POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
I can't wait for the day
I can't wait for the day ,
God listens,
To my dreams,
Spell binding,
In the temple of tempest,.
Wind blows with a callous undertone,
Fickle like weather patterns,.
Lip read well wishers,
With baited breath,
Cradle to grave,
Cyclic life trajectory,
Coat my being,
Rather die poor with freedom,
Money chasing publian,
Ever green egalitarian,
Humming his humanistic chorus,
While sitting looking into eyes ,
Under the dawns chorus,
No more sad songs,
Eagerly awaiting that moment, ...

The pen is forsaken
Pen is forsaken,
Illegitimate with prose,
Like a pimps love child,
Ink bleeds with wartorn word wizardry,
Creativity I clasp with a hand gripped by a disconcerting disease,
Revolution most certainly not televised ,
Dancing saintly with devilish moral deficit,
I often ponder if life would be easier if I won a million ?,
Or would my riches crumble,
Like earthquakes and condominiums,
Heavenly conceptions get ostracized,
By overlords who oversee oblivion,
By draconian dictators wielding a...

My cameo
My Cameo is cosmic,
She's strange dancing in the purple rain,
My heart waits in vain like Bob,
To see exodus would be magnanimous,
Save from the vacuum of the vacuous,
For I am no knight,
Just a dreamy eyed wage slave,
Keeping my modest income,
Is not my dictum,
Rather a capitalist affliction,
I see a harem that envelopes my heart,
My ambition is christened,
By the glistening of our bodies,
Under the sunlight,
Love my poison,
I drink under the umbrella of the utopian,
The way you cradle your child, ...

She swore blind
She swore blind,
She dined with Demi God's,
Yet another ego driven epilogue,
Sultry whines in the nights ,
Whilst drinking budget wines,
Lambasted by Looney,
My only crime,
Is giving my soul on a platter,
A cuisine best served cold out of the chilled
A pretty acolyte afflicted by memoirs of historic abuse,
In ghetto entrenched lines,
Who cares if the kids are yours or mine,
I cradle them both with a sincerity that's sublime,
Soured by the tawdry tales of misplaced ' 'baby faddah' jibes,

The Sun is ours
The sun is ours,
A glorious seritonin bestower,
Chief smile co- ordinator,
Our crops grow,
Through your lustrous gaze,
Whenever your near,
I don't need the purple haze ,
Narcotics,
Or drugs ,
To remind me to have fun,
The cows still graze,
Caressing the earth,
Ushering people together,
In an organic communion,
When I see you in your native state ,
You make me forgot,
About the atrocities,
Famine, war,...

Schooled in the carnal Arts
She is a vixen,
Emotionally vacant,
Decommissioned,
Debunked like governmental provision,
Her eyes slanted
She couldn't give a shit for chivalry,
Romance is dead,
Affections are as welcomed
As cyanide laced air,
Read the epitaph drenched in a bloodbath,
Deafened to your pleases of reprieve,
Numb to your advances,
Letters I wrote,
Accomotose,
Literally denounced,
Your whole narrative,
Disparaging,

Legal Alien
Legal alien,
Deport innocent bodies ,
Sadness reigns supreme,
Decommissioning families,
Structural ethnic cleansing,
Gingerly masqueraded as an error in administration,
Colonially seduced for Labour,
In the 50's and 60's,
Come to the motherland,
The empire belowed,
Years of toil,
Nation building,
Yet the fruits of your labour,
Soured by this debacle ,
For what crime have I committed to raise the ire of her majesty's vexation?
A question...

Beats Hypnotise
Beats hyptonise,
Verbalize tribes with enchanted speech,
Caressing me like sticks of celery,
Like it's meant to be ,
Nutrious not overly capricious,
Devilish diatribes,
Be wary of dietary,
Requirements,
Carniverous tyrant,
Leading slum men through ,
Paupers prophecy,
Sauntering socialist,
With preposition juxtapose,
Narrative, literal harbinger,
Dreaming of more pussy,
Than a cattery,
Can't you see go together like iniesta and xavi,
Ball playing stalwarts, ...

Free from the chains of confusion.
Free from the chains of confusion,
Cognac kisses from the caricature queens,
Of affection,
Dance with indecision,
Sip from the fountain of self actualisation,
Only to be told your life template,
Is being sold like monetary obligations,
No release from the reckless,
Abandon,
Sleepwalk in outer realms ,
Talk to the phantom,
The ghost of yesteryear,
Talks in semantics,
If only I could turn back time,
Riddled with retrospection,
All I needed was your kindred caress,
Your lips utter...

Holiday memoirs
Jamaican odesey,
Carribean caper,
Bathing in the sea ,
In the land of roots of culture,
Deep blue sea conjures up memoirs of Marley and Garvey,
Patois infused sentiments sung sweetly to
Me 'Ini spirits lives inside me '
My heritage it cradles the spirit ,
While I make circles in the white sand,
Sun worshipping,
The heat is holistic and healing,
Soul soothes to the rhythm of island magic,
On my sunbed I am content,
With the world passing me by so heavenly,
Goodbye to the rat race for...

Reflecting on Betjeman.
Literal offerings from the Gods melting pot,
Don't confuse righteous vibes for whispering,
'She said ' or 'what not's',
I come from a social cleavage ,
Not mammary,
Pirouette with prejudice,
Refusing to sip a pale shade of opaque,
Rather colouring dreams with the a palette woven in a kaleidoscope of possibilities,
Literally besieged by John Betjeman,
In 1937,
Can we slough off the deadskin,
To rebirth the industrial deception,
Excuse me if I sound Machiavellian,
Perhaps am entranced by aspirations and...

Humanistic longing
Who barks loudest,
As detractors sing the sullen symphony,
Of the fractious carcass,
Soldiers of bygone sentiment,
Submerged in verbiage of the scarred,
We still judge being of who's the darkest,
Malovent marksman,
Racial lines intertwined like parchment,
I stat voyeur like,
The truth seeking guardsman,
Underneath an epiphany of evangelical disarmament,
Love lost like murmured memoirs,
Give me a reason for your treason,
Tyrannical enchantment,
Judging the impoverished many,
As their pockets are empty,
No...
