Camino en sociedad de ignorancia,
Donde palacios son corruptos por efectos de arrogancia;
Pasan por nuestros lados,
Echando el ojo, tratando de disimular;
Donde la conciencia es absentista,
Donde todos dicen ser abstencionistas,
Pero, todos son ambiciosos, consumidos y absorbidos por...

Created in the image of Òrisa and Olorun eleda
Visage brighter than Moremi's memories. 
Gifted the body of a voluptuous goddess,
For fear, Mortal men trembled at her sight; "the Oye".
Indeed she was moulded on Ojo àyeyè....

In haste for prey to feed my roaring heart
But tedious to capture
The Lion and  the Jewel departed for nine years
Without saying goodbye

I wandered around like a single pendulum
Wandering...

No cantes para mí, vida mía.
No cantes más para mí.
Cuando tu ojo ya no llore,
porque ya no soy,
No cantes para mí, mi amor.

No pienses en mí nunca mas
Cuando sueñas con otro...

Ojo Caliente


Call on John to
submerse me in the 
Holy waters of the 
Ojo Caliente

Cleanse me deep
In the high desert heat
Hidden in  New Mexico 

Where the ancients came to
breathe new life from beneath
the clear clean...

Gracing and inspiring the world.

She dived from the peak
And attacked with her beak.

She poises her wings
And pierces the mind with a wink.

Where the chug of boiling water pumps
and spills its acids, oxides,
to dye the ice-slabbed hillside orange-red

 lulled half-asleep; first drugged in a broth
of minerals shot from the earth´s...

Current of fresh air, the moon also ripe

Amidst queries – we reached about stars
Why the luminance, clusters, variance?
Non astrologer, She did a best

But one premise struck
Each man...
