Whisks and Kisses (Tanka)

 

Wonder woke with isms 

Amidst a lavender scent 

Cuddles and charming 

Lures beyond the high mountains 

And we kiss beneath the stars.

Angel (Haiku)

All they see is you,

I see an unseen angel,

A light of each day.

Robin

High tides, vicious gales tell the tale,

Her story of glum sunsets and moon rises,

Her little wings hurt as she glides in a world,

A world she dreads where everything in it remind her to frown.

Slow gashes of nothingness bestow the unknown,

Her long and unchaining days bring her to a weep,

For her weak perches beg to be heard…

But the storm hushes her cries…she weeps, she weeps.

Silently her world wonders where she is.

Must the world be so cruel that she cannot see her hurting?

A fight within brings a flight to the abyss

Eyes open, eyes closed darkness all around

A thick smog of lifelessness is all that there is

More and more she sinks in what she fears,

Her heart beats yet she cannot feel.

A call, a hint that there’s a way roars,

Suddenly she can feel the thumps from her big heart,

Eyes open, flowers and a walkway appear,

There she is whole again like an embryo

Pure of the cold of this world,

Embraced by the allure of a smothering scent

She smiles, the glitz of her eyes reflect the uncut woman she is.  

For Sista Moe...

Beautifully Lost

Here I am

Lost but found

Beneath this shell

I found myself.

Alive in this abomination

I don't want to be seen

Or touched by you.

I am complete inside myself.

Like a fallen leaf

I go where the wind blows.

Now and forever, let the truth

Wash me in it's sea of pleasure.

What a Bloke Shoundn't See (Haiku)

Your wrinkled stockings

Appear a tad bit tired,

Why does thee bother?

You can be tasty

Like Dorothy Lamour in her youth. 

Ye legs are a snag.

All I ask of thee

Is to ditch them long stockings,

Then I can take thee.

Oh me daft ferrets

Moan endlessly about it.

Just lose them Nora.

I would like to see

Me lone bird really dressed up,

That would be sublime.

Orient Express --

Thee and I to Australia.

Think about it lass?

Dear Nora (Haiku)

Hey up me fine lass!

Tis the day I take thee home,

You shan't say no.

Winsome Sail

Swiftly guided into an enigmatic force,

A feeling locked between bliss and warmth lingers beautifully within,

Amazing though it is...it feels distant but charming all the same.

Drawn yet torn between the unknowns of the day,

My mind wanders to the shores of a sunset lite smile,

That moment froze and I sunk so deep in it's arms

That I became who I was really meant to be...

Awoken, enlightened and touched with something I can't even begin to define,

I know this this thing...is all I can call it will be the height of happiness.

The sweet scent of a worldly heaven is what I thought it was,

I daren't call it that though, naming it would be senseless,

With eyes shut, breath as slow as a boat moving with a gentle current...

Thoughts turn into something stronger and better and I wonder with amazement.

Lost Overwhelmed Virtuous & Enchanted (L.O.V.E)

When words cannot define what the heart feels,

And when the word "love" equates to a cliche;

immortality is born.

When her smile means more than the world,

When that alone makes me feel like I can...

I can do anything just to see her smile again.

I know now what this heart is meant for,

I feel I can live and die a thousand times

Just to get a single chance to see her,

Feel her skin against mine

and listen to her charming voice .

My will is overpowered by her;

For she cast spell on me long ago,

I will let lose my emotions and let us be,

Be as one soul, one heart

And one body underneath the bright stars.

Don't Wake Me Up

Don't wake me up,

I'm looking for you in my dreams,

As the sunlight forces my eyes to shut,

I lost you, a gasp I took...

I fell asleep again- don't wake me up!

As I walk through this crazy maze,

I find many lost souls and discover myself,

I don't know how I lost touch with reality,

Don't wake me up, I am trying to find myself.

Night brings not me to sleep,
If this is all, it must be my lone fall,

If this is all a dream please don't wake me up,

Let me sleep and wake up the warmth of your touch,

And the sparkling wonder in your eyes...wake me up then.

My Piece of Heaven (Haiku)

Her silky long hair,

Flow like the great Zambezi,

Steadily it goes.

Soft to my touch,

I feel her caramel skin

And melt in delight.

Her lips so tender,

Keep me longing for a kiss,

O' I feel like a child.

Heart of Pearl

I forgot how it feels to smile,

I feared my face would fall apart

And my pain would grow out for everyone to see.

The world wants me to be happy,

So I grabbed my happy shoes,

Tore my grief and threw it in that corner,

In case life happens…she should find me like this.

All I Want

I want you…

I want you to know that I am dazed by you,

I want you for you; a soul with a meek ambiance, 

I want you to see how I see you…a perfected masterpiece!

I want you to know that I am your pillow when you need one,

I want you for the heart you hold, the smile on your face and the adorable giggles you make.

I want you to walk with me to the shores of bliss and all things wonderful,

I want you to believe in us, a union made by the gods themselves.

I want you for me as I will eternally be yours to love...

I want you to be you because that’s who I want,

I want you and no one else in this world...

I want you to hold my hand as we immortalize what we have,

I want you to kiss the heart in me as I will for you,

I want you to be the one I kiss every morning and every night,

I want you to be the dream I have longed for,

I want you to be everything I have ever wanted and more…

All I want is to gaze in those lovely eyes, O’ they are so beautiful!

