I am you 
the splitting of two 
we shall eat our rage in small doses
now you are me 
in the mirror there’s three
three caskets covered in roses...

Comfort comes in small doses
But pain gushes
Fills in those holes
That you thought you covered up
I’ll pat you dry
When the torture rains mercilessly...

There was a stupid chap from North Shore
Who bought Viagra in fifty doses and more.
Confused respecting it function
He took more without compunction.
Now he has trouble exiting his front door....

I 
predictably
made you accustomed
to my love
with daily and intense doses
of passion, enchantment
beauty and magical chaos
so 
one day
I could kill you 
like an addict dies;

in pain.

Have a poet friend, said I'm an unusual poet
Very true, I never know where this old brain is focused
It's a mystery to me
Same as you, as you see
I'm as entertained as you guys, but only in small doses...

My friend, Carol Eastman, said I'm an unusual poet
Very true, I never know where this old brain is focused
It's a mystery to me
Same as you, as you see
I'm as entertained as you guys, but only in small doses

Beautiful babies blowing bubbles,
Terrible teens tempting troubles.
Parent's plaguing problems perplexing
Viewing various values vexing.

Doctors diagnose diseases.
Potent potion prescription pleases.
Debating difficult diagnosis,
Desperately diluting doses....

Magia

Cláudia, 
de terça
a terça, 
em suas mãos 
há magia, 
milagres 
em movimento,
mistura
medicamentos, 
como melodias 
em sinfonia.

Cláudia, 
dona de
paciência 
e precisão,
na farmácia 
do posto, 
desenha 
doses de vida.

Assim eu,
vejo a Claudia...

former evil in powerful doses
crumbling to a horrid nightmare
of fears enlimited, cowardice,
evil is returning to its far
corners of onyx imperfection
though it may take time
they are falling back
the the nights onyx corners
from the shadows comes
the light of Gods light....

When it is mixed in food or drink,
It is odorless,colorless and tasteless,
And the symptoms of dose resemble,
those of bad fatal food poisoning...
It can also be given in smaller doses,
That produces subtler symptoms of
weakness,confusion and paralysis..

Those who are mad 
may not always be bad.
Those who are smart 
may turn out to be the brat.
Those who are kind 
may be very hard to find.
Those who are rich 
may not always see the ditch.
Those who are pure 
may sometimes be poor.
Life just metes out its doses 
in both thorns and roses....

I am so tired constantly.
I awake and go to sleep always feeling very sickly,
and yet I know there is absolutely nothing wrong with me.
My best friend Samara is feeling very poorly,
no doubt from her massive doses of chemotherapy.
I think I'm feeling her pain out of sympathy.
I feel so helpless. My poor baby....

They say, when someone dies,
Someone is born,
Little souls come in this world
with a wealth of knowledge,
If they are sprinkled with small
doses of nurturing and encouragement
they become very wise,
teaching adults how to live,
love and play,
Old souls who understand
the meaning and purpose
of their days....

Sunshine permeates and invigorates
Cells and energy generate
Vitamins facilitate and transform life
Need your rays to activate usable resources within
Green is your warmth accelerate to all
Sunshine stimulates my smile
low doses only to perpetuate life
Warmth giver and elaborate summer fun

without hope we do not thrive
we do not live, we do not strive
hope is the wherewithal we need to continue
the angels bring it to us in heavy doses

some days we need it more than other days
they shower it upon our souls, but we have power
power to open up our hearts and feel hope
and power to shut it down, and wither away....

All is well, unless its not . 
The race never starts
The run doesnt stop. 

Im either rock bottom or right at the top . 
Voice too quiet
 quickly too cross 

My hair is washed tidy
Or  tied in a knot.
Stomach sits empty 
Ive eaten alot.  

I envy  small doses 
To know when enough 
I want to be strong 
But also give up.

Being from the city,
Too much quiet makes me cringe.
What sirens do for others,
Silence makes my brain unhinge.

I’ll take it in small doses - 
It’s initially a balm -
But over time, it does
The opposite of bringing calm.

The birdsong helps and music, too,
Yet it’s not quite enough.
For sensory survival,
I prefer the noisy stuff....

I:

L-a-g-o-s!
Fantastic, my city
Of many surprises,
O, Ngozika,
& you just expect anything –
No! everything?
Not just the Nolly wood products!
’Tis a sort of world culture
Everything black in surplus,
Plus, of course,
Doses of Eurocenticism –
L-a-g-o-s!
To know her well
You may get into a thousand pages!
Let’s get that in bits!...

“this poem is not about what is written, but what is not written…”

You bring me back to 
Life gently, with small doses
Of light airy love,
Like butterfly tugs.
The gray nothing recedes to
Blooming new color.

Soon you’re my lover.
With overwhelming passion
You shatter the spell. 
I can feel myself
Recovering with each touch,
And primitive rush.

If nirvana is a void of emptiness 
Then I am experiencing nirvana 
In increments

The stillness in my thoughts
Lingers within my daydreams

I can taste the bitterness of anxiety

So I breathe in 

My chest expands 
And now I am full 

I am complete
I am at peace

I exhale

To unfold The world around me
within the million stories I tell...
