Motherland carnival
The sky was draped in night’s black cloak, With a sprinkle of white specks in bloom. The yellow moon slipped into a gibbous cocoon, As sunshine fretted in crescent-shaped kites. But the streets today were painted in bright colours— They cloaked the rainbow in a toga of envy. Many danced and sang in melodious harmony, Dressed like masquerades with neither masks nor...

Orpheus In The Undergrowth
"As the greatest of all poets and musicians, tho' you may call me 'liar', Hermes may have invented it but I perfected the lyre and with my music and singing if only I could see the forest for the trees I would coax the woods to dance for me but, on the other hand from where I stand, it appears to be, looking at it from...

Premium Member The Toll of a Single Bell Chime
A bell tolls — with a single chime. Igniting the spell of dawn’s regret. It halts the breath, suspends all time, Foreboding with threats you can't forget. You flinch—one foot on the stepping stone, The wind's first touch scalds your face. Just one finger grips your hand alone. You wait for relief from bell’s disgrace. The silence palls where echoes die— The ring bell...

Premium Member Shredding In The Ghetto
Intro Out past the corner store, where the ice cream truck fears to roll, Lies a block with more rhythm than a washing machine on spin cycle, Where the cats wear sunglasses at midnight, And every pothole’s got a story to tell. Tonight, I tune my axe—rusty strings, missing a knob, Ready to melt faces in the moonlit back alley, Like a...

Premium Member Both Sides Now
'Both Sides Now' on YouTube Music by Joni Mitchell Poet's verses: Bows on solemn flower blooms and scented layers of flared perfume flow down rows of headstones and tombs. I've looked at death that way. But now I tend to ask God why people visit and freshly cry. We all know when loved ones die they rise on His stairway. I've looked at death from...
