Thirteen poems...

Africa…

Longin’
For it…
Africa
On
My
Mind…

A scent,
A whisper,
A Zulu shield…
A dream,
A drum,
On
My
Mind…
Childhood
Memory…

Love it,
Forever…




Hi, again…

Hi, mom,
Hi, dad,
Again…

Last cigar…
May be…
Last booze,
For sure!

Last dream?
Never!!

African sunsets,
Always!!!

Thanks…



Everybody’s sleepin’!…

Still
Here,
Waitin’
For a call…

A voice
Within,
Silently,
Shortly,
Sharply
Deeppenin’…

Just
Waitin’…
For sleep…
For some peace…
Or…
A battle,
For hope!!...






Hi, again 2 …

You give me
The light,
You give me
An african
Dawn,
An african
Beach,
All over
My
Life…

Just missin’
You two…


Rythm of passages (endlessly…)


And then
There was
A sign,…
And then,
There was
A sound…
A drum…
Awakening,
Endless,
White
Leaf,
Finally
Written…


How things begin…

White,
Wakenin’
Wonder…


Just
Some
Words,
On
A
White
Wanderin’
Piece
Of
Paper…


Unanswered call…

A swift, sharp doubt,
A single, sight, not seen…

An overall whole,
A sand desert,
With no sound…


Just
Wind,
On
My
Mind…


But, I’m all right… (to Simon&Garfunkel...)

But, I’m all right…
All right,

Just
Missin’
You all…

Just
Feeling sad…

But,
I,
Am,
All,
Right…



And there was a time…

And there was a time…
When I was too young
To see,
Who I was,
Where I was…

And there is a time,
When I’m too old,
To see,
Who am I,
Where I am,
Or,
Where I’m
Going…




Mornin’ comes…

Mornin’ comin’
Again…

Some more silent words,
Not said, not thought,
Not whispered…

Mornin’ comin’
Again…
Hopin’,
Not hopin’,
For some
Skyish
Shinin’
Sign,
Showin’
Somethin’…


Final night whisper…

Drumin’
Drums
Of
A
Dream…

‘Dreadnought’
Daring
Dauntless
Waves…

Sailin’
Silently,
Sleeplessly,
Searchin’
Solace
Harbour,
Heaven port…


13th poem… (on a night)

Mindless pen
On an endless
Night…

Too many
Rumblin’,
Roaring
Lines…

Just waitin’
A sleep call,
That never,
Happened…
