In Africa, South Africa, inhabitants bend low and run indoors for safety from the pelting rain but after the turn-off the sun shines down again and we forget the trauma of sodden outerwear. In Africa, South Africa, we simply must forget for remembrances produce a long-term problem and it costs everyone about twenty-years of life [...]

The midday report can’t speak of a dream or announce a most beautiful love and the world at six by omission embeds the idea of denial. And welcome to the eight o’clock news that word by word encourages crime to bang the nails into dream chests and bury what really could be. I thrive on [...]

Seconds, minutes, hours, and time merges them together until day gives way to night and I walk the shadowed halls of each weakness I possess. Night comforts and caresses like a lover’s gentle hands and I stir within a dream frightened there to see love walks a lonely path beyond my mental feel. Wakeful now, [...]

In form like the sun’s rise before fall she dreams of love’s fire licking at sky and dances her heart, openly, unafraid, like a passionate gypsy on a hot summer’s night. “Come! Feel the burn of this energy!” she sings to no one and to everyone as her body in sync with involuntary action gyrates [...]

The gifted, the wise, the pastors, the wives, the noblemen, preachers, and poor humble beings, turn feelings to words in attempts to describe the emotion of love, if there such a thing be.

Reality is born from integrated minds in eager response to energetic growth and experimental life its enlightenment. I, the forsaken, vehicle of all knowing and vessel of emotion, provide the tuck and stitch for reality’s survival while threads of personality entwined and combined lend authenticity to its existence. Reality’s obedience to mind’s every whim, no [...]
