Dancing In The Rain

From a distance, perhaps from that mountain;
Those piano keys beckoned our hearts,
Our beckon because it was only us dancing,
Swaying in the rain to a melody only we heard.

One to infinity, first to last, alpha to omega-
We dedicated all our dances to us,
We celebrated that new love we had then found,
Without heartbeat, our breath lived in our kiss.

The world disappeared to us, maybe it did not,
We had eachother, you were my world and I yours,
Lost in the labyrinths of your heart-
You always found me, you created those labyrinths.

La la la di, la la la da, la di di dum,
The melody filled the fathomless abyss of our souls,
Even when the rainbow came, when the Sun appeared,
We still danced until the rain found us again.

My Mother's Garden

My mother owns a beautiful
garden of flowers
Where I linger watching them
bloom for hours,
My radio on, Katherine
Jenkins singing, 'The Flower
Duet'
I could explain this like a
picture but I am no poet,
Alas let me try; butterflies
showing off their colourful
wings,
The garden also has an oak
tree with hanging swings-
Roses, daisies, jasmines,
violets, hazels, the divine
camillias-
Flowers so beautiful, their
reflections more lovelier,
As the Sun appears to bud from some petal,

Sex, is anyone more electrifying?

'Sex, is anyone more electrifying?
Can anyone swim deeper than your depths?
I have caressed angels- kissed goddesses,
These caresses and kisses blended inferior to your texture,
A long shot from your dainty taste,
Only you explain life with one word,
Where they see newborns, trees grasses, flowers,
I see only you. Without you nothing is.

All those relationships and one night stands,
I am honored you breathed in them,
I am hallowed you still breathe in them,
For every pole longs to be wrapped- thumping unceasingly,
Every hole yearns to be gagged internally- eternally,
What I would not give to grasp you forever...
Straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian; raise your goblet,
Let's drink to why earth is not dead,
Ladies and gentlemen, a toast to sex! '

Him And Her (A Dialogue)

HER

We should stop meeting like this,
Though our meetings give me bliss,
Must we always meet in a dark corner?
Like our love knows no honour?
You taught me how to love-
Fit into me like a glove,
Why then is our love hidden;
As though our union is one forbidden?
I beseech you to answer my question
Candidly without hesitation.

HIM

My love your bittersweet words
Bind my heart tighter with cords,
As though releasing myself into ya-
Splashing in your soul like the Musi-Oa-Tunya
Then drying as the first dropp hits the surface.

Umukashana Nkumbwa (The Girl I Admire)

Ala alibumbwa,
Umukashana nkumbwa,
Inga apita uyu chikashana,
Umutima ulashana,
Ukumumonafye ninshi pesano

Ici ndelanda chishinka.
Nangula inga ayipika,
Ifyakulya mu mupika-
Ndakombelesha nomwinko,
Filyafine nkombelesha

Ine nankwe mpaka kumpela
Yachalo. Twakumene

Kulya ukushaba nakalya

Calling Yestaday

A step forward could mean moving on,
Another-leaving you behind,
Just yesterday you loved me,
And promised my hapiness before yours always,
Today you suck it all out
Leaving me in a state beyond death,
Our love drips through my tears,
But I can't rid of the love in my blood,
I am still you but you are no longer me
Yet we are one-
Joined by an umbilical cord of love,
My mind strives to forget you,
My heart does not even try,
They chase different destinies,
I chase my own, YOU.
Why can't I live in my dreams,
Where I feel your embrace still,
Where the joy of a new day is you,
And the rising of the Sun is our lips colliding?
There is so much I could say

What Part Of Me Loved You First?

What part of me loved you
first?
Is it my eyes,
As they seemed to see for the
first time?
Watching your hips sway
And legs sashay as if
The world balances under your feet?
Perhaps it is my ears,
At your first hello
Or listening to your voice's
cadence flowing in melodious laughter,
I know! It is my hands
As our hearts touched-
My lips,
Our first kiss
As our souls were exchanged,
No, it must be the stomach-
That tingle when I think of
you,

The Dream Watcher

I watch her dream, peep at her dreams
As she crosses the bifrost bridge
Into the arms of her flare her flambeau-
The wind, her slave and master.

I watch them collide with scintillating lust-
Watch her hair fly as if waving me goodbye
Or calling me to join them
When he brushes his fingers through her scalp.

I watch her dream, peep at her dreams,
Pausing and rewinding every culminating moment,
As she nurtures her invisible lover
Like a river by its course or a bull its matador.

Gods play her the lyre in sostenuto-
Queue up to be blown one of her kisses,
Her lipstick imprinted on all their hearts,
Even death beseeches her for a little life.

I lick my lips to taste our kiss from yesterday

I lick my lips to taste our kiss from yesterday-
Caress these scratches on my back
To revitalize your touch-

Does not the earth stop
When the soles of our feet kiss her surface
As I kiss you with my lips?

Our loves' glowing divinity-
Is it not this humanities new religion?
They revere we pay them heed not,
The Sun, moon, rainbows, stars alike-
Don't they shine only at your smiles' command?

You are that lighthouse on my dock
Beckoning my esprit-land ahoy!
It is easy to know we are soulmates,
Our faces share one image,
Our bodies, shadows-they share a breath-
Our embrass will never unglue-

Death and you and I

I saw her standing over me just before I died,
Death-she gave out such a bright lovely white light
She was beautiful! I understood why all life followed her,
Where had I been not to have met her earlier?

She smiled at me as if saying, “Say your goodbyes”,
My voice had withered but my tears they spoke for me,
Tried to speak they stopped me, I couldn’t if I tried,
I glanced at the faces I loved for the last time.

'I do not believe in love at first sight'-
Words you utter, wait until you see her face,
She was impossible to resist, I promise-you will understand,

My past didn’t matter; I dwelled on her-my future,
I gave up everything I adored-just to hold her,
All this you too will do, once again-I promise,
Life had certainly saved the best for last,
I weant to her, or was it her to me?
Hand in hand to the land none has ever returned.
