Meeting Out Side The Garden

Eve and Mary stopped to review, man and womans role, obligation placed


At the gate they stood
Wrapped fingers and mind
Each with an understood
Holding the fate of mankind

Thoughts jumped stages divine
Woman must still take the burden
Raise the child in constant pain
Soul ripped from the owner

See the window in the mist
Both given a heavenly kiss
One created the other born
So much they share talk alone

From the tips of wonder
Age and strife in mind and life
Two of the rest to wonder
Which was the cut which the knife

Skin burned by the sun
Each looks at the other
Who was the lucky one
Savor the moment of questions

Loved by both
the father and the son
who will falter
man or woman

They laugh together
holders of the love
soft and gentle rests
the dove

Their lines see the role
Each takes the burden
Each comforts a soul
Woman caries the pain

From the garden
To the cross
Hearts break
But love is not lost

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
