Short Harking Poems

The low rung hue of morning
Walked slowly into my presence
Seizing nothing though
Wanting nothing more
Then a bit of my company
Harking to go on with my day with a bit of gladness
For things are meant to move and be moved
As people are and should....

Flirting flappers
Whipper snappers

Prohibitions
Big restrictions

Legs are showing
pearls are Swirling

Charleston’s harking
Lovers sparking

Dancing Lindy
With Miss Mindy

Jitterbugging
Afterwards hugging

Raccoon coats
Rowing boats

Bathtub gin
Fun never ends.

In the high lands
a stone angel sings water
creating fluid melodies
and flowers gather round
eternally watching and listening
to his performance
coins are tossed from good souls
who appreciate the arts
people wish blessings from the saint
to be a light
when one is lost at night
Harking onto the sounds
of flowing hope,
this is the hero of the town...

Should doors close, you'll find me awaiting 
Harking to aeolian whispers,
Watching the windows for your return,
Sitting in crepuscular stillness,
Should doors close, balconies will open,
Creating new possibilities
Of our passionate love reunion,
Look for marked jalousies, should doors close.

The choir is singing a spirited cantata
About the angels harking the herald
Shepherds are grazing flocks by night
And three wise men are traveling afar
While my brother, my sister, and me
Can hardly wait to get home to bed
For Santa is coming with loads of toys
For all the good little girls and boys
We know Christmas is so much more
But it’s impossible to focus on it now

In the north,
every sunrise at the ninth hour,
I create angels on the snow
and bring them to life with my harp.
Door to door, we sing and play
for those who can't have a blissful day.
Travelling through town, celebrating snowflakes falling down,
notes and tempo light all harking candles from within
uniting all to follow hope.
After a while, comes Christmas time.
I receive the greatest gift to exist,
your gentle smile....

May be guns are self-explanatory
    for already something is something
   or cute cutlass and one local farmer
    hoe or digger?
 or somehow a carpenter hammer
    or nail?.
  The reason may be still self-
  explanatory- can we only 
    rely on contemporary or sometimes
   harking?, the west woke up 
  in the morning and born
    the west said nothing except
   a passion for memory and joy
   how should we then smother and smother?....

Broom the clutter in thoughts proper
dirt covers and fleas hover and it smells
intentions are whisked with acid
acts laced with bad reason
asking in the nights dark and long
proudly harking how many are maimed and killed
scare set in innocents and fear raping them
scurrying for shelter helter skelter
as they are pinned and sinned
take count and do not let them mount
there would be day after the bend
when you would receive back,in the end....

Why this boat?
Could it be the boat of destitution?
Conveying Epidemics, Hunger, Rags,
Malnutrition and Illiteracy.

Descend from me!
Banish from my world!
You cursed word!
You that called education a"Privilege"!
Patrimony of the ghetto!

W.H.O called you "Lion of Africa",
U N called you "Agenda ".
Predicament to the black,
Livelihood to the white.

Harking to conviction,
Capsize and rise no more.
For "Black Rose" to smile again
On the land of plenty....

~*~

shadows of dusk's murk
fondling each gegenschein's life
harking back flashbacks ...

incandescence fades
lunate lustre melts - diffused
new blithe jaunt awaits ...
 
erred in bizarred realm
abscond from reality
LIMITLESS defined ...

laid in this false truth
vagabonding through beyond
until nightmares came ...

slumbering ... nights' crib
craving for more sleep bedtime
sculpting mirth sweet dreams.
