SLUMBER OF THE MOON
Darkness, don't loose your light;
I CANNOT.
Here comes yellow, struggling against the fog.
Time, slow down;
I CANNOT.
The sun is waking up.
Full, am I?
FOOL YOU ARE!
Setting behind the clouds.
I CANNOT.
Here comes yellow, struggling against the fog.
Time, slow down;
I CANNOT.
The sun is waking up.
Full, am I?
FOOL YOU ARE!
Setting behind the clouds.

Racism's singular pedigree is undeniably its immoral and malevolent arrogance!
By Stanley Collymore
Racism does exist although a lot of people don’t really
know that, and most ironically the vast majority of
those who fall into that category are evidently
racists themselves! And one of the primary
reasons for that is that their racism is so detailedly
ingrained, that to all of them it would be taken
as absolutely insane to question, far less so
distrust something that is such a crucial
part of who and what they essentially
are. And, furthermore, impeccably
amalgamates the manifestation

Hand Surfing
I want to go hand surfing
Let the needle land with the perfect roll
Watch my hand come and go
To the melody of my thoughts
And to words of a song I can’t recall
Skimming through waves of air
Down unnamed roads
To an end that will come too soon
I want to go hand surfing
Let the needle land with the perfect roll
Watch my hand come and go
To the melody of my thoughts
And to words of a song I can’t recall
Skimming through waves of air
Down unnamed roads
To an end that will come too soon
I want to go hand surfing

Pink Courage
No less passionate than any aggressive stance
Daring
In silence
Subtle
Deliberate coincidence
Sharper than any straightforward verbal banter
Cunning
Curveball pitcher
Indirect
Bullseye shooter
Still, but substantially concentrated
Unassuming
Patiently persisting
Unwavering
Protracted struggling
Against a generation
Cross-flowing
Behind the scene
Rewriting
Life as they would have wanted
A shade paler than red
Like a second class citizen
By temperature and...

OBSESSED
To be has got to be
When urges defines my will
A single mind was born
Hysterical
— Fostering frenzied desire
And I scratched till I bleed
Sated yet discontented
And it starts all over
Again
— Greed married my reasoning

MY SHADOW STAYED BEHIND
For decades
I lived my life
Toiling and struggling
I foiled a path
And then another
Fork roads and cross ones,
changing lanes sometimes
Never have I looked back
Regrets followed
But failed to catch up
In the mids of it all
I stopped and looked up
Thought to contest
The glaring of the Sun
But the noon shine hurt my eyes,
And so I bowed down
All I saw was a spot of light
My shadow nowhere in sight
I looked around
In panic and in doubt

From dawn till dusk
From dawn till dusk a war is raging,
someones life always needs saving,
i hear the sound of bombs and guns,
But I'm not afraid I'm not gonna run,
from dawn till dusk the weather changes,
devils and angels make their exchanges,
people fall in love under bright blue skies,
by artificial smiles we are disguised,
From dawn till dusk I sit and recall,
If I'm human inside at all,
I'm caught between dimensions I'm misplaced,
I thought no one cared but those thoughts have been erased,

Lakeside 29/30
And the wind soughing in the trees
Catches in their ears, is sent out
In scouting parties of sensation down their spines.
If you say it became language or it was nothing,
Who touched whom?
In what hurtle of starlight?
Poor language, poor theory
Of language. - Robert Hass
I take out the box, it could be any kind-
a shoebox or a treasure chest, or a room-
and currently the lid is closed. I’m not
here to talk about the cat,
if it’s dead or present. Here I am in life,

On My mind
How could I ever tell you how I feel
My heart constantly beating
the thoughts that spin around my head
sending me all over the place in the time so how should I feel
Happy, sad, upset. is there even a point to say it all
could it be that the things that I have seen aren't my dream?
Is it something I'm doing to just make you happy.
Is it even what I want to do. just who am I really that is a question to ask in time.
The answers won't even be answered in my lifetime.
am I a disappointment in that I see so is this just me.

Hoisted Hankering Fart - Day 22
smirks drip dances
seeped'n rustic rhythm
birthing moaning melody
spanked by surges
airy ambiguity fostered
callous concerto register
punctured piano pulses
riveting reeling rises
squashing sassy capillaries
then haughty halt
diminuendo digs gore
perforating pulpy pores
hoisted hankering fart:
callous emotions' cart.

VOTO DE BODA
Estoy en carro prestado
Porque el tren ya me habia dejado
Muchos fueron los años
Que solo encontraba engaños
Hasta que un galán secuestro mi corazón
Y para casarme, me ha dado buena razón.
Pasaré los dias junto a él
Y por siempre le sere muy fiel.
En los tiempos Buenos y los tiempos malos
Depende si le hago la comida o se mete en chaos.
