like a snake sleep-
ng goddess of lov
intelligence of complete
maturation electric cur-
rents rising up we
were on the gree
n earth chantin
emotional upheavals sur-
facing repressed desir-
es boiling up spreadin
into a whole body re-

Rendered seed concealed in Love's nest
Tendered sapling fondling mother's breast
Adolescent twig fluttering with pubescent zest
Immature leaves on mating quest
Maturing frond passing coupling test
Cherished branches sprout; hearth's bough dressed
In due time, seasoned fruit; perpetuity's crest
Stale, desiccate limbs; vitality's inquest...

Our own old folk
Upon this mountain were you born
To pour wisdom from the pen
As you shape Africa's theme
To reveal Africa's new brood
A million  salutations you deserve
For defining our own Pattern of dust 
As we climb this mountain
On which we hope to touch heaven
As we go through this maturation
Which you taught us
With your glasses on
Like your own Sebi
Whom made me his own Plato...

Have you ever seen the little puppies,
Have you ever noticed how sweet and akward they are?
One puppy wants love, the second puppy wants attention,
The third puppy wants to bite the master's  socks))
But every of them wants to show who the best and strongest is,
In a hierarchy of sweet and soft domestic dogs.
Mm.. love them!

P.S. devoted to my beloved dog Dars (childhood period of maturation)...

dead of night draws near
and he suffers
inside the silence
the stillness
of the land
loam looming
encrypting upon his hand
bare
as his glance
a mirror mulling of a past
eyed
foreseeing a fertile future
as she comes


he pauses
in the mist of maturation
of the trees
his forest blend
bent to the cue of man
braved
he braves the hidden blue
and breathes
her scent...

I am tasting the pristine water melted from the highest mountain up high
Dancing with the sun's rays over glazing summer's green grass
Floating with the weltering waves of a vast ocean at sunset
Riding the aborning knowledge of our next generation
Smelling the chastity of the first bud of spring bloomed with beauty and maturation
I am exploring your heart
laving your soul
sharing your thoughts
before I can love you...

Aiming to be truly great,
where there is no debate.
It is a very natural instinct:
An instinct inherently innate. 

We were created uniquely special.
I have come to this given realization.
This is surely a fateful maturation.
To rightly aim at this destination.

Obstacles may come in the way.
People can give their no and disdain.
Tides will bring gifts and then go away.
Part of being great, is to stay on this train....

This merciless invasion
A wolf in incubation
Deadly maturation
Mandatory isolation

Fear upon fear amplification
World-wide gargantuan
A new generation
Of lives in detention

Many made concessions
Amongst frustrations
Swilling in the stagnation
Of nature's destruction

Unmerciful predation
No retaliation
Where is salvation
On this train of extinction

Oh God help the nations
Escape this damnation
Save us from ruination
And give us resurrection...

Secretly planted
a mystery seed
took root
and nurtured
crept through a darkness
knowing not
the drawing force
weaving past the obstacles
of growth
reaching for an unfelt warmth
driven by an unknown
knowing
a purpose
exposing to the world
fragile buds
protected by stoic roots
destined to explore
its deepest self
The mystery is not
in the seeds
it is in the process
growth
maturation
fulfillment
of the mystery
within the seed
