The Throb Beneath
I've gotten way more sex
by being an asshole more than a gentleman
so what's the impetus
when I know my toxicity is a
secret turn on for you
secreted between thighs and all those midnight sighs
I creep and seep in spaces where your Rose
and chocolate 10 inch dildos
could never fulfill the Musk of my Masculinity
cuz God doesn't make replacement parts
thus the dearly departed we've become
forever pointing fingers
yet Love always linger in undercurrents
I need you..you need me
let's undress and address our divine nakedness ...

This is a mild forenoon, winter coats
are put aside
Some men wear shorts and show hairy white legs
Elderly ladies are walking their lap-dogs
snappy little beast eyeing every passerby
they won the big dog lottery, guard their prize
a human for life.
A road sweeper with his wheelie bin walks by
the pavements are clean this day, but he crosses
the road among the bushes, an empty packet
of crisp, with his gloved hand ( yes
for heavens
sake,) deposit the empty packed in the bin
He wheels his bin under a...

Clouds of humankind.
Clouds often share of themselves and
it brings us rain.
A pouring forth that only comes from
open things usually broken or torn.
We all hold our secrets or similar
things.
The paradox of dying since the moment
you’re born.
In order to speak, a silence, however
innocent, becomes broken.
The sweetest song a bluebird sings
still leaves it bleeding.
So easily we miss the cut of
words misspoken.
To find the heart no longer beating
but still needing.
Much the night breed suffer long to
watch the...

the wealthy couple
The wealthy couple
who live on an island in the Far East
but once a year, they visit Europe
every year when I see them, they have changed
Alas, I wish it had been for the better
both are followers of a health regime concocted
by a Guru of the type that prays on the rich
they are now advanced middle-aged (below 61
and in the hope of staving off the time of elderliness
they trim and live on a lettuce a day.
Their effort are valiant but in vain time always win
At a distance and in the afternoon light, they look fine
like...

Sub-Strata: Episode One
tell me exactly when it happened
when the lies began to superimpose your reality
how they slithered into your comfort zones
sub-planting weeds into fertile garden
let's speak of Invites
what made you into the socially hardened
person that you are today?
trace your palms...see the fault lines
and ask yourself as you take inventory of the Soul
where did the whispers originate?
never mind the Law of Attraction ...

3 seconds of thought
wisdom?
no i am not she.
that was dumb, why did i do that?
they know i’m stupid now.
that was rude, why did i say that?
that probably hurt their feelings.
i have been so much for so many,
do i have to be wise?
must i be friend?
can i be lover?
will i be successful?
am i perfect?
goodnight.
each wake i savor the seconds of pure me,
when i am nothing and only myself!
then i hear it all.
mouths around me yelling, screaming, crying, laughing.
they are hungry. ravenous. ...

Sovereign Achievement
A problem was deceiving all.
Canonical, materials.
Denominal, criteria.
Impossible, obsequious.
To honor the appearance of.
Inaugural, imperious.
Phenomenal, imperial.
Demonstrable, empirical.
What sovereign achievement brought.
Performable, anterior.
Reformable, ulterior.
Unstoppable, superior.
Distorted once it equals us.
Methodical, exterior.
Inaudible, mysterious.
Unsolvable, interior.
Our common trust repeats as wants.
Remarkable, inebriant.
Rhetorical, inferior. ...

Hard Falling Rain
All my addictions
wrapped up inside my brain
you want to take a run at this disaster
you'll only have yourself to blame
the door it's locked
the windows wide open
that closet is full of pain
take it to heart
run for your life
it's a hard falling rain
where the firmament takes me
far, far away
all my dreams can be your nightmares
no different they are all the same
won't you drown with me ...

fire and ghosts
the fire
lit up
ghosts,
they glided
around
the black
sands
of death,
exiled
from home,
dancers
trespass
through
these dreams.

The exhaustion of an eye
You were given eyes to see
but they do not penetrate
this is why ignorance,
anger, hatred, violence
and aggression exist
in our lives today
these are conditions
of human suffering
and we are unable
to see these conditions
in ourselves and others,
as you open
your eyes you
will start to see
other souls
suffering all
around you
including
yourself.

The Celebration Of Femineity
I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.
Harriet Tubman
I am a little late; however, the celebration continues for the creation of us women given unto man as a gift from the Almighty Creator.
In the midst of my femininity, I had my Annual gynecological with fasting lab, I had a dental cleaning, no cavities, my gums are still healthy and not receding.
What is meant when you say Woman’s International Day...
