Denny Moonde Poems

Dangled Carrot

Mama; absurd the wickedness of lady luck
Malnourished baby strapped on your back
...

The Parasite

In you it feels like it’s in paradise
That malaria parasite
...

Me thought black was beautiful
Me knows black is beautiful
African woman black is a pleasure
Your chocolate look is what I treasure.
...

Deluded

Our skepticism preposterous
We the deluded hoi polloi
...

You know, you a perfect friend
You always with me, that I know.
Singing birds; your birthday song
Dancing heart; my smile for you
...

Within that, I exercise my responsibility,
Like ambiguity cast in concrete;
Your understanding of complexity,
Uninspiringly full of desecrate.
...

Your strength shears through me
I feel you; without touching you.
The sting of a bee,
Cannot stop me tasting the honey.
...

I looked at her with a straight face
My heart started to race
My speech was cursed
She’d turn me down
...

Her eyes big in a small way
She is petit, elegantly wholesome
Says am handsome, awesome
Silky singing voice when she speaks.
...

Blame nature he's a vulture
the torment great
a modest life
comfort zone torn
...
