"births" poems
you are the center, the sun in the sky warming, lighting, guiding those below you are the core, the hub in the wheel forming, maintaining, strengthening the circle you are the earth, the bedrock beneath supporting, stabilizing, reinforcing our lives you are the reason for our being, our births, our lives nurturing, nourishing, caring for our hopes, our dreams you gather, sort the fruits, roots harvested from the land tending, stoking, reviving embers smothering in the hearth your strength transcends your body, your mind, your heart from the first child, to the last, your love, affection is forever you cradle, caress, kiss, comforting the child reassuring, protecting, shooing monsters away you are the strong, tough, steady woman in our lives fierceness of a lioness, tender as a kitten, loving her child

strong tough steady woman
You are the sky While I'm of dirt and earth Sharing the universe in separate realms Conflicting factions, diverse births I would forever look up Rest my gaze on the tide of the air And dream for our eyes to meet Temporary eternity that we would share I've cried many a teardrop But you can never know Because to you they never could reach For into my core they'd only flow But when you stare down sullenly Your tears would fall, soaking my plane I'd drink the drops voraciously Those gifts of love from heaven's rain Your tears would nurture the seeds I've planted They'd take root and flourish in the sun Resolve in my soil held firmly in place Thinking our journey forth would've then begun Roots would give birth to stem Which in turn, would branch out into leaves Plantling will eventually grow up high To give back the love, it constantly receives Such misfortune little sprout You can only grow so tall You can never reach that far You and I can only kiss the drops that fall So... My beautiful sky of azure I am but dust on fate's heavy feet We can only look to the faraway horizon Only there could heaven and earth truly meet

What a historic day it is, that the birth of Motherland we celebrate, She beautifies herself with Independence and prides in freedom; Like a berry, Her seeds are nurtured and groomed to pomegranate, Its the birthday of Nigeria, a tectonic day of liberation from Edom. A day to celebrate Her sweet Autonomy and Ultimate Supremacy, An October 1st that marks an Independent and historic liberation; She prides herself in political Authority, Power and Predominancy, Its the born day of Motherland, a day of a feast worthy celebration. Let's all celebrate the birth of Nigeria, for Her age's a befitting feast, We must unite together as One Nation built on our Elite's landmark; This day calls for a jubilation to a lasting freedom and a vital feast, Motherland glows with honour and pride, for her birth's a hallmark. She fought like an Eagle with great might and valor, for the liberty Of Her future generation, and Hero's blood a fountain of freedom, Today we laud a Nigeria that birthed the Independence and stability Of a Sovereign Nation, that feeds no more on the putrid of Edom. Today marks the 56th born day of Nigeria, and still a Sovran Nation, It calls for a celebration, a befitting feast and a historic merriment; An October 1st that marks an Independent and historic liberation, Its Nigeria's Independence, a day to celebrate a sweet merriment. ©Vabec.

i felt like talking that night reciting poetry to your big blue eyes and raw pink mouth smiling high as a wind whipped kite discussing art, ontology, and existentialism sitting like lotus at the Cafe Figaro on McDougall st in the west village belly of a ghost lost in a vagrant memory afterwards we went to a little one bedroom flat in the east village haunted by the vapors of its history a slight stench of **** and dingo tongue dripping toilet all peeling walls intimating births, cheer and squalor after a hot bath of lathered torsos we followrd each other naked winding around a table into a swaying bed that beckoned **** here my darlings and i licked and drank out of your drenched rose red blossom for hours it licking back I salvaged the loneliness of my soul between your thighs like a desolate dog whimpering thanking God with every graze and ****** of your all supple shifting limbs your company your company your sweet droplets of company in moon rise summer balm we looked in the mirror reflecting on my glistening face all red raspberry my lips like blood hydras laughing our ***** off at how artsy we looked smeared with your rouge painted thighs appearing as if half eaten you growled swallowed and licked big butter piggy till your nose ran like the Ganges gagging eyes bloodshot pools of fire cooing and oowing driving me maniacal with every ****** of your wild flicking tongue we poured our selves into each other viscous creels gushing coursing like slime silver radiating and finally used to the marrow we found ourselves drooping sails our eyelids  leaden the night mist fell upon us   muttering shadows and our *** shriveled like cast-off umbilici and we fell to sleep steep steep buoyant like two buttermilk clouds adrift your company your company your sweet droplets of company in moon rise summer balm

