Padraig was a talented man
stroked the harp in sack-cloth kaftan
blew tin whistles sweetly
sang harmony completely
now immortalised on a Guinness can

she split down her kaftan down the middle
spread hips imagination and playful foreshores
lay down on the beach and listened to the waves
at first the sand ground at her passion but soon
the salt of the ocean moistened appetite for more
as she sailed on ebbs flows and pleasure let free
her lover joined at mid-riff played with her pearl
anchored on their pulsating coral reef of delight
the stroboscope of a lighthouse pointed the way
erect near a beach hut of drift wood and starfish
shadows applauded uncensored communal rapture
until drift spilled ripples and spray into the waft
motionless they remained at the tide line of joy
imagined a wild fire roaring way into the night
retold their story and rejuvenated their dreams

Sighted I a muddy cottage that stand erected not on earth Ready to collapse with the help of a very kind heavy wind
Through it cracked walls I saw the family that conserved using the language of hunger And their children befriended the crying
The day has knocked through their souls With vacant stomach like ravenous rat In search of morsel they move to and fro
They screamed for help to the devil and evils Who's was listed not in their menu and charity is no longer in existence
They swims in the ocean of misery And has painted their souls for a morsel they may loose their souls Surrounded by un pitiful riches
Ignominy is the kaftan they worn They forgot that poverty is insanity not
But They abhored to lulls their souls
Oh! this souls together we shall foster and bring them succour Not became like eagles and faunas Who only knows their family and friends

I met a Muslim family living down the road,
And I thought they’d be different in every kind of way.
But in the mornings they just wake up, get dressed,
Feed the cat, and they do this every single day.
Beside them lives a retired Jewish couple, two cars and a dog,
Their son had moved across town.
Their son moved in with an African woman
Who wears her kaftan, and head dress with a gown.
And the family run shop down the corner,
With the friendly Asian guy always ready for a chat.
That’s where I met the Brazilian theatre performer,
And she invited me to her show called “Acrobat”.
At the gig I sat beside an Egyptian guy,
He was so in awe just like he was holding his new born.
He was there with his French lover,
And we all talked and laughed and shared some popcorn.
It turns out everyone I met in life from every cultural hub,
Has the same desires, wants and needs.
It’s the politicians spreading hate and fear to exclude,
And regular folk planting the inclusive seeds.

Really its painful,
To let it go, go and cry,
Its uncertain that there’ll be another chance,
To make it wide,
No it ain’t right to cry foul,
I cry for when I fail,
To sigh on the faults I have,
Trailing behind the crowd,
I see the sight…..
And still they blame me,
Even if I wasn’t there…..
To whine and go? Nope I will mess
Shutting the windows closed,I see,
I know,
I have to offer a kaftan,
And later be given alms.
The good service we share,
It’s nigh to reign……
I cry a little and I let it go,
Seemingly out of track,
Say it over again,
I’ve been thrown to the scavangers,
And now I see it in your mind,
Give me your time,
Then we’ll wiggle,
Shawty I’ll get you along my freaks,
I shall set you free,
Don’t gramble for nothing,
But I see it gone.
You see,I have been dumped,
The pain is in me.

The Carpet Seller and Dali Lama
The carpet seller in Cascais is tall wears kaftan and his ebony
face looks as a relief of an Egyptian Farao…. Carries his carpets
on his forearm (like an offering) and show to tourists who sit
drinking cold beer at pavement cafes. When they ask how much
he quotes a price impossible high for his worn rugs, to be sure
no one buys because he doesn´t want to sell them. He just like to
walk around, it is his ways, when tired he sits on a bench folds
the rugs on his lap dreamily stroke them and smiles.
Where he goes when it rains I don´t know, perhaps he has got
a room somewhere, a bed, a book shelf and a postcard from
Senegal pinned on the wall. I noticed he wears solid boots as
Dali Lama does when flying around the world meeting famous
people, giggles and says simple things about life and freedom.
The carpet seller is not going home he has become a colourful
part of the townscape, and Dali Lama will not see Tibet again

Summers day
a picture of a thatched house with all it's glow
arch way's filled with mother natures bloom's
rose's that trail for as far as the eyes can see
red's,yellow's,pink's,White's,purple's,
fresh cut grass so sweet to the summer's smells
a plane humming so ever peaceful,
blue bell's and daffodils that dance to the soft wind's blow
wheat field's so golden to the look
flowers with such grace that stand there place
see summer's so beautiful for my love to see

To all things beautiful that's to you
for your reflection will never fade away
for my loneliness will always stay
for my heartache and lust will always be forever gray
for the forbidden love is you
for the passion is so forever new
for the clouds will cry for my heart will die

why did you push me away
you promised my you would stay
the clouds are so forever gray
oh for where is that beautiful day my heart lost for my hand are broken

so please help my hands of love heal
please take away my heart of stone
for i don't want to be alone

Ben sensiz yabanci her sey hayatta
Durur doner canim sila tasinda.
Sorarlar yeniden nasilmiyim ben.
Yazim cizgim gururum onurum.
Aglarim arkamdan dostlar mendilim.
Kefenim nakislanmis toprak bicilmis kaftan.
Ucarmiyim umidine cocuklugum omrum ruyam.
Doganin bir yudum nefesi tinsiz hayat kuresi .
Kopursem volkan olsa ofkem yasarmiyim yeniden .
Aglarim arkamdan dostlar mendilim
Dogarmiyim senle yeniden martilarin kanatlarinda.
Acan yildiz cicek basucumda yatarim adanin sehitliginde.
Gorgemli basim hasret askima yagmur olsa bedenim kaybolsa toprakta.
Aglarim arkamdan dostlar mendilim
