   A celestial dance, infinite grace
in the grandeur of 
ancient yearned place.
A Red Giant lassos 
his pearly bride,
keeps her from roaming the desert face.
A vow is exchanged, a cosmic bond living, 
alive with...

Africa, the land of first breath,
Where the sun kissed the soil and diamonds wept from the womb of the earth.
A continent dressed in gold and green,
Where rivers write scriptures and mountains sing freedom.

As the dark veil covered the sky,
I was left with no choice but to resign to fate.

Flowers of peace are now magnificently blossoming
In the gardens of the battlefields of Khartoum and Kinshasa.

She is the mother place of all humanity.
From her womb was birthed the first man.
The first self aware and inventive beast,

When caught mid-flight
End to bloat against gravity
Thanks, rejection is not of the earth

My eyes are welling

As biology goes, I'm surviving,
a few aches and pains and a cough
and I check every morning when in the bathroom
to see if my bits have dropped off.

and likes to...

A curio shoppe on the edge of Khartoum
on the edge of the world
on the cusp of our doom
  smouldering incense
bade us come in
a cornucopia
whispered my friend
an aura of daydreams
dappled the air
a cyclone of chaos
