Choose feeling guilty in the morning because it’s better...

Poor miserable mysterious color,
Not a dark, not a light, an in between. 
Oh the complexity of gray in laundry.
This neutral hazy excuse for a color,
like the polluted version of white,
or the immature offspring of black.
Gloomy,...

A man unpresidentially known for the showerhead
Msholozi, the man in charge of singlehandedly running a nation into crisis
With him at the helm the public anxiously watches as the state of things degenerate
The rand has slumbered,...

My thoughts reflecting upon a year that is about to pass into history. Each month bringing its own joy, sorrow, and contemplations. I have written It in the form of a couplet, adopting a 12...

Navigating the immense void of night
The right ascension to a winter’s sky;
Coincides with the height from which I stood 
Stars, interlinking crescendo’s so freely,
Imitate the centuries, as I presumed as much.

At least with one tuned...

this morning i woke up feeling like i wanted to cry
my life felt weak and uninspiring
this feeling is natural and i’ve never known the pleasure
of day without it
but
today was different

Am barking like crazy
will he listen to me?
Hoping for a walk over 
cliffs to view the sea.
Ha! here he comes, holding my lead
'tis my lucky day.
My owner is elderly, and so am I,
We are the...

I said My son
you have your house
and sometimes food,
You have your phone
and sometimes fuel,
You have your girl
and sometimes friends
are also fools

But an uninspiring vacation
won't work for you
without a sacred green vocation,
a prime goddess avocation
a divine...

so easily i spill the Truth
that i now share with you ...

confessing my doubts 
and so much more i falter now 
to release...

As we listen to some...

If it's worth doing, do it with a passion.
Let go the uninspiring humdrum role
That fills your days, and never seek to ration
That which enchants and feeds your very soul.
The unforgiving pendulum of time,
Relentless, marking all...

I exist bound by you
like wildflowers planted pitilessly in dry soil
that plunder and devour the strength of my seeds

My stem grows pallid
My petals scentless and uninspiring
My roots withering in arid dust 
strangled by weeds of...

Money Honey
By: Miracle Man
10/12/2018


Ad agencies inform customers in a brazen way,
Each day that the sun rises they’re making hay.
Attention getting commercials are so designed,
To take my cash by planting thoughts in my mind;

They think a...

Is there anything finer than mashed potatoes
Mixed with cabbage, a mountain of joy
Scrumptious with gobs of bad-for-you butter
And sprinkled with parsley, oh boy!

Constantly dream bout this scrumptious delight
Sure sends me to the moon with glee
Don't...

Can I have a moment of your time
You see, I must confess and say exactly what's on my mind

Early on my weary eyes couldn't see because the clouds of ANGER, CONFUSION and DESPAIR filled my...

Is there anything finer than mashed potatoes
Mixed with cabbage, a mountain of joy
Scrumptious with globs of bad-for-you butter
And sprinkled with parsley, oh boy!

Constantly dream bout this scrumptious delight
Sure sends me to the moon with glee

Is there anything finer than mashed potatoes
That fluffy white mountain of joy
Scrumptious with gobs of bad-for-you butter
And sprinkles of parsley, oh boy!

Always dream bout this mouth watering delight
Sending me to the moon with glee

If only life were that of a child's imagination,
Of fairies, ponies, princes and princesses.
The happily ever afters.

The dejected hearts of dreamers cry for what was,
Such a feeling of inspiration, of possibilities.
Then reality hit.

Oh how the...

So I’m always perplexed when I listen to Ani DiFranco singing “I’m not a pretty girl.” I never got that because I always thought she was a pretty girl.  Maybe I’m quirky that way....

The guy in me does fine just on my own.
Attention I do not need constantly.
Because I rather like to be alone,
it’s by myself I’d often rather be!

The guy in me is not so nurturing.
Since every...

A debauchery seed into an arid soil was the start of you.
Although your roots spread deep and wide in this uninspiring
patch of earth.
The growth of your trunk is stunted by a loveless life.
The sap of...

Your eyes tell a story of a life you have yet to live.
Your eyes teach me things that I did not know.
Your eyes burst with light and love and pure joy.
Your eyes turn my pessimistic...

I sit here uninspired. 
Creativity burning but 
page blank - staring back 
with vacant eyes. 

Searching for a word 
a beginning, a flash of 
memory, an image, something 
to start the literary flow..... 

....but no...
