Pantheon of obtuse glorifications
Hallways confetti bile stymied soldiers smile
'Incomiiiiiiiiing!!!!'
Waves and waves of the nation's slaves
Wave your flag
The few 
The proud
The crippled and the dead...

Bringer of Old Age 
Saturn, that's what you always were 
You move quite slowly 

At a snail's pace 
Twenty-nine point forty-six 
Years, orbit the Sun 

Named after a god 
Within the Roman pantheon 
Of farming and TIME...

He painted on a very large scale

You were the first 
To speak to herbs
And make the ailing cured.
The greatest healer known to all
Like ripples, your fame 
Was far spread.

Olubikin! Olubikin!
Heed the elders' call—
Bitter fruits are not sought by bats.
For honey— bees are hunt.
Flamboyant plumage 
Will attract hawks.
Success is a curse.

I have never seen the Moon 
as beautiful
As I saw it in Paris
no distractions
Moonlight above the Pantheon
an empty sky
A new facade on a celestial
body
Goes unnoticed by passing
beauty before my eyes
A city dissolving the truths of
Space and time
For a moment, I feel 
inspired, alive and
lovingly
lost
In an empty sky........

My verse, so awful dreary
Of darkness, readers weary
Why can't I write of glad times
My poetry's a crime

Let me close my eyes and dream
of lambent tropical scenes
Conjure up a pair of lovers
above whom moonlight hovers

Or gaze upon a rose garden
with myriad brilliant hues
Mother Nature's pantheon
speeds swift to my rescue...

Here lies incomparable, trailblazer Sir Sidney Poitier
In the pantheon of Hollywood legends, he's at top tier
With 1963 Best Actor Oscar win, he made history;
First Black actor, and black folks reveled in his victory

After the moon 
it was an unkempt night.

I wanted to kill the narrative 
and recast the frozen history.

A dirt road leads to a new trajectory now, 
splattered with blood.

A double tongued thought brings
the ire of screaming horror.

Strapped for knowledge, he believed
in resurrection of a black hole.

The pain, it hurts terrible.
Emblematic was the bending of candles.

Many have told you to stop
But you were persistent! 
You sent out your poems for the 
public to read 
You were unsure as to their recption
But now you take in accolades 
along with criticism
You certainly can't please everyone
If you don't have a thick hide 
You will trouble making it 
in this world 
Keep sending your work out!
Who knows - maybe you 
will become part of the literary Pantheon!!
Or, at the very least, make some new poetic friends!...

It's clear. Sunny deadly town,
its square with old young bones is lined.
Cold furtive faces wave the flag
and soldiers guard them and the time.

On concrete a brass band struck up,
A man stepped on a carpet red.
His hand he's keeping on his chest, 
into a pantheon heavy steps.

Its fatty body's clapping out,
a daughter of Jezebel on stage,
one right-believer, three lean men. 
A speech. A pause. A burst of cheers.

A throat tickling ambience 
of chili garlic sauce
settles over rows of Mung Bean paste
and bottles of oyster sauce.

Then clumsily 
I knock over and break a glass jar 
of hot curry powder.

The lady at the cash register
watches me jump backwards
flapping at the spicy miasma.

She is sixteen going on fifty.
Her disdainful frown speaks volumes.

I sneeze, and inwardly apologize
to a pantheon of Chinese Gods
for my sudden and wistful desire
for a White Castle slider....
