Africa's Soothing Bearing
AFRICA'S SOOTHING BEARING
The manifest of my anger
Is like a spontaneous outburst
An insidious unravel of accumulated grief
Patience tempted
A marvel to my chagrin
An itinerant tenant to my body
A shadow of myself long nurtured
Now hatched
But your love is a panacea
Your face an insignia of solemn peace
that quenches the fiery beast of my fury
Your coiffure is a cynosure of your belonging
Your skin, oh what finesse
Such blackness, a bold imprint of radiant Africa
Oh, dear Ola
What nostalgia you bring me
With the stinging offer of your natural presence
The majesty of your gentle lithe
The fullness of your fleshy lips
An aura drenched in jungle's cologne
Those days the hunt was great
And dinner promising
Intercede dear messianic fellow
As an atonement for our docility
For seeing you does steady my angry nerves
