I’ve been a pirate on black seas,
Explorer where the oceans freeze,
A monarch on an opaled throne,
An islander with rings of bone—
Inside the “British Colonies” thick section
Of my boyhood stamp collection.

dead ember wood
creaking left bare
eating termites
in colonies
hard destructive
winged eating bugs
hollow out trees

Birds disperse in colonies caressing the surface of the sky in rhythmic patterns,
stretching refreshed
in response to the scent and arrival of the morning glory's dew and essence
that appear designing the template with silhouette background.....

The dollar bill has lots of thirteens.
Referring to the original thirteen colonies.
Pyramid steps – thirteen
String of pearls – thirteen.
Stars – thirteen.
Stripes – thirteen.
Eagle’s arrows – thirteen.
Shield – thirteen.
Olive branch leaves – thirteen
Olives - take a wild guess.

Down in sludgy footprints
ants built their colonies
once mud has hardened
& cracks go further
in the ground like
explorers in lost caves.
There's mystery
under-ground
deepest seas.....
turbulent waves
will prevent
the findings
of ancient
cities,
like the tunnels
under our feet.

We cling to rocks in the oceans
like ants aboard a rotting corpse;
feeding off a decaying heart;
oblivious to its demise.
Warring over choice carrion,
contriving bigger colonies
on the disintegrating flesh;
slowly consuming the life raft.
Soon, all that will remain is sea;
blue sphere in an ocean of stars.

Are we not already
an Alien Species
only 10% human
home and host to
many foreign colonies?
Yet we thrive
ignoring differences
under a microscope
quite complex and
astounding
To my point
appearance, space and time
are the more and less of
body and mind~ the factual
but not the actual, experience
more truth than any of our physical
fictions

I wonder, as we near the 4th of July,
If the British take note, with a sonorous sigh,
Regretting the fact of the colonies lost
All those long years ago at a terrible cost.
In light of political forces today,
I think it’s more likely that what they would say
Is, “Whew! We were lucky we cut off those ties
And we thought that their accents were all to despise!”

Leprosy
Foolhardy blight that languishes in a musosal drop
Transmitted to the genetically predisposed
That causes dermal cells to mutate
With its tubercle relative to sympathize
Slow surface lesions manifest
And the host begins to realize
Its ancient punishment from the gods
Singled out to be excluded
In colonies for those alike
As microbacterium leprae proceeds to colonize

Much like the feline ferals who occupy my street,
I am quite comfortable living among people, but I do not trust anybody.
Trust has to be earned within the feral community,
which I have gained many times among my local cat colonies.
I also encounter people I grow to trust, but sadly,
very rarely.
If you fit the above profile, more or less accurately,
then allow me to welcome you to The Feral Community.

The fox gnaws flaking muscle
From speechless rabbit, cold
In mind and body. Men shiver
As bodies dry, spat from river.
Rings of globes circle hands
Of the thoughtless, so beaten
From paths to be told of Him,
Waiting until eyes grow dim.
Walking among us is plague,
Standing above us is but love,
These winds will claw our youth
While faith entraps this truth.
Winter comes but we survive,
Breath and bones, colonies thrive.

Verse
I fear my sleep.
For my mind unshackled
Runs rampant
Visiting colonies of forgotten thoughts
And unwanted memories.
It bypasses the chains
And the padlocks
Paying no heed
To their reason for being.
I feel overwhelmed
As past emotions overthrow my dreams
And invades my head
And I am consumed!
The avalanche has begun.
I feel weak
For a fortnight of insomnia
Is the price I willingly pay
As I stay awake to forget

The magnificent perianths
Of the Day Lilies with their six
Spreading bright orange arms (funnel-formed)
Fixed in their clustered colonies
Absent of any luring scent
Still attracts the bees
And the poets aesthetic eyes.
Oblique, penetrating sunrays
Shine through the high canopied trees
Directly onto their blossoms
Seemingly glowing like embers
In a campers dying campfire;
And not unlike the fire, remain
Briefly beautiful and then die.

Men came with their ship.
Armstrong on the moon.
Dust stirred in a sigh.
Rising it covered
the false skin of man.
Sharp, angular
cold dust abrades
charged and clinging
like gunpowder
deal killer
magnetic
lunar dust
hazard
warning
moon
Dust
asset
wonder
arrival
man on moon
colonies
life expanding
a gateway orb
platform to stars
microwaved glass
Moon dust the dream ash
a hydrogen source
an oxygen source
the remnants of stars
histories first scent

Gone are the summer wildflowers
those many, subtle scented breaths
that once allured nectar seekers
and me to their wild colonies.
But now those lifeless peduncles
that once bore inflorescent blooms
decay amidst a grand graveyard
of myriad, deciduous dead.
Gone are the summertime players:
the honeybees and bumblebees,
butterflies and dragon flies
mulberries and elderberries;
brief were the roles each had played
in their own, spectacular way.

Errant clusters germinating tightly,
I invite them in.
I welcome them.
Fighting infection is far from the possible.
Didn’t you know that laughter is infectious?
Tiny colonies spread dis-ease,
a ribbon of cellular folly along angry red flesh.
They flourish on the vanguard, quiet in the deep.
Ebola, e-coli, erroneous children born and buried.
I rest with infection running rampant.
I live with the germs enclosed.

phrases whipped
feelings Pen"man"Shipped
from Continental African Minds,
to AmeriCaribbean Paper Colonies
i am a Slave of Poetry
toiling under hot shining scrutiny
in boundless green feelings
i am a Slave of Poetry
shackled in the dark
dark corners of my mind
malnourished of inspiration
i am a Slave of Poetry
escape this
critics hounding my heels
"massa" hunting me down
how many more till
i can write my freedom
become a Poet
no longer a Slave of Poetry

Bees
September 2016
Bees live in colonies that contain one queen bee
There are 20,000 species of bees u see
They smell with their antennas and have the same agenda
To work 365 days and Scare away predictors with a hive wave
the worker bee and the male drone
Never leave Miss Queen Bee alone
In the sky he continues to fly
Till he finds her home in the breeze, Up high in the trees
Worker bees clean the hive, collecting pollen and nectar
They promise to never neglect her

The lifetime of a mayfly is a
single day leading to eternity,
while a single day for a man
may be lost and ever forgotten
Within seven days mayfly
colonies die, while for
months and years a man
lives silencing own breath
Within a single week flowers
in a vase bloom to rot, while
throughout decades a man is
stuck in a rot unskilled
The speed of time is a virtue to
flowers and flies, while the speed
of time kills a fading man with
regrets and disparaged sighs

Black-Footed Ferrets are listed as, endangered
and are the most endangered mammals, in Northern America
They inhabit the grasslands of, the Northern Great Plains
and are the only ferret species, native to Americas colonies
Native American tribes, landowners, conservation and organizations
have given the black-footed ferrets, a second chance for survival
but habitat loss from, human density encroachment developments
and ongoing plagues and diseases, only decreases their revival
