Bad Wind

Thu, thu, thu
Bad wind
Go to West
Go to Yimbo
Bad wind
Let the
Sun set
Peace to rein
Thu thu thu

Shakespeare, Your Pen!

Seasons
Moons over moons
Letters
Pages over pages
Words
Quotes over quotes
Rock
Wind and rains
Ever fresh
Your penned letter, Shakespeare!

Sunset, Golden Rays

Up the hill, we see the sun go down
Its rays like golden sacred spears
Illuminate the waters below,
My love gasps, points to West, and giggles.

I'm A Water Grass

Deep down, my roots
Penetrate the river belly
Water I brave, in vicious floods
I flex, smart and steady
I wouldn't loose roots
I'm a water grass, here to stay.

To Maya Angelou

I am a man, whose fire you lit
Honesty, true life be told
The classic ‘Phenomenal Woman’
To “I Know why the caged bird sing”
A fire was lit, my pen sings!

Yellow Flowers, Yellow Rays

On my face, morning Sun’s rays
Through window pane, down I gaze
Yellow flowers had rained from trees
Yellow flowers, yellow rays
How beautiful, a morning with grace.

You Melted My Heart!

I had sworn
By rising Sun
Be carried away, never again.

My love
In my face
Had sinned, no grace.

You, I had seen
By setting Sun, no sin
You melted, rocky heart, mine!

His Life, a Porridge Pool

Sitting on a traditional stool
Starring, ripples in a pool
He stirred porridge with a wooden spoon
Ripples, cause of his spoon
Porridge, had become a pool
His life, a porridge pool.

Stars, Stars, Stars

Mystic universe spreads, up the sky,
Stars like dots, mark the sky
Twinkling, in majestic beauty

So clear is the sky,
I beckon my love to see
As in the moon, Maria carries, the Christ!

Dear Pot

Not a stone
Falling and be broken
Unbalanced is this position
Steadily. My desire
In me, Water, no spill over
This water
Your life, it nourishes
Out of this place
Wish me not
I'm your dear pot!
