The Painter of Trees

Observing carefully the details
The painter of trees
Taking notice of tree shadows
More elongated than their
 
Counterparts - whether it be 
Light of the Sun - or Moon
The painter of trees
Brushing strokes accordingly

Did rather more than she ought
Astounding her male counterparts-
With her creative mind
Wrote the first book of its kind

Love on the Run

A touch too close and a gaze too sincere,
Was the Jenga player about to pull an upset loss? 
Faulty by design, promise and execution 

Does a good love need time to catch its breath? 
Or does it weave long exhales into conversational counterparts?

Deprived Nigerian Child

Slowly he rolls the tyre,
to and fro,
with his pants on,
Laughing with his other 
counterparts,
His dirty pants,
Shown in the noon,
Like a rag,
He saw his mother,
And shouted,
Mother!
Where is my father?
Where did he go?
when will he come back?
When will i wear a shirt?
When will i sleep on a bed?
When will there be light?
Where will there be water 
from our taps?

With My Red Dress On

A radiantly coiffed bouffant was mine,
    fit perfectly and curved to the nines.
I stood taking in the awe of counterparts 
   let them eat cake I chuckled in my heart.
The spring roll rumbling in my center
   drifted to the lower parts no longer indentured.
I held my breath and prayed
   that no sound or scent would stray
I wanted to drop to my knees
  Oh God, please, don’t let me sneeze.

Alone

And so it is
The painted sun has cast its shadow
On my waiting, lonely earth
As the moon breaks through
The darkened sky
To take refuge
Among its counterparts
While tears dry at my feet
I stand amidst a tidal flood of emotion and
Alone, looking to the sky
My heart seems to be void
As my mind is filled with thought
Dreaming of the echoes of reverberation
When love enters the boundaries
Of earth and time

Premium Member Come the Fall

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Winters' suitors never earned
cozen for their sacrifice
Love accepted, not returned,
frozen trophies kept on ice

Counterparts once jailed are freed,
gone to fairer girls of spring
Hearts disposed now those I need
So begins my reckoning

Puerile Moon rules Scorpio
fools of summer disenthrall,
swooning cools to vertigo

Who will love me come the fall?

Colors

Colors

Is there is a palette
on which the balance
of the additive colors
in our world 
are in harmony with 
their subtractive counterparts?

Where the sharp
divisions of conflict
are blurred with pastels
that melt away
the fear and trauma
with smooth indelible strokes
of human color
that can never fade?

Alas, if not
then our world
shall always be
a shattered sphere conflicted
by shards of black and white.

Premium Member Marriage a Unit of One

oneness
    contained     coherent
      interdependence
          selves-sufficient
a unity of action
      counterparts
            of
       compatibility

a structural union
      with no visible
       delineation
            an organic whole
              together as one
                                      unfragmented
discord dispersed

love 
       defined    enacted
                           spiritually
   unified
       without
           boundary
