Covering imprinted paths
Hide sweet legacies...

fame and fortune is not worth the fight.

All we are 
is weight
in water.
In this struggle
between self and the
mouth of the ocean
we write our legacies
…some stories make
it to the surface for
a gasp of life....

once a frog himself... was kissed

now immortal

Clearly you see the darkness shadowed light stream still
Foretold is your future memories in stories they reveal
Ancestors inheritors legacies in the wind
Today is forever clearly you see the end...

oh what a wonderful group we make
as we pen our poems and take a break
our traits range from weird to strange
in all probability certifiably deranged 
leaving legacies of genius in our wake...

May we be blessed as parents to know…
when thinking about our legacies…

We can hand down houses, cars and money to our children
but the greatest legacy we can leave them
are happy memories.

Pick up the picture,
Half are gone,
Deceased and gone,
I wish-
I could bring those eras back,
The eras of beloved ladies living,
True ladies of legacies,
Left us all behind,
Now onward we press....

It was the legacy of legacies
Three dead men

It was the legacy of legacies
Three dead men

Two were thieves
One was a heretic
One other was spared

Many sparrows have flown since then
And many have died...

Legacies of the now and the after 
Blossoms and glooms in a cycle
A breech of sadness and laughter
Thoughts of the past in the present
The after life dreaded thoughts
These are thoughts of the after life

History’s always been a motley cast
of characters gratefully now dead at last.
No longer do they wield the flesh
with words, commands, decrees –
it’s the rotten stench of their legacies
we still choke on daily as if fresh....

GENES.

Galloping in body
Gain characteristics
Gear up heredity
Govern peculiar traits
Ground parental glimpses
Gaily offspring reflect
Gadget for legacies.

Siphoned light gropes passengers
Hopeful for luminescent hearts,
Arching underneath bombazine drapes
Dusted with passionate legacies
Of original sin and the primogeniture son,
Wicked for nighttime plots savouring
Spicy love, exponential in a vivid darkness....

Collectors, traveling from far,
Dig in ashes piled behind
The weather-whitened, ghost-town bar:
Whiskey bottles there to find.

A hundred years have come to pass:
Cowboys—gamblers—girls—all dead.
Half-buried legacies of glass
Gleam beneath the rotting shed....

Your eyes speak loud 
So loud it buzzes beyond the ears could hear

Remember to call my name
When thy heart received a gift of pain

Never think twice
Never hesitate

For I'll be here as long as I live
Far beyond afterlife

Just call my name
Say it softly as I linger through thee...

Inside
my head
the living
        and the dead
          
        faces
voices
places
          of my past

          being
breathing
there in my
           reality

           vibrant
remembered
yesteryears
           abound
 
           vivid
sounds
surround
          in cameo...

Iridescent hues of fallacy
Mask the chains that pierce
This bruised soul…

Born with burn stains
Of her native land
Tattooed in tiding teardrops…

Her cascading locks 
Choke a history of
Troubled legacies…still

Visible are remnants
Of a crimson flag
Permanently adorning
Her battered life’s past…

Lay...

Gentle wind kindled fire
stillness voice to admire
flute that rises the fear
pointing direction clear
inconceivable time
attractions in potion divine
loosing oneself in vision
ecstasies by decision
continuance uncertainties
life’s forever little legacies
faith that firms through trials
grace and its invisible smiles...

Halls of steel and concrete, 
massive Cyclopean towers 
of immodesty where moguls
bask in gross extravagance. 

Children in neglect, 
souls with haggard faces, 
ekeing out their livelihoods 
with hopes and modest means.

Versions of prosperity;
the rich man pads his pockets while 
the poor man haunts his tenement,
struggling to smile....

one heart
          meets another
two
        becomes one
Soon,
         two beget
one
        grows
                   to see
two
        as if
                  one
Forever
            a part
of each
             remains
bonded
              in him
or her
             'til
that heart
                 meets
another......

Our thoughts create our reality;
inventions, wealth, fame, and legacies
are testimonies to that fact. 

Before we came to be,
there were other creations already;
stars, sun, dinosaurs, oceans….
The creations are a testimony of an existence
of a Creator who doesn’t know time!

As manifestations of the Creator,
we are gods in our own right....

Immortality looking invincible, 
Athena's arpon arsing shadows, 

Amazonite unfading Athenaeum species, 
A lasting blade for an immortal legacies, 

Fallacies befall the inconsistencies,
Fragrances crash the inconveniences... 

Extinction of lives is overturned by heavenly bliss,
Angels are guardian spirits, 

Humanity is saved,
Hell is dead....

I am the sum of the ages
beginning before my mother,
before my grandmother,
and before my grandmother's mother.

I am the product of their matriarchal choices,
the quotient of their actions, reflections, and self-images.
I am the difference of their generations.

And I bequeath the equation of this inheritance
to the matrices of my living legacies....
