Dot On the Ceiling

The black little spot,  
On the white ceiling,
Moving about in slow motion, 
Like an ancient dhow during monsoon, 
So little so moving so black so soft.

A Little Grey Dog

I saw him from a distance, 
Melancholic little soul,
Sad petit cute face,
Lost soulful dog,
With eyes so ephemeral so real.

You Intoxicate Me

I refused to age because of your love,
It always makes me feel young, 
This wine intoxicates my mind,
Everything seem beautiful. 

Beat those drums, give me that rhythm,
Sing with that voice from heaven,
Tear my heart with awe, 
Your majesty seems wonderful.

You are my heart, I prostrate, 
Your presence is too potent,
As your face radiates, 
Everything seem incredible.

Yonder

Yonder, 
How true so it sounded, behold,
Beyond imagination, beyond truth,
As far as horizons eternally go, 
I know you are there, yonder.

The Mirror That Died Yesterday

My old mirror died yesterday,
Broken into thousand pieces,  
I guess it so decayed, 
I let it to rest in peace at last. 

I got myself a new mirror,  
I put it in the same frame, 
Alas and behold this mirror, 
It shows and reflect wrong images.

What has changed I know not, 
Is the old mirror jealous I know not, 
Is the new mirror fake I know not, 
But what I see is me not.

A Silly Little Adventure

In a nick of moment, I saw your face,
I memorized the eyes and the lips,
I saw your body and I saw your moves, 
I followed you with my eyes until, you, I could no more see. 

Second day, I passed the same long boulevard,
Hoping to see you passing and looking by, 
It was exasperating in such a melancholic hour, 
I was unlucky, where did you go that day?

Third day no more sign of you,
Did you disappear where I cannot find you? 
Why you torment me so, you?
Didn’t your eyes say that you would belong  here? 

Fate is not without a sense of irony,
My fate is never to see you again, 
Will you ever remember I winked at you?
So I was nothing and nothing absolutely to you?

Eternity

Under the vanilla skies 
The evening fell 
Under it a caravan of thousand camels 
On a lush mountainous desert 
So narrow yet so vast 
They marched on, their masters on their feet
On and on they moved watching over the horizons 
Moving so slowly so eternally.

Dimpho

Dimpho,
Such a feeling, only the one who feels it knows it,
Both the lover and the beloved are one, 
For lovers meet everywhere, 
No boarders and no boundaries, 
They are always one. 

Their journey is endless, 
They are always journeying freely, 
Even now they are, 
In silence I hear your voice, 
There is you in me and me in you. 

When you are awake and asleep, 
Like the moon and the sun, 
You are everywhere, 
In my thoughts and in my being,
You are always there. 

Like a spinning wheel always in motion, 
I wheel on this love around, 
You are my everything, 
In everything I come across, 
You many in one. 

My heart has no door for you, 
For it is always open, 
Behold, there are no walls for you, 
You just entered, 
And forever you have stayed.

You Too

What I see is, and what I see not is too. 
When I felt it, I really felt it in you too. 
When I heard it, it was if I heard you.
When I fell silent, you became silent too. 
What if I become you too? 
Will there be two of us, me and you?

Come Back Beloved

So I sang like no other, 
Full of joy and tears, 
Praising your existence. 

Like an endless journey, 
Full of adventures,
Loving your presence. 

Like occasions of laughter,
Yet full of hopes and despair, 
Come back my princess. 

Come, give me meaning, 
Come like a queen, 
Will be like your King.
