Is there a song so sacred to the world? A voice washed in waves of tranquility Without words yet special in verse and rhyme Hidden in nature’s surreal, powerful chorus Cascading in sonorous whispers from an unknown realm Bards and poets revere its ethereal beauty And bow in awe of its eternal magic A tongue unknown to those upon the earth An imposing aura, an eerie tone A signal, a symbol of special moments Eternal song, we named it silence Humans yearn to worship in silence Learn to say prayers in silence Say worship this silence Spirits find voice in silence The graveyard is silent Do we make love in silence? Or find love in silence Shadows of heaven, oceans of silence There’s danger in silence Jungles bear witness, the hunted remember There’s reward in silence Hunters, predators, masters of silence The night too loves silence Brothers in spirit, lovers forever Entwined by nature’s solemn existence Is silence not darkness? If we can only hear but do not understand Unworthy humans beneath the sacred There’s a reason for silence Or there’s one behind it Silence the reason, follow the rhythm Our hearts beat in silence Souls speak in silence Can we listen to silence? And savor the glory, breathe in the splendor Immortal silence! Worship this ambience Bow down in reverence To the song before time Deeper than music, higher than poetry I call it silence

SILENCE
I know I’ll never be able to let you go It’s scary but true that I love you so I’m like a violin and you’re the bow Missing you makes me feel so low You own my heart I can’t say no Nothing is promised and that’s my woe You’re all I want that much I know It surprises me that I want you so When everyone thinks you’re a foe It makes me smile that you’re my doe Your ethereal voice makes me glow My thoughts flow towards your ******** It hits my heart like a hammer blow And leads to stirring down below I can’t recall but I think it’s slow I’m trying so hard but I can’t say no I want to own your ******** And make it an ocean where I can row I long to touch your ******** And feel your essence, watch it flow In circles around your lovely hole And you won’t stop if I don’t say so Bury my head in your ******** Making you come to a place I know Touch the depths of my noble soul Then you’ll say that I told you so I love all of you in every way I know I’ll stay by your side never let you go I’ll kneel in the sand just to let it show I’ll sleep by your side, watch your tummy grow Kiss you in the rain when you’re feeling low When you’re now the violin and I’m the bow Then you’ll say baby take my ********

********
Night falls and our bodies go to sleep Shadows descend to tell a tale so deep Are there really mountains in the sky? Have the clouds aligned to tell a lie? Is love a shout into the void A state of mind we all avoid To save our hearts or so we claim Not if but when we fall all the same -A. Ajani

Shadows
Every night beneath the stars the story is the same My heart and soul whisper one silent name In many ways this is a very new territory Many times I wonder if I’m still ambligatory Why rove my thoughts beyond this last retreat? Why feels my heart its long forgotten heat? I opened my eyes and formed thee of angelic kind Some emanation of the all beauteous mind Back through the heights of pleasing sense I fell When I saw an angel whom I called a girl I bid my head call my heart to question Truth be told I wasn’t used to this kind of tension But I can no more suppress the emotions on my part Now I excuse the blush and pour out all my heart Heaven first taught letters for some lover’s aid For the words left unsaid and the plans to be made I live, I speak, and I breathe what love inspires Warm from the soul and faithful to all its fires How often when called to question have I said Woe to all laws but those which love has made And along you came to steal my noble heart To prove for once that angels live on earth To your charms I resign, to your lovely form I yield Fair eyes and tempting looks, what power these two wield Come with one glance of those enchanting eyes Blot out the bright idea of the eternal skies I beheld thee once; I prayed and asked for more I have not the strength to stay away anymore I thought I built a fortress, I called it impregnable I felt I had a crystallized core, I named it impermeable In one fleeting moment, the fortress was gone; the crystal was in your hand I was taken aback; I had to ask myself where you found the magic wand Your deluding eyes penetrate my soul and leave me hollow Your graceful legs leave a trail asking me to follow In seas of love my plunging soul is drowned While my heart is ablaze and my head trembles round In all things we do there might be a sense of regret But love is sure the hardest science to forget Once brave and proud, I now lack basic courage Maybe I’ll walk up you after I put my soul on mortgage Perhaps sometimes I dream of you, I tell no lies To dream once more, I close my willing eyes Come! With your looks, your words, relieve my woe But even those are yours alone to bestow When at certain moments, I remember your name I ask myself again how I caught the flame From opening skies, your ageless beauty shines And springs forth my long forgotten flowing lines Many times, I placed my pen above my heart’s desire Not now though, all I know is a strange consuming fire I love you more than life itself In a way that I can’t explain to myself I love you for your unique loveliness I love you for your fiery tenderness I love your dark alluring hair I love your ***** so ample, your figure so rare I love your special enchanting eyes I love you truly I tell no lies I love your swaying **** hips I love your tempting sensuous lips I love your charming inviting voice I love you baby there’s no other choice Not fame or glory, not adulation or praise, love is my only call Sad to say but truth be told, if I lose thy love, I lose my all!

