POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.
I am Grace
I am Grace
soulfully dancing with elegance
in gossamer gown of my fantasy
I am Grace and I embrace
all my strength and poise
my spirit soars with a joyful heart
I am Grace
lost and returned a gem
unique with the power of grace
that set me apart from others
I am free in my world
where I embrace life with glee
I am Grace
I have cried tears of joy
I have wept in sorrow
traverse through thorns and trials
I have shouted in triumph
I have prayed in my loss
I am Grace,

Middle earth (a collaboration with Diddi)
So here I sit
again and face
a flat screen that's lit
veins pulse with every pace
I have to admit
you drive me insane
waiting for your written
words to take place
all birds they do race
high up in the sky
your name they do trace
sometimes I join their flight
as you take me away
all red and golden times
for us do await
The golden imaginings of an entwining
of souls, needful in their mind
a reaching to a middle world
where desires transcend flesh
where wraiths meet and curl ...

A little dying today
Dirges for my hopes
wailed from my heart
today
choking up my throat
tearing up my eyes
today
A little dying within
happened very slowly
today
A small chant began
within my soul
today
The chant for a dying
soul, incantations for peace
on the travel to the netherworld
today
There is a soul on a passage
to the other side
The spirit of my love
The soul of my heart
The hopes of my dreams
The future of my being
They started dying today
Cos I heard her sleepy voice
besides you, when...

Lonely
Alone on this shore
Looking towards the horizon
I think of you once more
and wish I have forgotten
How we forged promises
Whispered in words
and written on the sand
The sun sets in the horizon
blazing redly against the sea
the sky seems to bleed
into the water
And I think of you
wondering if you see it too
or is it night where you are
and you seek solace
in another's arm
You may remember the silver twilight
that bath the white shore
Caressed by frothy waves
Joined by nocturnal beings
who triumph their...

A quest
Open plains of my imaginings'
or is it a racial memory?
visions of the age of before
a grey tunnel, life time of cycles
in a world of swirling cosmic dust
there I seek you my soul-mate
Gone but not forgotten
to another world, another time
where dreams may come
and promises, old, be honoured
by lips on lips, whispers of the ancient
in old vines of conception
How did I miss you, my love
In this cycle of existence
when before I held your hands
and pledged this very life and existence
how did the parting happen,...

Till death do us part
Yellow was the colour of my love's hair
In the morning when dawn break
lighting us as we lay among the flowers
Under shady leaves drenched with dew
Green canopy was our wedding arch
Gigantic trees looming in benevolence
On the two lovers traipsing up the path
enchanted by the beauty of a quiet forest
White was the bubbles of the creek
as the water flowed quickly and busily
along its pebbly beds to the rivers
We bathed, smiling and laughing as we talked
Blue was the colour of the sky
When we kissed and made love ...

Waiting
The minutes tick by
The falling leaf
drops ever so slowly
The tired coo of doves
echo and re-echo
Waiting is such a tired game
I count my breath
I watch the clouds
I shuffle and shift
lay down and close my eyes
sigh
Tired game, waiting is
You are not here yet...
where are you
I don't know
where are you...
so far away and yet so near
or are you in her arms
tonight?

My Love
My heart says
Lend me your grace, your love your desire
Hold me, stand me up in your arms
Engulf me in fiery passionate fire
Love me with all that is there
in your body and soul
My heart says
Show me love through the strength
of your touch your embrace
Show me love through the sparkle
in your eyes when you look at me
Be my beloved, lover, love personified
I sit here in front of you
a mug of steaming tea
on my hands,
I look at you within
the screen of the computer
and you type 'hi'
I answer...

Hang on
Baby, hang on there
Momma is coming
Oh yes, she is coming
and you will feel better
when she comes
because she will hum
when she comes
and she will moan
when she comes
and then she will scream
a little when she comes...
cos baby, you pee'd
on her best carpet...
Go back to your bassinet!

Dearest Kitty
Show me loving concern
show me compassion
Oh yes, love me, hold me
Hug me tight, don't leave me
Oh my dear, I am wet
everything is sticking to my body
Patiently, waiting here, I sit
waiting for you to stroke me
Please hold me closer
to your warmth
Smell me, my steamy odour
touch me, hold me in your arm
Stroke the length of my body
Please..I really love that
I feel like a baby
being pampered and petted.
Listen to me purr
that shows I am pleased
I love you mister
this pussy is pure...

A brief union
The day you came home
My love, hands entwined
Looking deep each other's eyes
Knowing deep passions and desire
Among the flowers we stand
I unbound myself from the world
The trees shrouding us from them
The day you came home
I unbound myself from contraints
The sea came to the mountain
The wind blew a symphony
of love and sweet belonging
To each other we entwine our soul
in one, through the joining of our bodies
Eve came home to Adam
At the threshold of Eden
lighted by the moon and stars
Breathes met and coalesced...

I loved you once
Strewn on the floor
Face up the Ace of Spades
I remember you then dear
The man who gazed at the stars
Born of woman's blood you are
But you had your Achilles heel
Your touch was Magic
Your voice, melodious like Pans' Music
Your name is ultimate Darkness
however, for you stray, you could not stay
Unfaithfulness was your second name
You just let fly, the lust within you
Bite me you used to whisper
I thought that sexy and cute
Now I know that's how
You say your prayers
Leave...
