There are no elaborate or noteworthy details to brag about, in a very simple phrase, “ You will see a reflection of yourself in me” even if it is just a minuscule bit of your existence....

Gypsy

roun’ the fire, danced slowly, to rythm and beats, enticingly , smoothly , the toes moving as a serpent, slick and suave, as ambers of fire cast shadows, flexing the arms, swirling, in a rage she moves, bewitching, captivating, glistening skin, dancing the night away into oblivion..

End

O’ ye adamite, behold! do not rejoice your delay, as it shall not last, bow your head, unto thy creator, for there is an end, to the sun , to the moon, to this delusive world, and to you, naked shall the soul be then, an attire of mud and clay cast off, to return, […]

Lullaby

So long o’ moon , Adieu o’ my knight, Kiss me farewell , My beau ideal, Soft and silky against my arms, Holding your scent, Lingers and haunts my dreams, Oasis for my thirst , Slow caress, Sighs, Dancing shadows, Tender heart beats, Secrets hidden in thy sly smiles, Painful as it is , But […]

Lost Voices

I lack the power, To reach inside and blind out the knavery, A sense of betrayal and faithlessness, A perfidy to this sacred engagement, With myself and my numb soul, To furnished lies and mockery, Of twisted accuracy, I am but an infidel, Witness to fickle laison with life, Mirror to misty reflections, feeble echoes […]

Orb

Set free, Abandon them, Those crystal balls, Part with the ambers of rage, Bright roses of innocence, Turquoise waters, Opal dew, Let go, Grayness of a cloud, Holiness of green, Revolution in red, Innovation in blue, Hold it inside, Conceal the silence, A cherished desire, Drift into a peaceful slumber, Of dusky bleakness, Of raw […]

Rise

O ye deluded masses, rise! Be not the dull race, For thy lord is waiting for thee victory, Open ye arms to the golden sun, Harvest your strength against storms, rains of gloom and thunders of tyranny, Spread the warmth & trust, Justice and freedom, Learn to hope, Learn to dream, Ignite the spark that […]

Time well spent..

Moods can be strange , my cat growled differently at me, my pigeons seem louder than usual , the dog has been howling in a perfect rythm , the dripping tap doesn’t seem that irritating, ticking clock and my cell shrieks the usual ring tone ” you’re my honey bunch ….sugar plum etc etc ” […]

For Return He Must…

The leather boots, stamped and marched, those weary eyes searched, when all left, waiting on an empty station, with frail legs and wrinkled hands, sat there, a mother, maybe the next one, maybe tomorrow, as the train whistled away, he’s a valiant, he’s a warrior, I cannot lose hope, in pride I must live, O!

Pebbles

Share

Pebbles black , grey , brown, held tightly in the palms, as some of them fall loose, tiny palms moist with holding them, pockets full of seashells, and broken glass worn by the tides that hit it for years, with feet free to roam around, raced kids on the shore, “I win , I win […]
