Flowering like an African violet Onyx hair kinky with flair Only you can be brown beauty Thunder bold or teal shy soul So diverse in the universe Ties round head and neck Emerald green black red best Pride in your eyes your chest...

Silent footstep
A hex, a spell, a whispered barb A curse, a lie, a witches garb Behold the depth of darkness falls And closes in on these four walls The stone is cold beyond the touch The rats roam freely from the hutch The stench of vengeance fills the air A silent footstep on the stair The scent of overwhelming fear The sense of danger edging...

The Unwelcome
My countenance, a melancholy After strange footsteps possess our balcony, Close to my two-room apartment, Now limitlessly a source of contentment.. I do anxious listening, The hairs on my skin glistening; My ears coming alive, a-twitching: Those of an eavesdropper soon a-snitching. A near filtering of the snatched sound, As they keep gaining ground; The fullest conviction that they didn’t belong to a friend. Or...

Footstep Across the gray and stillborn face Earthlight beams in shafts of blue To follow sunlight into plains And ancient valleys in hide and see Played upon this place, A million years or more, Then bends around horizon’s sloping line To reach into the golden dawn It ever seeks just beyond The plane where light and dark Never meet.

Premium Member Crap Shoot Footstep
The game started a long time ago In the dark recess of unsure times On the board of wasteland unknown With quicksand pierced by cactus. The sky filled with storm clouds dismal Looked for the silver lining unformed Cast amoebic shadows drab and dubious On the dissolved light of horizon obscure. Veiled destiny had set the game for me I had to...

Each Footstep Free
My walk each day Takes me away Where I can stray My mind to play Each trek it seems Awakens dreams And thoughts to be —each footstep free (Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

Premium Member Where Every Footstep Cracks
WHERE EVERY FOOTSTEP CRACKS Walking on ice, where every footstep cracks Frozen toes in socks that once were warm Every snowflake on my frigid curls stack I never meant to do anyone any harm Every step I take, my disappearing feet Frozen toes in socks that once were warm I tried to speak, to see your face, to meet Your eyes, with contempt...
