DO YOU REMEMBER
so we talked of our secret garden
where we would sit under the stars
exchanging kisses and making love
taking showers under waterfalls
we spoke of dancing together'
at twilight to whatever music
played to us by love's nature
drums of hearts melody of caressed skin
we wanted a union that only we understood
holding on to faith's threads
digging heels on time's sand
trying to keep our hearts entwined
we said we would be there
someday when our stars crossed
and our suns aligned
to create that perfect...
where we would sit under the stars
exchanging kisses and making love
taking showers under waterfalls
we spoke of dancing together'
at twilight to whatever music
played to us by love's nature
drums of hearts melody of caressed skin
we wanted a union that only we understood
holding on to faith's threads
digging heels on time's sand
trying to keep our hearts entwined
we said we would be there

and our suns aligned

Meghan and Harry
Meghan and Harry
So, Meghan and Harry appeared on the unelected
queen of America´s Oprah, last night.
Banality swam in a sea of phoney weeping.
Harry, the prince, when not feeding, the chickens
had to listen to them and nodding his head.
He cut a pathetic figure.
The gutter press goes after all young royals coloured
or not, Harry´s mother was white as the driven snow
yet she was hounded, one can say, to death.
There is one winner here that is hard-as-nails
Meghan got her prince, and she has been
elevated to schmaltz, the...

in shades do family trees grow
I kept an Intrinsic value
hidden in a photograph
a dystopian family with
gifts of occasional kindness
the puppetry begins
my mother is wearing
her best dress
an abstraction of tulips dancing
over cotton fabric where a shade
of turquoise matches dark
chestnut of her eyes
She is known for true blue black hair
it shines in dark enchantment
Though the corners of her mouth
hang low most often today she smiles
My sister in white looking like
a holy Madonna

Please Do Not Block The Flow Of Positive Energy
Positive energy never dies
Sometimes we must put on the gloves and forget about the whys
Female Dog in mental heat keep attacking me without merit
You cannot compare a Cubic Zirconia to a diamond of ten carats
Your delicate poems of armor
Aged and hostile, weak soul of spiritual dishonor
Petty words, that has no weight here, no class
Spewed only as venomous trash
Close your blind eyes and let me take you on a journey to the powers that be
To close minded ignorance, that try to define their rendition of me or my creed
If what...

a celebration of a true howled existence.
Under a new moon's
crimson umbra
I howl my existence known
Now, in this time
These proclamated days
They. Are. Ours. To. Claim.
I mark them—
In penetrating permanence
with this organic spiritual right
Mine and hers,
such strength
of cradled life
in every burst
Weary of stigmas past
Once,
just women
of wicked hearted
to bloom in full illumination
of known truth
Spilling forth
So joyous proud,
of a belly's incarnation

Straight Talk Live (And Whose Tending To Your Mind)
As the say in life, it is quicker to sink then attempt to swim
This is my last in class assignment I will have until May, which is presenting an Oral Presentation in Adolescent Physiology after a PowerPoint presentation for another junior class with classmates asking questions.
Then as of next Monday, I will be doing field work... whereas, I will be participating in real time group sessions at a New York Forensic Mental Health Facility.
I expect not to find anyone from DUP as a new admitting psychiatric patient… okay that was joke.

Eight Minutes Twenty Seconds
People hate people for the colour of their skin
People hate people for the poverty they live in
Every minute of everyday we argue to war
Every minute of everyday we argue to scar
A species that walks upright prefers to be on its knees
A species that is so unique and it longs only to hate
Infants we cry as we bully for a toy
The news starts to read the Sun has gone
We now have 8 minutes and 20 seconds to argue, hate and war
People hate people for the poverty they live in
Every minute of everyday we argue to war
Every minute of everyday we argue to scar
A species that walks upright prefers to be on its knees
A species that is so unique and it longs only to hate
Infants we cry as we bully for a toy
The news starts to read the Sun has gone
We now have 8 minutes and 20 seconds to argue, hate and war

Outside the Fire Circle
Tragic messes are attractive -
She knows; she's been there.
Everyone loves a train wreck.
Shining knights congregate,
drawn to the conflagration,
jousting for the privilege of rescuing,
taming the tempest.
This crone is much less interesting
now that the scabs have hardened
and stopped itching.
Half-hearted breaths
won't wake the embers,
and heroes don't rush
to wisdom's smoulder.
"No matter," she thinks,
as she watches, bemused,
from outside the fire circle.
For light can be found in her...
She knows; she's been there.
Everyone loves a train wreck.
Shining knights congregate,
drawn to the conflagration,
jousting for the privilege of rescuing,

This crone is much less interesting

Half-hearted breaths
won't wake the embers,
and heroes don't rush
to wisdom's smoulder.

as she watches, bemused,
from outside the fire circle.

man coiled in menses
a journey has commenced
something that can be sensed
as lining breaks she aches
she wears my shirt to pacify pain
my scent gives her solace
I bestow myself to her
placing pillows for her comfort
she lies her head gently
as the drums invade to serenade
her temporary visitor
tracing the outlines of her face
in attempt to place her in stillness
she rises and kisses my lips
while I persist to soothe her pain
I watch it drain her essence
slowly I bleed too ...

Mini earthquake experiences
My first trivial tremor experience had been in Southern Africa
And now this puny earthquake I felt in Tanzania.
I saw every thing waltz to and fro and lightly shake
Bottles turned ballerinas dancing slightly to the quake
I watched glass decors on the walls quiver and jolt
Scaredy me was half asleep, no wonder didn't bolt
I thought I was dreaming or imagining things
My bed and chairs converted into gentle swings.
All vials and vases
jiggled to dance a jig
The lil horrors over
So I cast humor's wig💃🏽 ...