You stole my heart
Every night beneath the stars the story is the same My heart and soul whisper one silent name In many ways this is a very new territory Many times I wonder if I’m still ambligatory Why rove my thoughts beyond this last retreat? Why feels my heart its long forgotten heat? I opened my eyes and formed thee of angelic kind Some emanation of the all beauteous mind Back through the heights of pleasing sense I fell When I saw an angel whom I called a girl I bid my head call my heart to question Truth be told I wasn’t used to this kind of tension But I can no more suppress the emotions on my part Now I excuse the blush and pour out all my heart Heaven first taught letters for some lover’s aid For the words left unsaid and the plans to be made I live, I speak, and I breathe what love inspires Warm from the soul and faithful to all its fires How often when called to question have I said Woe to all laws but those which love has made And along you came to steal my noble heart To prove for once that angels live on earth To your charms I resign, to your lovely form I yield Fair eyes and tempting looks, what power these two wield Come with one glance of those enchanting eyes Blot out the bright idea of the eternal skies I beheld thee once; I prayed and asked for more I have not the strength to stay away anymore I thought I built a fortress, I called it impregnable I felt I had a crystallized core, I named it impermeable In one fleeting moment, the fortress was gone; the crystal was in your hand I was taken aback; I had to ask myself where you found the magic wand Your deluding eyes penetrate my soul and leave me hollow Your graceful legs leave a trail asking me to follow In seas of love my plunging soul is drowned While my heart is ablaze and my head trembles round In all things we do there might be a sense of regret But love is sure the hardest science to forget Once brave and proud, I now lack basic courage Maybe I’ll walk up you after I put my soul on mortgage Perhaps sometimes I dream of you, I tell no lies To dream once more, I close my willing eyes Come!

The night is the blanket of the stars All said and done, we all bear scars Even the sky bleeds, we call it rain So learn the trick and embrace the pain Everything comes to those who wait Time and chance will set the bait Fuel the fire and **** the flame Memories and dreams are not the same A. Ajani

Omens are whispers louder than advice Ominous signs unlock the mind’s device The fabric of the soul protects the heart As soft velvet protects the maiden bride Layers of white cascade from side to side Desire is wet as night at last descends Flesh to flesh, thighs part to please the king Even then in church, he sought to make her sing A.

Omens
Honour and shame from no condition rise Act well your part for there your honour lies Earn your stripes and listen to the wise Praise undeserved is scandal in disguise Brave the odds and reach for the stars True greatness reflects the sacred scars Leave the shade and bask in the sun After the darkest hour comes the dawn -A. Ajani

Earn it
There’s a suit between love and hate The jury arrives in rows of eight Religion arrives with colour and race Politics displeased demands to be the ace Culture and sports side with love and play Achilles, olives and even Cassius clay Tribe and caste vote to tell a lie The jury rises, alas we have a tie! -A.

Decide
Before our eyes, dreams turn to dust Nature knows which should come first We wonder what makes iron rust Delay perhaps is the greatest cost Ambition says success is a must Feeble minds say the world is not just History instructs that all is not lost Yet humans succumb to this great lust

Dreams
When at certain moments, I remember your name I ask myself again how I caught the flame Your deluding eyes penetrate my soul and leave me hollow Your graceful legs leave a trail asking me to follow Your feet left a mark on my noble heart To prove for once that angels live on earth Now and then, I sense the dawn of regret. But love is sure the hardest science to forget -A. Ajani