In the murky depths of muck and mire hope flickers in hearts courageous enough to believe; sending out ripples in the waters like a domino effect rewound. Insignificant seedlings to the cruel eye filled with light and promise as yet unseen turned Fragile sprouts in healing green reaching up and out to rest hopes on the water front, as if to console one another - we are not alone. Against all odds, bean of India, Keep going – Power through the sluggish resistance Of this darkened plane. Though life seems lost in loneliness Listen closely, Hear the Whispering rumours of life beyond the deep Of basking in light and life beneath the welcoming heat of a dancing sun. A triumphant act of faith indeed, to content oneself with growing, never really knowing what lies beyond the darkness. I weep for you with joy, O little pocket of hope as you propel yourself forward - such strength, such courage for one who as yet knows not of that rosey happiness, that snow white purity that lies beneath your shell. I stand in awe of you; You with your absurd elegant beauty tracing your journey accepting it as part of yourself embracing who you once were. The original rags to riches tale; Roots in putrid, ravenous foundations yet you yourself remain unstained. The journey every bit as beautiful as your glorious destination – a testimony to your essential self. I see you take up your stance Front and centre, finally ready to declare yourself to the world. Budding beauty of new life awake! open your eyes, your heart, you dont have to hide anymore the world is missing who you are. And time births healing and growth. Every flower blooms at her own pace; Tentatively unfolding - delicate and fragile still with gentle colours begging will I do? Caught up in a lighter life becoming bolder, blessed, nurtured blooming bright, opened out hello world, here I am. Your wary days drowned, you claim your space, Fill your space, Make it your own. The ethereal splendour of your gentle petals Succeeded only by the loveliness within, As you build up your legacy of hope So wonder will not be lost in the falling petals but made more beautiful still in the healing gifts, in nourishing others, in the gifts you give of yourself back to the world.

her body's glazed with sugar but her soul's made of spice her grin is chaotic but it melts down the ice she howls for the moon when it births her with light she's made love with herself she's made peace with the night so why would you put her in a dress? why would you comb her curls out? why would you tell her to speak softly, when her heart commands her to shout? she was raised among wolves. she did not grow with the roses. you expect her to change. well, the wolf in her opposes. she is reckless. she is free. she is her. she is me.

Nothings how it looks in fact, maybe the opposite People say I'm energetic When I'm fighting for consciousness Downed NyQuil to solve my imperfections Took Benadryl to sleep Drugs make chatter over the back and forth banter of boredom And action A trip to the hospital Affects the people to care for a minute Hallucinogens fade, but this music it stays No 3G left **** it lets sing Words slurred eyes red I don't give a **** spread love Acceptance And tears of joy The ones that run over the face of a baby boy Mama's proud Baby you're so smart! You're gonna be so successful! Yeah I remember those days Now its nicotine sticks on my lips and E's for my mom to brag about They think I'm lost Am I? Testing to be done Society approved pills to pop And a letter from my aunt Words spread like dye in water I've dropped Down from the heaven of the early years Lucifer can maneuver his way around the city unnoticed A spy who tells lies to himself and greets the people as equal Human again I'd like to be All I want to do is live! But a life's money, family, and a plan Floaters get flushed Couch potatoes get crushed Lazy ***** Ha They just get fat Like these joints everybody wants to roll **** is for beginners but what happens to the pros? No trophy for the taking No stack of gold Just a massive headache And dependence Diet coke doesn't count My sis puts her heart on her sleeve Me I don't even think I have one No wait it's up my *** **** me good **** me long That only love is what turns me on If not Keep out Of my head Or Switch, light Too god **** bright to illuminate these white walls I'm hired to paint 24hrs, 365 days a year, until the day it’s complete Avoidance Births time from time Cuts wrists to elbow Show how mellow I can be Let me cope Every days a new day Born today die tomorrow Next day Wake up Look in the mirror and decide what you'd like to see

