Forever Sonnets (Poetry Blog)

Drench with my bloody tears Once more like before,  Your gaze twisted me Into the widow moans Your craving gleams me Like a flash to dawn dew I am no longer mine to self Devoured my being cell by cell I behold you in more and less Your fractured me, left wrecked Call not Smith or carpenter My cure lies in oneness of two!  My longing is not ethereal Not that world is nasty about I tweet beyond the metaphors Beyond the breath and death.  My fasting never ends I need neither bowls nor barrels I am thirty for love And hungry for my beloved.  ~Ummi

Closed Door Metamorphosis This day ripens in persimmon shadow apple of maturity traps coat and tie defying warnings of prude stilettos         In the middle of confession room,         crash my towering fear         let me float in flowing rhythm         of your heartbeat, my sanctuary Grey office lit tangerine embers eyeglasses shelter in mahogany closet auburn hair cascades tracing shoulders         In the mysticism of wine dusk         cradle my cocoon in gentle rhyme         recite mantra for poetic dance         in the aroma of cinammon delight The table watches swaying swivel chair hugs shedded garments of braided boughs tossed in storms of butterfly awakening           Open dark portal to magical maze           find me in glowing pivotal sphere     ...

I hail thee Africa 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 I hail thee Africa For standing tall  When they thought You will be bedridden I hail thee Africa For being ever green And not falling down Withered leaves Even when it looks like You were almost finished I hail thee Africa For gritty gathering Every piece of you That have been sliced in pieces I hail thee Africa For raising more Prominent kids Out of what is referred to as the the valley of corruption I hail thee Africa!  For teaching us The cultural songs of love and dignity That's our weapons Against all odds.  All hail Africa!  For she refuses to lose hold  Even when she's  been brain washed That they can never be a better tomorrow I hail thee Africa! I hail thee again! I hail thee!!!!!!!!!!!!!            @Justina              2/12/2021
