Dreams That Matter
Love costs all we are and will ever be,,
yet it is only love which sets us free'
-Maya Angelou
I still got faith in some new day,
Lawd, don't take my hopes away.
If rings and curls and pink on little girls
make fierce boys scare them into whirls,
let us stay all laughing, all the same,
we and they are all the same.
Us, we're no better than the next big thing;
a song that's all the same, we sing.
Unsilenced, our exuberant song
of hope that tomorrow will be as bright
as today, or...
yet it is only love which sets us free'

A Father's Pearl
Provider, protector, progenitor, patriarch
Everything you do comes from your heart
The start of creation began with your seed
Implanted into the womb to be conceived
When nothing impedes our seeds progression
Or whenever it seeps through our protection
We receive the great blessing of fatherhood
The motivation to seek education & livelihood
Understood that you'd soon be relied upon
To raise and mentor your daughter or son
One that'll bring more sunshine to each day
Especially when they say Happy Father's Day ...

I blow raspberries on fresh skin
watch the world light up in giggles
Some days it's the simple things
that we need the most

Serpent's Work
We get poisoned by
the black mamba
snake to succumb
to his way of evil
by doing his dirty
work like killing
drug dealers who
sell their shit
to innocent kids
because kids our the future

sunshine
You chase the light
like the shadows are beneath you
your sunshine brightening
the darkness that wears me
like a moonless midnight rain
Sometimes I can forget the cold
in the warmth of your smile
and I live for those moments
fleeting as they are
If I could freeze time for you
I would
and let your love heal
the spaces within me that give way
to the darkness too easily
I need more than what the darkness gives

the inevitable way of the world
her dulcet lip of quivering love
tares like the Raven,
in its pale black sleep,
brave and on the edge of glamour.
its soft and aged reflection
melting on the wet black pavement,
like van Gogh's Starry Night,
in the world of lassitude
where the children know very little,
and gambol down the sidewalks.
we look down upon them:
oftentimes envious,
sometimes in pity at their
frail little bodies bouncing around
in their short lived Eden.

the innocents
what happened to George
Floyd was racist, those police officers
deserve all they get, and yet,
spare a thought for their wives and
their kids are left reeling
at the quite sudden turn of events

Mama Bird
The last of the
boxes were
removed from
your room
this morning
I dropped you
off at your
new place
You hugged me
tight, which is
fairly new-
for a moment
you were small
again (tucked
against my heart)
I wept on
the way home-
for my nest
is now empty

I MET YOU WHEN YOU WERE A BUMP
I met you when you were a bump,
created in a last-year hump,
as I passed your mother one day
when sun gave off plenty of ray.
She stood within her garden's gate
while lawn sprinkler did irrigate
the flowers that were brightly growing
while your mother looked so glowing.
She held your sister on an arm
on that day summerily calm,
She wore just a green bikini;
I thought she'd tanned agreeably.
I guessed in two months you were due
to emerge from her body, nu,
prayed sister would accommodate
your new...

You smile like the world will never end
like this moment is the only moment
worth living for
and some days for me
it is

The Adventures of Rat-Bird: Bedtime
Once upon a time in a messy house there lived a mum, a dad, a big sister, a baby brother, and a parrot called Rat-Bird.
Rat-Bird liked to go on adventures in the messy house, there was always so much to explore.
Every day in the messy house with mum, dad, big sis, and baby brother was a little bit different, but they always ended the same way. With bedtime.
Rat-Bird was mostly very good at bedtimes. When he was little he liked to fall asleep cuddled up in mum's shirt, or snuggled up in one of baby's blankets, resting on dad's chest. Sometimes he'd...

The New Tang
Of all the weird things going on today
With scientists & politician fame,
About fake news, conspiracies & death,
The way the media is dropping names.
Suggestions coming in for miracles
From bleach & PineSol, household iodine.
You’ll find something under a basin sink
To curing common colds with 409.
But long before COVID-19 arrived,
Were kids who never had enough to eat.
A mix of vitamin and minerals
Was made, enriching food like it was meat.
So comes an age of putting to the test
A powder upon...
