The Bliss of Hamattan I

In rustling sways, the leaves sings the orchestra.
Playing the chords of the dry desert winds..
Herald tunes of humid mist from the savanna.
In myrtle swings of blue..

A chilly gloom of haze grips the dawn.
As mistful hue sets the morn.
A timely chase to the eve of Christmas.
In dusty myriads ashore.

But if the chimes of Christmas songs..
Brings the gifts of santa claus..
Then let the dry winds of Hamattan.
Wipe wanes and toils off course.

In jingles sings the ringing chiming bells.
As dry leaves adorn the ground.
Gleaming forth in homeward bound.
The avalanche movement swells.

Swallowed in drought the thirst sets in.
As water becomes a means.
The fowls at Christmas are bought for kill.
Garnished in wholesome meals.

Happy glee blooms the Christened day.
The birth of the Son of God.
Many in this day are led astray.
Profanity in lust accord.

In sweetened beams chimes the homonyms.
As fireworks adorn the eve.
And many a few are lost in bliss.
Of sacred songs and hymns.

In salient haven of peace.
The dry chills held me calm.
Of sweetened hymns in glorious feast.
The bliss of Hamattan.

Muted Conversation IX

Tonight i would stay awake and think about how we eloped into mysteries. You came in and stuffed my mind with effervescent chemistry. I couldn't breathe. All i knew was, i wanted to strip you naked and disvirgin your imagination with words borne from a heart yearning for intimacy. But i was dumb... silence gagged me like a prisoner tortured by the snares of grief. All i could see was temptation staring at me in stern disbelief. "Do something" my alter ego would say. But all i could do was take my mind on a erotic spree to love's garden. I would take your hands and slowly caress them light and thin. Hypnotizing my senses into the pores of your skin. I wanted you to feel what i feel. I wanted to dissolve into your memories and hack them with images of me. I wanted to wet the appetite between your thighs with testimonies of godliness and raw passion. I wanted to perform the ceremony of consummation. I would look at you and break into a smile governed by naughty ideas and...

Sunbeams

The sun beams its rays of light Into an eerie fog of darkness. Paving way for joy to dance its way Into the shadows of night. Surreal silence then decides to prey On this joy, transforming it to fear. The fog then morphs into faces of demons. Dining in a feast of fright. The sun beams again to disrupt the darkness And chaos sets in. The mind of joy enlivens into straws of hope. Standing in a congregation singing. "Rays of joy...rays of spoil. Shine with colors that destroy. Rays of joy, come restore. Beams of hope and faith employ To a heart so frail and thin And a mind, timid and weak Shine with grace so strong and heal Open wounds and age long scars" The sun beams now rays of hope. Forming a rainbow in a desert of whispers. Reality becomes a dream. Blistering fantasies into the winds. Then suddenly i wake into shards of loneliness Beaten by the fray of a long lost bond. The sun beams onto my face As i look out to the window Staring at nothing. H...

DREAMS

I Dreams flutter around my head.. As i sit down, eating beans and bread.. Dancing in my mind are mangled hopes. Entwined like a labyrinth of many ropes.. Fighting against the wiles of profanity.. The mind wanders through the plains of Sagacity.. Trained like a monk, to show no pain.. The soul becomes undaunted, in the midst of rain.. Zeal becomes the madman who, In his quest for knowledge, becomes the fool.. Who acts irrational, hated by them.. Who lack discipline, and courage to stand firm.. But through it all, dreams will live on.. Even in the shadows of a dying sun.. For by it, memories still will remain.. In the remnants of time, for they, who lived not in vain.. II There is a garden in the city of the mind.. Where dreams were sown, nurtured and grown.. The farmer was a different unique kind.. With the wisdom to discern the seeming unknown.. With an understanding of the times and seasons.. He made sure no crop withered or died.. He lived in the hut of logical rea...
