Tell me a poem

Fruits of beauty
I am the little red...

TYPE OF FINAL DECREE

I imagined my death. Like when they gave thirty silver coins to the handsome, smiling Executioner, who wrapped the noose and rope around my neck and hung it on the gallows, and then kindly even nodded, but he only made a unanimous decision. Like the...

Innocence

Innocent they say,
Is what I’m meant to be.
The grass is green and the skies are blue,
All that you tell me, I accept is true…
If it’s otherwise, I don’t have a clue!

Innocence they say,
In me, they promise to protect.
The gates to the...

ÈJÍWÙNMÍ

ÈJÍWÙNMÍ

Èjíwùnmí [1] is not her name,
But Èjíwùnmí her name became.
An eulogy to the beauty that her gap teeth gave,
Which made her stand out as everyone’s fave.

Mesmerised I was, when she flashed me a smile.
To get a glimpse of her, I...

No Joke

The joke is on us
by the powers that be

No love no admission
wiped judicially clean

Swept under the rug
with a whisper machine

Headlines while gleaming
hiding lines...

Why do you look the other way?

Why do you look the other way?

Why do you look at me with your eyes closed? Don't you want to see my soul? I'm different from you in so many ways, but you still take the time to judge me anyway. Every cloud that floats by is different in its own...

And Still The Sun Will Rise

Life will have days that you will wish to revise
Things said or done will fill you with compromise
Decisions over which you will agonize
And still, the sun will rise

At times others will seek to antagonize
Nights filled with anger shall...

Calling Me Home (Day 7) unedited

Day #7: Vernal to Cortez

The next morning, I was on Rt #40 and headed from Vernal Utah to Dinosaur Colorado. I wished that I had had the time to go into the dinosaur museum again. When I was last there, over fifteen years ago, they had a...

Quiet the silence

Silence the quiet, peace undisturbed, watching
the drops of the rain.

How to describe it, there are no words, choices
I cannot explain.

Our course found on river's, we take heaven by
force, angel's we may need to fight.

Bless all the...

Praise King

O sing to the Lord a new song,
For He has done marvelous things;
His holy hand and arm are strong,
For the creation that He brings.

The Lord makes known His salvation,
He has revealed His righteousness;
That firms up a new foundation,

Spider Monsters

Monsters running around in the City Streets
Ragina and Athens will not leave the
monster peoples alone
They are over power us, it will soon be a take over
explosives
Ragina keep talking to them and flagging them down
and getting their names

The Inevitable Shown

The inevitable shown.
With evidence revealed.
For many years to make known.
A normalcy unraveling,
Needs not to have a psychologist...
Or a scientist to condone.

Repeatedly is the proof produced.
Effectively applied to deny.
The pieces of...

Prisms Glow

Two fours triangulate singing chords
In a four-bar descending chorus
Circles square baselines moment
Riveting cascade pianos bowing

Four degrees to the left-hand wobble
Triangles bending in a still times capture
Circles refraction in...
