SET THAT FIRE
Daughter of Africa,
Set that fire ablaze within you,
The one they tried to douse with doubt,
The one buried beneath years of silence.
Set it roaring, let it speak for your ancestors,
Who built kingdoms with their bare hands,
Who...

YaldaHad you not pierced my heart with sorrow's dart,
Nor led my yearning lips to love's swift start,
The moon, a tearful eye, would not have gazed,
Upon my river, where my soul is crazed.
No surging waves of...

Facing Baptism Of FireWhile young, boldly go out
To meet the baptism of wind
Frost, rain and snow
Practice a patient, open-minded
Wise heart to save yourself
Happiness will come in this world
No one really help you
Except yourself, striving for glory....

Playing with FireMost ancient rite and ritual of our race –
Passing millennia cannot numb its spell.
Billions before, yet each instance sends
Shockwaves echoing through heaven and through hell.

The fates of hearts...

A Spark can Start a FireThe earth is crying tear drops from above
Times of dark clouds rain snow and blizzards
With a slippery sidewalk that melts when the sun appears
A spark can start a fire
Funny how she came into my life
And...

Passing Innocence
As I remember
some other Christmas,
tonight frosted lips
ache for us by the
hearth, where you still melt
upon my heart —
how you entered
my lifetime with
childhood love,
Winter's first ~
verses in
aged kindling
...how the
staid fire's

Steady Through the FireThe hours lean heavy,
stacked like bricks without mortar,
a life held upright by sheer will.
Your words—half truth, half courage—
escape before the cracks show,
before the weight turns visible.
It’s not the applause that moves you,
not the light of...

one last kissI look up
To see
His eyes stare into me
Across the square
Behind his sunglasses
Burning passion
I don’t hide away from it
Who doesn’t love a good challenge
I embrace it
He lives it
I am killin it
He seeks it
Reaches for me
Into his...
