"quagmire" poems
I just stood transfixed, letting her eyes light the smothered wick in me that needed the oil of love with  anxious stutter I asked, "Is your name Grace?" "It really is, you are right there, but pardon me I am Grace Fallen" I took it as a joke and smiled, "Dear fallen flower, your grace resurrects my crucified spirit" I have seen them all, blooms, perfect, fragrant, the ones that catapult one to momentary bliss with a wink,  a word that touches somewhere tender or share love, fresh like butter, that seems gushing from the depth that not even  expect any kind of reciprocation, blowing like fragrant  breeze, caressing drooping trees. Women with such luminance ,bless their ilk whom one only could think as incarnates came down  to lift this miserable world up from the quagmire, the ***** pit  it has fallen because of the absence of feminine grace in abundance

Feminine Grace
How can I be myself if you are my vampire? I can never sleep at night. The windows won’t stay closed. You come and go as you please when I am in my pajamas, such as they are A tee shirt and underpants You are always trying to mesmerize me But it is you who is really Always you Who can blame you? It must be complete torture to look at me And feel me But never possess me If you could only eat me. If you were my Siamese twin I would **** you Can you imagine? I would hack you off with no qualms Or saw slowly, it doesn’t much matter Even if I bled out You are a quagmire. An existence always with you You knowing me better than I know myself Listening to my thoughts Stealing everything and thinking it’s yours I am not you And you are not me We are not a we I am not the key to your survival You, a peculiar abscess That faces me and holds a conversation That wants to do this or that The endless talking. The windows closed The heavy curtains drawn Me in my underwear I’d watch you while you slept Thinking about crosses and solutions

Revenge of the Creature
The Syrian process is a serial problem When the disenfranchised Cause a landslide Of historical hatred The key that ignites Business and commerce Wildfire hearts And boiling skin The harsh outbreak of deadly cholera The blockade of the forceful armada The coalition forces Run wild like horses The bombs keep falling The people cry The engine keeps stalling The car dies The white phosphorus Brought by the white prosperous Can burn to the bone And wounds can ignite up to three days later But the people of Raqqa Are used to reigniting scars They're used to searing flesh That melts like tar Where this will go No one knows how far Machines must be sustained Hearts will be untamed Lives constantly rearranged A human rights activist attempts to send a report What he's witnessed in Raqqa Injustices; perceived and objective But Hellfire Turns the Internet cafe Into a senseless violence display The dirt, blood, and bodies Mixed and spread like the art That was ignored to lead to this quagmire Whether this calamity started At the Melian dialogue Or a market diagram Or a martyr's diatribe What we need now is an m.d. to suture the wounds But who will save us? When noble protectors are blown up And the reigniting scars scorch the hands that heal

On my way to work, Whenever I pass through The Holy Trinity church, After a brief prayer, The tombstone of a martyr My eyes never fail to search As his eulogies sensitive cords Are sure to touch! I admire The tombstone’s design A flickering torch, Whose tongue Is the  martyr ’s statue, That talks loud his virtue! “Holy Trinity Till I crossed the river of death Allegedly, striped of my health, Poisoned by evil doers, Who hanker By unfair means To amass wealth, I had been A public servant Adherent to my faith! ” “Holy Trinity To abide by Your commandment- Don’t steal- Was my desire Also to pull out   millions From poverty’s quagmire. Across the board development Working better than one's best Efficient resource utilization Also drew my attention! " “Holy Trinity A generation To corruption averse Is all-out The bad scenario In my country To reverse.   A generation  for A developmental ****** That has lust. I have come to understand The coming up of Many a lass and lad, Whose rights that  demand I need no more reward, When in front of you This way I stand Justice to demand! ” Children of Oromia, Ethiopia’s elephantine branch, You have to detach Your state, your country From the impudent And the corrupt That still exercise The outmoded Colonizers’ Divide and rule As a fool . A corruption fighter Development’s workforce Is also a hero Like Ethiopia’s Valorous and dear sons Balcha Abanefso Geresu Duke,Abdisa Aga And Jagama Kelo. Children of Oromia Giving to divisive guys A deaf ear, You should hold your Country Ethiopia, A cradle of mankind And civilization, dear Do not forget Adding up Is the current road map Evil doers Killing a hero Could not bring The change drive To zero. As a poet what I can say “Evil doers Stop to opt for Devilish way! But if you Keeping going astray You will go To the grave in Ignominious way!”//

Rainy day people and frogs Packed New York streets, mossy bogs Umbrella or bumbershoot In quagmire and crowded route Splashing masses, polliwogs Precipitation, cascade The alley or everglade Plebeians and ***** toads Wetlands, winding back roads Holding brolly or sunshade Mobs, croaker in the wallow Soggy marsh, bypass below A sprinkle, pitter-patter Parasol, doesn't matter Your bullfrog and average Joe

