Brown Eyes
Africa Poems Feb 19
If I could
love you more
today than yesterday,
I will, but still
it seems impossible
'cause in my heart
I've loved you
more than
anything
always.
My First Love.

The Love Birds
Africa Poems Jan 29
Two lovebirds

Little birds in a cage
Little birds in a rage
Blue, green, red and pink
Plumage in a bundle sits and thinks

When night comes perched
puffed-up feathers falls asleep
An hour before dawn all dreams searched
Chattering, quarreling, screaming-singing leaps
From cage, to wall, to ear
Penetrating to outside song
In reply to cries, far and near
Similar performances all day long

Little friends from birth
Flightless friends of earth
Enclosed ' together with only
Music, to be free.
True Love Forever.

runs into the sea
of you.

The Tribal Song
Africa Poems Jan 29
I am a child of the spirit eternal
My mother is the earth
My father is the sky

The wind is my brother
The rain is my sister
The animals, the trees, the birds ' my cousins

The mountains, the streams, the cascades
The rivers and lakes
The oceans ' my uncles and aunts
I am immortal

Immortal am I.
The Great Spirit.

The Pebble
Africa Poems Jan 29
The Pebble.

Pebble on the sand,
pebble in my hand,
pebble small, but grand…

And the sea roars,
and the sea roars,
around the pebble in my hand…
The Power of One.

Sunset Blues
Africa Poems Jan 28
Sunset Blues.

The sun sinks,
like India-ink,
black, red and blue,
a picture of you…

The sun sinks,
as I sit and think,
green, blue and red,
your love in my head…

The sun sinks,
over the brink,
blue, red and gray,
the end of the day.
The Sun Downer.

Illustrations
Africa Poems Jan 28
Illustrations

there's a tattoo
on her skin
of a devil
with a grin
there's a portrait
in her mind
of fair angels
most unkind
slight impressions
on her soul
(a small blemish
scars her so)
but, there's a picture
in her heart
of true love that never parts.
The Devil Woman.

The Flamingo

Flamingo.

Flamingo, flamingo,
up in flight they go,
pink as snow,
flying high, skimming low,
beautiful Flamingo…
Out of Africa.

The Mystery
Africa Poems Jan 30
The Mystery
of You & Me
is that we see
things differently
but stop sometimes
considerably short
of misunderstanding
each other completely.
Agree to Disagree.

'Why?'
Africa Poems Jan 28
Why?

Why?
Why do the birds,
fly high in the sky?

Why do babies cry?
Why do young girls lie?
Why do soldiers die?
Why do old men sigh;
“Why? Why? Why?”

Why do the birds,
fly high in the sky?
Why?

The Tea Cups
Africa Poems Jan 28
Here's a heart that aches
for what I need
There's one that makes
my little heart bleed

and I plead for her affection
she answers with rejection
but I know even though she may go
her own way, she'll still say:
"I love you so

maybe not to me, yes, it is a pity
but as long as she is happy and pleased
I'll just shuffle along with the breeze
unsurprised, I never was her cup of tea.
'Acceptance.'

The Moon Love
Africa Poems Jan 28
Moon Love.

Moon love,
up above,
turtledove,
turtledove…

Heal my heart,
remove my pain,
"Rise the lame,
and walk again…"

Moon love,
up above,
turtledove,
turtledove…
A Dove of Love.

The Way of Life.
Africa Poems Jan 28
Ball white
Ball bright
Ball bounce a new unpredictable height

Wind blows here
Wind blows there
It travels everywhere without a care

Life goes this way
Life goes that way
Victors and losers in the game must play.
The Wisdom of Life.

The Silence
Africa Poems Jan 28
silence.

Oh how, fast and slow
The sands blow, to and fro
In the silence

Do you know, how to go
To where all dreams flow,
Into the silence

After the show,
we'll all go; **-**-**
Into the silence
The Wilderness.

Gardening
Africa Poems Jan 29
Gardening

I planted a letter
The letter was y
It grew into a word
A word called why
The word grew to a sentence
Why? Why? Why?
The sentence over time grew into a mighty tree
And all the branches were questions why
And when the time was ripe
They bore the fruit of answers
And it was the tree of knowledge
And I took the fruit
And I ate.
The Reasons Why.

— The End —
