It's time for a new vehicle
Click, click, bang, bang it's a clunker
The struts and ball bearings clicking
It's a nightmare driving this car.

Not knowing when I'll be stranded
It's time for a new vehicle
Never trust family mechanics
They just might take you for granted.

Finally have deed and title
Five years of payments, paid in full
It's time for a new vehicle
My Aveo is a clunker.

Why? Because a car murderer
Did not properly change my oil
Massive oil leak about kill me
It's time for a new vehicle.

Docile
doe eyed
submit

sunlight to dusk
paramore amour
and nightfall
asunder silent
quiet to your chores
I rest like a king
feet up in the
man chair

Your laundry round
and dishes clank
my shirt pressed
a cold beer drank

a place has everything
and everything a
need
shower
annointed
dry
my rules
my creed

a land without
borders or rules
is unhappiness
no linen
no lace
no strength
no grace

glaciers of indifferent neon
flash impersonally
aloof
across an emotionless sea of
permutating
pinched
icy countenances

nibbling, numbing
apathetic winds
seek
infiltrate bone

stinging precipitation
marble cold
penetrates pores
with a weather-beaten shudder

cross-legged on the promenade
at the sidelines of
the main thoroughfare of trampling feet
unkempt dank dreadlocks
stooped
short sleeves
no shoes
a small fray-edged blanket

an epoch of brutality
met with shed tears
as glass sparkled
where rioters passed
Why? Unanswered
what could have been undone?
had a man not been choked
for such a petty infraction
Why? Unanswered
was a shot ever fired?
seems the land of the free
and brave prefers to cower
behind power first
regardless of lack of threat
Why? Unanswered
Ferguson
Eric Garner
what power fiends
on patrol
irrational reactions
acts of unfit uniformed bullies

The world was burning around me
where the sun revealed gory scenery
of corpses with darkened skin
with faces frozen in a silent scream.

Soldiers marching, trampling on humanity
Their blind bullets vanquished innocent lives
What is the meaning of such a victory
that was spawned out of despair and misery?

No guilty conscience, no conviction
my vision of peace distorted
like the reflection on a cracked mirror
stripped of beauty by murderers

I don't know what quatern or not

but this piece of exquisite poetic art
tells me somewhere in the hollow of my heart
lies a desire
a want and hope
like the lantern with darkness to elope
as the wanton flows
from within all night
the desires glow
when the lantern will be out
none shall know
my life so does ebb but slow
I want her to know

come alongside once again
to glow
am I wrong to think so?

Dear sublime
only you know

Is there truth in all that is said
may be, may be not, may be some
yet we fret, or even tirade
over if it's a peach or plum

when we speak of age old myth
Is there truth in all that is said
hard to believe or contend with
to deny it most are afraid

it's so funny how rumors spread
thanks to the world of inter net
Is there truth in all that is said
it's win or lose placing a bet

a wondrous favour bestowed on me

a gem that shone in life's waters

Heaven, for her own reasons

on a sorrow-filled day

took my gift away

but not before

he'd found love

and made

you

.

You start fights without a cause
Cussed me, then act like the victim
If only I had a missile
Then your mouth would be its target.

Why attack when I'm feeling well?
Starting fights without a cause
Your demise became my desire
Holding back kegs of fiery words.

Your callous, disrespectful taunts
Unrepented, doubling down
To start fights without a cause
Makes me dizzy full of contempt.

If cobra size of a python
I'd wrap my tail around your neck
Spit venom in your eye till blind
Starting fights without a cause.

chokecherry smudge
the club mists
sticky trysts

black soled grey leather pumps
bracelets that glitter
like the snow
loud patrons
and cabbies
tracking black
ruts in the down
drifting
from Forever winter

Music and meter glow
Drive on driver
beneath the hallowed
show
dark eyes
dark nite
the fuel
may help us
sleep tonight
beneath the
burden of eternity
toiling in the turmoil
sleep rumpled
slumped
