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)
chasing a dream
in a blaze of fire
an immortal soul
that walks within
like storms on the ocean
sweet rush of emotions
the height of crescendos
lifting me above
where memories remain
on my journey of life
in fragile dreams
as fervent as the flame
burning with desire
so infinite and divine
I search for answers
beneath and above
utopia of hope
*
a moment in time
as I spread my wings
and begin to fly
**
imagine you and me
eternity and beyond
as long as I can dream
