I was looking at a picture
A footage of a vivid time
The stamp of enormity.

“Which side of the moon will you choose?” She asked.
And I gently blew a kiss toward her fragrance....

I’m dreadfully angry with Martin
He posted footage of me fartin’
'twas a terrible shock
It’s all over Tik Tok
Guess Martin and I will be partin’

What strange remembering
Is a dream.
What episodes of needed lies--
Shot by an inner surrealist,
Adding to the footage 
Of poignant fact,
Teasing newly cast desires
With alternant endings...

Lends us vigilence.
 
The Camera can record perfect details.

Seek,eye,seek what needs to be seen.

Show us from your many vantage points

Help us our picture to complete.

The rolling footage is rewound and

we hope what we look for is found....

If there are any police officers reading this...
    Please don't shave your head...

                 The reflection blinds the viewers of your dash camera footage when I                    see it on Cops. 

It also looks like the flashing lights are on your head!...

laying down
having a hard
time getting up

not sleeping
mind racing
with the noise

of cars chasing
each other around
an oval track

backtracking
fond memories
finding found

dream footage
photos took at
take a look at

perfect timing
in our lives
leaving me

to sigh
to laugh
and smile...

Keeping in an old human heritage,

Two regions Bentota river arrange
West and South regions in merge,

Being at a picturesque footage,
Dharga Nagar,a beautiful village!...

Saw young swans tour ending June
in a pond of pending gloom.
Had some food to hand them soon
in the mood to mute the doom.
But they set back, let back room
for a soft sweet swan song tune
that I - had I seen it loom -
could and would have put attune
to this footage shot at noon.

MY COUNTRY LAND

Oh my Cameroon,
From the colors of a desiring mind,
Hums from an ancestral hands,
The Switzerland of an African land,

It true nature, beauty of it kind,
Footage from it Holy mount,
Memorable of Her outstanding sounds,
Falling unto its Historical towns,

Oh thou flow at two fathoms,
Seized from her master tongue,
Sparkly remarkable it Unity star,
Drawn down peace, love and fatherland....

THE DESERTED GRAVEYARD :
EPITAPH

Sunday afternoon mid-winter:
Here’s end of mortal charm and grace,
this hillside where briars claim the footage— 
weather wears away a few remaining names.
broom-straw roots between the sunken mounds,
and long-legged brown spiders climb over field-stones.
“We are nothing more nor less than what we were.
Let the earth have what it wants.
We are dust returning to the ground.”...

I am not applying for Santa's job
It is lies that's coming from Mr Floods gob
But there's drone footage as proof 
Terry pushed him off the roof
And a large sack with bricks in he did lob.

Theres a warrant out for Terry Flood
All the kids in the world want his blood 
His evil scheming will fail
There's a top cop on his trail
His scheme will crash to earth with a thud.

Two newscasters were shot on screen
By some crazed gunman, first unseen;
And all who saw it were in shock,
An image they can never block.

Of course, all horror is a draw
But I am glad I never saw
The bullets hit, the bodies fall;
They pulled the footage, after all.

My heart goes out to kin and friends,
Who’ll see a scene that never ends – 
Their loved ones taking one last breath,
All future plans cut short by death....

Here in this place thy footage thy grace
Unending eternal precious stone an lace
Thou art like pure crystals in caves an' maze
To avoid all hunger; an' tragic wind of haze

Why thy art in fear bearing dozens of sear?
Have thy art never taste the love how dear!
Or have ; an fear, beholds thy will to even try 
I believe thou stronger than light and sight

I believe thy heart larger than any than I
For who doth bear this world without any

A compromise is needed
When two people disagree 
Or there will be a battle
Over programs on TV.

If one wants animation
And the other likes to learn
By watching documentaries,
Each has to have a turn.

So first we’re watching footage
Of some gorgeous spots in France,
Then we’ll tune to “Brave,” so that
The other has her chance.

Who’d think two kids could not agree?
It was a real surprise,
But happily, we found a way
With one small compromise....

Occasionally we might miss
Performers so admired
Their talents still get airtime
Though it’s years since they’ve expired.

A case in point is Leonard Cohen – 
I knew of his existence,
But to his books and concerts somehow
I displayed resistance.

However, a museum has
A very moving show
Filled with footage of his singing
And so much I didn’t know.

I guess no one can stop me,
Though I have procrastinated,
From becoming one of Leonard’s fans,
Although a bit belated....

My dream home
lots of spaces
gated and golden tall pillars
two circled drive-ways, and a few trees
stair-cases both ways to enter up
some carpeted, chandeliers all around
a movie space, library and more
several bathrooms and bedrooms
private entranceway
My name appears on the golden sign
entertainment rooms and lots of designs
over-looking a private space
square footage very  large
guest homes and nice patios
a venue for weddings
the home of my own
will soon be known....

Swing the bat now! Against all life mishaps 
Back taxes, bad weather and on line conflicts 
Who is watching the footage? 
Who’s keeping tags on all the poet and poetess? 

The underground Poets /Poetess words flow freely 
Creating images in the mind with ease; 
Is that artful or delightful or what! 

The mere thought of you swinging that hard bat; 
Aiming at the world: Hard balls 
We are the new revolution 
the blogger, writers, poet and poetess 
Swing low aim high. No time to hide 
lets write!...
