Trapped underground

I am trapped underground by the woman playing "that" trumpet
I am trapped underground by the bleakness of her song
I am trapped underground by the almost tranquil sadness of her resonance
I am trapped underground by the eccentricity of her air
I am trapped underground by her mystifying presence
I am trapped underground because i am in all entirety bewitched by her

I am trapped underground because I saw a woman of Aboriginal appearance
I am trapped underground because i heard her song
I am trapped underground because her music left me aroused with want
I am trapped underground because I swam in the whiteness of it's melody
In the ambience of perfection

I am trapped underground because the woman who lavished upon me the legacy of music
The woman who spoke to me with quiet precision
I have clumsily rebuffed
rebuffed not premeditated
premeditated out of timidity
timidity of bestowing
bestowing hard cash
hard cash upon the busker
busker who's melody
(melodious sadness)
sadness caused by a
a sea of tumultuous anxiety
anxiety threatening my very being
a being now trapped underground
underground because
because the busker
my object of fixation
has vanished
vanished at a time
time made timeless
by a black woman's resolve
a resolve to give back to the hand
a hand lost
lost in time...

Double Identity

I once knew of a little girl with such big dreams and wide imagination, Everything she read she willed to being the first time she left the little town of her birth She traveled to a land far away from the troubles that ailed her family from the troubles that ailed her she walked on streets made of gold She traveled to countries that made her heart dance and although she’d never seen them before, in her mind they were familiar no people or race was alien to her but one day she was forced to see she was different she was forced to see her dark skin and hear her heavy accent she was forced to see her afro hair and her religion she was forced to see the shameful past that surrounded her people And although they tried to bury her in shame She destroyed their expectations and blazed a new path for herself. 

Forever Love

Its almost unimaginable that a person can love you forever and ever, flaws and all. I guess I'm just not that much of an idealist. Its one of those things that sounds almost too good to be true. The love that can never be broken. The devotion that no power, no circumstance can pull apart. The world is full of divorcing couples who vowed "for better or worse" and now, cannot stand the sight of each other. The world is full of mothers who ditch their kids and run, who sexually abuse, prostitute and even murder their children. That was the real world. The world i live in. A life full of hurt, pain, disappointment, uncertainty, hatred and angst. Isn't forever love the kind of love that exists between pets and its owners, children and their parents? Its a much more simple...almost desperate kind of love. It doesn't care so much about what i look like, what my voice sounds like, it doesn't care whether i like toasted sandwich for dinner and KFC chicken for breakfast...

The lady at the counter

I am fuming with rage, anger, resentment, malice...(is there any other word to describe the fire that is threatening to erupt my very being?) I had a pretty rough day today, although this is not the reason i am this provoked. Well why should i? Why would anyone be angry if their youngest brother spends $100 from their credit card despite giving them the permission to spend $23! This matter was solved of course, however, this current state of mind is directed at Australia's retail giant Big W. Technological advancement is at its peak as we all know. In fact, it has gotten so good that I'm toying with the idea of buying me a sexy robot man if ever i become available :). Since Technology has become this unstoppable force, why is it that each time you leave a store, they ask to search your bag. This is the most humiliating aspect of shopping i must confess. I have the most horrible hand bag to look in you see, however, i just love the feeling of walking straight up to security and ...
