MANSA MUSA OF MALI
Greatness was his to inherit
Breaking free from shells of gold
Soaring on wings of diamond so bold
Across the vast and rich lands of Mali.
Well-versed in the culture of his motherland
A gem in trade, a leader in heart
Mansa Musa, a beacon of strength
Guiding Mali to heights untold.
From a young age, like the morning sun

M and S Or Ms Musa
do you know
how to throw
a lasso
do you not
know how
to tie a knot
knitting a
whip with
your brows
your brows
you can use
to beat me
but treat me
as if you
wanted
me
since
language
of the body
is different
from speech
but
to each
their own
but
you
own
me

Mi True Musa
my muse
is not my
wife
i would
like but
she is
more then
twice my
age younger
a smile
raising
more
warmth
then a
sunrise
eyes
that shine
animalistic
mystically
hypnotizing
me
but breathing
the poetic
breath
that all
great muses
do
and
she
does

Mi Musa
i know a muse
who knows me
when we kiss
she breathes
poetry
with this verb
there's a third
person
present
not me
the poetry
itself not
selfishly
becomes
another
expressively
unendingly
beyond
reality
simply
being
more then
words until
i can't
speak
no need
for the
senses
reel in
dance
when we
kiss
i never
close my
eyes

Jebel Musa
O mystic man,
sorcerer
He with the scar
marked over his heart
Lead the foolish astray,
lead them the false way
Jebel Musa
Born on the night of the blood moon
Practitioner of the dark arts,
conjuring mirages for a fee
You taught the children of Balaam well ...
had them to drink deep from the covetous cistern,
the corrupting waters

Musa the Village Honey Harvester
bees make honey-old news
and Musa,
yes Musa, the rugged,
self acclaimed village bachelor harvests honey
his farm has a drone of hives,
bees seem to like him
and for some reason, the village women as well
this day, under a hot tropical sun,
a bunch of old village men sit crouched
the agenda of the day awaits
on one side sits Musa
