One More Rhyme
One more rhyme before I go
Toss a dime, watch me show
Line after line, beats on time
Word after word, so sublime
One for the road, I portray
Lock n' load, fly, convey
I see that look, on your face
Holy fuck! Watch this space
Never forget, my ink spills true
The verse has set... This one's for you
Toss a dime, watch me show
Line after line, beats on time
Word after word, so sublime
One for the road, I portray
Lock n' load, fly, convey
I see that look, on your face
Holy fuck! Watch this space
Never forget, my ink spills true
The verse has set... This one's for you

Autistic Genius
Autistic Genius
He’s A Genius not against you and me
He’s a Genius I can’t touch with a thought
He’s a Genius solving human problems
He’s a Genius no one saw
He’s the Genius that lives in all of us
He’s the Genius being bullied upon
He’s a Genius different autistic superhero
Guess somewhere late at night think about
Before we lay down to bed and dream asleep
He’s the genius of you and me
Autistic and proud as shit
Sensitive brain wired a little different ...
He’s A Genius not against you and me
He’s a Genius I can’t touch with a thought
He’s a Genius solving human problems
He’s a Genius no one saw
He’s the Genius that lives in all of us
He’s the Genius being bullied upon
He’s a Genius different autistic superhero
Guess somewhere late at night think about
Before we lay down to bed and dream asleep
He’s the genius of you and me
Autistic and proud as shit
Sensitive brain wired a little different ...

These Scars Wont Define Us
Heartfelt, this goes out to all the poets here
those that for whatever the reason
have chosen to share their scars
I appreciate you all
Together WE shall cross this river
those that for whatever the reason
have chosen to share their scars
I appreciate you all
Together WE shall cross this river

Happy Holidays !!!
It's even on the shortest day
that we might see some sun
confirming with a lazy ray
another orbit done.
But that is when the season starts
where things get really tough,
especially for lonely hearts
when love is off the cuff...
and so to decor we resort
with beaux-arts and some cheer
to see unhappiness abort
before the newest year!
We fill the dying days of old
with brand new love and light
so no lone psyche gets too cold...
on an extended night:)
that we might see some sun
confirming with a lazy ray
another orbit done.
But that is when the season starts
where things get really tough,
especially for lonely hearts
when love is off the cuff...
and so to decor we resort

before the newest year!
We fill the dying days of old
with brand new love and light

Blissfully Relaxed,
Blissfully relaxed,
From materialistic delight, detached
I left my skin down to the carnal mortality
clothed my soul in transcendental eternity
Mountains and forests, skies and seasons
Shepherds and pastoral eclogues;, my glossary
If to flesh satisfaction called on
I am Naturally calibrated, not addicted
Each and every container is to be filled
With the appropriate fair value, not abused
And so, i feel
Heavenly untroubled,
Earthly fulfilled
Spiritually healed ...

Don't Walk Back
Don't walk back
Walk forward
If you have to look back
Remember the mountains
Forget the sickly swamp
To spend your nights
Sifting through ash
Searching for answers
Questions of the past
With no end
Until daylight breaks us
From the questioning night
Wake and
Walk forward
Walk forward
If you have to look back
Remember the mountains
Forget the sickly swamp
To spend your nights
Sifting through ash
Searching for answers
Questions of the past
With no end
Until daylight breaks us
From the questioning night
Wake and
Walk forward

Curl, Heave, and I’ves Plum Puddin’ Disaster
Sung to ‘Have a Holly Jolly Christmas’ by Burle Ives
Have a hardly jolly Christmas
It's the wurst time of the year
When you’re old and sore
Drip cough and snore
Half a craps your fear
Ho Ho
You want to go
Butt ooh can hardly pee
Presents waiting there for you
Underneath the T
Have a hardly jelly Christmas
It's the waist time of the year
Yule want to go
Butt U cant snow
Your best is half a smear
Oh Oh
The missing po
Hung where you can't see
Some body dangles there for you ...
Have a hardly jolly Christmas
It's the wurst time of the year
When you’re old and sore
Drip cough and snore
Half a craps your fear
Ho Ho
You want to go
Butt ooh can hardly pee

Underneath the T
Have a hardly jelly Christmas
It's the waist time of the year
Yule want to go
Butt U cant snow
Your best is half a smear
Oh Oh
The missing po
Hung where you can't see
Some body dangles there for you ...

My night garden
Stocktaking,
after sweeping up the debris of the day
events bandaged where sandman’s dust rests
in the short eternity, till morning
fermenting fruits, a plantation where the vines
produce a nectar stolen from Gods
dark ground where the subconscious rests
its roots releasing the trauma of the day
grey clouds rolling down the slopes
snores that cannot be ignored
resolution, of grief
cutting winds and stony ground
the compound interest
of loss as days progress
the scents, of brushed rosemary and thyme
distilled as...

The Owl perched on the Giraffe's head.
The owl, silent and wise,
observes the world with attentive eyes.
Its soft feathers
its serene flight soothes the soul.
The giraffe is tall and very majestic.
The owl brings with it the charm of the night,
flying without making a sound,
teaching patience and the art of observation.
Its presence inspires reflection and serenity.
Is a silent keeper of the secrets of the night,
a companion who shares the wisdom
of the stars and the mystery of the shadows.
The giraffe, on the other hand,
offers an elevated...

its serene flight soothes the soul.

The Gift Of Muse And The Grace To Inspire
If I have to poetry see and define
My words would shrink and stop to ink
My thoughts would be unable to align
And in confusion I would rather sink..
Visions in words would learn how to speak
Words marvellously moulded by a wordsmith
Far reaching charm a poet would constantly seek
Unique gems adeptly crafted by a goldsmith..
It’s the power to paint and portray
Compose a tune.. an ambient so rare
An art gallery, a rich tapestry to display
Masters of words of sublime flair..
Much more.. the magic of poetry ...
My words would shrink and stop to ink

Lustful abandon

A voice in my head
saying
ignore what you think may please...

Up And At ’Em
Up and at ‘em…When I just wanna sleep
As luck would have it, I can only fathom having this peace…
Some imagined reprieve, that I could handle with ease, to turn the war and win the battle in me…
Dear Lord,
I plead for more…From the ground floor to soar
High from a balcony, where ancient alchemy’s released
Confounding winds with a baffling breeze
I dabble in these
Within my rabble-rousing skin
My spirit calls for action and the grappling begins…
Through the lens of these esoteric factions
Lives the fractious…Not enamored...
