In the swamps trained a young Jedi guy.
He could run, swim, and biking, could fly.
He was fit to be tied;
His olympic dream died.
In Dagobah, there is no tri.

Idolized by pharaohs, monarchs and kings;
Bird of the wetlands, marshes and swamps.
Interesting forager with long bill and stilted long legs;
Sacred icon of the dynasties of yore.

Yes, I make seasonal shines
As home tube lights, as seasonal swamps
I shine under man's control, under God's wishes
The hope night with silence justice
Stars control my practice
As I am alone but jealousy.

Always Suspicious About
We have always been suspicious of AXIOS;
Have spread many rumors and are verbose;
Breaking rules;
Draining pools (And swamps),
And like Trump we wish would die a dross.

Swampees With No Trees
Those living in swamps are called swampees;
Always with tall reeds and never thin trees;
To chimpanzees related,
Even when sedated;
Would you pass more muddy water please.

sneezing flowers spread
the sperm of colours
carnivorous plants
trapping prey
green swamps polluted
global warming eleph-
ants in circus cane-
d stands on one hin-
d leg
we watch clappin-
g like jokers

Before you fall,
you’ve got to stand
Your voice once stalled,
no reprimand
The paradigm floats,
on swamps that drain
Where praise cries out,
false hope again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)

Before you fall,
you’ve got to stand
Your voice once stalled,
fates reprimand
The paradigm floats,
on swamps that drain
Where praise cries out
—false hope again

Brass
bells ring
along swamps
shadowy edge.
Children running free;
flutes echoing laughter;
cimmerian eyed beauty
hips swaying to an earthy beat.
Simple suppers roast over fire.
Welcoming the despised plebians home.

Coyotes howling
There in the dark rustling trees
Yellow falling leaves
Croaking around swamps
Frogs plop into water
Leaving some small waves
Morning birds chirping
In the highest of home nest
Flapping feathered wings

Streets have memories
In echo
They recall us
In pain- or
In proud
They call us
Streets
Have memories of us
In aches
The bleeding
Drain still last
And buds
Warm rain in march
In swamps- past
in brook
hope still act

Over swamps, across Rwanda hills
above great Lake Victoria waves
over tropical forests of Africa
my heart flies with undying hope
to meet my sweet heart in teens
lying somewhere waiting, eager
for greatest love battles ahead

When we cut trees
They cry
When we drain swamps
They mourn
When we burn grass
They weep
When we eat cakes
They shade tears
But they leave a message behind
“Humanity we are gone
Continue to live, lust and party
In the shadow of your own peril”

Ballad
i never want your help.
although, at times, i need it.
i don't accept reality
but i do understand it.
walking the swamps
in the middle of august,
i took rest on a spray painted rock.
you followed my lead
with your hands on my knees
as we watched the sun set over the dock.

What are you doing?
What are you there for?
some humans are buried
in the rubles of life
other live in wet swamps
go out of your comfort
take spades and rakes
bring caterpillars and hoes
to unearth those trapped
Bring them out in society
to enjoy freedom and love
and feel as humans.

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

Lightning struck
For transfer to soil..
High voltage of electrical value.
Currents that continue to be considered for soil..
Actually,it's like an oxidizer..
Audible fear is firing from the sky.
Fire,landslides and swamps..
It exists because it is ostentatious.
Its naturalness can be erased.

She’s a poet with no name
A pseudonym her claim to fame.
Without sight she moves countless hearts
When with passion and panache
dusts off her mind,
Swamps the world with allegory
And tells it as it is and when
She touches the joy on cherished lips
Feels the warmth of our smile.

I run and run and run
down the valleys I run
up the mountains, into swamps
snakes chase me, thorns in my feet
but I run and run up, down, everywhere
face to face with a wild cat I come
I ordered it to stand still then turn back
but one thing I come to believe
the will to live is more powerful than the fear of death

What if silence too is a script we conjure,
tapping into subconscious mind, befooling
ourselves, as we sidestep the truth of what is …
bemused by ego?
Trapped in swamps of dark desires, bound by beliefs,
how else can we exit this matrix unless
thoughts cease, that thus grace invoked, our soul’s eye sees …
noumena within?

Sapphic stanza
Nimbus sheathes, laden heart's dark swamps.
Gush the insides out, a hollow, eerie remain.
Crimson cascade moat round, forbid ramps.
Notions of brick and steel, power's sweet regain.
A firm cage hedges all woes of time's sharp pain.
Blithe strides bridge the cracks, prove feasible still.
No doors, no windows, locked in impossible will.

Rhyme Royal
You pull me
Through precipitation and perspiration
I come to You
The swamps of my Saliva,
the marshes of my muscles,
You pull me
Through erosion and evaporation
I come to You
The stream of my spinal cord,
the meanders of my membranes,
You pull me,
Through clamminess and condensation
I come to You
The pools of my plasma,
the basin of my bladder,
I come to You,
to the heart of Your sea.
