BONDED STIFF Our love knows no swiftness; It's tied and bowed in stiffness:- Oh, our love is no played game; Rather, it's an everlasting bond attained:- May our love ever be as if a Royal Palace Ball: One hoped and wished for, by nobles & humbles all:- May this precious bond between you and me, Be granted a blessed bonding...

OF WE AND THEY/EVEN US AND THEM! * In the beginning We were the architects Of God’s designed world; Then came them— The devastating forces Of its Garden Of Eden Decline:- We were the flowers And fruits of the Garden; Then they became The slithering and coiling Slime of disobedience And disrespect:- We were chosen To teach cross bearing With the Bearer thereof; Then they—save Mark— Tried...

To escape the tumult And noise of the world, I unlock And enter a secret door to The serene haven of my mind. ...

They shout for a piece of my mind— I offer the quiet, forged and cool, Not shrapnel, not wildfire, not the grind Of teeth on bone, but a deeper tool: A breath that holds when the structure sways, A root that grips when the landslide calls. Peace isn’t the absence of the blaze, But the choosing of water when fury sprawls. It’s not...

I think I shall - oh yes, I shall put you to words in books, et al and share my scoundrel’s rationale with those of impish-like morale but pray you beg me love - your coquette kiss, thereof … (oh yes, I think I shall) I think I will - oh yes, I will make sure,...

from the forest deep she came like one jaguar gently prowling drawn there by my late-day flame typhoon in the distance howling black hair with a coal-blue sheen eyes like ink that shimmered golden ...

The Ferris wheel, a spoked and sputtering crown, Pinned back the velvet dark. We paid our fee In crumpled bills, bought passage to the town Where gravity forgot to work its shift for me. Neon stuttered sermons: "Try Your Luck!" "See Freaks! Win Love!" The calliope’s thick breath, A sticky-sweet confection, made us drunk On promises spun sugar-brittle, sweet as death. We traded...

They asked for a piece of my mind— so I offered silence, wrapped in gold. No rage, no clamor, no thunderclap, just breath unbroken when the world turned cold. Peace of mind isn't a destination, but a pact with storms I’ve learned to outlast. Not the absence of chaos—but grace, in the moments I choose not to cast judgment, holding fast. It's the...

The factories no longer exhale fumes but fillers Clanging steel is traded for selfie stick. Whip is gone but the gaze remains. Wage is still dingy and stale. Accepted without questions. When the labour was visible, we called it brutal. Children with soot in lungs, blistered hands, bodies bent before they grew. Now the soot is scrubbed, hands are clean but the bending of...

TO BEING HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY Because you are in it, This is a blessed day To enjoy and be glad in:- While some have been called in, You have been given another day To be an instrument of His Peace And a daily reflector of His Love:- Despite the painful challenges, This day will confront you with, Healing grace and divine wisdom Shall guide...

WITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges, Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones, So must we be as we continue to struggle Along the freedom road to promise equanimity:- As we encounter injustice’s walls of opposition, Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho: Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude...

JOURNEYING WITH WISDOM Like the sun and its being, Wisdom knows no dimness; Her light is eternal, and where she is, There can never be ignorance of darkness:- For like the sun, she shines forever bright In the inner sanctum of the ego of mind: Inevitable truths, flowing like an enlightening river From the valley of the womb of God’s infallibility, Forever birthing the...

like steaming water seeps through the openings in the bottom of a colander the wisdom of ages past is filtered by my conscious mind leaving all but a few bits and pieces caught in the process I am ashamed to only share the remnants of the astounding truth that came to me giving only the morsels that manage to...
