Best Trade Wind Poems

As tangy waft  careens into my mind
To softly rouse a glittering twilight,
I frolic with the northern breeze, refined 
On imprints of an ever- threading night. 

And copper-like, my senses mildly clothed
with fibrils tracing ripples on warm flesh;
this zephyr cool guides evensong hollowed
by a mystique...

Chalk-white faces, chapped lips and infected footsoles,
Harmattan, she has come again, announcing her 
presence like a proud royalty's entourage.

Mothers clad their infants in thick clothes 
like north pole elves,
motorcyclists cruise around town with watery eyes 
mourning the chill of the early morning continental 
trade wind....

It is time for them to run  

In the Jersey Shore tourist sun  

Continuing their three-year-old campaign  

Feeling the warmth of youthful fame  

Before being sent out to be studs  

And replaced by next year’s Kentucky rose buds  

Haskell...

Golden streams of fresh sunshine flush the day
bringing esoteric  galleons to bay
filled from a pointed hull to shapely stern 
exulting teas and spices badly yearned 

Subdued by scents of affection afloat
passions spill in quills admiration wrote
embracing the union of sun and moon
and of breathless...

I saw you riding the wild waves
cool trade-wind breezes blowing,
through your long dark curly hair; 
dropping off the lip in adrenaline rush
through spectacular silver liquid tubes
as you obsessed glassy spiral perfection
so wantonly barrel dragging your hand 
caressing her curves, so seductively
the ultimate liquid thrill 
then...

Love me now
Love me today

Wait not, 
for tomorrow
Tomorrow waits, 
today waits not!

Let me know, today,
you love me
show me, today,
you will love me, tomorrow

Let today be the beginning,
of tomorrow, 
let it be the beginning,
of always and for ever

Let me hear, today,
in the warmth of your breath,
in...

Scripted be these endless visions the faithful child; candy-striped....
Sugar coated vertical horizons ? Romanesque, their arches round'about
Obsidian's encircling glass and dark her ages skipping squares your, pyramids
Agamemnon's, subservient generations far from unique their trojan horse, wars ?
Sir Lancelot with her Guinevere's jigzaw puzzle Arabian Knights...

Ocean depression
Clouds pulled in by low pressure
Suck inside moisture.

Hurricane is born
Eye follows the track blindly
The trade wind decides.

Distant shore attracts
Hurricane rushes lands hard
With windstorm and rains.

High waves surge inland
Storm flattens things on the way
Rains flood the lowland.

Homeless people stand
On gloom and devastation
Future uncertain.

Trail of hurricane
Furrows...

MY NEIGHBOR KOFI
LOCATION: Mazamaza, Lagos, Nigeria:
My neighbor kofi, 
The computer scientist
At 34,
He crisscrossed, jetcrosed, redcrossed,
And hobnobbed around the globe:
Kathmandu, Acapulco and the Galapagos 

He dined and wined
Like there was no tomorrow 
He dined and wined 
With Kings and queens;
Cuban cigars, dom perignon 59, Cabernet Sauvignon;
Lamborghini...

Behold the flageolet wizard wand — 
at each windpipe end,
it toe tag taps the same dirge sound

Abominable Gomorrah black buries
to the left
Vile Yeti blinking Babel blue buries
to the right

This voodoo mint stick
shows you the same Al Jolson face,
no matter which dark side
of the hex coin...

With billowed sails the Schooner glides across the open sea
The crew secures the rigging as they’ve done through history
Port side there’s a Humpback coming up to take a look
They watch in pure amazement its like a picture from a book.

The Skipper takes the Helm and...

Trade wind!
Bring me back in the days I was as small as a seed
Glimmering and growing under glass
I feel nostalgic for those days
When time was countless
Oh God of heavens!
I wish those days they didn’t stop
Because every single one was a holiday
Bringing with it its share...

Britain sets sail to find a deal.
A lengthy voyage now starts.
The captain plots the way ahead
with complex EU charts
from the Maritime Directive
in all its ninety parts.

Oh what a frightful sea to sail
to reach the land called Brexit Deal.

They cast off in a steady breeze;
the crew...

In 100 Years

In 2118 will there still be love
as we ride in driverless cars?
We will have used the Earth all up
for real estate on Mars.

In 2118 will there still be war
when all cancer can be cured,
medical miracles not known before
with a longer life assured.

In 2118...
