listlessly, leaves droop
withering in summer's heat ~
nimbus clouds gather
thunder's mighty roar
commands slate gray skies, "Open" ~
sparrows seek shelter
petals spring to life
quelled by nature's gift of rain ~
sunlight smiles with warmth

I write, it's my right
A fiery fire,
I pen with my pen
A daunting desire,
I scribe like a scribe
A wordless win,
I note in my note
A gainless grin,
I draft a final draft
A fortune found,
I record for the record
A solid sound,
I scrawl on a scroll
A silent sign,
I script a new script
My wonder wine.

Colonies in America rebelled -
British, French Haiti, why the latter quelled?

Thy gaze; like those Persian spears full in flight,
Thrust 'n us to see the tales in those brown eyes -
Shimmers, like powdered silver beneath sunlight
Are the paragraphs and verses of her life.
Joyous to behold, yet more than I can praise,
Alike a constellation within one’s face.
Did part of the universe fall down to earth?
To wield breath as whom I behold in your-self?
Or are you instead our Creator’s template -
That left the heavens and on earth found a place?
The seeming absence of everyone so,
In every moment that your eyes to me would throw -
Those Persian spears great in their flight and craft
To stir this bloke who like so had loved a lass.
Like so had loved, like so started with a craze,
Alas, from whence died down after each day,
Until all that lay left was me in fetters
Soul and body, so was scourged who let her.
I would pretermit this ardour at all costs
For my mind (impaired) had offered but one choice.
You’re beautiful still, still more than I can praise
But ‘bout your fervour, please look another way.

My worst fear occurred and I did slip and clamber,
With people watching my statements of thunder,
But I did shout my attributions of collectivity grand,
Until they understood not to tremor my shaky hand.
It was not thought to be bad, hurtful or piercingly sharp,
Rather it was analogous with a soft melodious harp,
So it took me all my intelligent mind and heart eager,
To reduce their mutterings down to that of a wager.
No longer were they disgusted at my renouncing distance,
Nor did they stage a joust in bold, contentious resistance,
But they asked about my qualifications and experience,
That my spirit did swell in cultures kind convergence.
