Luxuriant black hair 
Trails your naked body
Soothing all those places
Seared by my burning lips

Waves of silky curls 
Cascade over you
Following the rise and fall
Flirting with your fingers
Inviting gentle tugs

Midnight strands curtain your face
As your body emulates
The motion of lips and tongue
A black waterfall of ecstasy

Curved coconut tree

The words of the Zulu coconut,
a once coveted souvenir
from an indulgent visit
to festive Mardi Gras.
As our hero speaks
two mice nibble
unobserved
at his
coat. 

"Beads
were slung;
doubloons cast.
Grasping tourists
seized the trifling throws.
Floats advanced in the queue
krewes tossed their tokens wildly.
Prize gifts are meant to be given.
So I, Zulu, went...

He climbs up rhythmically 
keeping his legs
within a ring of rope 
like his life.

Intuition assures
the ripeness; 
life-nut falls down  
from the tree top.

Just a slip
will end in all end, 
but practice
rarely slips.

Though the ways are hackneyed, 
he’s honeyed and free
under his calluses.

Morrows and yesterdays,
he...

Turquoise Sea, Coconut Trees And Turtles

Pristine see through waters
Turtles slide by
Rock to and fro as they go
They are my watch
In paradise with cracked coconuts

Start the day. In what way
was the cold spring, last wet summer a
global warning, indicator. Says

one commentator on the op-ed page, the
dislocations, wars, famines will tax humanity's
technology, philosophy, even religion's ability

to see past daily survival to
the music in the rock. I've doubted the taboos

Fell in love with a coconut
The tree stood tall outside my hut
Love sublime at first sight
I thought I‘d have a bite
Lost both front teeth right on the spot

She loves coconut cream pies.
She bakes them especially for her
If I loved them, she would feel better.
Nevertheless, I hate coconut since forever.
She bakes them especially for her
Sometimes making them for friends,
Nevertheless, I hate coconut since forever.
Ever since, I drank coconut milk.
She bakes them especially for...

It answered to my thirst from the top

When I watered a coconut palm root

My hands stroked his head's top

He kicked me in force with his foot!...

Coconut Cream Shake
___________________________

Coconut Cream shake,
you taste so good
you quench my taste
all the ways  that you should.

All your creamy goodness,
it brings me much delight
thank you for the pleasure
you're giving me tonight.

Nature teases man with its creations,
gifts that astound us and make us marvel,
a coconut is perhaps a fruit with a soul,
the exterior that harbours purity inside.
high above the ground out of hand’s reach,
in families they stay and drop one by one,
a fruit so heavy it...

Coconut Cake

Sometime there’s things I like to make
But I’ll always buy a Coconut Cake
In a box so neat and square
It’s white and light and filled with air
Melts in your mouth with cup of tea
And it’s not made by Sara Lee.
I take a slice, then just...

The Bird and the Coconut

There was a bird
Flying in the jungle
It came across a coconut
Hanging from a tree

The bird landed on the nut
Surveyed its surface carefully
And started to peck against its shell

The bird pecked and pecked
For nearly an hour
Before it stopped

With all of its effort
It...