Wake up Nigeria whilst it is still day. Your darkness thickens in the hot summer sun. Wake up Nigeria from your spectators' fun. Like a titan to the slaughter, your way to financial hades might be certain. Awake, or your future is uncertain. Your teeming youth population languish in persistent erosive social crimes. Awake Nigeria from pain and anguish. Your tragedies exceed your countless births. Awake Nigeria, for these many deaths reveal a corrupt weakened armed forces. Awake Nigeria from your great slumber. Your rank in the black world has been usurped. Awake Nigeria, reclaim your number one position by treading those courses once trod, and never again to be stopped. Awake Nigeria and discern the times. Cease for good to be black gold dependent.

Nigeria the sleeping giant
The last judgement shall not hold mercy on the servants, but it shall not wrong them in their deeds either, it is the final decision to make, The end of a long journey which births the desire to see you again, Your reflection cast on a mirror in a sea of pure lunacy shall clear it all It will open your heart and reveal all of your sinning impurities cast away by words of falsities, triggered by a simple yet small lie, Heartfelt dream scapes shape the mirror; In a world so dark that the stars will blind ones sensitive, mortal eyes within seconds to come, Experience of past events suspend memories from the future's dawn. I will not show you any sad dreams, I'd like to heal your wounds if you have striven for righteousness and purity such as patience, If you however have striven for corruption then you should know, There's unending punishment and darkness awaiting your arrival, Here we do have unlimitted time after all, unlimited cruelty and fear, Love comes in misery, ends unexpectedly yet you won't see, will you? Time ticks on, goes by and follows it's clear path in this devil's world which I am lurking over, ruling, which you have intruded tonight, Take my hand oh all you pure souls, the love of light is for all to bear! ~ Umi

The Last Judgement
My fingers tangle and trip over sloppy knitting like a deer learning to walk on crooked pencil legs. Like a song I don't quite know the words to. I move unsteadily, uncertain, with short shaky breaths. Remember when I taught my lungs to breathe again in August? After so many mistakes that I didn't know how to reconcile. I wanted to die out back of a hotel in Montana, dramatic in the weeds and grasshoppers. Needles fighting, I spread a mess of mustard yarn across my fingers like I need a napkin. Has anything changed? Dropped stitches, weary knots leaving gaping holes. I think of how I ran away from it all. There are days I still look back. But I look straight into the sky as if demanding an explanation from God himself. I have to shade my eyes sometimes, seeing blinding brilliance in the sun now. I can't live any longer only by the light it sheds everywhere else. No, in births of light and bursts of truth and slow, overdue breaths is a song I'm finally learning the words to. You will not defeat me. I rip out my knots and begin again.

I have found, yes, I have found the wealth of the Divine Name's gem. My true guru gave me a priceless thing. With his grace, I accepted it. I found the capital of my several births; I have lost the whole rest of the world. No one can spend it, no one can steal it. Day by day it increases one and a quarter times. On the boat of truth, the boatman was my true guru. I came across the ocean of existence. Mira's Lord is the Mountain-Holder, the suave lover, of whom I merrily, merrily sing.

inky black skies pricked by pinholes of light above our heads with your hand in mine as our feet dance - exalted and anxious upon the tired concrete ground where we've danced before the knowing gaze of the sagely moon upon us does not compare to the brightness that gives life to your eyes and births your smile we escape inside from the uncertainty of night with your hand never leaving mine and the frantic dance continues until we are strewn together cloaked by covers hearts pressed together in a duet of frenzied marcato beats that steadily decrescendos as our breath slows and our limbs weave and entwine like a dreamcatcher bodies intertwined protected from the ghouls of night with your hand in mine we sleep safely

