Dark Earth Folds In The Heart's Red Bloom
You and I and all we do
Know not, til our hearts are through
The press of life, what things we be
Root or leaves or shade of tree.
You and I and all we seem
May be but as a drift of dream
In the eyes of One who gave
Self to love and love to save,-
Yea, all the deeds that men have wrought
Mere flower of dream, flame of thought,
Break of waves on a drear shore,
Scent of the wild rose on the moor.
Yet we have seen, and hold it sure,
That out of shame come forth the pure;
Dark earth folds in the heart's red bloom;
In vain, we build the soul a tomb.

Void of you
My life is like a wind
Drifting to nowhere
Tossed and turned
By the ragging nature
Your kisses hunted me down
Capsizing and ceaselessly
Plowing my innermost
Drilling my manliness
Void of you,
My life is separated by miles of realities
Stay with me, my dreamer

poetry, poets,
The poet and the lonely road, betwixt his netherworld abode,
in canyons deep, and in seldom trodden creeps,
Always secrets, secrets....
too kept ----
he has made his humble abode, in the dark alone,
he sleeps ----
with vipers and white (sepulchre) tombs
(alone)
He does not see the meadow, and daisies,
(rising sun)
nor words of wisdom on his tongue;
fall away, to dark netherworld abodes....
Poet be he not, 'til fellowship and gratitude
be his home, and grace in word be his love;
of good cheer to all concerned and more ----
should even shadow knocketh,
of this he writes

love, romance,
She of sweet kisses and lavender hues,
with wild loving eyes,
to melt in each orb of fire,
and dream too long....
Disguised to resist such wild love;
untamed as a wild stallion ---
she illumed this little darkling....
with her little light of love,
vast as the hope in her heavenly heart
That I dream her little dream,
and dance to the wanton moon in her eyes;
where the heavens alight a darkest night,
where my heart swoons in sweeter meadows,
I hold her as mine;
for all time, we are One,
in this red-wedded night,
unforgotten,
(She of sweet kisses)

When you keep silence yourslef,
I try to read your eyes,
When you keep smiling yourself.
I try to feel your nerves.
When you keep staring at me,
I feel shy at that time,
When you get angry with me.
I feel you love me a lot all the time.
When you shed tears,
I feel very shocked,
When you don't make me nervous,
I feel you are only one who make me proud.

love
love comes around once in a while
unlocks the door with its winning smile
it takes every breath, wounds with its scars
whispers to your soul as it plays with your heart
the lessons you learn, what answers remain
each time a beginning as you try it again

Bring me a moon lit night,
I will shower,
Bring me a wonderful sight,
I will go nowhere.
Bring me a lovely smile,
I will listen,
Bring me a soft touch,
I will not ever be forgotten.
Bring me a secured lap,
I will sleep,
Bring me a caring heart,
I will not keep any gap.
Bring me a lady,
I will love,
Bring me a melody,
I will standstill, won't move.

cute love, dedication, devotion, fantasy, for him,
She walks without making any sound at night
She is afraid of someone is watching her
How she could go there escaping his sight?
Her heart bit is getting louder.
Everything is sleeping except them,
Someone is waiting out there,
She has to meet him
A wild owl is watching her,
Nothing can stop her walking,
Something making her mind stronger;
It's nothing but pleasures of meeting-
For her love she can go fur and further.

That all untold words inside me
Are roaring today for you
Where are you my love ?
My all senses are in the search of you...
The way on we walked together
Are in the thirst of the footsteps of you
Where are you my love ?
The whole soul inside me
Is in the search of you...
My each morning of the day
is only asking about you
Where are you my love ?
My life has become drought
Even in the season of rain
Without you...

Oh what a mistake I have made,
Traveled so far to end up this way.
Not in a million years would I have guessed,
That this idea was truly not one of my best.
Never had known things had changed so much,
We for sure had fallen so far out of touch.
So many different do's , don't , and bewares,
Actually has left me absolutely scared.
What a fool I was to ever believe,
That she would ever be in love with me.
At my age you would think I know better,
You can trust this will be remembered forever.
Oh what a terrible mistake I have made,
Wanting all these memories to just fade away.

Your always in my heart & head,
I still can't believe ur dead. We may
be miles & miles apart
but I feel ur still close because I keep you
always in my heart,
Death was the only thing that could ever
keep us apart.

