Frosted squares make a tableau

Silken fingers denote harmony

Recall the rhetoric they promote.
Much like their predecessors, they’ll
struggle to keep us afloat.
In truth, they do not care;
all spouted by rote.
Agree to all
you denote,
for your
vote....

When the drop of 
Cool water 
Dropped
on a tender leaf
Giving a hard kiss

The leaf trembled
And screamed 
I hate your shivery touch!

Before denote its love 
The drop of water dissolved 
Over the leaf!

Look down at your belly button, is it an in-y or an out-y
In-y's denote intelligence so exhibit it quite proudly
While at the beach
It won't be your physique
They'll know you're a smarty and they'll cheer you quite loudly...

A mighty note
The essence of colors spoken out
Depth you and I cannot do without
Never lonely
Our Lord walks with thee
Safely together
Blessing your shelter
The age of command that could
Upon your voices we stood
Warmth of your quilt
On this blessed rock you have built...

Mine is an In-Y of course!...

The cat from our house,
it's all over the way...
If I come to the living room,
he stands in the middle,
if I come to the kitchen,
the same thing...
When we pass it,
he touches us with his paw
or with the tail...
our cute kitten
seems to denote:
" I'm human too and I wish
    your affection " !...

At work
Trying to work
Efforts none work.

Uncomfortable
Knees feel feeble
Senses a-tumble.

Lost concentration
Tormented by an erection
Locked in anticipation.

My heart is pure
Yet I fear
Will I get a cure?

*Konji - A slang of eastern Nigeria origin used to denote sexual urge/horny

All the hearted people 'mongst the human race 
Pretty soon there won't be enough space 
People running place to place 
Scared of what they'll face 
Why's there war? 
Grace 
War- no more! 
Love- we must embrace 
Evil doer's we must chase 
Hold the leather and denote the lace 
All the hearted people 'mongst the human race...

As luscious as blood,
A romantic color.
Symbolizes love,
Bringing joy and fervor.
Can be worn by a lady,
Her classic red lips,
A one lucky color!
That gives you a bliss.
Oh burning red!
Fill the world with your color.
Show what love and passion,
Make them as your believer.
To love is red,
Does not denote war.
You’re an inviting color,
Gives a soluble par...

Twisted in eddies through whirlpools of living
we are experimentalists with emotions of affection 
as vocabulary of language cannot denote- 
for measures in words are profoundly inadequate   
for two spirits forged in the crucible of souls
tempered in moments by breath of existence.
 For no voice had nor thoughts expressed
      what heart has heard as love’s guest....

Famine of descent
self righteous ~ origin  of meant,
in speaking harshly
not relent ~

Starvation, e'er the words denote
and fasting ~ need to hold my note
to eat my own, the words I choke
and digest not, their meaning's spoke!

Receptacle of worth, my mouth
does bandy on thoughts foul uncouth,
tomorrow then, that plate of words
must eat my own, others have heard!...

Through arid nights 
They fire their gun
But do not see 
my war is done

the years of blood 
have stained my skin
and chambered death
inside a grin

I have born my soul
To no applause 
And washed up on 
A thousand shores 

When the blasts denote 
That death is near
And the mists of dream 
Are all but clear 

As voices fade 
Behind the sun
Then all shall see
My war is done

One Note

A single, little note
Small, yet elegant
And is nothing to denote
As that would show you arrogant
A little cumbersome
But is very needed
And it may also become
The one that is seceded
Instead of losing others
 But is caught by them
And it shows that it bothers
Those with shining gems
And since it is now will received
You hear the sand in the hourglass sieved

Chip off the old block;
        It runs in the family.
This all needs to stop
        In our meritocracy.

Titles through ages;
        A generation’s game.
Lordships by bloodline,
        Some things need to change.

Birth won’t denote skill;
        It keeps people out.
Mobility’s lost
        When money they flout.

James Caan can shove it,
        And let workers in.
Nobles move over,
        Let our time begin....

I'm waiting for election day
When all the hoopla goes away,

All the lies and all the drama.
You're not fooling this old gramma.

You are but puppets mouthing dirt,
Spewing garbage, foe to hurt.

I want to hear what you will do,
Not old re-hash.  Give me some new

Info if you want my vote.
More lies will to me denote

The choice is an unholy sin
For least revolting guy to win.


won one of the no. 4 spots...

The road ahead

Is best on either side

By desert scrub and sand

On both right and left

And it's tar is beset by cracks

Only permeated by painted white line's

That denote left and right of centre

But which is the correct direction

You should be

Fleeing
Or
Aiming 

In the end is entirely up to you

Unless instead you choose to stay put
and put down roots 

And settle for a road less travelled...

Freud’s mirror

I am looking at myself in Freud’s mirror
The reflection is not of a white haired bearded sage
But of a falling face of middle age
My face in his mirror
When he saw himself there – did he see the id?
Or was it the repressive super-ego?
A stained old mirror-
Did he shave there?
Or did he just mark time?
Who needs a clock or a calendar to denote its passing-
When all you need do is go to the Bergstrasse
And see yourself in Freud’s mirror?...
