Long Unsoiled Poems

"Petrichor "



Two minds 
have made an entrance
magnetic bodies electric
minions babble 
it’s just wasted white noise
sandpaper against back stories hit
The Wall of Wasted Time
He’s read most between the lines
He’s all hard hot and cool
unruffled piercing eagle...

My first great faith journey
involved exiting EarthMother's nighttime womb,
without even a first language
except what RightBrain inherited
from noticing emotive taste and feel
and healthy/pathological touch
memories prehistorically Win/Win
and Win/Lose
and Lose/Lose souled
unsoiled either happy or mad,
learning both/and health-resilient midways.

In Chambers Grand, where silks and laughter played, 
A voice within, a question soft and low, 
"Tell me, dear Yashodhara, what ails your heart? 
Your eyes, once radiant, now seem weighted by sorrow's dart.”
"My burden...

Nature breathes peace through the whisper of leaves, the tenderness of a silent breeze, the roar of thunder and even the rain’s sincerity. Nature breathes harmony. ~ by poet

In the splendorous sapphire space of my pristine heart, 
shimmering in the sanctified radiance of the indigo night,
you gleamed like seraphic sequins of argentine moondust, 
making me feel fascinated as I sensed your cerulean sheen.

Welcome sports fans to the Twenty Sixteen Presidential Race,
Spring Training is full upon us as the candidates align.
Two strong teams build their ranks for the coming season,

Rookies run...

When the darkness finally consumes the remnants of my mind
Oh the broken pieces
They struck the floor this morning at dusk
Cutting my toes
Leaving butter and blood to intermingle
Like cutting away at human flesh
To match this unreachable...

Invincible craving for the relish from home, 
Laughter in deep dimples sets as lava, seats silently with desires.
 Mother’s medicines rejuvenate,

Food, Bring them from Africa.
Especially from Mami’s kitchen, 
Where the aroma helps develops patience, 
The...

What “ matters” matter?
the why of things, the how?
If I spoke in an enlightened manner, 
would you be convinced of my meaning?
Women cry out like children, 
Stomping feet.
Misunderstood. 
Belly dancing around issues.
Men stand stoic, offering...

I hear thunder trembling on the ground
Lawford's cart is coming down the lane
Contracting into pain
Grumbling like a young girl
Feeling her end of month pain again
Crying in the embrace of her womanhood
Passing like landslide under her...

A surly old maid
had an urge to be laid
and bemoaned her virginal status
with life discontented
her plight she lamented:
"'tis not easy to live without coitus."

A scheme she invented
got polished and scented
tweaked her pointers to swing more...

"Poets are Us" 

The blood dripped 
off each piranha's 
sharpened fang

acquiescing 
compliant
with tragic complacency

keep it neat and clean
within the margins
no detours 

stick like Teflon
to the poetic rules
virtuous and unsoiled

pristine are us
sanctimonious sugared...

Awed by the scarlet cone flower’s beauty, I sense her purity.
I give her a reverent birth, thrilled by her loveliness.
Her confidence oozes into the garden with rapt maturity.
She has a delicate countenance that shows such...

Just because I wear black glasses
Does it mean the universe is black?
Just because I find thorns and bushes 
Does it mean all face the same too?
Just because I see one side of the globe
Does it...

SEE ME


Could you?
I pray 
on my knee
I fiercely plea 
could you
SEE 
ME?

Really see me?
Know the real me?
Try to be me?

Could you agree
to take the dive 
see where I’ve been
wade in my skin
let that sink in?

Not...

If I am who I say I am,
And what I claim to be,
It won't be hard to figure out,
My actions tell the story.

I cannot sit 'midst muck and mire,
And claim it isn't so.
I can't ignore...

The women sing songs to the moon,  
Praising its beauty.  
They dance and sing when it’s in its full glow,  
Their souls ascending and descending,  
Transformed into priestesses.  

The men...

I wonder why we stopped speaking
Didn't think we would be dis far gone
The future looked like yards of teru cloth
Pure yellow, unsoiled
We splashed d colours
Missed the drawings and strokes
We made a rainbow mess.

I’ve
climbed the highest ladder
repaired frost damaged stone slab roof,
sat on top of telegraph poles
digging snow on Daughton heights
metamorphosis into maturity, was this proof?

I’ve
froze in seventeen degrees of frost
my spade glistening in winter’s feeble sun,
trespassed in...

I am African, I affirm that i am Original African

with all the dignity of the first human. 
unashamed, unbowed, undaunted.  I am African.

"The pure heart is a spotless mirror in which 
images of infinite beauty are reflected"

What is this contagion that’s spread?
Replicating over and over again,
Feeding on an area until it is dead,
Then to another area it moves instead.

A virus is what we call this thing,
A corruption that insidiously grows,
Something with...

So pristine each drop wrapped tenderly
by clouds as air into water processed.
Why a diamond shaped of natures play
or of gravity earth awaits, greedily
life yearned for its fall from grace.

Longing for its purity Man restless,
salivating for...

In the tranquil of the night, 
In a vision in his bed,
He sees her haloed with light,
Running through the field,
She stops and waves at him,
He’s captivated by her beauty,
Unsoiled by life's vicissitudes,
She smiles, shakes her...
