We found Love, resident in between the envelopes of our lips; never spoken but melted down our souls in contact. We found love unspoken, right in the tombs under our belly-buttons; and there we lived, loved until love grew grey hairs so soon and travelled six feet underground. We found lust; not love!

We Found Lust!
life to you is a race And you keep moving with pace For every hurdle you scale You find another few rails And all that you chase Moves quicker than your haste And now you bow your face In hate Every footstep a mistake Hard to erase And when Every move fails And it aches Look within your base With faith You'll find in your suitcase All that suits your case And when you should embrace And praise If you embark on yet another race Then you shall race, race & race Until you come to understand That life is beyond My Understanding Your Understanding For LIFE is a MYSTERY

MYSTERY
On a cold night A cold maiden night of two Rather hot, with her in my arms Timid as she lied Sullen but lighthearted Succulent was her skin Hands clutched in mutual reverence Moaned softly as I fondled Words from my emptied heart Half-lies, Half-truths Things happened Two made love in a spot Night of her life Her maiden night Silver-shaken in the gloom I left her, disconsolate Silent sobs loud in my heart I turned around and turned her over Found a confluence of streams Stream of tears, of blood Alas! She was a maiden She stood and left Left me in the sanctum of my ecstasy Left without the seal she'd brought Left without the coins I offered Left with a shattered pride Certainly things happen In continued promise She?, As beautiful as ever As committed as a believer And I hope she never finds this note.

MAIDEN
Like train in the station; their breath seized Like ship in its harbor; their heart stopped Like rain from the sky; blood spilled Like plane in a crash; bones broken Like shadows after sunset; their Souls departed Like oil wells of the gulf; Grounds dug Like babies' nap at night; Bodies laid to rest Like grains planted to germinate; carcass covered in soil Heaven is too far Ground is too deep If the dead don't hear our cries Why then do we mourn all night? Immortals wept for by mere Mortals Mortals soon to transduce into Immortals Only to be wept for by unsuspecting Mortals Who shall also be wept for by Mortals; how Cyclonic? For Papa For Grandpa

SPILT MILK
L'afrique Home of giant eagles Land of short monsters L'afrique Rubies, oil, cowries Trade route for ivories L'afrique Gold, Blood, Diamond Cold blooded demons L'afrique Story for discoverers Magic for sorcerers L'afrique Mother of green earth Oil goddess of black liquid L'afrique Beauty of a map Fast trampled forest L'afrique Milk cheese honey Rich vast & sullen L'afrique Home of the dead Land of the living L'afrique Home of abundance Land of starvation Of pains Of tears in the rain!

L'AFRIQUE
Troubled I am by The gradual death, Of a panting dying love Struck I am dreadfully, By the scary fears, Of a fading emotion The light feather Of her soft replies Conceals what her bleak heart fight To explain Her frequent disappearance Makes my timid Heart beat at a 100 mph Olden days become golden days & golden days become our hope Our soft hope! What can I read her What can I sing her On a Saturday night Stories to tame Tales of persuasion To charm And more Before love disappears Into the calm vegetable morass We must try again, again Stay! With us My wild LOVE
