unity of two souls
now a distant thought
dwindling in and out
my soul the clavier
your words the keys
almost like writing a play
as you strike that note
of hopes and desires
waiting to be inspired
all alone in the dark
yearning for a spark
to play that magic
song of the heart
two souls united
never to be apart
*
and I
need you now

mirror of feelings
my lugubrious essence
drift, flit, run – to me

constant taunting stars
eternally shining above
meander in this barren land
inquiring where my heart is
trying to find a hollow tree
flawless and untouched
new home to my memories
I bend and grasp my soul
no more turning to dust
rising from my ashes
as the phoenix rises
*
let it all go

flashbacks of you
I browse endlessly
through the pages
of my memory
inquiring all of you
in the luminous light
of the silver blue moon
I find many an angel
but
it’s your eyes I’m seeking
your mouth, your hands
and through the window
the Southern Cross
caresses the night
and in her light
I find you
*
on the empty pillow
beside my own

concerted bleeding
from imaginary thoughts
silence torments
from skin to bone
a tiring heart
this world has failed
to whisk apart
neither empty
nor full
immersing
in oceans of
expectations
*
some find peace
in fields
of stone

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

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
