Coconut
I used to live in a coconut.
That’s what they say.
Living in coconut flesh.
Cracking open.
With a machete.
So that there is nothing left to do.
But sit on the beach.
I used to go to therapy.
But now therapy lives in me.
Like a locket.
Lost in the ocean.
Always at the

UNDER THE COCONUT LEAVES
I dream of wonders,
The wonders of wonderland,
Where I feel lonely
But not less lonely.
He and I, My God,
I feel the dirt
Between my toes
Below my both feet
Ignoring its sweat
Above the ground whispering
“What do you know, about love?”
Did not reply...
Until steps forward
Heard the voice echoed
From distant wind
Mumbling “How have you been
All these years?”... silently forgetting.
With my both arms

Mama’s Coconut Cake
soft as a whisper, light as air
layers stacked with tender care
coconut spun like winter’s lace
a birthday wish, a warm embrace
frosting whipped, not much too sweet
but rich with love, a secret treat
each bite a cloud, a sugared dream
vanilla kissed with coconut cream
the candles flicker, shadows dance
her hands so sure, her knowing glance
she cuts a slice, sets

ALAFFIA EVERYDAY COCONUT SHAMPOO
ALAFFIA EVERYDAY COCONUT SHAMPOO
Yours truly (me)
just an ordinary primate from the human zoo,
who while ambling along
the boulevard of broken dreams on a Green Day
(just me and my shadow)
I experienced unexpected lionizing flattery
courtesy Pink Floyd,
he went ape and shouted "hey you"
out there in the cold
getting lonely, getting old
but honest to dog,
I took the road less traveled
unexpectedly

Coconut Wireless
I am flowered in the shade of bird wings
neath patch of deep sadness absent of clouds
beholden to loosen memories mist filtered
cell charged energies their liberal release
bars that separate the spirited guardians
of fortitude held till dawn gilded rays shone
on the levy's shoreline thrashing waves
tethering the oceanic breezes crowning the
curling tops of surf swirling foams that

COCONUT CRAVINGS
COCONUT CRAVINGS
In the heart of tropic lands, they stay,
Two lovers 'neath the coconut tree,
Basking in its abundance, at play,
As coconut water flows wild and free.4
Underneath the azure sky so bright,
They sip on their coconut water, sweet.
In the golden sunshine's warm delight,
A taste that makes their love complete.8
The purity of that coconut sweet,
Clears

COCONUT OF THE CARIBBEAN
Fish a floating coconut from edge of the Caribbean Sea
Hux the outermost part with a machete
See its brown hairy shell hard as a rock,
Pierce its eyes, which will rain healing waters.
Cut out the white meat for lunch or dessert!
Create some ornament from its polished shell.

almonds and coconut
she smells of almonds and coconut
hair in curls and auburn hues
the perfect stance, the perfect glow
i feel my heart beats skip and fall
if she would see me, if she would hear
my close confessions within the dark
but here i stand against a beach cart
wondering how pathetic i may seem
almonds and coconut
subtle delights
awaiting creme or powdered sugar

Beneath the cobalt sky, where legends are spun,
Island life unfolds, as traced by the sun.
Amidst the palms, a verdant ballet,
A choreography of chores, in the island's sway.
Fishing boats gently bob, tales in their wake,
Nets entangled with the morning's ocean handshake.
Fishermen, weathered, their hands tell the story,
In salt-stained shirts, a testament to the island's glory.

In water, coconuts filled with water,
how many profitable hotels are there?
How many benefits do we get from a coconut?
Who knows how many diseases have been cured by this?
whether it is raw or packed,
