Home is where I want to be
The night came on all dismal and profound
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling around
I needed to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be
the sea acting ever so violent
by the rapid wind howling around
I needed to vanish, to flee
Higher and higher the seas did surge
gale winds louder and louder
vessel consuming water, partly submerged
with torn and shivering sails
Up ahead bleak hills and barren sands
lighthouse flashing so bright
grateful our vessel spotted land
home is where I want to be

I see you all clear now see me
with recognition I remember you brothers
of Heaven before we lay eyes on Her
there is a dark woman who claims he encountered her not created her
she was seduced and drew Her portrait
then chained her
after learning her magics
he did dominate her using Adam to humiliate Her
He wanted a show in other words
her children with him rejected
because they were born of his darkness and rape
in terror she released them to Lu to care for
he would not give her peace they found heaven in hell
and Lu taught them self love

Outside
the rain beats a keyboard
of leaves, mingles as music
with summer dust and drought—
clears a corridor, preparing
for the Autumnal Equinox
When a storm passes
as it always does, we who remain
carry on, pick up the fallen
flotsam and jetsom of debri—
in whatever form
the whirlwind left behind
Everything is fresh, clean—
largely green amid change;
and, ready to carry on
with whatever Life brings
because, Poetry

Vulnerability and Hellfire
Sometimes
Your give me your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you
Your give me your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you

blown away
the sun lost his dominance
as thick clouds bullied him into shadow
turning afternoon to complete darkness
no thunder...no lightning...no rain
only the gods breath in full fury
& things meant to stand tall & proud became horizontal
abasing themselves in the face of it
fallen trees & sundered limbs covered the streets
those caught unaware
{among them...my daughter...}
forced to dodge flying debris
we had no warning
& with one loud boom...power gave out
my tiny basement with its crowding...
as thick clouds bullied him into shadow
turning afternoon to complete darkness
no thunder...no lightning...no rain
only the gods breath in full fury
& things meant to stand tall & proud became horizontal
abasing themselves in the face of it
fallen trees & sundered limbs covered the streets
those caught unaware
{among them...my daughter...}
forced to dodge flying debris
we had no warning
& with one loud boom...power gave out
my tiny basement with its crowding...

Kill the Pain
surrendered to
the elements
earth below
storms above
i lay, i pray
kill the pain
reign over me
rain through me
cleanse this body
heal my bones
cold as stone
kill the pain
clouds release
soul breaks free
surrendered to
the elements
i embrace the
purging power of
the cold october rain
the elements
earth below
storms above
i lay, i pray
kill the pain
reign over me
rain through me
cleanse this body
heal my bones
cold as stone
kill the pain
clouds release
soul breaks free
surrendered to
the elements
i embrace the
purging power of
the cold october rain

MY FAVORITE RAINBOW COLOR
As the storm rages
and the billows roar
and the wind sings
its own songs;
as promised the storm
passes, the sky starts
to clear, the birds begin
to sing and harvest their meal;
and there, as promised,
is the rainbow with its
amazing hues: yellow, green,
crimson, and blue all perfectly
painted by the hands of nature;
as the sun shines behind the
rare work of art, I am fascinated
by my favorite color, blue...why?
I'll tell you why after the next storm.
and the billows roar
and the wind sings
its own songs;
as promised the storm
passes, the sky starts
to clear, the birds begin
to sing and harvest their meal;
and there, as promised,
is the rainbow with its
amazing hues: yellow, green,
crimson, and blue all perfectly
painted by the hands of nature;
as the sun shines behind the
rare work of art, I am fascinated
by my favorite color, blue...why?

REMEMBERING THE RAIN FALLS
As i sit here and watch the rain fall silently from the sky as my mind wonders with the sound as it beats upon the ground, bringing music to my soul filling it with tranquilness of peaceful thoughts to my soul and mind.

Disco Ball
Finally, the clouds began to unfold
as the storm tried to blow itself apart
to frame a post-zenith gibbous of gold
which lit the aurum of my midnight heart
as the wind chimes japed out a lively tune
as warm and fresh and full of tropic life
as the vernal glory oft blown in June
or fingered through an independence fife.
But then, just as quickly as revealed,
the blasting billows would as quick return
like some prohibition fast repealed
to throw some moonbeam medleys in the churn
as if chimes and beams were the discotheque ...

retribution
these storms
held back
by
the sun,
wanting
nothing more
than
to give
all of its
retribution,
where
nothing
is safe,
where
nothing
is pure,
taking the
comfort away
from
the masses,
and replace
it all
with fear.

~the shadow bird
the sudden storming in silhouetty tauktae bird
spreads shadowy high. ..an umbrellaing heavy
eclipsing fallen span of an enshrouding silence..
casts now, the corroding universal erode mode
-a thorough nonstop soulsap~ squeegeeing in
inhumane landfall famine, of the mirage hearts...
fuming off... until all the sparse stuck
remnantal lil dome dotting droplets.. of
warm wet~blotty habitat hut spots...
& the blinding mirrorsuns hung within..
in pure concentrate calendar springs
of the Himalayan...
spreads shadowy high. ..an umbrellaing heavy
eclipsing fallen span of an enshrouding silence..
casts now, the corroding universal erode mode
-a thorough nonstop soulsap~ squeegeeing in
