sometimes…
just sometimes
I sit and wonder
water droplets
against the glass
twilight gloaming
ambrosia of love
so tough to hold
the walls of my heart
pressed in memories
between the pages
of a forgotten book
pictures in my mind
the long road home
I wonder …

like a steady stream
that percolate through my veins
I will continue

an unwanted portrait
erupt into life
painting a picture
our fervent
nirvana was
disturbed
*
who knows
the sheltered
emotions
behind the
brush
of a
painter
***
still
the rainbow
promises
tomorrow

dry tears on my cheeks
in silence and memories
on paper I bleed

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)
in roaming streams
of death’s journey
so much
more poignant
to lose a beloved
to the soundless
laugh of love
the scent of
your absence
with ravenous
desires
on mental shores
of solitude
*
my pain wears
the mask
of a virgin

clenching this dream
as I stagger towards
the maze of your fervor
and silence grow pregnant
where I long for your love
to turn my evanescent soul
and sculpture my heart
a dream within a dream
as our memories fade
where passion is the fire
♥
my silent heart within
as I write

stealing my senses
sing to me sweet surrender
the roots of passion

tranquil with myself
I am now an idealist
entwine my fantasy

Innuendo’s
in ante meridiem
whispers of the wind
through the eyes
of an innocent child
where I can dream
and capture the stars
visions of my youth
chasing butterflies
effervescent love
to laugh and sing
and write my song
*
the child in us
it somehow keeps us wild
it somehow keeps us free
