Apples
Smooth round and regular
Bountifully filling orchards with unforbidden fruit
A symbol of all that is wholesome and healthy
Stability body and mind
Life goes on past my lifetime.
Hard to believe...
Bereft!
I think I shall watch from heaven.
Better than a blockbuster movie —
the other side of nasty and nice.
Shall I turn toward those golden streets?
Greet each day at the Pearly Gates?
Or shall I look downwards to my progenies
to see the mess or mass celebration.
I hear the ecstasy of choiring cherubim.
I turn toward fruity trees releasing
color, shape and scent.
I take an unforbidden bite.
Each bite releases endorphins.
Doubting her meal will turn out right.
Burnt rice, too crispy chicken.
Oh...oh...she’s turned her face
in the right direction.
Correction of error.
Giving thanks to God Almighty.
Now I’m all ears —
she has my attention.
Does she feel my smile?
I’ll hug her for awhile.

Unbroken unridden
Unseen unforbidden
Unbridled running free
Unwitnessed through the trees >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Unknown but unto thee
Unequaled in romance
Unambiguous lance

Eloquently you entered my world
Cold hearted warm tongue sweet words
Smooth moves divine cajoled linguistic
Loved by all my heart throbbed to you
Dragoon of cold spawn of hateful worship
Inequities you knew your trivial path
Flesh cold unforbidden dripped from
Your bleeding lips large teeth and jaws
A practiced Dragoon who had splayed a
World of wholesome Angels in half
Dreams broken , tears , shattered worlds
And you a beast unrelinquished strong
Dark whole devouring all that remained
Pure and loving you will perish in the
Knowledge that I will never forgive you
Black ,shadow,damned you are forever.
Goodbye fledgling from hell black ash
From hell you shall burn for a million
Years for I will shun you forever Dragoon Ash
Dark night! Dark Night!
Come now, come again!
For it's time to dance music with the dead
Dark night, dark night!
Come now, come again!
For it's time to fly on gourds like airplanes
Dark night, dark night!
Come now, come again!
For it's time to eat unforbidden meat
Dark night, dark night!
Come now, come again
For it's time to twist religious animals
Dark night, dark night!
Come now, come again!
For it's time to sing songs of our ancestors “baji ni moyi tuja bija”
Dark night, dark night!
Come now, come again!
Bring laughter and joy under scorching sun
Dark night, dark night!
Come now, come again!
Bring to life true stories of our roots
Dark night, dark night!
Come now, come again!
Dark night, dark night!
Come new, come again, come now!

bite juicy apple
tastes of the unforbidden
salt pours from my eyes.

It’s my Love reverse
Can you see reverse
You can’t see our vision
Can you see my mission trap in an intermission
I can’t release my feelings that’s trap in a dungeon of Unforbidden Love
You can’t see my soul
In the summer its cold in the winter it’s hot
The rain goes up and the Trees grows down
My lips move father to kiss you
My eyes close shut just to see you
My beginnings at the end and my end becomes my present
My sun shines at night and it’s fluorescent
My moon rises in the morning watch me rotate
My feelings is on an axis of Love from above
Its my Love Reverse
she smiles and gives the thumbs-up sign,
bites off a mouthful, gives me mine,
oh, sweetest fruit ever tasted
of the tree one never planted !
