I’m writing to you because I miss you.

And you may be my one true love.

My first at least.

Though i didn’t know it when I met you.

I miss you

I miss the way you welcome me in

The way you understand me.

I miss the way you can see my truest self.

I miss the way I become myself when I am near you.

the way you are me and apart from me all at once

The way the stars look reflected in your eyes.

I never fear you though others do

I embrace your wildness

Your resilient good humor.

Your unique, nothing else like this, feeling.

The tear tracks on your heart from a thousand brutal fights and you still have so much love.

I kiss you and I can taste it

I can taste the fire, and the sunlight,

the trees and the vast distant rolling savannah.

When i touch you I can feel it

The drumming.

The gum boots, the stampedes, the thunder.

And when I close my eyes,

I can hear it.

The lions roar, the elephants trumpeting.

The thousands of tons of water at Victoria falls

The fish eagles cry

The singing boys at the choir school

The bushman's clicking language.

The cheetah's purr.

The wall of fire from the wild burning days.

The laughing.

The dancing. The singing. The fighting.

And as I breath, you breath,

As I rest, you lie awake, a quiet guardian in the night.

I lift up my hand and you take my fruit.

You silly little bushbaby.

I’ll give you my pineapple forever.

I hide behind the small acacia tree. and I see you.

I see the great king of Africa.

Isilo the Elephant.

The eyes so wise.

The tusks so fierce.

I am protected by you.

Beauty is to small a word to describe the way your body curves.

The blue of your skin. the green hues, the deep orange gold of winter hills.
The purple sunset.

The wetness after a storm.

The glowing embers in the night.

The dragons back. the most magical thing I have ever held in my eyes.
I miss you

Little grandmother on the hill.
Who bakes and meditates.
and drinks tea and gets her way
because *******, I deserve respect!

And little chocolate friends.
Your shandy on the rocks.
Your cottage in the woods.
Your cats and now your coming twins.

And the neighbors who play with eagles.

And Barrie who let me fly in his plane after only knowing his name five minutes.

And the witch who lived next door and could turn into a leopard.
And my grandfathers paintings that cover the old hotel.

The way people say my name.
The way I become myself.
And for the first time in my life,
I know who I am.
Released from my old stale life, I was rooted in magic, and earth, and love, and sacred eternal energy.
ADVENTURES so magic... I could cry.
I miss you so
I miss who I am around you.
I wish I could find you here.
I will find you again.
I will come back to you.
My beautiful country
One day

Would you dance with me,
Would you waltz, samba and rumble  for me.
Would you be a body ******, turn to a bow for me.

In our secret hideout, just you and i.
They only thing clothing us, is our shyness
As we await for the camp fire to die,
And the night darkness to blanket us,
The night sky is filled with sweet night songs.
A night gale here, a baboon call there and bushbaby call somewhere.
In our cave, on bed of leaves we seat,
Our proximity so close.
I cant hold it any longer, i just have to gaze to you.
Into your eyes, deep brown eyes,
I see an ocean deep and clear
In the dying ambers, i catch a glimpse of the tide,
The current of desire, the depth of your hunger.
Gorgeous eyes, pure and white.
Am a sailor in the ocean, am ready to be drowned.

With just a gaze, its enough,
Without a word everything is said,
I am a parched desert and you are an oasis.

The cold night breeze, draws us nearer,
Like a magnet our body heat attracts us to each other.
As we lock in a hug, and rock on our leafy bed of rock.
We transform from the, harmless lambs, into jungle wilds.
Like a vampire am drawn in for the ****, like a dracula you seek taste of blood,
Our barrier, the linen, are shred to bits.
With heaving and growling the beasts are let out
We disturb the quite night, with our wild song.
Am the raging fire, am trying to consume, and like a tempest ocean storm you are trying to drown me.
The leaves on our bed fly everywhere, as to bodies are locked in a pleasure contest.
A crescendo, a Harmony a sweet surrender.
The ocean bashes against the hardrock,  the fire heats up the ocean water.
Then the two night creatures howl, in ecstasy,  trembling in waves ands waves of pleasure.
As they lay locked, and catching breath, smiles Break into their sweaty face.
The nightgale, the baboon and bushbaby now make a unison song.
A best for year 2021
