Cairo _ new poetry April 2026
Cairo
A song carried me to Cairo
Who was I to marry tomorrow
Notes πΆ with wings upon I go
But it was just Cleopatra’s ghost
She clamored to be an international host
I was no Mark Antony
And maybe had some mutiny’s
Because no one is king
People worship no- thing
Sand through your hand
Listen to a peace plan
The River Nile flows
Civilization grows

Slanted Sunlight _ #new #poem March2026 ☀️ πΆπΉπ☀️
Slanted Sunlight
(Inside your head)
There are 23 choices
Two or three wooden doors
You hear collective voices
A familiar theme before
Outside the house in Sun
Opening the shed for fun
Morning promise is bright
Standing in glory of light
Everyone you've ever known
Leads to a labyrinth of prayer
A reflection of everything shown
Love uninterrupted on a conveyer
Mid morning with no shoes
Drinking your cold coffee
Thinking of shades of blues
Grateful it's all there to see
The slanted golden sunshine ☀️
With its illuminating rays
Elevates your frame of mind
As colors appear in different ways
Thankful for this time of day

Listen to My Heart _ new poetry March 2026
Listen to My Heart
Listen to my heart
Sing a prayer for you
I'm not gonna say
Too much
Because it means more
Than words
When I act this way
To show how
Much I care
I care more
And more
Each day
And for you
My heart it prays
Listen to my heart
Sing a prayer
For you

Poisonous Beauty _ new poetry March 2026
Poisonous Beauty
It's not a pretty cherry
It's a kind, make you sick
She sure looks like a cutie
A belle named Tootie Fruity
But her bite, worse than a tick
Paid good money, took a trip
Took a plane, took a ship
But the advertising, was a trick
A TV Star with a cheap gimmick
Slick sheiks, snakes, oil & gold
Belly dancers, silk, & story told
Looks beautiful, tastes like mold
Smells delicious but already sold
There's no poison in your eyes
They know no evil, know no lies
A life of truth not for a prize
That feeling the sun will rise

Mr. MoJo Risin _ new poetry March 2026
Mr. MoJo Risin
He's coming around
Headed to town
Down the Oklahoma City Line
It's tornado alley time
Her grandmother is Creek
She likes when he speaks
Deer skin boots and skirt
And his denim cowboy shirt
She gives him wampum
He gives them music
Language of mountains
Sky, water, birds
Herds to be heard
With your ear to the ground
Colorful vibrations of sound

“That Black Man” _ original 1990’s poetry
"That Black Man"
You know that black voice crying in the inner light?
Her humbleness and pride decentralizing because of dehumanization
soliloquizing to the world in the name of nihilistic solipsism on his dusty wooden floor while he picks a splinter out of his barefoot
A lit candle attacking the night singing a fatalists delight
You know that black man
who cries in the distance?
that black man
no name
just that black man
cold bitter nights and blistering sorrows knows him just the same
As that black man someone living life
smiles and humbly without a name
however unfortunate
playing the game
that black man
that lucky black man.
