Thorns!

you pulled the rug under my feet
and stripped the only garb
which protected me from harm
you threw caution to the ill wind
when you knew that it blew no good
You had in the open
for all to see my mockery

why should i forgive you
when i hear people scorn
every step i walk past them
you know the taste of bile
know how much it sucks
yet you chose to feed it to me
and now you go mad
when my own pound of flesh
threatens to tear you apart

Be thankful for everyday you live..(True Life Story)..

She woke up this morning feeling so refreshed
Yesterday she felt so unwell and disillusioned
When asked why the sudden elation
She said I feel so great today,
I can move my hands and my feet aint draggin like yesterday
As if she had a premonition of things to come
All of a sudden whilst having her physical therapy
She slumped and passed out
Helter- skelter everyone ran
From first aid boxes to oxygen tanks
Eyes rolled up and oxygen circulation went from 96 to 89
Felt like forever waiting for 911
Wails echoing through the noisy background
She was resuscitated but could barely speak
Then her heart began to beat so fast
In leaps..
The evil one had come to steal
But she wouldn’t let go
Fighting for her last breath..fighting for life
In a whim, she looked around the entire room
As if to say thank you all
And say her last goodbyes
She made one last look and breathed her last
Our prayers couldn’t take her back

Mortal life..we come, we live and we end it all
A life was stolen in its prime
Leaving a trail of heavy mourners
And a family in utter shock and distress.

The Again Virgin..

I don’t know if I want to feel the soft touch of intimacy again,


It might burn as before,


Tears I would shed,


And dissolve into a puddle on the ground,


To bury myself in another’s body,


To have that permission,


To give that permission,


To meld with another,


So sweet but so new,


Again.

My heart sees..

An open heart
With hidden views
Neath whitened stars
And birds in blues
Across an ocean
Within a sky
My heart does soar
My soul does fly
Flowers share
Their lives of bloom
With me
For because of me
They have much room
Animals gathered
About me anew
Within my thoughts
Two by two
And as time itself
Stops not for zzzzzzzzz’s
Inside a heart of love
Is what my soul sees...

A poem for YOU

'Tis but a color
A faint shade. A hue
A caress of life
'Tis but a bit of blue
'Tis but a sight
Within life's plain
'Tis all for you
Once more again..

Heal Our Land..

Have you heard the wailing
Have you seen the crying
The gnashing of teeth,
The horror
The grief and devastation
Coming from distant lands
Death with a mortar in hand
Has taken over the land
Like rain, cleansing everything on its path
The old, the young,
Men, women, children
Visitors and citizen
All prey to the chilling hands of Esu
Roaring furiously
Groping for more blood
Of a resilient people
Hard pressed by famine and starvation


Blood spills across the land
Many still trapped under rubbles
Thousands in unconscious state
Some maimed
As men lose their guts
And sense of their strength
Confronted with more than they can bear
Life in this mode,
Can’t be anything but hell..

Travails of an Immigrant..

In search of golden fleece
A man is thrown out of his reins
Unsure and uncertain of the future
He leaves his family and loved ones
For a journey into the unknown

Across thousands of miles
Leaving a whole world behind him
Immersed in a new tradition
Culture, color and creed
Into a world of the unknown

He is abused, used and dumped
He works the dirty jobs daily
Summer and winter, he's there
Holding it down to pay the bills
In a world of the unknown

Hanging in there for so long
Almost on the verge of breaking up
Back ache persist, work confronts
loved ones back home, yearning for crumbs
From a man almost made spineless
In a world of the unknown
