Rosemary's WeddingThis Sunday,
Before noon,
In my community church,
Wedding bells ring?
Rosemary,
Daughter of our land,
Weds!
Grand invitations
With ancestral R.S.V.P.
To be spoken with flutes,
Dressed in yellow palm fronds.
The invitation cards spread like
Wide fire in the harmattan,
Fluttering with the strength of
Flirting confetti
Between the navel of the earth
And the heart of the village square.
The living and the dancing —
Kinsmen assembled —
Speaking alien tongues.
Some...

MondayI dread Monday —
Unlike any other day.
Tumbling upon it — with eyes groggy,
And limbs bound tight with festive strings,
Accompanied by the foulest halitosis from a wayward breath,
With all the liquor and litter,
From the dizzying heights of the debauched weekend —
Reminds me of the journey from
Banterland to Queryland....

InformationFrom sunrise, when the breath of the new-born day
Kisses my eyes, information startles me.
Waves of my sleep leave the froth from my mouth,
Youthful and earnestly fresh with the harassment of
Both cuddly dreams and feverish nightmares.
The glut of information besieges me like the
Waterfall of cracked rocks, wailing with liquid power.
I hasten to read the first-ever BREAKING...

Social AnxietyAm I acting normal?
Am I blinking too much?
Am I staring too long?
Are people staring at me?
Feeling nervous, embarrassed, uncomfortable inside.
Reminding myself to not let the unease show.
Making jokes to mask the nervous thoughts I have.
Laughing to cover up the awkward reactions.
Focusing on the distance to avoid staring...

As False as SmilesManners are the party fancy —
Petit goldleaf on the melting pudding,
A sticking cream now on your fingers,
Immovable for hours.
Manners like a lady,
Her morning bonnet pinned,
Perching, tilting in the wind.
That flat earth, mountained at the dome,
With feather shores and flower groves,
Shiny plastics, false as those at home.
Nods and bobs and toothy smiles,
Inflections in...

When Money Becomes PowerI have known the hollow silence of empty hands,
once full of gold, now dust and fading strands.
I gave my heart in seasons bright and fair,
helping those in need, with love laid bare.
But when the coins ran out, the doors grew cold,
no pennies left to buy a dream or hold.
Help came shackled, wrapped in debt’s tight...

Pandora’s Box(“Pandora’s Box”, 2014, original pen and ink and oil)
Pandora’s Box
I don’t know who she was,
What she did or how she did it,
And maybe as the first it was sublime
Or maybe she was just another woman
With the kind of perfect snatch
To launch a thousand ships
On a sea of broken hearts,
But Pandora certainly left her...

sugar booWe’re frantically typing to finish our assignments
and end our Friday night homework confinement.
Chella wants to go to a frat-house soirée
I went to a few of those back in the day.
No more frat parties, I once emphatically said.
I make rules for myself, usually based on emotion
but once I calm down, rules are made to be broken,

analyzing the dynamics of social interactionsa fear of commitment
or fear of marriage
exuberant, swinging

In every genre she still wishes
to be pleased

even when she refuses to inspire
even when others don't hear

6 Dead, 4 Wounded, And One On The WayLeukemia boys and
Leukemia girls wave
in hospital volunteers,
as the angels wave
them away.
What is
love?
Beyond
an overpriced
ambulance ride,
and an unnecessary
hospital stay?
The most beautiful things:
summer sweat,
and Rome after
rain.
Inside,
a child draws
a yellow sun
with trembling fingers.
The IV, taped
down like it’s trying
to hold him
there.
Forced positivity.
A heart full of
apathy.
I see that
same world you try
to see with substance sober,
and I’ll be the first to...

Social DysphoriaI admit to my defeat ...
I've been vanquished.
No other loss I've ever known,
Has left me this anguished.
What makes it worse is
Not knowing who really beat me.
As they were invisible and anonymous,
Begging the question, ' How can that be '?
Well...

My Shyness Turned into social anxietyBe quiet so you won’t be heard anymore. You might have heard this phrase growing up. Why do people think it’s their job to silence others and stop them from speaking freely?
Every spoken word should be heard, like a loud ringtone from a cell phone that signals someone is calling. Everyone deserves to be heard.
