I HAVE TRAVELLED THIS LONG AND DISTANT ROAD IN SEARCH OF YOU MY BELOVETH.
WHY MUST YOU HAUNT ME WITHIN THE CONFINES OF MY DREAMS? WHY MUST YOU
TORTMENT ME IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY AND THE COOL OF THE NIGHT? I HAVE FOUGHT
THE ANGRY FOULS OF THE AIR AND HAVE DEFEATED THE BEAST OF THE FIELDS, THAT I
MIGHT CONTINUE THIS QUEST IN SEARCH OF YOU. YET, TO NO AVAIL HAVE I EMRACED
NOTHINGNESS.
I HAVE SEEN THE UNWANTED LIGHTS OF THE NIGHT SKY. PLEASE LET ME BE AS THE BLIND
WHO SEE ONLY WITH THE EYES OF THEIR HEARTS. DO NOT LET ME AWAKEN ANOTHER
DAWN WITHOUT YOUR LOVE OF EMINENCE.
WHAT EPIDEMIC IS THIS THAT HAS BEFAILED ME. HAVE THOU NOT KNOWN SINCE THE
DAWN OF TIME THAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE. YOU HAVE COME FROM THE VERY TOUCH OF
MY EXISTENCE. FOR YOU ARE THEE, WHOSE CENTER MOVES ALONG THE CIRCUMFERENCE
OF MY WHOLE BEING.
MY DARLING WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN THE SEARCH FOR THIS ENRICHED AND
PRESERVERED LOVE WHICH AWAITS FOR NO OTHER BUT THEE? WHY HAVE THOU HARDEN
THINE HEART AND TURNED A DEAF EAR TO MY WAILING AND WEEPING FOR MY MISSING
RIB.
OH MY EVE, WHERE CANST THOU BE? EACH BREATH THAT I TAKE WITHOUT YOU ,
BECOMES MY AWAITING INSCRIPTION ON MY TOMB IN MEMORY OF THE SEARCH FOR THEE.
THUS SHALL IT READ:HE DILIGENTLY SEARCHED FOR HER WHOM HIS SOUL LOVETH, YET
SHE NEVER CAME FOR HER ADAM. OH HOW MELLIFLUOUS WAS MY MIND AND HEART, FOR
THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE MISSING.
(for: Deborah Guzzi)
The forest sings for her hunter
The twin of the fierce panther –
& I sing a sonorous song
That echoes beyond the sky
Of a thousand miles;
I sing like Dinta the hunter
Craving the hearts of clansmen
& the soul of my native drum
To greet a maiden of a lofty dance
This huntress beyond the Niger’s banks!
& fondly I bend to cast
I poise pleasantly like laying a wreath
To sing like Dinta the hunter
To cast my songs on these marbles
The marbles on her memory
’Tis a memory of a thousand miles
To greet a maiden of a lofty dance
This huntress beyond the Niger’s banks!
A perfect cast I crave
The melodious weaver’s band
Of songsters, of dancers, of praise-singers
I crave the ancient hearts of drummers
To dance the dance, my native dance
& drum the drum, my native drum
To greet a maiden of a lofty dance
This huntress beyond the Niger’s banks!
For she who drank of the dregs
Of yonder Niger’s banks
'Tis the rite, my write, our write
The fruit of my forest
The forest of my songs
The songs of my drum
The drum of my clan –
O, the forest sings for her hunter
A hunter still in poise for a huntress?
I HAVE TRAVELLED THIS LONG AND DISTANT ROAD IN SEARCH OF YOU MY BELOVETH.
WHY MUST YOU HAUNT ME WITHIN THE CONFINES OF MY DREAMS? WHY MUST YOU
