Wane Wars
Welcoming waves wave worries 'way
Opulent Oceans open opportunities
Seeing seas soothe sending some salvation
Royal riches reaming - raising rebels
Wars won with winners wielding wizards’ wands
Billions birth bombs - brutally burnt bodies
Men massacre maids - millions murdered
Time teaches temperance – time teaches:
Nothing, nothing new, nothing, nothing new
Still, starvation stinks, septic scents send shivers
Awakening avenging angels, angered
Compassionate, caring – creating change
Humans humbled, hurt, hungry – hunting healing
When will we wane wars? Wicked world.

Part 11 - Kiss Me, Already
Kiss Me, Already (Part Eleven)
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me!
Kiss me because you can; I am your man;
For this kiss; and again for sake of love.
Let this kiss cling to yesterday’s passions
And reach for tomorrows’ hopes of us;
Go to the sea when tides are high, and go
To the mountains as rain falls; wet your lips,
Then come kiss me that I also might know
Of the waters you have been made to know.
Let it be that when we kiss, in your eyes
I would see you, and in my eyes; you; me,
For that is the measure of becoming one.
Kiss with such passion that we’ll see rainbows,
Kiss me, kiss me, I love the taste thereof;

Curiosity Killed The Bachelor
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
the same is my approached to you, for now I’m like a kid on crack:
Twitching, and restless when you’re not with me, on a high when you are.
Like a caveman knocking on a stone, I knock on your door, now, I have fire.
Crimson and beautiful - love deeper than that which is raw.
Unadulterated and immense, exactly what my soul searched for.
Searched for days, months, years, but came up with lack,
Beaten and broken by relationships’ whips, now pride rests on my back.
Pride in love, pride in hope, pride in life; and it is with pride that I ask 'Will you be my wife'? Curiosity brought me this far, love would complete the task!

If the Sky Fell?
If the sky fell
Then we would
All go to hell.
We would be trapped
In darkness, and
Our world would be reckless.
If the sky fell
Then our sun, moon,
Stars would go away
And with no planes,
We couldn't go away.
If the sky fell
Then superman would be weak,
And mankind would be sick;
Then we would be done done away with.
The day would be our last
and time a thing of the past
As we are propelled into

Half a Poem
I laughed. The other option was to cry,
But she was looking so I had to laugh
Or show myself as weak - I cried inside,
Where only I could see my many tears
That poured like fountains of my sorrow,
My joy, my pain, my peace, my hate, my love.
I thought she was the pinnacle of love:
A flower that comforts the ones who cry,
A beam of light that ends the worst sorrow,
A joy that causes chuckle then a laugh
That then explodes and ends with lovely tears.
This girl, she made me feel these things inside.
I never told her what I felt inside
My silly dreams of life with her in love
With me, I thought one kiss would seal the tears
Which spread throughout a heart that bled to cry,
Recalling not the day of sharing laugh-
ter: friends became a mist in the sorrow.

Spell this for us... W.E L.O.V.E Y.O.U J.E.M.U.E.L
We remember our little Jemuel
Even as in our heart you shall dwell
A small bubble of light: A ceaseless flame,
Sparked, and left to burn in our hearts
For you:
Sweet melodies are being sung in heaven
On the arrival of the newest angel,
Born of Kay and Clarence - Your name Jemuel
Hearts are stolen by you, on earth and in Heaven
Jesus’ little brother, born of a loving mother
Up in heaven, sitting with Emanuel -
Sweet melodies are being sung in heaven
On the arrival of the newest angel:
Jesus loves you, am sure you could tell
Even as with him your spirit dwell.

Bye Bye, you Wretch (Farewell 2008)
Yo,2008, you’re lucky
You’re lucky fate push you out
You’re lucky, damn lucky too.
For everything that gone wrong
This year, I blame you!
You see that loads of heartbreak,
It is your fault!
You see the nights of long tears,
It is your fault!
You see that stress mark on my forehead
You gave it to me!
Yes 2007 was no Cinderella
But she was not Dracula
You bloodsucker, I’m happy you’re gone!
2007 had her bumps and stumps
But you: 'Monster' you had horns.
For every love that left

Let’s elope (Rime Royal)
We love each other, so why should we wait?
Let us get it done - Love, we should elope.
This evening, tomorrow, just pick a date.
I’ve reasoned options and I’ve viewed the scope,
It can be judge, the pastor, priest, or pope,
But in the eyes of law become my wife;
Let us no longer wait to start our life.
Appoint me love; I want to be your prince;
With white dress worn, be my Cinderella.
I longed to marry with you ever since
The day you and I shared the umbrella;
That summer storm has really changed this fella.
A sunny day we met and I’ve been happy…
I cannot wait for you to MARRY ME.
Let it be we, our fathers and our mothers
To give their daughter, and for the remembrance
Such is essential, we need no others;
whose only purpose is that of observance.

Tribute To The Jailer's Daughter
That which has entered through my eyes
Has most certainly progressed to dry my tongue
And like yesterday, my sanity has all but gone
Tracking through the woods in search of love.
Love that was found but does not make love,
For her eyes –like diamonds- are set on another
Whom she gazed upon from her high chair.
And I admit he’s fair, but knows not she’s there.
So, heed my call, and dance, my dearest fool,
With hands on your head, dance for your jewel.
Dance for me, dance, dance, and make me jolly.
Dance on the sand and then dance on the sea.
For the ship is battered and sinking in waves,
Dance on the plank, and dance, dance to your grave.
Below lies your redemption - I do not lie
Dance for all, dance, so you alone may die.
Though I haven’t a womb, something has moved.
My sacks are too full, know me, and that I’ll prove.

Christmas (A Sestina)
Christmas is here, Jesus to the world brought peace
Everyone is rested as kids spend time with family
Kitchens are ablaze, wives creating good ol’ soul-food
Leslie and Destra, await their turn, under the mistletoe
Love is burning bright, outshining the fireplace
And playing kids fill the house with laughter
Worries are swept away, sadness replaced by laughter
As love flies through the air, enemies make peace
Whilst sweet carols are sung by the fireplace
We thank God for the greatest gift of family
As grandma and grandpa steal a kiss, under the mistletoe
My tummy just yelled: where is my soul-food?
Memories to the tongue, grandma’s special soul-food
Don’t know how, but to my tongue, it brings laughter.
Grandma and Grandpa are still under the mistletoe
Showing love so ancient, a picture of heaven’s peace
They are the beginning and measure of our family
Captured purely in pictures taken by the fireplace
