blue skies, white foam;
ride turquoise seas.
pine scent, sourced breeze,
green sunshine glow.
flag flaps, afloat -
turns, twists; a treat
of shadowed clouds -
   p i c  t o r  i a l
with chimney smoke.
earth’s breast heaving;
sun’s eyes gleaming
as dusk breaks through.
ribboned moon glow -
a heady gloam.

Excuses are an accessory to power

Motive:
jealousy twisted into a desire for power,
Systems built from broken trust,
Superiority sourced by those who exude it,
Blood spilled from the hands of those who are black
Empires built from false prophecy
Lies cultivated from the weeds of projected self-hatred
Motive - the white man to appear as the superior race

Alibi:
The fragility of whiteness,
The acidic tears of the white woman,
The weaponisation of power by the white man,
The homemade, home-baked stereotypes - to divide
Propaganda pieced together with the glue of prejudiced policies -
Weaving deceit to narrate harmful ideologies of blackness
The portrayal of victimhood, for the picture of white innocence,
The abuse of power, to abuse black people
Alibi - racial killings masquerading as self-defence 

The defence rests
Prosecutors sweat
The judge, blinded by bias 
The jurors , all white

The verdict:
Not guilty -
By reason of fear of colour
Acquitted
Now freedom awaits -
For the white man, now he can do it again

Premium Member Unambiguous You 'Lipassonet'

Unique undercurrents oust urban youth;
undulating surge unease surfing group,
accentuates; surroundings' virtue mute;
luck runs out, understanding, wouldn't recoup;

Cut up undisturbed, unlikely hurtful,
because: numerous arguments, pursued,
genuine ulterior grounds, doubtful;
thus, thoughts ultimately tuned attitude;

Quietude ruptures universal truce,
thus, unloosened corrupt accusation,
sought purely understandable sourced ruse,
though unfounded, but: subject's foundation,

Vague; uncertain prejudice, departure,
adequately neutralizes culture.

Premium Member Damp Day of Mist and Secrets

Birds scatter above goldish light rays 
sourced from sun and streetlamps 
that light a damp walkway with dewy air.  
Walking is a long-legged, brunette beauty 
adorned in simple, classy black and white 
who hides somber, wanting eyes beneath a 
stylish black hat. Golden bouquet in hand, 
she passes a suited, middle-aged man -                                                                                                          passes him so close it seems intimate, as             
if they are also two secrets passing.

Premium Member MY DAYS NOW HALCYON - My Song Two Contest

MY DAYS NOW HALCYON 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I embrace the sun's lavender glow,
for time has etched my story,
one of wisdom, silent knowing
an ancient river softly flowing.

Refrain:
sepia memories have come and gone
reflecting upon my days now halcyon

these eyes have seen a thousand dawns
regretting times when others I did wrong
self-forgiveness becomes my swan song
wondering if in my waning years I’ll be strong. 

Refrain
sepia memories have come and gone
reflecting upon my days now halcyon

the temperament’s softened with the years,
sometimes remembering trails of a million tears,
those invisible ones that cascaded down my face
a steady stream sourced at the river of my fears.  

Refrain
sepia memories have come and gone
reflecting upon my days now halcyon

soul has grown through time’s refrain
and my heart now beats a tolerant, gentle rhythm,
for it knows of love, of joy, of sorrow's schism.
its chambers beating with strength of life’s true wisdom.

Refrain
sepia memories have come and gone
reflecting upon my days now halcyon

Premium Member Tombstones in the Cemetery

"Some believe they must earn a life in heaven.unaware heaven is already their home" ~ CayCay



Human life is striving for joy while saturated with busy
bits of an emotional seesaw, its movements leave traces
in so many places, our goal seems pre-disabled.  So, it 
is that despite emotional throes we seek fulfillment over 
and over.

As God's own designed, divine-honed souls, we are 
light sourced as formed in His realm.  Reincarnation is the 
tutorial for achieving the brightest possible spiritual light.  
To earth we are sent countless times, exposed to endless 
human themed rhymes.  We die, into heaven we slide, 
advanced souls review and guide us through all we failed 
to discern, all we taught - be it good or an influence 
incongruent with who we really are.  A karma is decided and
once again a soul is flesh ignited.  Once a soul has met all 
goals, the most radiant color is bestowed; the color of 
euphoric radiance star-shining for eternity.

born human on earth
to spirit world all return ~~
man visits tombstones
