frost-fastened mulberry trees hear, 
“wait, you’ll listen the sweet music soon, 
don’t despair, the serenading southern breeze 
will...

Hands awaken! Speak out! Answer to sacred shouts,
subterranean whispering, to stars above rooftops—
thread sunlit branches with the chattering of a thousand leaves.

If fluxes and urgencies of confusion or death
should drawn you into your self-box, I...

A smile brings light across the soul,
Stirring wonder who makes lives whole.
A smile brings joy into life’s shadows,
Assuring hope roused by One who arose.

A smile sings melodies filled with peace,
Motivating faith that will ever increase.

spreads the sunburst tinges 
of my timeless yearning,
paints gold garden in heart’s canvas, 
blooming with luster of my love,	
unfurls...

with the sands of Kiawah Island, grains glistening like scattered stars,
each a tiny sunburst caught in the curl of the earth.
We danced under the great blue...
