Tames Poems

The blundering wind, blows absence of sensible youth.
It can tell no lies, nor can it tell the truth.
It blows strong on the flower and onto the grass.
Where they both huddle blindly, unaware they won't last.

Erstwhile the wind can blow for...Read More

surges sans stretches
vying voluptuous verses
etched'n hoisted hanker
sassy society triggered
felon feasts fetched
from fanatic flesh

oozing oblongata seeped'n
moaning munched mystery
nocturnal nimble's spree

whooshing wits wet
bruised emotions belched
hoisted memories melt

eerie salient stance
tames taunted trance.

A ll things are as it may, beckons a queendom of two faiths,
B orrowed Boleyn's "B" blue brocade the better choice made,
C ancer claims the spring, agrees with the passage of her sister,
D elves to part the heavens anew throne,...Read More

In the midst of love
Lioness tames the lion
Showing him new ways of thought
Leading him gently
The lion gets to decide
Is the lioness worth it?

There have been moments in my life enjoyed
more for the forest than the fallen leaves.
White drops of ink that improbably bleed
right off their journal to rupture the void
no one had known existed ‘til destroyed
by the birth of a daughter her...Read More

I enter the field, colored by sun's flames
Dark distant mountains, mystery lures
Life now survival, without any games
I am alone, reliant on my own cures

The bright distant light, soaks me with warm hope
As I make my own path through the tall...Read More

My seasoned Iroko
The Olumo rock
Of my spine
The one who climbs
Mount Kilimanjaro 
With one step
I salute you

Mother,
Whose face is crisper 
Than,
 Bright, black stars, gold
And,
Precious diamonds of Africa
I salute you 

Mother,
Who fearlessly tames fiery furnace
With bare fingers
Who kills one million lions...Read More

It’s closing in,
The harmonic melody,
It’s tone deliberately grim.

As a one-time melody, it is heard by all.
A familiar, yet unfamiliar ring.

For the majority - its tune is distance.
But like all those before, I can hear it-
I can hear it from deep...Read More

After a century, 
I still get sucked into the swirl of light 
Into your eyes and attached to the flare of fire 
And rumbling steps that
Shake my walls. 

Throwing back the years, in a cave I discovered and
Watched you blowing...Read More

I am in love.
I do not “do” love. I feel it. It pulses through me, hard, and blurs my vision. 

It gifts me with the graceless two left feet, and then, 

I find myself staring, and even though I have...Read More

O Winter, please cast your icy shadow
my violet will bloom with passion
let your onslaught freeze her body
when she dares her bold expression.

For my violet is hope's last dew
sturdy she clasps to her tenuous grasp 
and bloom she will till her...Read More

Life had accelerated
to a dizzying pace
do this-
go there-
a madcap race
that made no sense
no reason or rhyme
but you never noticed
for who had the time?

You meant no harm
but spiritual disciplines
that once meant so much
~ had to go ~
as they seemed outmoded
cumbersome and...Read More

when you feel so much, too much, that you don't even know what you're feeling
matters of the heart and the nature of beauty

Eternal Waltz

Beside another recent lain
Dug before the morning rain
Laid in rows midst flowers and grass
Where hand-carved marble speaks of past

Blackbird seeking worm or grain
Eyes the earthen mound again
Whence abundant morsal found
In spoil fresh dug from sacred ground

Brief cessation of the...Read More

I may watch it rain
To some it sounds so insane
Just water hitting the pane
But this tames my minds pain
So I may just watch it rain

Hear the sounds of the winds
The tap of drips and drops creates an uneven tune to...Read More

She threatens demons
   with her imposing chocolate eyes
   puffy rose lips
   a dance of her hand
She commands shadows to turn to pearl
   her honey hair long and rich
   flecks of...Read More

 You always catch me when I seem to fall
When my world turns dark and gray
I just say the Lords prayer
To get me back on my way

When I am lost in disarray
I find the answers when I pray
That you provide...Read More

It hardly seems a fair fight,
it’s like death has already won,
we’re doomed from our conception,
it’s over before it has begun.
We live our whole lives in fear
of when it will come for us,
spend billions to hold it off,
to beat it back...Read More

The demise of tears and fears fraternizes no frown
From my heart honed to handle an emphatic event
That stresses the face and pace of concerns in my town.

Tame any dame who claims to blame Bloom Brown
For infusions and profusions that signal...Read More

Focus, the master key that unlocks
Stoutly locked doors to your future
Feeds on discipline that blocks
Distractions and fractious fractions in your culture. 

Focus, the gismo that breaks
Deadlocks and tames dreadlocks
In your environment where reckless wrecks
Catalyse red herrings teeming with simplistic spokes.

Focus,...Read More

MUSICAL PASSION
Music is the living soul 
And beating heart of humanity.
It lights my fire of passion
Or tames my restless spirit.

Music calls me to live, taste, feel and see.
The spark of hope and change is ignited.
I hear the voice of the...Read More

Shall we ever meet again 
 at the crossroads of the mind?
 Shall we ever meet again 
 in the fragrant fields of thyme,
 though memories fade and flowers must wilt 
 and every heart must fail? 
 Shall we...Read More

B-ehold the life on earth, 
A-ll things here will perish; 
M-an and animals are alike, 
B-ecause they both vanish. 
I-n beholding life on earth, see the mankind's frailty; 
E-yes find that everything is willed by the Almighty. 

B-ehold the life...Read More
