Adored Lord Broad
Let's applaud our
Adored Lord Broad
Fame and awards
Crossing swords &
Bossing visiting hordes
Name in the frame
On Lords boards
Cooing..wasn't it grand
Tanned boy with headband
Wooing the fanned stand
No wonder we're so fond
Of this towering..glowering
Powering flowering blonde
Plumping for knees pumping
Hearts a jumping
All a flutter
Tub thumping
Jaffas he's a scrumping
Utter bowling nutter
Batters in tatters
On the ropes
Slain with disdain
Hopes in vain
Dope

In the labyrinth of shadows, where trees clutch the forest's shade like a hidden talisman
In the labyrinth of shadows, where trees clutch the forest's shade like a hidden talisman,
Like old, diligent guardians, they embrace the unknown stories of the night,
Hidden under the petal of an ethereal flower, a hidden world whispers secrets,
Under the azure sky, previously unknown, limitless horizons unfold.
Our love takes shape from a distant star, seeking paths

Talisman
They say he's more than just a man
They say he had a talisman
For his arms are full of power
They could climb a soaring tower
He trains his brain to catch the rain
He trains his heart to beat the strain
His brain works almost everytime
He makes his brain and body rhyme

Talisman
pharaoh's scarab
eternity's talisman
regenerative
afterlife rebirth
ancient Egypt's obsession
winged scarab takes flight
great significance
scarab held in diseased hand
talisman of hope

Human Bloom
a child collapsed cold in the garden
talisman waved with the wind
violently close to a pardoning-
hardening, molding the kin to her seam inter-winged
horribly marbling volatile harmony
azure veins fold under skin- jittering
gently golden it stings
effigy holding the strings
partially fondling close within cartilage-
pieces now bloom into things-
before following-
thin choreology

Talisman of Adoration
.The Universe revolves around our love.
As I run through your hair with my finger,
Hungry fingers supply magical grasp
Lying in the gloom, silent next to each other.
At sad dawn, your magic dust loses its ability.
The sun refuses to leave; I urge her to shutter.
You can have me any place you wish with you.
My heart is overjoyed,

Talisman
It seems to me that
Dawn is a talisman of sorts.
I construct honeyed, passionate poems
In the earliest hours of day.
My words are so mellifluous,
I read them aloud until
The cracking of my voice
Pulls me back into reality.
The serenity of writing when all are asleep
Is simply ineffable and I cannot
Think of a better time to be an

African Talisman
Down the steep mountains and into the slopes,
Darting divine etched twixt duration and existence,
There run the graceful gazelles and fiery antelopes,
Until their breath retreat watching other presence.
Wildebeests rushes by ceasing the opportunity to gain,
Nature’s bare feet turning brown sand on the beach,
Big pebbles not indelibly seen as the smallest sandy grain
Leaving the

Talisman
You are not a good person at all
If you don’t promote what is good
And prevent things which is bad
You are a person indeed mean
When you suppress the meritorious
And accommodate the undeserving
The place is not really the good one
Where dissidents are not tolerated
And treat well who are in the opposition
Your education is totally worthless
If you don’t

Talisman
As I sat on the bed, and opened the box
I fondled the keepsake, in the palm of my hand
It is tied to a youth that I never lost
Often the memories may be callused by time
Some have been polished. Tho' some may be gone
into the reverie, where I cannot climb
Smooth as the dream, that

Talisman
The witch & I are one
He cast a spell over the moon
He promised me love
He promised it soon
I dove into a cauldron
Headfirst into a brew
I needed a phoenix talon
To wash my heart anew
The witch & I are friends
He gave me his talisman
We wrote out names in blood
We were both freshmen
On a tree our names engraved

A Talisman
There, in the sand, you found me
I stood out, alone,
brighter than all other stones.
Shaped by time, and polished by the tide,
you thought of me, just a simple thing.
That I would be a memory,
a keepsake of a better time,
when sadness was not a wound against the sky.
I cannot solve the problems in your mind.
But
