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

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

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

My brush is a bird
that paints in red
loquacious and free
stroke by stroke
color comes out
captivating me
the dancing rain
on my fingertips
flick of my wrist
of secrets born
passions chiseled
in precious stone

as night falls
my soul
abate
in silence
with the
sound
of your
voice
reflecting
in the wind
humming
to music
and in the
distance
playing
a sweet
ballad
as I sip
of your
ardor
in our
covert
space
where passion
are met
and
questions
are not
***
I close
my eyes
and wait

shadows
in
black and white
bleeding
reflection
on paper
where
naked words
quietly hides
my soul
planted in
orbit on
a balcony
of cloud
eternal
emotions
like rivers
flows
devouring
my shadow
like a gem
in the sky
time melts
where
memories
recede
lightning
shatters
the darkness
as the crescent
moon lights
my soul

an epic smile
as fingers trace
the silhouette mind
past
aquatic streams
of her inner
shrine
perhaps the moon
was her only friend
wading through
murk
on arduous
wings
***
the rainforest
trembles
a lush
awakening
in
mirrors of time
a sacred space
as cosmos speaks
the
language of love
*
no more
to dwell
in life’s
shadowy past
you may find her
in the motley
shades
amongst
streaming glades
where she muses
to herself
***
and the dance
progress
©AvdL 2015
a
jar
of silent words
nestled
at my heart
into my fragile
nocturnes
holding me
in their arms
*
time melts love
where memories
rise
wrapped
in slippery time
**
sketches
we compose
become erased
no right to bleed
as I write
your name
in the sand
***
we
simply
proceed…

covert pain
written across
the pages
of my soul
naked and exposed
where wounds
were bravely born
my inner child
derailed
where I linger
in this space
surrendering
among the puzzles
of reasons why
***
paint me a rainbow
in colours of red
the jewel of
my essence
rising
on wings
of
stone
