Tamikio L. Dooley


The Glass Book


I inscribed poetic language in the glass book

They are works of art

And for an eternity of joy

They created music for deaf ears

Subsequently, open up within a melodious harmony

I inscribed poetic rhymes in the glass book

They are the foliage on the trees

And promptly spread love

Until…

They wither…

Away…

I etched poetic expressions in the glass book

A sound mind

And grateful heart

Those are the doctrines of the glass book




In the Prairie


In the prairie

I settle upon the grass in terms of the very light hearted day

I inhale the flowers and dandelion,

The sweet bouquet of my youth 

My colleagues and my wisdom

When the twilights

I carry the prairie at midnight upon my heart

In my bed

I toss and turn

With the prairie on my heart

What a joyful midnight!

The raising of the dawn

 I look forward to accompanying my wisdom

In the prairie

Upon my soul

I envy for the days is long

So I could fall asleep on the prairie

I yearn for a soothing song

So I can listen to the gentle rustling

Of the autumn

But again

When the twilights

I have merely My heart 

To the Dreams of

The prairie

In the prairie

I summon no

Mournful, melancholy

Song

If the Midnight May Be


If the midnight may be

It is of something delightful in my mouth

If the midnight may be

I understand the voice of  the angelic 

If the midnight may be

That strange man

Who experiences to embrace me?

He experiences to embrace me

If the midnight may be

I heard the man

Cry out his affection to me

In the land of bounty

I heard his heavy cry

Not to discredit me

If the midnight may be

Shall I run elsewhere with him?

With the strange man

Who loveth me?

If the midnight may be
