D.A.R.K. P.A.S.S.E.N.G.E.R
D.own and deep in
A.t the bottom of a dissociative soul
R.ests the one I love and rests the one I hate the most
K.eeping me away from evil, hiding me away from me
P.rying from a good, safe distance
A.lmost like I'm there to be
S.ilent whisper that inhabits
S.elling peace for bloody bills
E.very time I’m week and tired, he’s got strength for us to be
N.ever stray or break, nor startle, only if I pay the fee
G.ranting him my self esteem to feed on
E.mty, sweet tranquillity, in a solitaire and hollow silence
R.ight until again he hisses ‘come on back and comfort me’
A.t the bottom of a dissociative soul
R.ests the one I love and rests the one I hate the most
K.eeping me away from evil, hiding me away from me
P.rying from a good, safe distance
A.lmost like I'm there to be
S.ilent whisper that inhabits
S.elling peace for bloody bills
E.very time I’m week and tired, he’s got strength for us to be
N.ever stray or break, nor startle, only if I pay the fee
G.ranting him my self esteem to feed on
E.mty, sweet tranquillity, in a solitaire and hollow silence

Post CommentInspired Meditation to Change the World
Intelligent observation with the dubious nerve to print the word
Negotiating the intricate conditions with clearly stated terms
Systematically laid out to all peoples, so our words might be heard
Perfectly imperfect, as the human race innately knows how to do
Idealistic without fervor of the extreme zealot of the few
Remembering our histories when we let tyranny continue
Education without stealing inalienable human rights
Demarcation of expectations continually executed in the light
Mediocrity ceased without ordering an unwarranted fight
Excellence in keeping the code sacred that no one will be above
Delicately written in all tongues as perfect trust and perfect love
Idioms of our entire species considered simply because
Together we unconditionally forgive and care for each other
Animated in essence as we share this planet, our great Earth Mother
Temperance in the true definition, softening our angry demeanor
Intrepid to explore the future without the acidity in our heart
Obviate worst expectations as each of us can and will do our part
Natant as we float on the pure energy of the divine to end and start
Thoughts evolving kinetic as they once were, no lies can be told
Oscillating between our differences as greatness unfolds
Sedulous in our goals with the end in mind for us to behold
Anticipation to deeds for the right and good of all
Visionary and efficient not repeating the fall
Exorcising the need for greed listening to the call
Training our minds to work miracles instead of chaos
Harkening to the global consciousness without a loss
Enlightened by the energy with our essence embossed
With freedom, liberty, literacy, prosperity and wealth
Organized by we the people of this blue planet in mean stealth
Recognizing our worthiness and a willingness to expel
Liege for no common reasoning in bigotry
Diligent efforts to erase hypocrisy
Negotiating the intricate conditions with clearly stated terms
Systematically laid out to all peoples, so our words might be heard
Perfectly imperfect, as the human race innately knows how to do

About this poem:
A small taste of my political flavorings
Nairobi
N ows here the place Joy Adams was chased
A s the lion cubs let loose followed her scent
I n haste through stores and stalls in riotous glee
R ight to her they led George he begged her to stay
O utwitted in her ploy to go she tried again to leave
B ut the lion cubs sure had other ideas and circled her
I nstead she found that no way could she leave them

ACROSTIC AUTUMN
A-Autumn is saying goodbye to hot sunny sun
U-underneath a cold blast stands ready to come
T-thanks are due for this years weather
U-unbridled a beautiful time we had together
M-mother earth has blessed us this year
N-now to hold the memory dear
U-underneath a cold blast stands ready to come
T-thanks are due for this years weather
U-unbridled a beautiful time we had together
M-mother earth has blessed us this year
N-now to hold the memory dear

About this poem:
Oh it was composed a little while ago and since writing the weather has been foul---i was fooled
Rosa
Rosa
Like a flower that blossoms in the wind
Her petals flowing and grasping life
And holding on to her faith
Like there was no tomorrow
Her aura, presence and beauty
Her awareness of who she can be
Who she wants to be
And who she will become
Her spoken word
Her interesting and intriguing mind
Her passion for conversation
And her strive for honesty
A lady of physical beauty
A girl that deserves respect
In all aspects of her life
For it is she; who holds the key
Within her essence, there is a presence
Of a soulful and loyal human being
Her joyous smile would warm your heart
And make your dreams become real
Her free spirit is genuine just like a dare
Her pride and self awareness
Her personality and intelligence
Just proves; she cares
For it is I who has witnessed all of this, on many an occasion.

About this poem:
note: each of the acrostic I wrote, is about a girls/women i met in my life (lovers,strangers,friends)..they are the inspiration of everything i write (but they never read them)whine
whine
why have I never enough
what haunts you
we have all things
we're empty
when erstwhile ruined empires
would have every need
was our unfulfilled love derided
wind abbot'o sea
which I now desire
witch have I changed helpless
wine it's tomorrow can't help
why have I never enough
what haunts you
we have all things
we're empty
when erstwhile ruined empires
would have every need
was our unfulfilled love derided
wind abbot'o sea
which I now desire
witch have I changed helpless
wine it's tomorrow can't help
