Those Who Laugh

Those who laugh the hardest, often weep the most—façades of our lighthearted bliss hide the black morose.

m~i~n~e

her hand in mine

awakens my senses

her head on my shoulder

brings down my defenses

her fingers in mine

pluck the strings of my heart

the smile on her lips

a unique work of art

she spins dewdrops into morning rain

as they slide down her skin onto mine

she sets the sun and the phoenix aflame

and admires how bright they do shine

she is the moon in the sky of my night

casting her light through the trees

she is the stars that glow just out of sight

forgotten to all but me

her lips on mine

her eyes on me

the sound of her voice

the blush on her cheeks

cuz she spins dewdrops into morning rain

as they slide down her skin onto mine

she sets the sun and the phoenix aflame

and admires how bright they do shine

and she's all mine

your favorite flower and why

While Walking

Never really thought about a “favorite” flower before, but:

I like the smell of honeysuckle when it hits you unexpected like, when you are just walking, your mind adrift, and the scent seeks you from out of the blue.

I like a magnolia, 40’ tall and covered in giant, white blooms. Reminds me of home.

I like the heartiness of a dandelion. Little SOB never gives up til you get his roots.

I like the azaleas when I watch The Masters, and the cherry blossoms in DC, the peach blossoms in Atlanta, and a ’Nawlins fuscia.

I like the clematis Pooky-Bear planted on the back fence.

But mostly I like the smell of a honeysuckle when I am walking.

DAYLIGHT OF TENSION

It is time

When sun ceased to appear

When trees have all clasped their fingers

Flowers withered

As no one moves in muscles

It is time

Travesty is my garment

For Fruitful mothers to yowl

The Staff of authorities to charade

With superfluity of chaos amongst humanoid

It is time

The sound of terror

The anger of the ghosts

The blood of the innocent

Will mingle for vengeance

It is time

Floods of corpse in the homes

Dead bodies on your streets

No animal to bury each other

It is time

When the rivers will dry

The oceans will walk into your homes

Expecting flood as your next visitor

Oh!, mother

Why mother earth?

Why allow your children perish;

Like a passing wind?

The drum of peace have flown

The beauty of the land is now adorned in bared soil

Not even a sweet scent flowers for our bees

Your children drink dust for water

Our exaltation is now a rag

Shame has covered up our nakedness

Our pocket of coins

Our Parle of vegetation

Our ornamented city squares

Have all lost the attractive sight of the tourists

O yes! I see

My soul is up for reprisal

My body bleeds

My hands of grace

Are filled with destructions

It is time

Harness your ways

Sons and daughters of the earth

Then you shall live

Else

Your names will be scribed as sorry#

why do you write?
Profile avatar image for A
A in Poetry & Free Verse

I write to ignite frightened minds and remind them of the might they might be inclined to find inside the confines of life interwined with divine vibes and sublime rhymes propeling lives to rise and thrive. I write because words are magic and sentences are spells, and the thought of underutilizing ourselves is tragic so I feel frantic to go savage and ring some chilling bells. I write because letters are elements, words are molecules, and paragraphs are the means to create worlds forming books upon shelves. I write because I can.

Understand?
