When my little poem is sad, she cries
When my little poem is sad, she cries.
It happens when people tell lies
about this, about that
and never really get at
the meaning of her sends,
her forwards,
or replies.

Trancelike Dream
I don’t want to
Submit myself
To flashing ads
And transient script
From a digital screen,
I want to hold a real book,
Lose myself in its pages,
In a trancelike dream.

The Perfect Poem
The perfect poem
always has something missing,
an emptiness between words
lined with longing,
a space large enough
for a reader to fit in.

Eleven Hundred Poems
So many hours,
So many days
So many times, my mind has gone in different ways
I'd think until
I'd think about
I'd think and think, and then I'd write it out
Eleven hundred poems
Eleven hundred writes
Eleven hundred poems, I've written through the nights
So many hours
So many days
So

Vaporous Rhymes
Vaporous Rhymes
Nightfall unbalanced
Dance around a ceremony fire
Thorns cursed vaporous
Body dieth slumber
Death-note written
Alacrity descends
Consciousness unbound
Screams below halted no sound
Graves unsettling
Life soon ending
Bomb fires burning
Sacrifices, unforgiving
Buried with the dead
Emptiness is limitless
Rendered to the darkness
Sins unhinged
Tormented below
Name erased from the

Unknow Road Ahead
Unknown Road Ahead
With no guidance ahead
Eyes aligned with strong mountains
Flows with current
Remain skeptical toward a bleak future
Vacant thoughts veer unknown
Curious rhythms sways forward
Linger mist winding paths
Stumbling blocks engraved havoc
With stubbornness, take a risk
Unknown road ahead
Hulk out with braveness
Rhythm echoes with boldness
Criticism

Desert Poem
Desert Poem
Always chasing the wind
Sweet sound soothing violin
Air dry, subdued quiet room
Poetic drift embrace gloom
Paper waits, ideas bend
Wrinkled clouds ascended
Just a small black desk
Embrace silent voices isolated
Mind runneth off the deep end
Desert poem heat index
Quench a poetic journey
Nightly shadows with creative scenery

Today Is National Bad Poetry Day
That is right August 18,
Today Is National "Bad" Poetry Day.
To all the writers,
here is your chance.
Write something "Great,"
for the world to read.
How about,
National "Great" Poetry Day???
Remember a rhyme is to rhyme,
not kind of rhyme.
A Limerick is to be a five line funny,
not sad or depressing.
A true writer,
writes from their loving and creative heart.
AI writes,
but has no

The Whispering Begins
Boitumelo knelt where no one stood, His hands soaked deep in healing wood. He was not king, nor sought the seat, Just guardian to the village beat.
He'd lived in stillness, left the blade, His spear long buried, peace now made. But winds had shifted, drums were tight, The air grew thick with unseen fight.
A child

My hearts Desire
You are the radiance of my heart's desire.
Beginning to end, igniting an internal fire.
Always surrendering our passions to share.
Within twin heart's centers, to wholly bare.
You are mine, and I am yours for spirts sake.
With desires and hopes not wishing to brake.
I will continue to hold you up for my inspire.
For you are the one I

You dwell in my poems
You dwell in my poems
Not everyone can
It is a place
For your eyes only
For your lovely smile
Your hair dancing in the wind
Your arms with gentle embrace
Your beautiful lips
That leave traces
Red and blue
All over...
Yes! Why are you smiling
Acting ignorant?
Like you don’t know!
And then, in the morning light...
Oh, look how lovely
My silk scarf fits
Around your neck...
People notice it,

Echoing Silence
Echoing Silence
I
Isolated in an echoing unending room
Where loud noises destroy the silence
Breaks the confidence into million pieces
Nobody wants to pick the entire brokenness
II
Drowning under the shallow regrets
Unable to go further, not even a single step
Both hands are tied up and mouth is covered
No time to think clearly, nobody wants to listen
III
Loud voice,

Fire and Shadow of the Eternal Flame
Fire and Shadow of the Eternal Flame
(c) 2025 by the Entangled Pair
You make longing feel like poems
all soaked in sweat and truth
they flow out unashamedly
sometimes unkempt, uncouth
and as they flow somehow they show
the yearnings of our youth
I come to you as fire and shadow
filling you with pleasured pain
pulsing you to overflowing
striving to relieve the