For the life in me…all I want is you!

Is that too much to ask for!?


This piece was inspired by Ozzy's song "I Just Want You."

Divine and Charming Floret

Starlight, star bright...
Let the light from far beyond
Shine through the spector they know her by,
Like a morning glory, her purple petals will blossom
And she’ll rise like the phoenix she is…  
To reveal the ornate splendor she holds…
She will creep to the galaxies and touch each
And every star like the adorable toes on her feet.


High in the night skies…her majestic grandeur
Glimmers like an Orion descending to the Earth
A lone bloom to the eyes and thoughts she is,
The envy of Aphrodite and Venus she is,
A mystic fascination she is…
O’ how wonderful it is just to gape
At the marvel she is..


A forgotten charm lurks
Like a story untold…
She wanders gracefully like a
Lost songbird gliding through a rose maze,
As a flute softly plays from lands unknown…
Her wanderlust’s enchantment to touch glee rises,
Once again as it was when her wings flapped
With a vigor to be…to be whole.
As her royal heart throbs with a passion tune
She sets off  flames of a holy adulation. 

Dreamscape (Haiku)

Morning brings delight

 As the sun warms my cold face,

I smile and giggle.

Is this all a dream?

If it is, I must not awake,

Forever I wish it so. 

Always

When life bares no meaning,

I will seek for your touch and embrace its warmth,

When I am cold and my heart is without a beat, 

I will ask for yours then I will live again,

When my darkness falls,

You will be the torch to see us through life's foggy perils,

Like a glider you will steer us clear from our fears...

As we cling to the soothing feel of our emotions,

Whenever I feel lost...you will be there,

As I will for you and for us.

Joie De Vivre

Teach me how to kiss your heart?

Be the light as we walk in this life’s meandering  pathway,

Let us be as we must; marvels of passion fumes,

And I will bathe in the warmth of your soul's splendor.

Nubian Queen

Lips smudged in the charm of her soul
Speak a sweet tongue only the gods know of,
Away from the Nile into her heart…
The parched pine for her reach lives on,
Her myrrh scent tames the sirocco’s child,
A Taureg walk into the depth of her shore
Brings all, cures all and sees years through.

The golden Saharan sands gashes her walk,
Not two, not four but an infinity of eyes peek
As the blue sun of night sings her praises
A mere mortal  though she is, she is a goddess among queens.  

Kind Summer Years

A Thanksgiving Inspired Scribble

Days fallen in splashes of ye fine core’s desire

Bequeath thy will with a luring spur to veil all dire,

Sunken with loud chuckles thy spirit pleads with a sublime smile.

Hazy sunlight hours impel an ambiance to revive life without wile,

The Innate scent of angelic allure brings thee elation of pure will.

A dive into an unending ecstasy of time

Is the zephyr that will guide thee home.

Moments glazed with heavenly tonic,

Mornings blessed with fine blue skies

Be'st the charming times of deity’s gift.

A glimmering warmth casts its lunar spell,

Sudden, like thunder its quintessence embraces thee,

Infinite sunlight sparkle like honey in inborn radiance,

Sweet is the savor of its unscathed beauty...

Thou beest untouched by its hands equates

Being forsaken by the gods of sun.

Ripples of colorful passions,

Flecked highs and lows,

Funneled thy wondrous emotions

Through the thickness of life’s fog,

If I hast one wish...

It would befit to relive thy benevolent years of glee.

Queen of Queens

A mantle of trust
Here where I stand
Watching you speak
Waiting for you to peep
At the beauty I hold
Within this shell of a body
They all know Iam
You see beyond it
Your eyes stay locked
Looking at the soul they seek.

From your hair follicles
Down to your feet
Beauty is all around you
For you are the queen of beauty
Your soul is a container of fine emotions
Always there for our hurting
And divided minds
This I say to please you not
But to tell it like it is.

Your ever pure heart
Holds the sentiments
Of a true giver
You’re our queen
And we’re your kingdom
You rule over us with
Your unmistakable human beauty
A spirit of wisdom and
Unimaginable splendor are the
Words that cannot define you
As I sleep I know you’ll
Always be there to lead the way…


Another dedication to Angie.

Keeper of My Heart

If my heart stalls
And loses its cause
She’ll lend me her’s
And if I lose my soul
She’ll pray to God
To keep it out of harm's way

When I’m thirsty
I’ll drink her sweet tears
She’s all I’ll need
To salt away my shredded
Heart’s fright,
If the forest of my mind
Starts to burn
Her whisper will tame the blaze
And I’ll hurt no more…

If I forget how to fly
Away from the affliction
Of this cruel world
She’ll carry me on her back
And together we’ll dash
To where evil lives not,
When my soul is cold
She’ll pluck out the feathers
From her golden wings
And cover my spirit with its
Warmth and divine essence.

If my blood should drain
A bag of her own soul,
She’ll offer, and I’ll rise to kiss
The tears off her face again
As I did before I began to bleed
This life away…
Every moment I cherish
And will remember
Till my last breath, I’ll always hold
On to her soft hand’s affection

In the night
When Iam all alone
Scared of my own childish fears
She’ll scream to chase
The demons of the pain I caused,
Morning will come with a smile
Whenever she’s here,
She alone has the power
To turn night into day
And pain into a pleasure
Of a hard-learnt lesson

I dedicate this poem to the most beautiful Zambian girl, Angie.
