Ruled Out Poems

A double sonnet in which the great detective and his faithful sidekick, Dr. Watson, 
alternately deduce the cause of Sherlock’s latest malady…

Part the first
Sherlock could not deduce his source of pain
at first. “Try as I might, I cannot find
the cause...Read More

God don't let me be misunderstood

I step in to the world innocently

I was no victim of my making
on my born day

I was born like every human

once a baby like every child 

until one day 
the day of transformation

just like adam...Read More

the dark star
the dogon saw the creation of the world
from a dark hole 

up their above the sky it dwells so dark

Like a fly without his/her buzz
even popping a guarana (caffeine) does
not shake the feeling

Insanity enters my distorted simple mind
To raise funds for charity for some unknown,
Impulsive, heroic, death defying, maligned 
Save children or animals or even Sierra Leone

Something not to taxing, not energetic

Pearl drops dotted hither and thither;
Bravo!Greenery ruled out wither!

Thirsty Soil gulps and exhales;
Spreading Fragrance while I inhale!

Breezy bathe done the Earth;

Soaking People What a humor!

Sky, often blinks with dazzling light;
Why roar?Is there...Read More

From the error of my ways 
in the blink of one's eyes 
falling backwards I called out 
Oh God please save me
Inside the crunch mercy echoed 
as warm blood soaked the hands 
running through fingers wetly 

I roared in a...Read More

Where are my worst worries vested
And the incessant fears holed? 
Anxiety arising of unknown angst
And curiosity at its cruel best
Awakening my serene sleep to surf
The mid universe of my monitoring mind, 
Dampening the desire to dare
While breathing the hot vapors...Read More

A connection with life is a breath of survive
Sooner or later destination is wide
Float in the sky or loom for next birth

It’s funny how my frenemies
Sent to me
Pushed me into my destiny.
Years spend yearning for their approval
All for God to do his removal
They were cowards and fakes
Scorpions and snakes
But, now, I am wide awake
And, can see all they tried to take
You...Read More

Where there is understanding
There can be no fear:
The darkness and the light
Do not share the same space

A fellow gets restless,  walking along the shore,
The mystery is of his making, pondering questions 
that the formless, transient ocean,
all the weathering winds, 
the heaving land,
can never answer.

There is drama that may never be denied,
the mystery that took you...Read More

Ever since a little child,
Away from the family he was kept,
His  protests were ruled out,
Searching for the reason,he silently wept.

No affection, love or bed time stories for him,
Always sad and dejected, his childhood was grim.
He longed for his mother's...Read More

What is the purpose, 
of lying to yourself
when it's eating you up inside,

What is the purpose,
of running to hide
as if you could never be found,

What is the purpose,
of pretending not to care
when the most important person,
you're hurting is you

What is...Read More

now that they've finally  
ruled out cancer,
he staggers slow 

in joyous unbelief,
stupefied by an 
explosive relief;

Then I saw her crying
    And this smile grew across my face
I've walked among the outcasts
   Stil, though tuled out, I reign as king

Upon other reasons for my joy
Her tears brought something more
A deeper feeling

Spiced between
your teeth
like a doorknob
and mother's knee.
Vacation hats
and photographs.
A legend lives on
inside your history,
uptown girl.
Lessons ruled out,
new words taught
better learn how 
to walk that walk
and shuffle your cards.
I see your ace
and destroy
the cage 
that sits inside
of your room.
All hope is...Read More
