Rainforest Poems

It's true, I was idealistic when I was young
I saw everything in black and white
But now, everything's gray and complex
I fought for the seals and whales
...

Rain your heart with its inside soft tissues
The stimulus of the thoughts that from there fly
Every hour of the weaving dark dripping issues
Into the earth and up to the very high
...

The waterfall baptised us
And cleansed our sin away
The waters were cool to bathe our bodies
In the blessed bliss
...

No rainforest can hold me
No desert can leave me thristy
As I look for you
Where are you, love?
...

Living is a challenge

Life is not the same

I get off the IRT in front of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture after riding an early
Amtrak from Philly to get a hair cut at what used to be the Harlem "Y" barbershop. It gets me in at ten to
ten. Waiting, I eat fish cakes at the Pam Pam and listen to the ladies call out orders: bacon-biscuit twice,
scrambled scrambled fried, over easy, grits, country sausage on the side. Hugh is late. He shampoos me,

God gave us colours in our daily routine,
A clear blue sky the grass so green,
The colours of the mammals, all the life in the seas,
Our rainforest habitat they're all there to please.
...

The rainforest is green with its beauty,
It is pure and holy like the greatest palace,
Where kings and queens roam,
In all their unrequited glory,
...

A FOREST FULL OF TREES

As I entered the rainforest the other day,
Where the trees stood tall and free,
...

Your world is fragile glass
Every day breaking like bones
Against the heartless pavement
Of this dingy city where dreams disappear
...

A loud laugh, a hysterical cackle!
I got up with a start early morning,
opened my eyes. I was in
my friend's house in Wayanad

rainforest dripping flooding rivers of words
wet downpour drowning in layered meanings

I remember peeping in at his skyscraper room
and seeing him fast asleep. My little man.
I'd been in Manhattan a week,
...

He swings his torch high and low,
piercing the dark undergrowth, green and lush,
casting a glow across the swampy places.
...

Draw a nail from the wood,
You weaken the frame,
The wind won't be withstood,
Because it's structure you maim.

My stella 44
Thy lap is my rest

In the forest of life a selfless empty shell,
...

I dreamed of kissing you all the night
In a rainforest of fireflies bright
The cozy curve of your lips were glowing
Moist breeze of monsoon was blowing.
...

once upon a track high in the Kahurangi National Park
it was not a park then just locally known Wangapeka Track
I read psalms in alpine mountains below alpine heights
...

There isn't a
N A M E
to fill in the
void of personality.

Enthralled by programmes on aquatic life -
sun fish swim upside down when they wish,
camouflaged rock-fish precision-jump thus
devour prey at lightning speed; you will not

Where many live, ​
Always rainforest has been positive, ​
Rainforests are placed high, ​
It never asked why, ​
...

bread butter and greens
a salad of vines and trees
a coleslaw of densely grown leaves
and boy did I want to add cheese
...

Deep into the rainforest
Hidden behind bigleaf magnolia leaves
An empty skeleton catches the eye
Laying on top of the morning dew grass
...

When the day is over, I see my body oh so decomposed
I decide to take one last stroll in the rainforest
There I see a spot to let myself be disposed
In a beautiful cloudy day in August
...

The Amazon

The Amazon rainforest cries and the mighty river senses the doom.
The inhabitants of the forest are beleaguered in fear of losing out
...

A rainforest in suburbia;
As green a view, soaking.
As fair, in its feathered run-off
Parrot's tri-flash dyed in.
...

Stormy rainforest
Howling, whooping, boohooing
Bursting into tears
...

I was a rainforest once
Overcrowded with tall trees of pain
They reached high up to the skies of my eyes
I could barely see the world for what it is
...

The rainforest of Amazon is burning...
Haven't you heard the crying...?
O don't know how many souls are sold
And where to stop greddy game of cash cold?
