mimic thoughts
through my fingers
on paper
received by my soul
driven by how
you read my words
once dormant
then direction
*
reflection of you
and my words
suddenly
get wings
to fly

african rhythm
beat of my heart
I once was part
of her starlit night
the crescent moon
shining so bright
foreign language
whispering softly
my naked desires
in blazing fires
forever merging
on fertile ground
in true tradition
distant voices
lustrous glint
infinite love
ETERNALLY
part of me

My beloved Africa…how I miss thee
(Edited from 2010)
your silence
in a song lingers
teasing my senses
with ravenous allure
*
where I move you
to the hidden corners
of my thoughts
trying to hide you
between the pages
of my aching heart
in which I daily muse
my spirit
moving back and forth
to the tired body
of a crucified cosmos
the endless quest
trying to avoid
or is it an illusion
your picture not fading
in vain, I remain
***
this wheel of hope
keeps teasing
while
your silent song
still lingers

at the crossroads of thought
reflection takes flight within
journey’s through floating seas
held into the depth of night
sing to me this heart of soul
embraces of desires subdue
quenching heating fevers
giving all of myself to you
unite your words of wisdom
shelter the gates of my heart
hold these ardent promises
honoring truth to never be apart
sing to me sweet carnal arrest
infuse this inner fire of love
*
let me kiss these flaming desires
and show you where love begins
***
as time weaves
upon the canvas
of my emotions
