Freetown didn’t decide to let this one slide One slide, the mudslide became so wild – So wild blessing overflowed into a curse. Curse, now they drowned before they drank. They drank their many nights into many days, Many days, many prints the mud’s taken away Away to not return, away is so unsure So […]

At first sight I gave a sigh. A sigh that burdened my relief My relief in figuring these figures Figures written in celestial calligraphy Celestial calligraphy on every page Every page of the galaxies Galaxies that glittered the heavens The heavens that holds the East-star. The East-star stood still waiting the Magi. The truth about […]

I write poetry to get paid Some use poetry to get laid. So they open up a maiden, Pluck and dump her flower in a basin. They listen as if they care Snapping fingers everywhere But the offering box stays empty, The crowd is allergic to a levy. The show is meant to be free, […]

For you, I’m strong enough to fall. Dear Delilah, shave them all. I agree to be weak and brave I’ll be your king and then your slave. You crack my fortress from its wall I know when my senses cave. I hate the love i feel. Goodbye is all i crave. How my temper falls […]

There’s something divine In the way these letters combine; Apple, box, carrots, Doves and proud parrots… And their meanings intertwine. Damian, Elena, Faran- These are places to be. Gregory, Hanks and Ian Taste like water from a sea. So while A stands for Art, B rows her Boat Until C wears a Coat. There are […]

Be still, hold your thought, write your feel. Say with ease The whispers that you please. Calm down Hush the the dust on ground. Feel well, listen to the doorbell. Ruddapoet ================================= To this day noise is king. Eyeballs have ceased to roll, from side to side to speak. Everything is now so loud. But […]
