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

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
***

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

mortal sins
only fractured
reflections
of naïveté
where words
float from muses
in twilight stillness
thriving in
bareness
lingering inside
passive minds
to see inside
one’s soul

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)
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

like the river needs
the ocean
like the moon needs
the night
like my soul needs
you…
when it comes
to baring
confronting your own
in naked truth
*
so much more
spoken in
silence

ripples of my musings
survey of my soul
as ripples fade away
slowly breaking the ice
I hear the music play
together we composed
harmonies of our souls
capturing the moment
of spirit, hope and words
sharing common ground
of joy and happiness
in visions of my reflection
I hear you whisper
*
you’re
beautiful

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

slithers of touch
softly caressing
emotions of her soul
this fragile canvas
breathless with
memories of yesterday
today…tomorrow
these wounds
masking sacred petals
from her élan vital
matter no more
by the woe’s from
shrines buried deep
as the edge of love’s pivot
submerges her thoughts
in euphoric visions
of edacious desires
***
even just
for a
night
