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.

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.

The Bird That Flew Away

If the sun would speak,

I’d have many tales for it…

For I have seen, done and been everywhere I’d imagined.

Some may call it a joke, others a mystery but I rather call it a miracle,

They who seek the "whys" and the "if

s" of what they thought was unfair,

Know not that I did it, I wrote my script and lived it, like a pearl beneath the sea

I was that little bit of brilliance among the corals of the world.

So why then do you still ask why I closed my eyes?

An escapade that turned out so right,

So ripe that the world listened to the voice in me,

That little girl in me came alive then,

This was the secret to my freedom.

Not a very well kept one.

My wish is  that the heavens will open for every child out there ..

Let them see that this world is right for them as it was for me.

Joy washed me every time I see people wearing pretty smiles,

Yet you still ask why I closed my eyes!

  

If the moon told me night stories,

Every child would sleep with a smile as I did,

For I told it the truth, my happy realities.

I found me, I loved myself and I liked all that came my way,

But why do you ask yourself why my eyes remain closed?

Thank you, Maya Angelou.

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.  

Hearts To Kiss (Tanka)

A sensual warmth,
Covers soul with honesty:
Heaven within me.
Hearts cleansed in fine honey --
Beats but with one strong rhythm.

Our Little Immortality

Cascading emotions reign
And soak our hearts in its gain,
Tears trickle down with pleasure again...
As pain divulges a fresh verve of what begun,
A seed, a souvenir of time: this is an endowment of our union.

With a weep of joy
She is revealed with much awe,
She is our endearing toy to cherish without coy,
Years past, days to come we shall embrace her warm say,
Scent of frankincense marks the hour with an endless memory.

In her eyes truth lives on,
Her mind so pure lures grins like the moon’s,
Charming giggles blur our tongues with words unknown,
She speaks glee and flees with mirth; wobbling with every angelic stride’s rising,
Delightful hymns from a world unknown
Yet ones’ soul rhymes in life’s howl for continuation.

A Heart’s Glory (haiku)

Today I woke up,
Thinking about your beauty,
And the heart you hold.

I wondered for long--
Without you in my thoughts,
I felt dead inside.

You alone own my heart
With your glossy scarlet lips,
That I must taste.

Tomorrow will bring
Us much closer than ever
And I’ll kiss your heart.

So pure, so bare
Let the moonshine guide us
To where bliss is queen.

With you I can feel
And heal any known soreness,
My soul you can keep.

Adulation of Harlotry Warmth

I seeketh a heart amongst thee,
Saviours of the darkest night,
Seeds of forsaken mothers...
Their bare grace of misery
Is the treat for this, this unfeeling heart
That lives in men’s lifeless chests,
It beats because it morns the fall
Of a love he kept for his sweet wife;
The lone reason for his strife.
By day, we shame them,
Yes, we hate them
And call them harlots!
Yet we live through their silver shadows
And embrace their disgrace with hypocrisy.
Their eyes hypnotise eyes of he that stares
At their iniquity; their only power over strong men.
In streets they wander,
In minds they wonder
Why they are who they are;
Mirrors of life’s essence.
We are to blame...
For we worship each stride they make,
Every curve of their cadaver,
We love like that of our wives.’
Is it because they satisfy our earthly desires,
Smire us with their priced love
And whisk our angst with delight ?
Cry not O’ beautiful one!
I’ll not forsake you,
I’ll hold you till daylight
And they’ll find us as one,
Like honey and milk we shall be,
Your lips as sweet as wine
I’ll kiss them like never before...
O’ bring glee to my lone soul!
Your eyes as warm as wool,
Are the pride of any woman,
In my mind, I’ll love you not
For it is to betray the quintessence
Of my feeling heart...
This is why I seeketh a heart amongst thee.

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.

Love Supreme (Haiku)

You are everything - -
That I desire and more,
You make life worth it.

In love let us be,
Like the bright sun we shine
With glory again,

In you I find peace – -
A true wife of mine you are,
For this, I love you.

Our hearts will beat
With passion and devotion
When we embrace truth.

My words are empty - -
My heart is filled with your love,
Soon I will explode.

Hold me close to you,
Tell me how I make you feel?
Teach me how to love?

Look into my eyes
They are meant to thaw your heart
With admiration.

With you, I feel blessed,
Your presence excites my soul,
Inside I am feasting.

Stay with me my love
Tonight we will make tradition
And touch our love.

My immortal lust
For you, speaks words I know not,
My heart beats for you.

Drizzles In Sunshine

Golden syrup from the

Heavens trickle yet again.

Like tears they plummet

Soaking earth with life,

A tender aroma of sand

Arises to kiss

Summer a long goodbye.

A green scenery is born on the

Hands of the russet woods,

Pierced with yellow sunbeams

They spring up like ant hills

Ready to store a month’s harvest.

Shaky leaves sing the praises

Of joy as the down pour rests its

Tears on their arid sheath.

Are they the tears of

A joyful angel?

They fall with a soothing

Gentle feel…

Touching the olive leaves

And everything within

Its fine reach.

Passion Flames

Flares of my inner desires

Rise to the depth of this mire

Of sensations within my soul’s Yearning

For a deeper reach or perhaps a touch

To seal this heart with passion.

A deep passion scent

Is the air that the angel sent

Its tastes find a succulent

Vigor of this soul food

I cannot deny this…

This feeling of human completion:

Its blissful nature massages my soul’s

Desire to have you and you only.

To be in touch this epiphany

To seek not that which is found

To hope for a higher essence of life

To be safe in this shelf of lust

Is more than I can ask for.

A climb to the peak

Of this untold reach

Is not what they preach

When I lose me in my rich

Before I rest I beseech

To touch your heart of peach.
