"Natty Congo"
Colours, draped over backgrounds
greesn, yellows, and browns;
setting suns cooling
turns to twilight’s settling down;
rhythm's islands, Jamaican
sounds round and round;
tones aflame in nature’s evenings,
time’s stress quietly drowned.
Singing’s standard,
Rasta’s beat woos this crowd;
stations handled, tickets sold,
‘Ja’ praised, no doubts;
vibration’s soothe;
minds, hearts, and souls tones tout;
travels’, they’re past,
survivals mete; unto 'Ja' we shout.
Stage sounds, resound to heaven’s highs,
ah, the music’s sweets;
plays loud, does the reggaes’ heat,
‘Natty Congo’, pride’s spirits beat;
centered scene, light’s night,
rhythm’s sound, soul’s teeth;
tight, this band, five men aloud,
the crowd’s heart, toe’s tapping feet.
Flowing on, the reggae builds,
into life’s energies surreal;
music, blessed through Ja’s kiss,
the setting sun, life’s deal;
Ja’s message, outs men’s hardened hearts,
its taste his highest seal;
supreme this mark; full rhythm’s torch
in sounds, ‘Natty Congo’s’ word is real.

My life,
bleeds into the well of this pen;
its point to skin,
life’s caustic sin;
at loss, this connection,
this humble zest for living,
in evening’s cool,
becomes time’s twilight lust.
Beneath, your turgid midnight flesh,
is where I laid,
my strength’s divide;
alas, the will refused heart’s surge,
its shape reflects,
life’s gentle touch in love;
such my vision wants…

Inspired by the works of Malaya Roses

Midnight’s full, and one’s expressions gleam,
shade thoughts tomes known, and this enlightened write;
upon, one’s raspy lie coated tongue,
wile’s entry toward, lust’s searing words relent.
Life’s twisted, sneering, closed leer lip lisps,
slide off, this love’s caustic verbal lashing;
flowing, from our joining’s true demean,
midst fraudulent and shrilling anguished moans.…

To Voice Anew so Listen
by Michaelw1two
Ask of each individual,
in questioning voice do so speak;
what do you hear in mind,
serenity, or shriek of cacique;
scowls light ire in many,
rushed breath blows up physique;
faces pall in anger,
response is bleated speech oblique.
Spite filled hiss responses spew,
as each mind arrogates;
unbeknown in every mind,
a copiousness of soul alligates;
on bent ear minds mourn,…

Epistemology
by Michaelw1two
At some distance in mind’s view,
cued intelligence prompts time’s stooge;
precisions virilis Mala swayed,
by one, imaging humanity’s sordid stool;
concise trompe L’ oeil,
wryly hides conspectus, amidst the hunter’s stew;
culmination, truth’s supra known of few,
it is not sensed by callus fools.
Consensus shown, to wit this known,
both fool and sage clown obtuse;
balancing fiction and or fact,…