In The Rain
i. the Hibiscus is the paradisiacal armistice of quagmire and wind: leave it there anchored to Earth. ii when it rains, it bows to no one; when it genuflects to no bird,   it trills on the red of the moseying hour— nobody sees the Hibiscus.   only the children of the vandal. iii. last summer we had makeshift bubble machines and in the high-rise   of the twilight's cradle, we ran viciously against the humdrum town   blowing bushels of laughter at the dreary populace — the brooms   to a sweeping rustle, unsettled dust mounting the ether.          we hurtled across the infantile roads like they owed us something finitely attributed      to our locomotives. iv.   the Semana Santa had gone by and the season, no matter how promisingly redolent with emollient brush    of wind and laboring silence, held no reprise — the Hibiscus,    it is not alone in the quiet verdigris. v.   somewhere amid the hubbub of city, there is a pendulum of line biting    the shore of waiting repeatedly. only steel scaffolds erected and no    flagrant scent aroused. peregrinating in the haloed hour, the nascent furl of     belch from vociferous iron-clad beasts in all of EDSA    and when i look at people around me they look like gumamelas, finally,     yet i am         not coming home.

Great Deception
One of the most humorous conditions that a creature could burden itself with is a somnambulant desire to be to it’s own liking . Maxillary extrapolation although a positive political expectorant is likewise a practical partiality . I prefer to  be philanthropically phenological although rational impedance is my histophysiology .  My present participle is practical pragmatism and tertiary transcendentalism .  Xenoplasticly speaking I feel alone but plausibility is a probationer in reflective self awareness .  Atrociously impetuous I proceeded amidst heinously horrendous heckledom .  Adequate inflection is a relevant relative to retaliatory regression but I digress .  Paraphernalia is a practitioner to plausibility’s cause and should be assimilated through cognizance  not perfunctory preferentialism . Hegelian humanitarianism must supersede political subterfugalism or all may be lost in quagmire .

Rushing River The water rolls past the chain of rocks Studded steps stand single file Principles holding against the flood a mighty fortress Evil thoughts swirling down through the mind At the river’s edge the reeds bow Marshes tangled with shoots and flattened weeds Rich grasses carpet all in all bounty abounds The earth benefits water given free course this guarantees its purity Be quick to walk into the swirling spiritual waters your purity the sacred word is the water The natural shore a poisoning quagmire Work on the shore a duty but for life come to the spirit to barter The world’s biggest beggars have false wealth it keeps them from true riches Fruit is delicate with excess ripeness the result inedible Riches of the spirit or any endeavor needs proper care and management Without wisdom you become filled with hollowness The river contains the richest soil and never will spoil your life So come to the head waters of the heavenly tributaries Drink your fill over the land you will flow and spill Drought scorched hearts you can fill Their destiny a heavenly ocean fulfilling every emotion of being excepted and loved

Back in the days of Vietnam We said: “Make Love, not war.” No matter how many Cong we killed Like Doritos, they made more. Walter Cronkite helped keep score as the toll grew ever higher. Foes relentless as the monsoon rains They made Nam a quagmire. We killed them all three times at least Surely all of them were gone. Then shortly after we had left They turned up in Saigon! Now we’re in a forever war without a likely winner. A pity we can claim a draw And bring the boys home for dinner.

We all know that life can thrive in the most inhospitable of places.                                              Plants grow from volcanic soil.                                              Bioluminescence crawls beneath                                                immense pressure on the ocean floor.                                              Microbes most likely thrive below the icy,                                                         radioactive surface of Europa. We all know that life—love—perseveres.                                                                             It’s nothing new. But we don’t talk about                                             how ******* hard that actually is.   That’s what the strengths perspective is for.   What resilience gives name to.   But what if I don't want to?  What if,                                                                   for today,                                                                                      I’d rather the **** not?   Is that okay?                           Is that allowed?   That today I'm the vinca vine dying on the ledge?   Withered up and not drinking any more water.   Today, I am every succulent that I’ve ever accidentally killed.   Today, I am excess formaldehyde.  I am a brain floating in a bell jar,                         undulating in an existence that is an ethical quagmire. Today, I am in limbo.  Purgatory.  Stasis and static.   Suspended upside down in a frozen wasteland, Dante style.   Tomorrow, I will thaw.                                   Rise from the soil fist first.