I do not cry when doves fly
Whenever it rains
My tears are no longer flowing.
I ask God why
We betrayed Your confidence in this paradise You gave to us
Do you still love us?
Money and power are used to control others
The cross of Jesus on top of the church tower
There is no confidence in their religion.
Like a thief, They lay in wait.
As I look up at the morning sky,
The Butterfly is stunning
I am no longer perplexed as to why Your Love and Wisdom are my guiding Light.

Here in the dark I will not stay
Better days are ahead
And will come my way
I will rescue a few while I am here
Together we are strong
An will push one another along
An no longer live in fear
I will look back a shed many a tear
For a love I thought we had and held dear.......

new year,
it has passed time I mean
the mere panting chanting
of love songs why healing
has occurred after meaningless
processing emotions in a bottle
awaiting a more fitting time
to explore the clocks again
the hour glass the pocket watch
the mere coo coo clock chims
over city hall the ball dropped
the rocket exploded in mid air
explaining gravity through
painstaking memories left
dangling on a light string
revealing the ticking heart
counting down life's long
energies of love laughter fear
face to face with a shiny new year

Aduke
Beat the sky to coma
With the string of your heartbeat
I will wait for the striving thunder
Then seize the light from coming
Aduke
Smile back at the rain
Your love has developed wings
To dance to jerusalem
Howbeit we've come to the end of the road
When I needed you more.
Aduke
Dance for my feasting eyes
My soul seek to have you within
My red blood cell to regenerate
The motionless fibre within
Aduke
Sound the drums louder
My legs want some rythms
From an immortal heart of
A yoruba maiden in joy

courage,
a thing called courage
it will only open a new page
if i did not cross the oceans
i would have been left alone
i would have been lost
and i wouldn't have seen
what lies beyond the oceans
the road to heaven
is paid with righteousness
for i was lost in the wildness
a thing called courage
that which unleashes you from the cage
the body is just a vehicle
transporting the soul
for there was nobody to love
nobody to console
nobody to talk to
wondering what to do
a thing called courage
it will only open a new page

discrimination, racism,
You have your roots forgotten
Your perception's now rotten
Noticing oh so sudden
That brother's a great burden
No love for brother or sis
With contempt at them you hiss
And the sharpest point you miss
That racism can't bring bliss
People can be blue, black, white
I can name colours all night
But do remember alright
Only yourself you do fight
Because we all are on par
And you're left behind so far
Still your scars with spite you mar
Frowning at those black as tar
With the same hands, all God made
Watch as you do colours grade
Without love, away you'll fade
For we belong under one shade

The poem as novel
Small grapes of the morning like poetry,
cold water pulsing deep in the well,
a bag of bright nails in the yard,
the smell of cut wood wet in the sun,
the mild bite of pain put on everything
and everything still to be done
-- when love's first sting buckles them to the ground.
The long melons of the afternoon like prose
and by the poolside the gin drinks and the sun,
the new car bright
as a jelly bean on the lawn,
a glaze of clean order put on everything
yet everything looking to be done
--when love has rubbed them smooth as a stone.

They offer you their hand -
they offer you their love -
and caring.
They have seen your words -
and heard your music -
they want to show you the world -
in beauty and in cruel -
cause they care of you.
Trust in them -
and they tell you all -
of the beauty of us -
and of the world.

Mockingbird
I will be your shelter;
Amidst the storms in life.
I will be a light;
Within the darkest nights.
I will be a rock;
For you to make your stand.
I will be your comfort;
And calm your shaking hand.
I will be your hope;
In your times of great despair.
I will be your confidant;
When others are unfair.
I will be your trust;
When another breaks their word.
I will be your wings;
If you are my mockingbird.

birth, child, children, faith, family, grandchild, grandparents, grandson, growing up, heart, i love you, life, wisdom,
Whether this is your first or second child
your life changes for more than a while
The happiness of the first was beyond measure
the second adds to this with more to treasure.
You walked hand and hand with your first
your second child is also going to thirst.
One will have a new life as a big brother
almost as important as dad and mother.
Before you know the time will come
they will be sharing each other's gum
We are so excited that you have two boys
I bet you can wait until they fight over toys

satire,
You say that you love rain.
But when it starts raining, you raise
your umbrella over your head.
You say you love the Sun.
But when it spreads its rays, you start
looking for shade.
You say that you love storm.
But when it starts blowing, closing doors and
windows, you alone get seated.
You say that you love man.
But when a poor man comes at your door in danger,
in anger and in scorn your face turns red.
You say you love revolution.
But when revolution knocks at your door,
you fall asleep fast on your bed.
O my Love, in that way
do you say to me 'I love you' each day?
