Untrimmed puffiness,
Whiteness blends with blueness -
Mother Nature's glory.

I wish to be pure
Like these roses,my words sent
Innocent labels.
Let your whiteness be my bed
My reverence clean and cured.

Brittle whiteness of belief
Floating before eyes

Sapphire eyes
In the cover of night
Nothing is okay
Without you
The darkness possessed
Whiteness of her dress
Flowing is the fire
Destroyed desire

Whiteness, whereby, glory shines, shadows cringe,
Fluttery descent sparkles,
The proclaimer of peace.

I'm proud of my colour
not because I'm black
I'm proud of my colour
not because I'm an African
the lighten of the skin makes no different
the whiteness of my heart beam my humane.

I do not know?
A thin green
Seemingly
Emerges from
The cold whiteness
Of winter..
With the white
Overnight appearing
As green..beauty of
The paradox that
White and green
Are not two...

Voided spaces
Empty
Empty
Lost in white
Vast in whiteness
Blank expression
Senseless senseless
Far mirage, a point of reference
Blank control, no direction
Inconsistencies consistent

Whiteness falling whirling white
in the crisp hushed winter's bite.
Nipping flakes light the dark night
that gathers on window pane.
Evening's moon begin to wane,
relaxing by candlelight.

ICE KISS
Blizzard dawn crisp
Send shivers with the postman
Shovel toss snow
Dance whiteness over shoulders wrapped in wool
Sweet overburdened shoulders where comfort found me scant moments past

drums roll from the distant greyness,
plunges the grey house in darkness,
dark as night.
Angels looking down with softness,
their hearts soft and kind with whiteness,
milky white.

Out from wild noises
A silent guess remembers
a forgotten pearl.
I touched his verses
A sadness engraved us both,
underneath those clouds.
I asked her, in pain,
Within a splendid whiteness
"Love Maxim Gorky?"

whiteness - a canvas
draws blanks but the brush mothers
the infantile mind
the out of reach christmas lights
her babe’s primary colors

Mystically
The twilight obsessed me with a thought,
Burst the clock
Through the evening ether.
I felt,
I want to touch you
Like a dew-drop
flowed over your whiteness,
To disappear in happiness,
To sink in a magical fall.

Lyric
...for Sylvia Plath
White wisps in
killing glow
dissolve.
Whiteness
won't redeem her;
arctic and stark,
bright yet lifeless.
Barren,
a spectre
without purpose,
she teeters
in darkness,
alone in her lordliness.

Verse
I sat in class, way in back
looking at all the
colors, I thought to myself
in comparison how pale
I seem compared to
my peers, they said 'oh hey you!
so pale and fragile'
Had they known how strong I was,
whiteness excluded

Africa,
I reconcile your genius with nostalgia,
perfervidity and relic lust;
your age with the whiteness
of a virgin void of earliness;
and your life with the tenderness
of the yolk of God.
Where do you dwell?

Ode
A swan did sail so gracefully
Around a crystal lake
Such whiteness pure I ne'er did see
It almost could be fake
What peaceful calm, what portrait clear
'Tis heav'n on earth I see
If only I could linger here
For all eternity

The squirrel held the dandelion over faerie girl’s head.
Watching the wisps of whiteness flow over and beyond.
The faerie girl did not look up, did she feel his concern?
Was she aware that he would risk his life to save her?

Clouds, fluffy, white cotton gaseous
Floating in the sea air
cottony blue sea Full of snowy peaks.
Soft whiteness in heavenly sky
white to white in bluish azure...!
Plumes, pompoms to enchant!
To romanticizing Life...!

Three AM
She sits,
feathered robe
silent in the wind.
Unblinking eyes,
colder than the
iced terrain,
peer into
pained whiteness.
Gripping tightly
slender hope.

Wind
Blowing
Snow drifting
Covering all
Leaving pure whiteness
Colors fade into grey
Clouds filling a lifeless sky
Burning at the sunlit edges
Bright red, crimson, gold and orange fire
Remembering the life that will return

magical white stuff
showing us winter
slipping and sliding
land on eyelashes
swirling and twirling
hanker to make
an ice igloo
snowballs waiting
snowman ready
glistening
glittery
wonderful
pretty
whiteness

the sun awakens
bringing darkly lit grey clouds
the sky’s red parade
add yellow to mix
red starts to depart the scene
and the clouds whiten
now the sky finds blue
the clouds reach their full whiteness
the day has begun