Heartbeat
The proudest of men that walk the earth Have been doused in glory since the day of their births They chase after those who've run away Speak when there is not a word to say And their greatest endeavor is to convert the innocent Hungry for the women striking young and brilliant Unbelieving of a lady's independence Sure that all women crave their presence Like rabid dogs, the proud men search For those to quench their undying thirst To be loved and accepted of men of the heart But these men only search in the emptiness of dark How can they deny the truth in their faces? They imbalance the world and its natural paces No one can love an arrogant, proud man But they search and search, yet they never understand That love is for those who are willing to fail

A few things for themselves, Convolvulus and coral, Buzzards and live-moss, Tiestas from the keys, A few things for themselves, Florida, venereal soil, Disclose to the lover. The dreadful sundry of this world, The Cuban, Polodowsky, The Mexican women, The ***** undertaker Killing the time between corpses Fishing for crayfish... ****** of boorish births, Swiftly in the nights, In the porches of Key West, Behind the bougainvilleas, After the guitar is asleep, Lasciviously as the wind, You come tormenting, Insatiable, When you might sit, A scholar of darkness, Sequestered over the sea, Wearing a clear tiara Of red and blue and red, Sparkling, solitary, still, In the high sea-shadow. Donna, donna, dark, Stooping in indigo gown And cloudy constellations, Conceal yourself or disclose Fewest things to the lover-- A hand that bears a thick-leaved fruit, A pungent bloom against your shade.

Reflected in Your Resplendence (Valentine's Challenge 4)
OLD HOUSE They retain precious memories, intimate feelings of inhabitants passing through its sagging doors. Romantic are seekers of forgotten times memories encased in hard wood floors; as lath plastered walls ooze remnants of a history while we; when inclined listen. We don't go very often, to abandon houses, perhaps on a dare, or at Halloween. Are we passed enjoying extremes into this another world, musty energy a curious child. That was the yesterday which now waits behind musty, dusty, derelict halls. I stand I stand at paint chipped banister, a faded worn carpet once carried dancing feet, children playing before they sleep. The broken coat tree on the floor. From the third floor murmuring, a wind storm jars loose fears, of time once lost to dreams. Echos billow from each room, curtains hanging yellowed by a sun where dancing light through holes in damask lace. Mice gremlin's artful droppings, tracks of nature on dirt strewn floor. Broken shards from window panes, confetti after New Years day. Branches scratched etched paths, tracks like graffiti on sill its unread words, a glif eerily cast shadows trigger echos from the past. Jagged memories protrude from every corner mixing with new, enriching our fantasies bringing us closer renewed; these musty memories long forgotten. Like waves rushing back; flooding a mind like broken dikes they crash into our world, Rembrandt's paintings on canvas fading. Silent footsteps outside a door, we hear laughter from bedroom walls; a smell a whiff of hot butter *** silent conversation coming our way. Old Doc Masters listened at my chest, as I read all by candle light, Sherlock detective stories or the Tell Tale Heart of Poe or Othello; all masters in the past. A Grandfather clock stands silent, keeping time, lost its tick yet still striking, it stands tall, upon a clueless floor. Knowledge lost to a past in a house so worn, births, deaths, wars, wrapped forgotten, encased by neglect, I visited a house besotted, neglected waiting to be remodeled into another century moving it to present times.

