Premium MemberNew year declaration

We were on our own
Minding our business 

Weighed down by crushing unemployment 
Thoroughly disillusioned by the art of promise and fail

We were disoriented by the perennial lie 
Of being leaders of tomorrow 

While we watched the promised future 
Dissipate before our very eyes

Stolen by evil forces that have held the country 
Down since after the

Minding other peoples’ affairs or businesses
Some villainous pundits or vile hyenas are the best
In simply doing just that, comrades. They ignore
Their own problems. They leave a huge door
Ajar, wide open, so they can put their flagitious nose
In their neighbors’ personal businesses or affairs
Please, always have the fireman’s water hose
Ready, in check and in full force

Minding Business

It's funny when some people barge in the business of others and leave themselves startled by what to others are just normal things to do, and the things they can't understand.

Who's Minding the Children

Innocence lost
and being ignored
sin destroyed 
sickness and little hope
confusion of mind
How can fathers detach so easily?
And who’s minding the children?
Broken homes
absentee fathers long gone
mothers now abandoning them too
or too busy to love and care
child abuse and perversion
What happened to the fathers who say they are men?
And who’s minding the children?
Taught to think of only self
gangs

Poets count on fingies
To get the meter right.
Scribes of prosy thingies,
In randomness delight.

Minding the Heart

my mind wakes me up at  three
wants to tell me what to write
my heart says wait till the morn
and turns out the light

my fingers grab for the pen
and a notebook kept at the bedside
before it’s half past the hour
my eyes close and hide.

words are scrawled above the lines
nothing rhymes from page to page

Minding the Soul

It was just a stretched out word
 that eases in on the still and quiet
 when a moment lingers
 on the edge of forever 
 hovering, contemplating, pondering life.

It is a deepened observation
 of the colors of the sky,
 the changing of the seasons,
 the innate natural beauty
 of the world around us.

A longing search

Abstract Minding

Veined whispers
   floating
Coursing freely
   releasing
Physically subjugated
   creating 
Cosmic reeling
   exploding
Tempestuous yearning
   drumming
Precariously woven
    flaming
Passionately related
    speaking
Metaphysical tounges
    wagging
Scientific lifelines
    swimming
Spiritual pathways
    howling
Refutable rituals
    shocking
Collective intensity

Premium MemberMindfully Minding My Mind

The quiet of the late afternoon sun

Is all that I wanted to hear.

The rays casting shadows in the room

Is all that I wanted to see.

Watching the daylight move around the walls

Eased the tension and stress in me.

A few moments to gather my thoughts

Time, so precious, so dear.

Comfortably sitting here

Relaxation drains me of life's fears

Just a

Minding My Mind

In those dark days 
When every time is a down time

Those days when for a dime
You could spare a prime rhyme
And pay a dollar for a cent 

Those days when the slimy 
Tongues of foes wag in ecstasy
Those days when life seems to turn tide 
And you feel God has finally gone blind 
Alas! I

Minding the Matters of Apparent Urgency

I breath
My breathes
Floating
In front of me
And you
Didn't mind
You'll never
Mind

I convulse
My convulsions
Shaking
My core
And you

I babble
My babbles
Confusing
All humanity
And you

My shutters
Breaking me
Inside out
And you

Helps me

And you
Don't know
You'll never

Minding Shakespeare

True love(r) never dies, they say;
pun is more of a fun rhyme to sway.
As for whom this giggling heart
bleeds the most? Know, I always 
carry mine with me, ‘til I become pond water;
and hidden not in my eyes, often awake for love, 
as they easily show blushes of my thoughts,
ramping over the wall of judgment.
Alone

Minding Marriage, Or Marriage of the Minds...

We lean in, like a sculptured work in progress,
enigmatic scent to kiss,
when suddenly,
the three inch wide orange rubber bands around our wrists,
pulled behind our backs,
spring us away from each other
at supersonic speed.
Hair flying in front of our faces, slipping through wind without weight...
Back to opposing sides of the world,
tethered to work, anxiety, bills, and the
