I am no one yet I am everyone.
I am nowhere.
Yet I am in a thousand places.
I am curious at how my
mood precedes me
I am me.
It is enough.

She walks with purpose
Confidence precedes her
She has that fast walk
That says I know who I am
And I know where I am going
And I like myself
It is wonderful

Sensuous queen of hearts is so beautiful they said
Not at all stuck up, level inside her soul and head
She has a beauty that precedes her reputation
Made in heaven, she is a comely, sexy creation

Pride,
behind which we hide
our frailty, precedes
a fall. We must pray about our needs.

Hare trapped in a bubble,
Too pained by the capture;
Yet chews its last supper.
Even joy precedes pains—
stop your stare,
dare to help.
Though I err,
spare some love,
wipe my tear.

A painter's presence precedes his palpable painting.
An author is apparent by his text's acquainting.
A builder's being's believed by his building's indicator.
Creation is consistent with an existent Creator.

I am awoken,
By the idea of greatness.
I am unable,
To sleep until greatness comes.
The work that precedes,
Daunting is the path I chose.
I am most hungry,
With a competitive flame,
That won't waver in the wind.

Candy of The Sea
When the Sea recedes
Golden sand precedes
A funny tableau is seen
After the ebbing green:
Nude, we find the task
On the sand to bask.
Caked on yellow sand(y)
We then look like candy!

If the shadow of

that precedes us,
guard and protect us

Epigram
There's a love that won't be silenced
Though it doesn't say a word
It sings into the universe
Though its voice cannot be heard
Like the breaking of a sunrise
That precedes the dawning day
Like the memory of a sunset
That never goes away

As they bask in the glory of Hollywood
Those in India will speak of Bollywood
And oftentimes remember Tollywood
Which must have preceded Bollywood
And even Nigeria’s own Nollywood
Which precedes our own Jollywood
O Kenyan cinema arise!
O Jollywood arise!

Love cannot be destroyed
She comes in all shapes and sizes
She comes in smiles and in tears
You can hurt her, maim her, gouge her
But you cannot destroy her
Her memory is forever
And she precedes you into death,
and back into a new circle of life

HALLOWEEN POLITICS: A HAIKU TRILOGY
Halloween…coming…
Aping today’s politics:
No treats…just more tricks:-
Offering false treats,
Evil candidates ape ghosts;
Tricking scared voters:-
Halloween precedes
Coming midterm elections;
Voting tricks abound:-

I hope this puts your mind at Ease
Because there is a Breeze
Those Leaves will shed their Trees
Creating furniture for the Bee's
Now, Milk turn's to Cheese
Honey precedes Bee's
And in spite of that Breeze
Leaves grow new Tree's
I hope that puts your mind at Ease

She wades in anoxic swamps
She feels with her heart
Her mind never still
Her soul torn apart
She craves understanding
She craves conversation
Her thirst for the dark things
Precedes her reputation
She is never sated
She is never stilled
The void in her heart
Crying out to be filled

I do not know?
A cool whistling breeze precedes the first light
My curtains dance at the window filtering though the daylight
A sound of a distant cock crow and chirping birds
Are like protest against my guilty lazy bones still in bed
I breathe the innocence of a new day with a slow blink
I swim out of bed as I let the bygone and the past sinks

Rhyme
as in the days of Noah,
latter days' reign will dawn on earth
total shock for some
recalling the ancient flood
waving goodbye to the semblance of an ark
strangely reminiscent
tears enough to cover the earth
the earth quakes, trembling
at the hand of her Maker
a deluge of unimaginable terror
precedes His promise

The time is tomorrow,
Today is long gone,
Yesterday was the future in retrospect,
Memories are predictions,
Of things done yet to come,
Where death precedes birth,
And resurrection comes before demise,
The beginning determined by the end,
It only really starts when we all stop,
Where or when become irrelevant,
Only who and why matter.

The identical twin girls’ cryptophasia precedes them into a room
They wear their cute identical twinness like a peacock with a plume
The two get mobbed, picked up cuddled by strangers with a va-va-voom.
In crypto-language one says to the other, I wish I had a broom.
Moronic adults think toddlers are delighted as they parade around the room.

Travail is what binds us,
The broken hearts we share--
And so it is we travel thus
In longing and despair.
Yet for the night that lingers so,
The road still winding on--
There is one thing I breathless know,
That dark precedes the dawn.
And for the hope of daybreak,
That it will intercede--
I once more smiling waken
Yet unwilling to concede.

Oh that I had wings
like a dove!
for then would I fly away,
and be at rest.
~Psalm 55:6
Lord, I swore not to weep,
yet here in the darkness
that precedes sleep
I find them~
regret, grief, anger, relief~
rivers down my cheek.
