After Clouds Depart
She thinned to vapour, blue as longing's edge, while we searched skywards, calling her lost name. Wind replied in whispers no one could catch– just hollow notes strung on a frayed thread. Now dusk repeats her gesture: palms upturned, spilling light where her shadow once poured. We drink the rain, still tasting her farewell. ...

A High Rain
Yesterday was hot, it nailed its peeling skin to a desiccated air. This morning, rain is falling, but it has yet to land - a weightbearing sky creaks though it does not break. Above straining clouds a dam has broken, perhaps the deluge will crush all before it, but not yet, earth’s frying pan is lit and smoldering. The wilting dawn cannot wash its face, bedsheets smell...

Go summer, come autumn
Days too long for the sun to bite still hard, All trees bring forth leaves that are mostly green, Different hues are what summer fails to preen, With grace, yet with force, summer's hands bombard. Rain may catch even the prepared off guard, Its runoff sweeps paved roads fresh, clear and clean, Its grains and pebbles make the oceans glean, Yet...

The Wanderer
There is a place he knows of rest it is a place in wooded mist and days of wandering in sorrow ways his broken heart returns this day she's waiting weeping by the door and cries his name her silent call her voice of whispers through tower of tree's like soft cloud leaves upon the breeze there's gentle rain on steps through out but...

Potholes In My Heart
The scent of wet Earth rises a ghost from beneath the lavish bungalow. and above the high-end ceilings and chandeliers which never flicker. Nostalgia trickles down like sweat Glimpses of plastic buckets catching rain and our salty tears flood the eyes. Flashbacks strike like lightning remembering the only toy- an abandoned kite I tried to fly in rain dampens my spirit. Loud wails roar like thunder hearing the...

African Rain
It falls with grace. Metallic bawls hail the strength of zinc roofs. At the mercy of the thatch, Drops drip from needle points of skeletal Palm fronds. Particles of rain descend on thresholds Among dewed terrains. The petrichor befriends the atmosphere, Caressing limpid warmth with floating cold. Lightning, a white dancing Anaconda, races with speed, Filling the tenebrous plains with lights of hope. Troubled skies ululate...

The Things I Never Buried
I never buried certain names, They lingered like a scent in air. I whispered them through window panes And found them waiting everywhere. I never buried childhood roads— The ones I walked with bleeding knees. They live inside the softest odes And bloom like ghosts among the trees. I never buried what she said The night the silence broke our bed. Her voice still echoes...
