from the pink part of my nails!...

The darkness has bowed down
Brush off any frown
Smile in a fresh gown...

A ghost tried to scare people off
But they gave him the big brush-off
He cried his heart out
And started to sprout
Then suddenly he took off...

Horn Kitty Limerick Number Four

Kitty never did fret or fume
Liked going from room to room
While all of us trying to find
And who he had left behind
Gave us brush off with a broom.

Walked at the mall this morning right outta bed
Clucking and squawking like an old hen with the bends
Perseverance is a must
Just brush off the dust
Showing all the youngies this old guy ain't dead...

It’s official I’m like a China doll,
Put me on a shelf till you decide 
To brush off the dust to be with me, 
I know in time I’ll be forgotten,
With every passing day with cob
Webs, and piles of dust and never
Resting, cause you see China dolls
Don’t shut their eyes to sleep, they
Wait.....

Screen Obsessed Teens
Finding home in cold dark screens.
Show support, send a like,
Post another, cry all night.
Yet another insecurity.
Take a jab at another's purity.  
Swallow a pill, lose some weight;
You feel so heavy the scale could break.
Strive for beauty and perfection.
Pretend to brush off society's rejection....

Brushing My Teeth

Haven been told when brushing my teeth,
Is like water that flows through a reef;
Up and down,
And all around;
Would wipe brush off with a long leaf.

Now my mother will leave me alone and
stop asking me if I have brushed my teeth.

I  see
Your fall
Instead of
Picking up
I brush you off
But allow
To take
A try
Again.

I see
Your mistakes
Instead of
Correcting
I let you
To find
Your own way
Though silently
I drink
Poisonous pain


I see you cry
Instead of
Wiping out
I let you
To shed tears
To wash
The dart
Accumulated
Long
Inside
To see
The things
Clean and afresh....

I've watched you brush off flies for years
Sometimes allowing them to linger and feed off your sweetness
Sometimes swatting them into splattered spots

I am happy to be your butterfly as you tell me, though I fear I will just be another fly.

You keep my wings painted, and I will keep the vomit off my hands

This love that keeps the flowers blooming...

Brush off your ant bites.
Blind eye the hornets sting.

Gone so long with ways of violence.
Creatures having done nothing wrong.

But it’s fine “they aren’t important”.
Legs or wings or hair you just can’t bare.

Squash and flush because no voice.
If it spoke would you still fear?

Darling child with bugs in jars,
May your care linger on and on my dear.

Listen to poem:

To be a bee 

is not to be becoming
as pollen dust 
defies the brush off.

is not to be becalmed
as the buzzer is never silent,
never switched to off.

is not be idle 
as bees are frightfully busy 
all of the time.

is not to be solitary,
as hives where bees live,
always swarm with bees.

Bees are never asked 
'to be or not to be' questions
about being bees....

L-et's shake our heads no, 
O-nce we are lured by the devil; 
R-efrain from being tempted, 
S-tay in our sacred
S-kill.

C-ome shake our heads no, 
E-arly fourteenth of December; 
L-isten not to fascinating talk
E-nchanting us to surrender.
S-ee the light of the truth, 
T-urn a blind eye to faith's foe; 
I-t's best to brush off the doubt, 
A-nd shake our heads
N-o....

Something that I cannot resist something that is on my mind I want to have I feel that I got to have it.

Even though it is not good for me but I crave for it this feeling is killing me inside it is burning me up.

I feel like if I do not give in it will hurt me inside but the whole thing is all this does is make me stronger.

I hope that I can brush off this bitter temptation and move on....