In sunshine or in shadow how rich the loamy soil light of earth, dream of rebirth greening lilac buds and bluebells ring magenta hills, aubretia spring of burning fire A mossy path of violets, soft my feet to wander muscari blue the garden dew birds to drink of leafy puddles bluest skies go grey, drifts so swift a rain cloud by to water quick the daffodil, silk umbrellas yellow and comes alas the greening grass robins hopping, weaving Spring unfurls in flowery births tiny violets upon the earth

My dad was the greatest of men I wish I would of gotten more time with him Time has sure done it's shading I hate to say his face is fading His voice has long ago slipped from my memory The sadness of that is sheer agony I miss you as much today As that sorrowful day you where taken away You left this world way to soon I still remeber that hospital waiting room I was to late, death had already greeted you I was only fourteen I didn't know what to do I stood there crying in my sisters arms I knew I would forever miss your fatherly charms As I stood beside your open coffin Tears spilling onto my dress, I felt like an orphan Knowing I would never again see you smiling face Your death was so hard to embrace It was a gray rainy day you where placed in the ground Setting under the cemetery tent no comfort to be found Thinking even the angels on high Could do no more than cry You had been my hero, I was a daddy's girl And my life from this point would do nothing but unfurl I was, and still am so lost without your presence I missed you at so many of my lifes great events At all of my children's births I thought of you first And how you would of beamed with pride At the thought I just cried But as my memory, with time harshly shades My love for you will never fade I carry you forever in my heart Like I was in yours from the start

~ *solstice = sun stopped; in the case of winter solstice, the moment when the sun ceases its journey northward from the earth’s equator and turns southward toward longer days; much like the journey our sun takes, love solstice then is that moment of arrest and redirect for one’s direction of travel in life... and in this, the moment a Sagittarian and Capricornian separated on two sides of the solstice, turn, collide and coalesce.* ~ hers, the waning side, winter's reprise, calls to the night, at height of eventide. his, on ebbing turn, the sun's reverse, together rise to step as one at winter's ball. their dance across the sky 'neath moonlit nights. two in love, in lockstep of the stars above, collide and coalesce, their waltz amidst the delicate pearls of a Milky Way stage! no more his lonely path among the stars; his heart she's swept, to never dance alone; her arrow sent with bow, piercing to the marrow, holds his life, his very soul. bold and daring, her voice of caring, soothes his troubled heart. he, her promise, calls to her adven’trous heart, two stepping toward a rising warming sun, in birth that spans the space and time between, forever now as one; this their solstice of love! ~ post script. *she (late Sagittarian) is the setting-sun-kissed, rain-misted huntress, he (early Capricornian) is the rising sun's icicled traveler.   mere days separating their arrival, though theirs could not be more varied.  their births under different signs; his in the wintry heartland, hers in the sun-kissed southwest; individually they are fire and ice, huntress and wanderer who together have captured, captivated each the other’s heart.  you’re not likely to see them separately, but when you do, it’s only briefly when resupplying their home, their hearth, their hearts. two making a most unlikely one, but oh so surprisingly, so beautifully passionate!*

Metamorphosis from the start of the day, January’s promises, had so much to say. The beginning of the cycle, to the end of the new. The remnant of the spring morning dew moves summer breeze into leaves of a green hue, and the Heartache of July. The sun rose and set with You, until it rained and the skies once again turned a somber shade of familiar blue. Metamorphosis of the self, turning like a snake. Shedding the skin of heartache and remaking myself, again. Metamorphosis I bloom and break, I wither and wake through the hardships of the year, taking a new found shape of me- The moon wanes and waxes, while the heart mends and sax’s continue to play sweet melodies from the month of May, and we are reminded of the day that breaks and dawns. The body yawns from the weight of the year. Yet still, the metamorphosis blooms and births a new beacon of light, preparing herself for the thirty-first night and the turn of the calendar, again.

Metamorphosis
This ******* I feel with my body, the relationships, my birth, my right, Has no meaning when you are by my side, The translucent light in your eyes brings me into a time, Of the many births I have taken to find myself in your arms, Today is such a day and as time stands still, I will glow in your skin, Your sweet smelling breath pours life into me, Our souls meet through our bodies, so we can dance this song of love, As I draw you in, then it begins I could hear it silently whispering, This is him. And then I feel eternity within me.