Mercenary mendacity's plenary plenipotentiary. Innocuous noumenal verity, mystic symbiotic’s chicanery dynamism fealties. Proximity parameter’s perimeter peripherals, vicinity victuals to vigilante villain, propinquity habitation’s harbingers of harangued. The question remains on the tribal: how can I stand next to the person I’m standing next to if I’m carrying on right through them. It’s the trajectory extant in spatiotemporal's telemetry tactician. Well graspy greedy on the stingy frugal to mingy minion and paw flaw laws claws on it. Get a glove, objectified manifest’s diminutive minutia iota’s of self-inductive interstitial extrapolation. Detinue perfective. Traveling down this obtusely overt contusion in my vehicular contrivance convection convolution. Nimbus nimiety exorcism’s aura roan to rainbow mare. Unicorn railway nails. Swarthy swastica swath swizzles on the sweaty swelter swerve to verve.

Astral Projection's Existential Hubris
Distance traveled time spent's dynamic progressiveness, existentially transcendental's clairaudience clairvoyance. Metaphysical mystique’s evolutionally metamorphic futurity's fatidic incarnate. Due yesterday’s retrospectively retroactive. Protractive analysis' dimensional delineation. Enigma entity’s dexterously tactile acuity and coordinated agility on the identity crisis. Cerebral cortex’s ****** matrix to synaptic syntax semantics. Prospectus perplexity surreally sublime. Quagmire quandary’s poshly plush. Who am I to think I can conception of the infinite supply? Even the syntactics of eclectic synectics pale by compare to the atrociously impetuous impudence in pugnaciously audacious. Impromptu innuendo's juncture. Imagination’s immaturities are psychic clarity’s entelechy to evolutional tenants élan vital. Fiduciary principle's financially responsible fiscal policies. Mercenary mendacity's plenary plenipotentiary. Innocuous noumenal verity, mystic symbiotic’s chicanery dynamism fealties.

*Blow, winds, blow He wanders in and out of dream scapes, Seeking refuge from the nameless ache, The burn of a thousand cloudless days. The tumbleweed of his joy blows in the dunes of neglect, Vaguely rooted in the sands of discontent. Blow, winds, blow! Shift the sand beneath his feet, Tumble him to the river of rejoice, Where his seeds can bury deep In the fertile soil of complete.* Walk on, Lonely Pilgrim Would that you would go a spell further, Fight a round harder, walk a mile longer, Perhaps you will see the clear waters, The soaring vistas, the spring flowers. Sandstorms blind your eyes and sting your throat, Your music lost into the wind. Walk on, lonely pilgrim, Walk on, and meet me In the green valley, It's just 'round the bend. I've a song to play for you! Welcome Song for the Weary Traveler With unsure steps, tread the ground, Gaze out with open eyes. Cast away all fear and doubt. Let the music sing your soul! This river will wash your bedrock, Polish the rough stones of your longing, Flow away your worried mind. When this love-seed settles in the soil of your heart, Your rose will bloom, in fertile field, Where nightingale warbles its melodious tune. Lay down your head upon alfalfa pillow, Let the music take you high, Where daffodil dreams and mystic streams Sing you sweetest lullaby. Now close your eyes and feel the pull This song, the lodestone to your heart, Drawing out your own sweet tune. Hear gentle clouds that roll on by, Smell sweet the scented breeze in sky, Feel the love, Let go, Now fly Lonely Pilgrim Dreams The lonely pilgrim fell asleep on his pillow of dreams, As minstrel sung songs that floated on air. He struggled to wake from his trance like state, As he found himself deep in the quagmire of regret, Wondering how he had found himself Wandering in green valleys, How he had been so easily lulled to sleep. He wondered, too, if dreams are ever real, And what he would see at morning's light. Minstrel sang on, into the night, Singing all good things into his heart, Breathing love into his pillow, Playing for light, Playing the tune of her heart strings that night. She was not sure what song she sang anymore, But wanted to sing, And sing some more.

Och, you and your divine shape   How beautiful you are to me      You drive me wild with want   I simply cannot master you!      You are oft'times hard to get   But nary shall I quit you      Tune my heartstrings up a notch   Fret forever, I try to get it right      You quiver exquisite at my touch   A ravishing delight to my ravenous senses      Would you GIVE a STAR for my attempts   Don't over tease my nerves to distraction!        I slave intense o'er you, day and night   Yes, you're the one with the hold on me      Look at the inevitable shape I'm in   All 'cause-a you and your curvy shape!      The airline broke your sister's neck   Yah mon, I cried, mah Lord. I all but died, ha!      Caught in a quagmire of deep distress   You, my comely cutaway, pegged me up again.      Love to cradle you on my eager lap   My arms around in close embrace      A gentle, organic creature, such as you   I dare not grip you hard at all.      My fingertips so acquainted with your girth   Your rosette rings out my notes with charm.      Enchanting me with deep nuance   Without trying, she pleases so!      The sole bridge 'tween the world and me   My subtle love, only my Valencia.....   S T,  04 Avril 2013
