Shortly after me and mom's showdown is when
I had my one and only out of body experience.I
had been doing dishes one summer Saturday evening as per dads direction.There was a knock at the door.I went...

SAVING DAY LIGHT

I’m the weaving dancer of passion’s delight,
Twisting in between the shafts of the rainbow,
At twilight, but saving day light for my pleasures
Hidden desire, I do this for he my master of fantasy.
For him,...

unsheathing my weapon of choice
so the Creators words of truth once again have a voice
I lovingly landscape your will
smiling in silence as I graciously till
gratitudes garnet garden sprouting
seeds through the darkness starting to stop doubting

SONG OF A PROTESTOR
How sweet to have a conscience that is clear
Can laud myself for righteousness conspicuous
Support all worthy politics, no fear
That I’d be charged as fascist, avaricious

Equality and fairness are my watchwords
You’ve more than...

Once upon a time
I had a name,
a faceless woman
of no great fame

————

I hunt the night
to shadows bend,
its in the Grey
my searching ends

Scoping the cattle
sorting the weak,
A brightness of aura
Is what I seek

Young and lithe
stalking the...

“What is this strange place we find ourselves in
Trapped in the open, we are free within.” 
Perhaps a more interesting question we should ask...
If freedom can be won, how do we consummate the task?

Can it...

Cold and sodden
The rain fell heavy in the night
As if his sins were known to the sky gods
And, in mercy, sought to wash them off his spirit

He knelt down by the old Cheyenne chief
Eyes softly...

Darkness surrounds me 
Leaves whisper in the wind
Shadows all around me
As I manoeuvre downwind 

Like a dark patch of silence
I move low through the brush
My muscles pent up violence
Ready for the final rush 

I catch...

Fealty in service of love
For what I had came from above
Shadows fled wherever I stepped
They smiled back at me, knowing the end

A kingdom pure; innocent in peace
Its fires bright, my sword always sheathed
But I was...

The words
cease to resonate,
not my voice's fault
nor the walls,
it is the absence of
my yang,

sister self;
emerging,
new world
unsheathing its 
unease:
there were two
cries of joy.

Reverberation or
affirmation,
and was there ever
a difference
in the sando shops 
where we stole 
tuna mayo...

The New Griots—Pouring Down Raining Words
From the wombs
of our pregnant minds
may our charged words
drop like God’s tears
reaching the depths
of the precincts 
 of your souls
seeping like His raindrops
to swollen  roots
anchoring life anew
birthing thunderstorms
of revelations
missed...

I bravely gird myself again
to do battle
at morning’s first light
Unsheathing my sword
to take the field alone
for I have no allies
A warrior weary of the fight
my armor dented and rusted
having long ago lost its lustre
I will...

Soothe the mind with troubles past,
pain and suffering that will not last.
Understanding simple facts,
relates your thoughts to heart attacks.

On the brink of chaos' siege,
this crippling pain drops me to my knees.
Take my soul, but leave...

Ye old poets, cause my demise.
My fingers release no signature.
Foolishly, in foolish times,
used to instant gratification,
I want to leave a comment.

Ye old poets, what you do to me;
get under my skin; your lips move
with vicarious...

A silken tongue
lapped the ethereal,
running palms to
part a sheen of need
shuddering in waves,
pushing aside restraint
hung to disarray,
falling into realms
undiscovered


A new dawn smiled
and tri-coloured eyes
meet


Sprinkled in the moment,
an unsheathing begun,
speared in lust.
and glazed  
into the...
