Praise The Dreamers
Give Praise to the world,
To all those who'd been here before
Who made this world so much more
Than it had been.
For each tiny change,
If it took years, months or days,
Was all part of the way
From nothing to everything,
So let's Give Praise to the world,
To all those who'd been here before
And maybe do one thing more
Because we share their dream
To make this world a better pla...

Shadow Dancing
In the shadow of sleeping Kings,
soldiers, and poets,
comes another battlefield day,
man against man, invisible wars,
hell’s fury unleashed among trees.
Yet, upon the rocky shore,
angels dance and sing,
reminding us there is something more
than misery.
Beauty glints among broken things.
Hope is on the horizon.
So on these solemn days,
let us find something...

The Healing of Ancient Wounds
She wondered into his place of work
because she thought she was loosing her head
When approached by him she lost herself,
her wits and her heart instead
She found her will to try,
emotions she had lost,
physical urges she thought she had shed
The sight and sound of him,
the insight he shared,
her soul he fed
Cautiously she indulged,
dependency has only ever bro...

MY SAVIOUR, MY SAVANT (An ode to my paid weekly "friend")
I lost all control
Crossed the threshold
My tears too excruciating to hold
I prayed earnestly to be released from the pyre
I saw you and I continued to burn
Only now, I burned also with desire
Curiosity peaked
Fervent interest realized
The voodoo you do, mesmerized
Divinity revealed?
Oh, what power you weild!
Desperately I yearn to yeild
Yo...

Rush Hour Treat...
Emotional turmoil
Tranquility sporadic
The future unknown yet frightful
A familiar face in the crowd
So warm, inviting and sweet...
Everything makes sense again
Hope is reignited
Fear, is once again
For the time being

Deceit tells us: what they have is better than ours
Deceit tells us: what they have is better than ours
So now we wrestle with discontent
Forever seeking,
Wanting,
Desiring something that was never our own
Blessings become blurred
When seen through the lens of another
Our sight diminishes
With each gaze and long lusting look
That will never be
Enough.
Scrolling through standards not set in stone
Daydrea...

Gratitude
I won't ever let a sun to set in the horizon: GRATITUDE
to
the Almighty,
who didn't let me fly with an evil bird,
the nature,
to set me an example of sacrifice and care,
the dad,
to teach me a lot in no words,
the mom,
to make me a reality in the world,
the teachers,
to shape a pot out of a wet clay dust,
the blood-bonds,
to make my any anguish to rest,
the ...

When i think of you
When I think of you
And all you have done
My heart is full of joy
That it pours out
When I think about where I was
And where I am now
My mouth is full of songs
No man can hold me down
When I think of your love
That liquid love
My eyes are full of tears
A fountain that won’t dry out
When I think of your peace
That garrisons my heart
All my fears fade away
Like a distant memory

To all you writers and poets out there
To all you writers and poets out there.
Thank you for your words of courage,
words of truth,
words of encouragement
and nourishment.
Thank you for your solidarity,
for lifting us up.
Thank you for breaking ground,
cutting the edge,
standing on that soapbox
with daring and drive,
having the nerve to shout out
what many ...
