Hey, J-Zee
When you gonna see
Ed-u-cation is the key
We don’t all need
A D-gree
What we want
Is capa-city
To live a life
No strife
Don’t you see
Take our pride
Let us decide
Give us the tools
We not fools
Give us the chance
To sing and dance
Kanye West and Dr Dre
Will let us play
We B A for Away

Falling into Poetry

.

Falling into the arms of darkness,

Stilling my mind,

Distant dreams all but forgotten,

In the buSY-ness of life.

Taking a break,

Sharpening my brain,

Poetry underlies my every thought,

Inspires my every reflection, conception;

Creating in rhyme or rhythm

Feeds my very soul

And if it were forbidden

I would be far from whole.

Dancer in the Mist

* Edited

.

A study in greys, the lake and the trees,

She appeared in the haze, swirls of mist in the breeze,

A phantom, unreal, like a dream, a part of the scene.

She danced and entranced as, gliding gracefully,

She drew closer and closer with each sweep

Of her feet, until gradually she stopped

Within reach of his arms, outstretched to touch

This vision of beauty. But she wasn’t there –

Naught but the cold damp air.

In the Rough

.

The ground has shifted

And I am in the rough

My aim is the same

Approach from a different direction

Altered by an added perception

An introspection

I am bogged down by magma

Surrounded by lava

Inspiration has become perspiration

And I can no longer fly

My bird’s eye view

Is now that of a centipede

My steed is a millipede

As I crawl along

Without a song

The rough patch a sticky stretch

To overcome

And stun and numb

The Edge

A Mute Swan spreads its wings

.

Standing on the edge of the world

i look out into the void

one move from me

and i’ll be history

so

i unfurl my wings

and gently

glide

back

to

Shadow People from the Past

~

Cloudy memories,

Becoming more fragile with the passing of time,

Take on a delicate flimsiness

And the people who were once so real

Become shadow people,

Glimpsed through the drapes

Shrouding the windows to the past.

Wings of the Wind

 .

On the wings of the wind

I fly through the sky

and the wings of the wind

raise me up to the high-

est point of the blue

so I’m nearer to You.

 .

I’m removed from the cares

and my earthly fears

when I float in the rare

ambience of the air

while my dream is refined

on the wings of the wind.

The Dream 2

.

Birds abound

Strewn around

On the ground

They don’t cry

Mute acceptance in their eyes

Too little air

The trees are bare

The drought severe

Grass seeds depleted

The birds are defeated

They cannot fly

Exhausted they lie

Too tired to try

The Dream

.

Wild horses scream across my dream,

Dust puffs from their hooves

Rise from the arid ground,

Rolling eyeballs red with blood,

Foam flecks flying from their mouths,

Shapes shift in short shrift,

Clouds move and meld as I watch

There in the ozone God’s own movie show.
