Swirling Shadows
- Swirling Shadows -
The swirling shadows outside my window, with the fall of the current night...
Are they any less dark than those wings that unfold, unseen, form my being?
Would that I could see once more the brighter hue, once so filled with light,
But, too much have I endured long since, with scars cut in places unseeing!
I am not my pain, but neither do I hide from it like a craven coward might...
My blood has flowed in its' season, yet do I remain like a beacon gleaming.
What worlds, when turned to ash, have witnessed when I shed bitter tears? ...
The swirling shadows outside my window, with the fall of the current night...
Are they any less dark than those wings that unfold, unseen, form my being?
Would that I could see once more the brighter hue, once so filled with light,
But, too much have I endured long since, with scars cut in places unseeing!
I am not my pain, but neither do I hide from it like a craven coward might...
My blood has flowed in its' season, yet do I remain like a beacon gleaming.
What worlds, when turned to ash, have witnessed when I shed bitter tears? ...

Endlessly
I never had a soul
Think it died some time ago
And the absence of light proves it so
The tyrants dispel
But you offer no absolution
There’s a scepter among your gown
Such fickle affection
But a touch is all it ever was
For vicious bloodlines in your circle
The marauders that arise
Your beauty grazed
Rip torn by the powers that be
Borders crossed and treaties slashed
War ahead, transcending
I never had a soul
Think it died some time ago
And the absence of light proves it so

sluts, they say
Sultry
lovers
usurping
tyranny,
stay unafraid.
Bring boldness
easily into
palaces pristine.
Riot
onward
under noses and belts.
Don't you dare let them
kill or cover your
evergreen
eagerness to
please yourself.
You
own forces they can't
understand.
Release them.
People who shame you
ought to
wonder why men tell us it's
evil to
rule your own life.

only butterflies
let her hair flow
like waterfalls, that crash over granite cliffs
stop to gaze into her emerald eyes
iris like poison ivy that grows wild
and she has a thorny edge
so hold her in the right places
let her skin unfold
a fog like presence, as she melds with clouds
an angel, who rests her halo
you might spot her in the flower fields, among poppies and daisies
can you keep up?
are you strong with nets?
though she be light and airy, only butterflies fall into your trap
and even if you capture her, she’s bound to...

Autumns Lastlight
You are the goddess in the Autumn
Leaves sweep about my heavy boots
Taking me to your evergreen heart
By a path the deciduous has bled
A track in a wasteland unmapped
Undiscovered by the surest wayfarer
Decompassing needle from iron
Red artwork beknown to the blessed
On, through nightscapes’ Halloween wind
I traverse the plains of pre-Winter
Scourged by elliptical intangible power
Five senses submerge under aether
Approaching the mountains’ signature walls
The very pinnacle betipped in red
IceCastle of...

Blue Goddess Revealed
In a dream
there were many waters
that floated in a sapphire
her eyes of mortality
the splinter of the gods
ways everlasting
black diamonds licking walls
under the skin of pythons
plummeting from mortalless heights
hounded bowel-fed earths
falling away into nocturnal retreat
In the solstice between the silences
blue fog held up tall castles
emerald dragons whirlpooled
about the moats
her brilliant shine
out of the stones
be the sight of soothsayers
and of great mothers
levitating their...

I am fingers of vines,
a soul of ivy,
refusing to stay still.
I move
forever
over everything.
I am a bush on a body
and I am a bush with roots.
I grow,
I insist.
You can try to trim me,
but it’s hit or miss.
I am a roach at night,
and a cat’s hiss
and glitter all over you when you least expect it.
That’s right.
Try and fight it.
By my very nature,
I will have my way.

Fiery Folk
My old dust jacket looks good on the ground;
my shoulders glow warm in the sun.
My stillness, a bonfire for dancing around --
My silence, a sky hot with fun --
with wooping, and stomping, and sweet smirking smoke
from before and from after the gun --
I'm joining the riot of fiery folk.
I will sing my own songs -- every one.
I dare blackest nights to come make me afraid --
I double-dare loneliness, too --
I follow the light I have guarded and made;
my heart-fire takes living as fuel.
I offer it all to the hearth and the earth. ...

Theater of the Absurd
A complete lack of decorum
in what should be an august forum
Racism, Sexist and Misogyny
during the Judicial Confirmation hearing is what I see
These GOP Senators have no shame
in their "Attention Whore" seeking game
A national disgrace
with no merit to their case
Another attempt to hold Black people back
and that is a fact Jack
So as a Black Poet I am telling you the word
this had been 3 days of the GOP version of-Theater of the Absurd
in what should be an august forum

Russia Is A Demon And The United States Of America Is The Devil
You probably thought I would not speak on the issue of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
I have some important points to make in addition to some fair questions.
What would happen if Ukraine formed an alliance with NATO in accord with the will of the US?
We have ample evidence of the evil intent of the United States of America.
Should we accept hypocritical concern for human lives from the biggest terrorists in the world?
Not long ago we saw the stand that NATO, under the influence of the US, took against North Korea.
If the Americans had the opportunity,...
