Lonely Words...
First time on face book,
a lonely post on the wall.
First time with a poem,
a lonely comment below.
First time on chat,
a lonely sad face: -(
I hate you,
never comes back.
A stare in the eye,
never is enough.
only with lonely words,
have you read and comment.
Until those words have voice,
until the creator is seen...
This are lonely words to speak.

At my feet!
I lay my soul at your view
You: daughter of my land.
Tears trickling down,
Like the gems found…
In there streams,
Of my motherland.
Present to you, I
A bowl of silence,
Collect with imagination
an’ oft dreams…
of mystic a beast,
an’ as curious a rider,
my strange an’ beautiful companion.
Daughter of my land,
Charmed I am, by your composure.
Timid are your ears being…
quiver such they,
at my play of words.

of hair curl,
loom adversely,
along the length,
along the breadth....

Red Letter Today
Open a red letter an' read...
a life in words I attempt to freeze.
there are fine winds blowing,
heavenly sunset an' towering castles of cloud.
bird's chirping, hers breathing...
can hear them all with mine closed eyes.
welding in the back ground, lying here on the ground.
Many lives lived, sown into the earth...
lovers knot above some blue sky,
African soil where child plays.
a red letter tonight,
enclosed in an envelop delight...
count fingers I might,
grass greener inside.
the face of a beauty an' nature beside.
red letter in my pocket
scene of a match,
T-shirt and blue jeans,
