It was as if the communication of my birth right up to adulthood had... Oh well ! A broken telephone line connection , struggling to find common ground of...

A Woven Whisper
A thread, a thought, a silent plea,
Woven through air for you to see.
A gentle hum, a quiet grace,
Finding its rhythm, time, and place.
So may this small gift, softly spun,
Echo long after words are done.

THEY ARE JUST POETSWe clap and cheer
when they speak well
phrases that please
that cast a spell.
But behind the brilliance
are borrowed lines
they read poets
study the rhymes.
Our leaders rhyme
not truth but lies
with practiced timing
and careful guise.
They stir the crowd
with crafted speech
not to uplift
but to mislead.
And yet
if words can sway
the hearts of men
then write your truth
and write again....

TELL ME THE COLOUR OF WORDSTell me words are red
And I'll tell of the lives
We lose everyday in the middle east
Of the lives in danger in Northern Nigeria
The Sahel, Ukraine, Russian and Syria.
Tell me words are white
And I'll tell you how a world of peace is
I will tell you how you go to bed at ease
And how deeply...

pretenseThe
pretense of knowing
more than
the immediacy
the appearance
the story
seems as futility aglow
though we all pretend
and the pretense is
it too
pointing
to that which
is not there
seems a futility
yet that
which is not there
may appear as
pointing...

I am the alabaster moon hanging low upon the snow tipped mountains
I am the pearl laced purity of a Winter day of ivory fashion
I am the melocholy melodies of a crystalline canvas pleading to a virgin rose of love
I am the light of a new day placed upon the blank page of the purest inspiration

The ash in the wood burner is still warm white and esoteric
an unborn dream a sin to shovel into a sink bucket when
it looks holy and ought to be strewn upon the tranquil sea
with the first drop of rain the ash in the bucket a dust cloud
disperse like souls in the forest but,...

Delusion Dialogue
The silent rehearsal of words,
a conversation held within
the confines of my own skull.
Each phrase tested,
turned over,
examined for its weight,
its potential to land
just so.
I am speaking to you,
even when you're not here.
The arguments I construct,
the apologies I craft,
the confessions I almost make—
they echo in this quiet room,
a phantom dialogue
that never quite reaches your ears.
It's a way...

Words at playI'm holding on to a sentence no matter how long it runs.
Without punctuation, the story is aways late.
I envisioned a book with names for calling
pages and pages still no answer.
an exchange of ideas through a volley of words
just trying to get a point across.
A line with four corners
that's the shape of a pen....

Art is a Lifeform Version 2Flowing across the page
Everything comes to me at once
The colors dance upon the paper
Like a performance on a stage
A dance of colors
Swirling in every direction
Jumping and turning
Just like a little dancer
I am voiceless
If I had words
Would they be even more beautiful?
More beautiful than my words without sound?
A question I have no answer to
So I just...
