Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
...
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
...
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
...
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

A Cloud withdrew from the Sky
Superior Glory be
But that Cloud and its Auxiliaries
Are forever lost to me
Had I but further scanned
Had I secured the Glow
In an Hermetic Memory
It had availed me now.
Never to pass the Angel
With a glance and a Bow
Till I am firm in Heaven
Is my intention now.

Detested by both men and gods,
like nobles who have bitterly decayed,
the Verlaines wither; wealth remains
to them, of rich and silvery rhyme.
With 'Les Chatiments' the Hugos are intoxicated
by their terrible Olympian revenge.
But I shall write a sorrowful
ballade to the forgotten poets.
Though the Poes have lived in misery,
...
I hear the laughter from a time long gone,
A haunting song that sways the restless air;
I search for self as fading dusk moves on,
Then lose myself in vanishing colors there.
When others dream beneath soft sleep's veil,
I wake to stars that shimmer deep and wide,
A child of night, where shadows silently sail—
In darkness, secrets and lost echoes hide.
...
In lands afar, where sunbeams gleam,
One nation's might, a restless dream.
Across the globe, on every shore,
Their flags are planted, asking for more.
...
Years he spoke, a voice raised high,
Of science bent, a subtle lie.
To Congress told, a shadowed quest,
Where labs in China are put to test.
...
Driven from home by a fiery hand,
Erik the Red found a glacial land.
Along the green fjords where the cold waters ran,
The Norse built a home and a century began.
...
I looked out the plane's window, rays of sun
Golden kisses brightens my heart has begun
Clouds like pure white atolls whispered
My mind softly emerged
...
Senator Graham is now set to rest
A heavy weight upon my anxious heart
The path ahead, a canvas bare,
A silent space, suddenly not heard

Morning's buttered sun pours light's honey over layered rock cakes spilling shadows in drops coffee black. A flowered and green tilted plate where a thin trail wends its way through leafy bordering byways. Birds call like singing utensils and the aroma of nature's kitchen wafts through the out doors. Tongue tasting lightly salted, skin basted turning brown. I walk between moss and vine table cloth decorated stone tables and rock chairs. The fresh mountain air is on the menu.

Someone once said to me,
'Be patient
with everything

Here is a news for you,
for all of you -
That I lost
and I lost

An aggressive rhythm challenges me
In the unpleasant season,
I accept it immediately,
I know that

'Woman, I see through your disguise,
The alimony tears in your eyes,
You swore we were forever, then came the papers,
Now my paycheck's yours like some legal capers.'
...
I dwell
In the absence
You left behind
...
If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
Indoors by technology, outdoors by speedy transport
I travel the world
Today in Japan, tomorrow in Rome,
Next day by an ancient civilization or in Hawaii or Coast Ivory,
...
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer

The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!
Sun Of The Nation; a rare gift of Providence.
Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

Love and lust are poles apart.
Lust is chaos, love is art.

Rappelle-toi Barbara
Il pleuvait sans cesse sur Brest ce jour-là
Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante

you put this pen
in my hand and you
take the pen from you put this pen

On this dry prepared path walk heavy feet.
This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

"Come, pretty birds, present your lays,
And learn to chaunt a goddess praise;
Ye wood-nymphs, let your voices be
Employ'd to serve her deity:

If you had the choice of two women to wed,
(Though of course the idea is quite absurd)
And the first from her heels to her dainty head
Was charming in every sense of the word:

A little while, a little while,
The weary task is put away,
And I can sing and I can smile,
Alike, while I have holiday.

Between us now and here -
Two thrown together
Who are not wont to wear
Life's flushest feather -
