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

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

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

Innuendo’s
in ante meridiem
whispers of the wind
through the eyes
of an innocent child
where I can dream
and capture the stars
visions of my youth
chasing butterflies
effervescent love
to laugh and sing
and write my song
*
the child in us
it somehow keeps us wild
it somehow keeps us free

I hear noise
all around me
it echo’s in this space
I have no part in it
the wind rustling
through the leaves
of trees
I sit alone
in silent dialogue
with my thoughts
quiet beating
of my heart
peace rests snugly
in the womb of dusk
if I could
I would
capture it
right now…
here…
in this moment
*
and so goes
the distant memory
into the wind…

in my awaken dreams
I want wings to fly
where night never falls
I’ll leap from that cliff
reawakening of life
no more room for ashes
in my country of thoughts
where beauty unfolds
from all it has known
with no end in sight
my flight in transparency
moulding my untold wishes
like a bird, to soar on the winds
with a bounty of love
ad infinitum

the labyrinthine mazes
of things to come
soaring within
imagery thoughts
unveiled
within carnal
preludes
my soul pulsing
within reflection
of my being
I wish to dance
within the warmth
of your naked soul
where you
paint the essence
of my fervor
allowing velvet
metamorphosis
on the canvas
of my emotions
***
as I dream
of loving
you
