Injustices of being a lizard (collaboration with AfterSexDilemma)
Their cold blooded,
In need of heavy thick air
Something in their conscious now
To summon them, I would not dare!
Serpents tongues and leathery skin
Reflections of fearful eyes
Don't come to close,
Possession begins,
When they hypnotize!
Camouflaged in the night.
Absorbing sunlight.
The heat of a solar flare.
Dogging the cows,
Their blood boiling now.
Chasing the innocent hare.
The eyes of insight.
Intelligence and know how,
The bonding begins.
Emotions planted and plowed.
Inside...
In need of heavy thick air
Something in their conscious now
To summon them, I would not dare!
Serpents tongues and leathery skin
Reflections of fearful eyes
Don't come to close,
Possession begins,
When they hypnotize!
Camouflaged in the night.
Absorbing sunlight.
The heat of a solar flare.
Dogging the cows,
Their blood boiling now.
Chasing the innocent hare.
The eyes of insight.
Intelligence and know how,
The bonding begins.
Emotions planted and plowed.

spiderweb
the hurt in your windowed soul revealed so much
I grieved over the pained, sutured guilt you held
stitched with spiderwebs of days gone by
I held you tight to my brokenness and we cried together
in the dawn's brittle, cold, and empty light
the sun failed to shine on you these past years
it cast a shadow that held no warmth
you relived the trauma of a single day like it was today
haunted by midnights...
you play out the scene frame by frame
on a mission, you fight the good fight
smiling at hollow peoples who just...

ONE SHOT STARTS IT OFF
It is here I am reminded of how precious life really is worth, as I have a few seconds of your time as I exchange my thoughts. And feelings of my anger and frustration, that eats away at my very heart and soul. As with an emotional connection between my body and mind, as it been going on way to long day and night of life. For example how much hurt and pain, that we must suffer as we sometimes see ourselves. From the darkness and tears of death creeping into our lives. As we are reminded of the moments, when we have to rebuild our lives just because someone else, decided to take another life....

In this hearth
shards open beyond eyes
filled with eulogies
fierce flames
euphoria glancing
from our skeleton
we are the kernels
flute bones
where love answered
all questions
mother in your ebony hair
we played hide and seek
climbing through light
as frequencies
mausoleums
fingerpainted wallpaper
a rustic lost door hinge hanging
this is the room
now we finally
may step inside

Queen B I bow unto the world for all to see
French Haitian Creole bloodlines defines royalty created within me
Sitting upon the throne of my wondrous melanin gifts
Kisses you dare to dream upon as you serenade the softness of my scarlet painted lips
Beguiling, as you glance upon the sashay of my curvaceous hips
Ancient rites, I seductively dance for you to commence the night
My soft orb touches, the ecstasy of my scepter, intoxicating asked in the veil of midnight
Sweeten honey drips from the sacredness of my alluring crown ...

The Definition of Love
Are you at peace?”
It’s not far-fetched of you to ask me
in your prayers each night
and thoughts each day
The much-known concept of lives
swallowed by the living each year
Firstly, when we are physically birthed
and slapped into breath;
secondly, when we wake to purpose
and life slaps us into a vessel
for something greater than ourselves
The lesser-known concept
of two deaths is fully understood
on this side of the veil

Echoes Of Sacrifice
when those brave heroes
bore arms for king and country
innocence was lost
the mustard gas crept
the grim reaper was there ~ to
collect the dead souls
seeping blood in mud
fertilising poppy weed
for rememberence
stark horrors of war
was the putrid remains ~ of
trusted brotherhood
true peace in our time
a fleeting concept ~ never
forget the fallen
honour in silence
with reverence the fallen
for they sacrificed
whispers of the past

Sonnets...
So my thoughts have a final resting place
And poems are the common crypt
Where remnant psyche has some space
To linger after souls have dripped
Onto the compendium of time
Cased inside the hardcover safe
Of measured syllable and rhyme,
For coherency is as a waif
Still searching for a stable home
Much like a wayward angel flight
Lost over heaven's aerodrome,
Communing with the muse one night,
All on behalf of a mortal man
Just hoping for his verse to scan.
And poems are the common crypt

Much like a wayward angel flight
Lost over heaven's aerodrome,
Communing with the muse one night,
All on behalf of a mortal man
Just hoping for his verse to scan.

Nova Scotia strong
There’s a slowness in my body,
heaviness in my heart.
The world goes on around me
as I’m sitting here, apart.
It’s not exactly sadness,
though tears do often come;
just lacking motivation,
feeling unfocused and numb.
Tomorrow we’ll remember
tragedy so hard to bear;
I didn’t really know those lost,
but grief hangs in the air.
We’ve held each other through so much -
there’s nothing we can’t weather.
What makes us “Nova Scotia strong”
is tears and songs – together.
heaviness in my heart.

Sixes and Sevens
This was the year they should have been walking across stage
Caps and gowns with smiles and cheers all around
This was supposed to be the year they were going to graduate
Instead
We still reel over what happened on that dreadful day
This was the summer they were supposed to spread their wings
Off to adventures, like falling in love or going away on vacation
Some would have been heading to college for higher education
Instead
We’re left wondering with what could have been
No parent should ever have to bury a child ...
