Long Unguarded Poems

With these lines I’ll relate an intriguing tale of dubious accuracy
For I Hope to unveil sordid affairs of more than one conspiracy!
Be warned, that though you might be disturbed by the facts I relate?
They are...

Despite his impatience to show me his hell,
He waited for me in my rest, 
Lying upon the ground, I awoke in prayer,
Thanking God above and asking Him for guidance

“My heart is Yours, always,
From the moment...

The fifth floor was decorated 
With fancy art work. Molly 
Rang the bell. After a few
Minutes an attractive older
Woman answered the door.
She threw the door wide Open 
After she saw them 
with Damian. "Hello Hello...

Sudden movement of my heart, a shattered piece of art, 
Broke me apart from the start…rolling in the inner death-cart
Heartrate going sky high — I won’t lie nor can I deny that life cuts deep...

World Bleeders (#777 words)


If you claim to be sane
in this crazy whirled we live
I pity the world in your domain
in that you forget to forgive
I think your normal is abnormal
You must be one of the...

Ma,
Why do I need to apostrophize you? Why did you flew away into the celestial regions so earlier? Is it because you are from a land where ‘twenty is plenty’ for women? And hence, ignoring...

I know you want to appear tough
You want to pull off cool
Being a strong macho man
That’s part of the unspoken rule

I know you act so indifferent
When you see me passing by
But when I happen to...

Am I unhealthy and unsafe oppressed,
suppressed,
repressed,
right-brain negatively depressed?

Not really all that:
competitively left-brain impressive,
first through last impression 
newsworthy,
enticingly marketable,
profitably commercial,
slickly corporate,
predatively intelligent

More camouflaged
unnoticed and undefined
unrefined
and, frankly, perhaps unstable

Because of my environmental circumstances?
as liberal lovers
would have failing...

Rain had relegated him to a trough of his own making

He sat in a muddy pit once ice thawed...

The Palace Guardiennes were the sultan’s delight,
resplendent in their tight uniforms
of scarlet and magenta silks,
embroidered with golden flowers,
with sterling silver scimitars in
ruby studded scabbards
hanging off lovely hips,
and boots and belts of finest faun-skin
and helmets topped...

Walking through the guarded gate and onto my children’s school grounds, the impact of the 
80mm and 120mm mortars crashing to earth caused me to pause. When you couple this with 
the repetitive thrumming of...

You are standing there
Solid
Resolute
Unbending
Unmoved
By my womanly charm

Your eyes look straight ahead
Not taking in my curves
Not noticing the look in my eyes
The sun dancing in my raven hair
The shimmer of my cherry lips

Your hands are in...

“Only girls cry!…Boo hoo!” 
"Look at you"  he taunted me, (as big brothers often do)
Making a mockery. He kept teasing me, heckling me, 
as I whined, and cried, and planned revenge 
Neither of us...

Darkness falls 
Here & everywhere –
Night falls 
Bats & owls rule in the darkness; 
When will dawn be born?
When will Soja-man count 
Counting the myriad of his booties 
On the wounds of my Africa?

When darkness...

In light of good memory of how things were, a woman stands unguarded. 
Pleasantries, talents, and secretive skills.

Tears of such just this a random thought
Sadness or joys for the fleshy beating heart
Unseemly unseeking I'm not looking straight forward
Lamented chess piece ivory casted glass on the board now

In seeking my forwarded righteous mind...

The glossy lamp-posts,
like the tremulous stars and awakening stars,
light up one by one with a click;
and with incredible manifestation
they announce a spectacular sunset
to impatient and eager lovers...
lost in profound contemplation,
feeling the urge of improvisation!
Serenity descends...

This purgatory of cash
which turns our humanity from one
to one against the other
a spiritual infection of loves unguarded desire for life
and life, embalmed with economic ethic
wraps itself in knots around an emotional heart

How many emotional tears have we so cried, us the unperfected,

You and me
It was always that way
From the moment I first saw you
I looked deep into your eyes 
You looked back
An electric shock jolted through my body
Traveling from the top of my head to the...
