The beaming child you were
yet dances free inside
though masked with adult care
her essence you can't hide
She takes you unaware
her mischief never still
She'll grace your life with pride
just only say you will
Say Yes !
By dreams she is your guide
on godbeams shall you ride

Sa Sa Ra
If you knew me you'd love me
and you'd have to hate me oh I
know that too oh so well, we all
are so love/hate beings, love the love
and hate the hate; and you are right
to defend the meek, the lowly, the righteous
the faithful and the fearful, voiceless the beaten
so then I know I love you, another lovely and beautifully
albeit even more so well poised shiny knight in confident armor
blessed are thee!!!
looking from below,
                               my eyes fix,
on your pleasure contorted face,
in the acute urgency,
of a lush, leafy tree,
                             undulating sinuously,
in the hands of
                           the winds of sensuality,
**at the very moment of
                                    efflorescence.

Sa Sa Ra
ashamed in the dark
hide hide closet run run
close your eyes wide wide in the mirror
why why while everyday our most brilliant disguises
the consciousness parade of charades by the brightness of day
aka best at hiding in plain sight;
but not as well in the mirror!!!!!
If I looked after the earth,
I'd burn it in passionate flames.
Bones inherit the soil,
not left a soul to claim.

The scent of rotting flesh,
brings essence to the finish
Life becomes extinct --
& so has the world within it.

Rich in confinement,
I slowly grow deranged.
Soon am I to join them,
hearken shrieks of the claimed.

My name is a song to them,
lost to genocide's insanity.
The voices in my head would claim;
"It's soon to be your fantasy."

The grand rite performed,
& all has been fore-said.
I am to dine and dance --
with the souls of the dead.

Beyond bare branches
Constellations shimmer bright
Uplifting my gaze
