1 Poetry Records; minutes of past and fun memories flood in, sad and happy Creating; nothing but me again and again, I rather be me still Poetry: one beautiful happy thing that gladdens me It dances in my soul, it is much my own, my freewill 2 Walk in my Dreams Yes, you told me […]

Sweet Breezes
Sweet breezes, heavens ride to and fro, home and wild By the town and countryside surge of fresh air, quick, mild Sweet breezes, soaring scentless like the fair English countess Immaculately dressed, spotless dancing, joyful- happily remorseless

The moon and night plays
Yells, cries of children disturb the nights silence In the moonlight they dance, they play in the distance Casting shadows upon the lonely tree’d pathway Tumbling on sands, caring not for neither man nor scorpion They make figures, people and tall castles of clay Happily they yell, desiring nothing under the queer moon Meanwhile the […]

The African Dawn
** A slope of rounded hills Black against the horizon Threatening the sun with its fierce thrust With thin clouds streaking across the sky ** The clouds underbellies glow reddish hue The morning warmth fighting the heady moon Wide plains stretched, savannah grass paradise Sometimes lonely trees stand with the yellow grass Ancient, raw, the […]

Musing: Sweet and Sour
Bent, folded I returned to my own self Baking in the euphoria of failed love itself Shivers accompany thoughts, rented worries Revived just to welcome the sad, old self Moments are lost when smiles were love, When winks, faces said how much I cared Transform me back, if I have no soul at all Let […]

A muse: Sunset
Shadows Fall behind the mud huts They paint soulful images, Like the web tent of a black widow Hanging like a carefree skeleton And the brown stains from hands Old or fresh which design the walls Silhouettes Fall behind the palm trees They draw strange figures, One like the village masquerade which dance heartily on […]

February
Sold to the warm white clouds and suns heat, To the golden hue, shared across the firmaments Across the fields where grows the yellow wheat Came a new born, a new beginning, a new month To the East and West, to the North and the South It came, striving, growing, standing, blest February retells stories […]
