Origin

Poets are like clowns sometimes
We painted beauty out of wasteland
Clowns expressed humour from despair Sometimes

The miracles of love

let’s look up to the sky
to count the miracles of love
before the meteor shower

how love made us

soared among the avalanche
swam in a whirlpool of clouds

poured out composition of
distinctive colour contrasts
from a desolate interior
created masterpieces that
transcend emotions and impact
with buzzing noises

smiled brightly in monochromatic suffering
wept deeply for the oppressed in our triumph

love is boundless
even the shooting stars are
no match for her

Light

when I see your face

my soul sparkles through the crescents
to absorb the mirror image of yours

my wrinkles flee from the past
to foretell the future

when I see your face

my darkest days are merely inconvenience
like a cup of ill-made coffee

my ailing body is just an excuse
to curl up next to you

when I see your face

the world around me dims
to a backdrop of the milky way

when I see your face

Nature

The tortoise and the hare

born lacking of a physique for speed
sloth looking
agreed to a race with
a born to run anxious jumpy stick

winning the race was
not by luck
nor by strategy
purely by being one’s self

failure is not guaranteed
to realise that is
an identity affirmation

success is not guaranteed
to accept that is
an achievement in itself

Life’s highs and lows

an empty plastic bag
danced in the wind
Fouetté, Grand Jeté, Plié
took a bow

blown away

hung on the tip of a mast
sailed towards sunset horizon
with a distended belly

rolled away

whiplashed by ocean waves
deflated under the
anaemic moon

drifted off

String of pearls

green bubbles
beat down to cover
the arid ground
infuse the desert
with the scent of
cinnamon

the crown of
an african queen
admirable in distance
poisonous to the touch

Caffeineaholic

every morning
you are my first thought
to guide my eyes open

your aromour is like
the genie
twirling out of the bottle
to fulfil my wishes

I get my hopes up
throughout the day
just like
most of the modern medicines
camouflage the symptoms
but cure nothing

I am hyped up
to watch myself
crashing in the margin of
a rollercoaster ride

An Angel

To our Baby Danielle on 6th September 2015

Surprisingly you came and surprisingly you went.
We didn’t get to meet you in the sunlight.

It’s comforting to know
our Heavenly Father keeps you
close to Himself as a gift which
He freely gives and freely takes away.

We love you Baby Danielle!
You are always safe in the palm of His hand.
