Premium Member streams of mud
streams of mud we played in shallow streams of muck where there was no black, no white we were all mud-packed kids crusty-skinned little boys who knew the sludge would wash away when we dipped into the stream and splashed one another to reveal brown skin or pink touch football followed the mud spackling on a grass field with stone markers and oak trees with...

Premium Member O the visons of streams-
O’ sweet the rain drops heavenly spaced Amidst the glaze of sunlight kiss I embrace the winds they surround me O the visons of streams Soars the aftermath Soars the trees waving Soars the birds leaving trees Soars the air we kinded, kin we breathe O sweet the air sore smells O the sweet animals that dwell O the visons of streams O so solemn...

Slip Streams
Avoiding earthquakes on sidewalks, hill climbing with blind moles, trekking between heaven and hell. All this while eating an ice-cream cone in a midnight furnace. Lightly we walk a tightrope of visibility, sliding through an ever reborn birth canal. ...

Premium Member Given
My grandson asked me: “What blessing would you seek this morning?” I was washing the dishes of the previous night without any wishes. I sought, therefore, to continue as I was. “Wash the dishes?” he laughed,  asked me to bend, placed his hand on my head and solemnly said, “So be it”. What else could a man nearing eighty want, in his frail diabetic frame, still able to move...

Emerald Dreams and Sapphire Streams
In emerald fields where whispers grow, Beneath the sky’s sapphire glow, A healing touch in nature’s flow, Mends the heart, lets spirits show. Amidst the ores where magic’s found, Emotions rise, no longer bound, Through verdant woods and glistening ground, The soul in nature’s arms is crowned. A breeze that sings of hope and grace, In emerald’s hue, a warm embrace, While sapphire waves, a...

Premium Member Two Streams that Converge
Two streams that converge And flow inextricably Are like two lovers Meandering about who meet - Not knowing anything of what They were missing before But now having full sight Each of the other - Who rejoice at the freshet And meld and flow as one Assured of their fate ...

Toxic Streams
In a fantasyland of their own creation politicians spawn Spreading their eggs of division and lies among bottom feeding pawns Propagating treason corruption and graft to freely flow downstream Carrying our destiny over the falls — of shattered broken dreams (The New Room: February, 2024) ...

Premium Member On the silver plain of eternity, the streams of silence flow uninterrupted
On the silver plain of eternity, the streams of silence flow uninterrupted, In search of majesty, the white man, with branches of stars on his forehead. Hunters of illusions, their weapons aim at the shadows dancing on the sky, The prolonged assault echoes, the carrion of hopes in the wind fades, diluted. The Africans, with their lunar fangs, pierce...

Streams of Consciousness
A flood of thoughts I find myself thinking them over Rather religiously They get caught up in the flood sometimes And spill out without a warning sign And it all rains down in piles Like an ocean brought to life And since when is being sober Just not worth our time? We're putting in the miles Without a statement to...

Premium Member Streams of Gold, Blazing Andromedas
"Streams of Gold, Blazing Andromedas" Engagement came at a cost the written word read and worn like a purple robe to keep out the cold stave the hunger off, feed the soul eveything, Everything, is what it wants, silky words like feathers tickle the closed throat, the lips open the kisses like envelopes eternal sweet plumbs, like losengers in a glass swear jar...
