Long Unfeigned Poems

Grief is so unimaginable painful it cant be explained,
To lose someone you love so much is unfeigned,
Once grief comes knocking at your front door, 
Entering your life, It doesn't plan to stay as a guest
In...

I don’t deserve
This kind of punch to my pride
You used your best left hook, uppercut and jab to my ego
Here desperately griping the corner of the ring
Unable to believe the idea
That he ever felt that...

We are the same, but oh so different-
both intrigued by life's strange flow.

Inquisitive as to how-
my Hellish life's led to this "home".

He'd shown light upon my scars- 
in ways I'd never seen before.

He did not...

A cherished childhood spent cocooned in my inward-looking community,
Protected me from the indoctrination of a white-privileged history.
But when I stepped into a world where brown was under-represented
My identity…Was molested.

My speech, skin, hair and dress, seemed...

 Love is always a majestic,
             long-lived, long-suffering

O to fade! To pass! To sleep! To die!
        To live and listen and not to speak -
perchance some alternate reality
    is all my grim...

For this wondrous blessed adventure
My faith revisits divine stones’ feature
Commencing from great Creator’s gesture
for Eden garden’s functional posture.

Toward gem stones’ trip showcasing beauty
I behold them displayed with dignity
Adorning high priest of integrity
Twelve of them sparkled...

Growing, manifesting, enlarging as the minutes pass. Teeth mashing together, grinding back and forth, licking its lips voraciously, eyes keening in for a meal, done letting time circle around, done chasing it down like a...

I have received an obscene comment
from a sick, slandering mouth on this poetry site,
calling me a filthy monkey with intense anger;
and is this person a human being or beast?
And how would I address this demon:...

Go forth, you man of a hellish breed.
Go forth, you man of yellow hair and skin of orange hue.
Go forth, with your wickedness a brew.

Go forth, and dwell in your white sanctuary.
Go forth, with your...

the lonely plight  
of a dissident man 

a single lucent light fueled in the night
so flows pontification and foresight

the crowd it incites
a mass devoted to their leaders spite

the light of one 
the spark of...

A few pages of unanchored memories,

Beneath the host of silence that pierces with the harshness of refusal,
A timid odyssey of splendor quietly sharpens its echo.
For in the depths of oceans of lamentation hidden,
Rests a crystal of strength and unfathomed experiences.

As angels play
their joyous choir,
the shadows of 
the mischievous
do conspire.

As lightning emits
the resounds of God,
the chaos of thunder,
as the rule of Herod.

As Michael victorious,
the Devil's Tower
did fall.
As Lucifer passioned,
a reconciled Christ 
for all.

The lovely ladies
they...

In the heart of the city, where stories unfurl,
Stands a bookstore, my haven in a whirl.
Shelves adorned with tales that swirl,
Each book a treasure, each page a pearl.

I, the guardian of this literary domain,
With quill...

Kindness has left the building as it is so rarely to be found
Now behind a gilded cage the one to which we are all bound
Kindness was a breath of fresh air in being so filled...

By different lovers I’ve been kept,
some skillful and a few inept.
I always respond, unafraid.
I rather enjoy being played.

A Spaniard picked me up one time.
His classic strumming was sublime.
Notes poured from me like a cascade.
I rather...

In this new world let us not talk of order
Let us talk of peace
Order is the ugly step-child of peace
Used when humanity refuses to be peaceful

Order commands
Sets things to rights by force
Real or threatened

Peace accepts

For the angel in my dreams…

 

In your devout embrace, I feel my arctic emotions unfreeze

Heeding those sacred words that murmur like a hypnotic breeze,

Your unfeigned saintly tempest, emancipated my lovelorn shackles

With each unfettered breath,...

I had a dream last night…so vivid so unfeigned
   As you touched my face-my heart became unchained
An Angel with a pen was writing down our script
   You softly touched my skin...

The holy city prized for ancient fame
With silent walls she wails in agony
For centuries ungodly conflicts reign
Her priests and prophets mourn captivity

Unqueened, for her ravished sanctuary
Political pawn is what she became
Religious and unfeigned hypocrisy
Heads bow...

I can’t see beyond the iridescent glow of lights—
forming this unworldly silhouette around his body. 
Yet, I can see him: 
the shapes of his every breath, 
steadily outpaced by his heart, 
which could only hope...

Liquescent sunset fades away, 
From the calm ocean horizon; 
Slow ease, moving, 
Mingling hues of scarlet, 
Coral mood of twilight. 

Immerse in the serene ocean music, 
Waves begin to creep within reach; 
Graceful pull, backs...

When conformists' adherence to
 irksome, empty, shallow, hollow
 obsolete rules

 overrides unadulterated substance...
 imported intuitive works
 of essence, potence...spirit

When lettered law
 obscures, obliterates
 disintegrates
 vital verve

When egotistical opinion
 ascends higher, reigns over...
 tramples on authentic...

As I wrapped in warm embrace,your spirit tinted blue
To oust away thine pangs,in hopes to see thee smile...
I'll yoke ye 'pon my shoulders,to carry through this...
