A GREEN LIGHT CONTEMPLATION

A Green Light Contemplation
 
Just be like green grass,
Regrowing and regrowing:
Overcoming all:-
Go and be as sage green trees:
Rebirthing justice's green leaves:-

IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL RENDERINGS

IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL RENDERINGS   

In today’s diabolical
Political renderings,
Let’s not be like
Naked sage trees:
Leaves and fruits rotting
In unjust, bigoted political dirt:-
Rather, today let’s spring into life
And be like un-cocooned butterflies,
Soaring free and prepared as ought to be:
Pollinating flowering life with justice and equality:-
And like hived bees, let’s be about the honey flowing
Of

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Heartbeat,
loud in my chest,
sings with sweet melody,
like the cadence of a streamlet,
when its silver ribbons drape the mountains,
with a smile that delights the sands,
as it cascades the slopes
and thunders—like
heartbeat.

BONDED STIFF

BONDED STIFF

Our love knows no swiftness;
It's tied and bowed in stiffness:-

Oh, our love is no played game; 
Rather, it's an everlasting bond attained:-

May our love ever be as if a Royal Palace Ball:
One hoped and wished for, by nobles & humbles all:-  

May this precious bond between you and me,
Be granted a blessed bonding

WITH HOPE FAITH IN THE PROMISE

WITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE  

Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges,
Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones,
So must we be as we continue to struggle
Along the freedom road to promise equanimity:-

As we encounter injustice’s walls of opposition,
Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho: 
Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude

JOURNEYING WITH WISDOM

JOURNEYING WITH WISDOM

Like the sun and its being,
Wisdom knows no dimness;
Her light is eternal, and where she is,
There can never be ignorance of darkness:-
For like the sun, she shines forever bright
In the inner sanctum of the ego of mind:
Inevitable truths, flowing like an enlightening river
From the valley of the womb of God’s infallibility,
Forever birthing the

IN THE EVERGREEN OF HOPE

IN THE EVERGREEN OF HOPE

In the forest of despair,
The evergreen of hope,
Firmly rooted,
Stands in the mist
Of the saws
Of injustice:
Her tired body
Having withstood
The fires of debilitation
And devastating mudslides
Of eroding equity and justice:-

Like her ancestors,
Seek, knock, and ask,
The evergreen of hope
Cannot, and will not,
Be rotted away
By political fungi
Of deceit,
Nor racist bacteria
Of eroding unjust laws:-

Though in its shaded

RECIPE FOR POETRY SOUP

*RECIPE FOR POETRY SOUP
Would like to come face to face with Gordon Ramsey.
          Being on his reality cooking show quite suits my fancy.
Would like to create poetry soup worthy of his exaltation,
          One that would make my

OF DIVINE GUIDANCE AND VICTORY

OF DIVINE GUIDANCE AND VICTORY

Let’s be as Noah,
Arking liberation waves
To shores of justice:
Let’s be in self-forgiveness;
Divine wisdom guiding us:-

It's not a Stockholm:-
Rather, it’s America’s
Oppressor Syndrome!
Such unique shared infection:
Victims equally psychosed:-

Self-liberation,
Begins with divine wisdom;
Ask, and it’s given:
When we make human mistakes,
She will guide their corrections:-

Always be aware,
Liberation can’t be bought;
It’s fought for and won:-
Let’s get to

A Sly Stealthy Disease

      Paranoia, a sly stealthy disease
      Fells men as tall and as massive as trees
         Tiny fears in their minds
         Unravel, leave behind
      The

BLACK DEFORESTATION

BLACK DEFORESTATION

Like innocent trees rooted and growing
In a black social forest, we’re being chopped
down by roving lumberjack officers of the law,
as if we were arboreal-like diseased black growths:-
Ironically, such deforestation, is a view of jurisprudence
Along this forest trail, least traveled by the blind goddess
Of justice, as she forgivingly hugs guilt with minor reprimand:- 

While it

OF LIFE AND ROSES

OF LIFE AND ROSES

Life is like roses,
our petals and thorns tested
daily in our lives:-
Keep bloosoming and blooming :
enduring life’s naturing:-

CELESTIALLY GRACED LOVE

CELESTIALLY GRACED LOVE  

The day has its sun,
And the night, its moon:-

I am blessed to have you,
Each bright day and night:-

Your presence is as the cosmic beauty of God:
Reflecting the shiny, glorious glow of His light:-

As you are my ever glowing sun of my day,
May I ever be your glowing moon of your night:-

Wood as gold

Wood polished so bright to mimic gold,
Its yellow coat glitters in the sun,
May even fetch a high price when sold,
And still be cherished in the long run.

Like a flawless gold that flaunts great wealth,
Its glamour, a pride to regal thrones,
Where most kings recline in pride and health,
Yet it's mere wood disguised as gemstones.

Great craftsmanship like

Days I Let Drift

I wore my youth like shoes too loose to feel,
Each step unsure, yet never dared to run.
My heart was clenched, a rusting, idle wheel,
While days dissolved beneath the quiet sun.

I was the empty desk in every room,
A chair unclaimed in stories being told.
A lantern hung but never lit the gloom,
Too scared to burn, too comfortable
