Born within a battlefield-
Paradise lost...

cruel are whispers

Loss of innocence
Corruption is commonplace
Endemic racism
A judicial system 
That favours the rich
Lies are the new truth
How could it come to this?
Once I loved the USA...

Insidious knowledge
creeps under blanket ignorance,
wisdom comes of age.

guilty as trespassed
                                so called loss of innocence
                                      he did not get that

Pushing past the tangles of imagery 
faded torn things better left unknown 
broken toys and metronomes tones 
scattered after a Wars drone 
the voices of infancy 
the pain 
the violence 
a loss of innocence 
pushing pass the imagery!...

I am not inhuman. 

Even though they made me feel that way. 

No- it’s not a tragedy. 

Because I am empowered. 

Through a loss of innocence. 

Through a stint of imprisonment. 

I have escaped. 

Only for them to try and hunt me down again....

A painted red and purple sky
Birds startled fly up high
Thunder rumbles heralding  bad times to begin
These last days will mean the end

Who would have thought such magnificence 
Would lead to ash and loss of innocence
For when war and destruction rules
We are left as idiotic fools.

Cruelty danced 'cross his stencilled mustache
  Sparks of Evil flashed from his roving eye
A wicked Sneer curled 'round his too-thin lips
  His fingers like claws bespoke a master spy

Trench-coat pulled tight 'gainst the pounding rain
  Stealthy his gait down the dark narrow lane
Alas! Two bullets lodged in his fiendish heart
  Real life's not Hollywood, Mr. Humphrey Bogart...

Act 0, Scene –2 : Eden, by the Water
Adam observes Eve as she emerges naked, unabashed from the water.

EVE

Her yellow hair, 
Like wet corn silk,
Hung from her head as she bent to dry

The soft round curves
Of her warm, fresh skin
Aroused in him
Something

That he cursed
And craved
And did not really comprehend

Soft and bold,

Her blue eyes
Captured
His...

THANK YOU GOD FOR SMALL FAVORS

Truth in all its forms
Defies men’s and women’s lies
Thank you God for sex 

BAGGAGE TO HEAVEN 

When I die my God,
What do I take on my trip?
Only love, my child

REMORSE & LOSS OF INNOCENCE 

I shoot a rabbit 
My boy sees the rabbit die
I can’t help but cry

Keepers of the truth are 
Oracles disguised...

The naked truth of hijacked leaves 
when tree reveals a mockingbird 
the wind with knives— the season’s thieves
applauds the loss of innocence 
soprano song his spoken word
as summer turns a villainess 

his merriment in verse she steals 
to feed the winter’s sinfulness
where hunger flies and cries and kneels 
to gods a songster’s soul appeals 
the guilty— nylon-stocking blurred 
...as ic’cles grieve neath ice-damned eaves...

Fragrant flower, Jasmine infused,

the evening breathes comic book laughter,

colors white and green and yellow.

Our heroes, our saviors in bold of

twilight blue and mud red ocher.

Perfume fingers stretch forth on evening breeze

searching for that champion 

only to find, beneath primary hues,

a miriad of diffuse pastel hides

beneath balloon exclamations,

our vain attempt to save us from ourselves.

The impulsive and wandering butterfly
was tempted by the candle’s flare
that burnt her wings
when she got close
and sent her falling through the air

She laid scorched up on the floor
her fragile wings would work no more
Tears ran from her swimming eyes
because her little wings were fried. 

oh demon light
that I did seek
how you deceive 
the brave and meek
who ought to know 
a brilliant hallows
from the glare
of dirty tallows...

I wake up screaming.
He's on top of me.
I'm naked and cold...
This is agony.
We were just getting high!
It was supposed to be fun!
Now I try to fight him off, 
so I can run.
His hand covers my mouth.
He's stronger than me.
Oh God, it hurts!
I can't breath and I'm scared.
He's hurting my butt,
and pulling my hair.
I bite his hand,
and fight him off me.
Oh God, thank you!
I'm finally free!
Now just to deal with the fact
that he lives with me......

Innocence was lost years ago
Not mine, but everyone around me
Some things changed
White turned to black
Friends turned to enemies
Wrong turned to right
And happiness turned to depression
Escape was nowhere in sight
But i needed more than anything to get out of here
Everyone around me was changing Yet I didn’t want anything to do with it I didn’t wanna join them, I wanted out
I was overwhelmed and felt suffocated 
Those were the years everything changed
And somehow I managed to escape it...
