Surrogate-Surrogate
I want to properly cover you;
Stand before you in Father’s truths;
One day I will write the,
perfect song for you;
And the author Jehovah Jireh;
Together Elohim and I;
Will co-write beautiful sonnet;
~
I write just for you;
So you can sing them to me,
in the presence of Jubilee;
This too I write co written to you;
Be this I...

Friends
friends make you feel good
they bring you a smile during cold spells
and a blanket of warmth for your soul
friends pull you up when life drags you down
they bring you out of your shell
when you're refusing to step out
friends bring out the sun on a cloudy day
they cheer you up when you want to cry
friends remind...

Unintended Innuendo
Line of inquiry:
“as we passed her she did wilt
which caused in us sense of guilt
since our stance perhaps did cause
to put her heart’s joy on pause
though we’re gentle, not hostile
we diminished her soul’s smile
since our aura as she viewed
scent of love did not exude”
While springtime presses in on my thoughts,
forcing me to believe that even...

Darling bud of May and first audience2025.5.01
Thursday, first day of May.
It has been 6 months since
I played songs from a different language,
So far I did only 8. Only two since the start of the year.
On 17 March this year,
I was at the library, waiting for JC,
To return his book as I promised.
I ended up meeting someone else instead.
Since then, I had...

THE PRISMATIC SELFIn the hall of mirrors, I lose my face
A maze of reflections, each one a different shade
Of truth and lies, of light and darkest space
I search for the real me, but it's hard to stay
The judges' voices whisper, "Not enough"
A litany of doubt, a choir of rough
Hands that shape and mold, yet can't define
The contours...

Passion FruitRain down on me like
A sinful summer storm
Sticky as sap hard
as brown tree
Stir me with your silver words
Shiny seductive and secretive
Boiling my inner thighs
Causing cranberry cries
Hotter than a red July
Fill me with your denim dreams
Rough and rugged for wearing
Your seed bearing genes
Perhaps with my smile
And your eyes ebony wild
Dance with...

since our stance perhaps did cause
to put her heart’s joy on pause
though we’re gentle, not hostile
we diminished her soul’s smile

Recordance - Apr 30A slivered moon is looming peacefully
above the pristine glow of golden dusk,
bathing in a navy sky,—me?, I bask
in her gush of seraphic majesty.
A careful look, cast in serenity,
reveals the silent shadow of her disk;
the sunless face wears a dark veil. Her mask
gazes upon me,—in return, I see
the full splendor of her...

PEERSIn halls of learning, we gather round,
Peers united, common ground is found.
Shared laughter echoes, memories made,
Together we grow, our bonds are displayed.
With every step, we learn and share,
Supporting each other, without a care.
In times of need, they lend a hand,
A friendly nudge, to help us stand.
Through trials and tribulations, we face,
Peers by our side, a...

CascadesGiants creep through disguised as trees.
Tiptoeing by the ancients asleep underneath.
A deep slumber echoes from the ground.
A blanket of silence filters the sound.
The mist rolls in and the forest takes a breath.
A crow takes flight and comes to a rest.
This mossy rock becomes my throne
In the center of my newly found home.
My spirit wanders, and...

Ekphrasis on Vivaldi's Spring
a vivacious veil of violin
awakens the sleepy field~
the sky breaks into birdsong
and as tulips stretch wide
I behold petals pirouette
kissed by the morning sun
as rhythms rise~
celestial scents fill the air,
whilst the breeze
brushes her almond cheeks
that bloom on first of May
and as the cadence softens,
I hear Spring’s susurrus laughter
in cascading notes of effulgence~
Oh, my soul...

Sightseeing at HomeMy husband and I love to travel
And in cities we like to explore –
Museums and zoos
And places with views,
Plus gardens and markets galore.
We wander down street unfamiliar;
Try restaurants that we don’t know
And sometimes we chat
About where we’re all at
With some locals we’ll meet as we go.
Yet today, a few subway stops took us
To a cool...

Wonderful WorldSometimes life is a lot
on those days,
it is hard to be an optimist
Today was one of those days,
a doctor's appointment, tests,
and then a little drama thrown in
But then, a simple greeting from
a young neighbor and his
sweet smile, reach out and touch my heart
Going on my daily walk, I take the time to
appreciate the...

Twenty years elapsed since Harriet Harris, nee Kuritsky gave up the ghost May 5th, 2004Twenty years elapsed since Harriet Harris, née Kuritsky gave up the ghost ~ May 5th, 2004
Often these days
the following genuine sentiment
Matthew Scott Harris
doth wish to share one son,
cuz twenty years after mother succumbed
courtesy of terminal illness
that ravaged her body.
I still reckon how yours truly
shrugged off proffering
tender loving care
within whose womb,
this sole prodigal son wannabe born,
