Sitting Behind A Baobab Tree Poem

 

I wait to open a love note that I received from him

A thought crosses my mind

Should I doubt the words written so eloquently?

Speaking in a silent mode with no regrets

Revealing the real longing to see you again

My back resting on the brown bark of this baobab tree

Every curve felt through cotton apparels

Seeping through the heart of a very disturbed psyche

Here and now is where I want to be

Loving faithfully

Your letter reads into my thoughts

The very heart that I know belong to me alone

There in your eyes I see you more than I can tell you

Each day means one day with you as I wait

As deep as the roots of this tree are so are mine in your being

I crave to be one with you as your love creates music

I promise never to let another sit under the shade of this tree

Or touch the green leaves that bring a new day

Dusk will find me here waiting for arms that become strong for me

Asleep on my bed I will wait for dawn when it is darkest

I want to see your beaming face near mine

Is it everything you wanted? Our love? Our smile?

I will not wave goodbye until I meet you again under our tree

Sleepless In Nairobi Poem

With this piece of beautifully crafted instrument in my hand

I dream of playing the GUITAR like a maestro

A mahogany bronzed type of guitar

Newly sculpted and polished into a beautiful piece of architecture

This musical instrument with six strings played with my fingers

I want to sing melodies of a lost timeless masterpiece

It won’t matter if it is an ACCOUSTIC

CLASSICAL, ELECRIC or SPANISH guitar

All I want is to strum its tightened beautiful strings

Like a wolf howling at the full moon searching for its mate

I want to find that place where I can tune into this piece of device

While time sleeps awaiting the magic of dawn

I want to know every Semibreve I can hit

The Minim, Crotchet in music that will create Utopia

A magnum opus, of musical manifestations

I want my lips to quiver as I delicately touch the Quaver

Slipping into a Semiquaver of musical intimacy

Now, I know that a Demisemiquaver

Can take away this deep, intense sorrow caused by bereavement

Every signature key on this guitar

I want it to strum out of this piece of art called a guitar

I want to learn

Like an invisible man which string of a guitar makes the best sound?

The First string just sought of happens

To be on my own with the Second string

As the third String belts out a ballad of loneliness

Can the fourth string bring love that got carried away?

My sweet song only the Fifth string is always melodious

It’s not what you say or what you do

It’s the Sixth string that says I love you

As I can’t breathe

I want to sip in and feel the figure eight on this guitar

Close to my heart as my fingers slither through those strings

Fingers of my right hand picking and plucking at this strange sound

Fingers of my left hand gently tapping away in unison

To create the most perfect aroma of a Sharp note

Leading to one which is Natural ending into a Flat note

In exquisite droplets of rhythms

Playing the guitar I dream of a faraway place where I can escape

A land where the Apple did not fall from a tree

Spring lasts for all seasons

Where leaves are ever green and pure white lily flowers cuddling my hands

As I pat my fingers through its bushes

Flaws are not known, where love is freely given

Children play barefoot their innocence counted among the sand

A toothless grin with sincere smiles is where I long to travel to

Sweet breeze of the morning wind

Dew delicately stuck on grass blades shimmering in the presence of the sun

The rays of the sun scatter into a beautiful panorama

It is where the rainbow never has to wait for rain to appear

Sun kissed blossoms, whispering into the cold wind inviting me in

It’s where I want to always be

As an insomniac I lay Sleepless in Nairobi searching for Utopia

Desire To Move On Poem

My heart will be fine

Now I know I have to move on

It’s a long journey but I will make it

Today, tomorrow, the next day

I just got to have faith

That I will survive this

I need to start over

Or what does swaying trees

Whistling palms say

Listening to a soulful sound

Though my heart is heavy

It is time for it to go

Under the beautiful night skies

I will sing again

It is all going to be fine

Because fate says so

Love me my dearest soul

I Promise You Poem

When I look in your eyes

I see what you mean to me

The person I fell in love with

I would not change anything

When I am with you the sky is clear

The drop of rain more magical

In your arms I want to be

Forever and always

Each day spent with you

Every memory made together

Etched in our heart and soul

All the colours are brighter now

Kissing You Under The Mistletoe Poem

On Christmas Eve I fell asleep next to you

You have been by my side from brown dusk till black dawn

Your arms carefully wrapped around my waist

To protect me from the stinging cold of night

I felt you breath slowly as sleep took you away

Toes curled together locking away any mistrust or longing

Being with you has always been this easy

You took the day off so I could take care of you

The beauty of evening blossoms summoned our infatuation

The heart of a man in love

Entangled with a woman slightly passionate

Christmas ornaments hang on a Christmas tree

Near the fire place where we indulged in each other’s insanity

In a language that needed no words to be explained

The crackling fire twinkled beautifully to our piece of music

We connected in a soul so divine, unexplainable

On Christmas morning

I imagine snowflakes falling on my cheeks

Knowing it is impossible under the African desert

What I do not have to imagine is the reality

Of kissing you under the mistletoe

Right now your love makes sense and is so true

I love Christmas with you near my heart’s desire

Do Not Forget Poem

I remember

When our arms never left each other

Our lips never stopped touching

Our hearts could not stop beating

When nights by the fireside

Were filled with romance

When the love songs tickled us

Each whisper trickled with honesty

Dripping with a sense of longing

Do you remember?

The times we laughed uncontrollably

Loved like there was no tomorrow

Forgave without a second glance

When we played in the rain

Holding onto each other

Because there was nowhere else to be

Or nothing else to do

Except in each other’s arms

We both remember

Every loving moment we shared

Being inspired to greatness by our affections

Dancing to our own kind of music

Remind me never to forget

Do You Understand Poem

I do not understand

How the rain falls from the sky

I do not understand

How winter turns to spring

I do not understand

The dew in the morning grass

I do not understand

The magic in your eyes when I look into

I do not understand

How I miss you when you leave

I do not understand

The way my heart beats when close to you

I do not understand

The rising or setting of the sun

I do not understand

How rivers flow into the ocean

I do not understand

How the solar eclipse works

I do not understand

Why I dream about you every night

I only understand how to love you

Dark Rose Poem

A finger pierced by a thorn

From a dark crimson colored rose

Bleeds with the beauty thereof

Declares the sanctity of our love

A four clover leaf did not bring us back luck

The clouds above did not cover our weariness

You cried because I loved you deeply

A feeling like delicate Rose petals

Threaded into a soft, luxurious velvet cloth

Talking about our love without denial

Feeling your lips tremble next to my cheek

You know I want to surrender to that kiss

Though I am afraid to be alone with you

Terrified that I will lose you

Forever wanting to hold you closely

A simple beating of your strong heart

You were only a stranger in the hours of darkness

A home I could rest my worries

I know I will not betray the love you gave us

You are the mirror I look into every day

Reflecting the appreciation you have for me

Drifting Away Poem

It ended before it began

I look in your eyes

We have become friends

The eagerness to see me

Lost into thick oblivion

Not a single greeting that drowns my heart

I can see

You don’t love me now

Never sure whether you did before

I had loved you relentlessly

Put your name on my pedestal

Dust covered the presence of you

Cobwebs won’t let me reach you

You chose to learn again

Thought it was me you went for

All senses say you did for you

Now I know you have moved on

We left each other at the beginning

Why love is so difficult to comprehend

I do not understand

There is no hug to bring us closer

We cannot live without love

Yet ours went with the flow away

Deep Within Poem

Your eyes tell no lie

Deny it as you want

Refuse to believe

We both know the truth

Told me you feared heartaches

You loved and lost more than once

Lost all faith in love

I can never break your heart

Only bruise it a little bit

Hoping we’ll still be together

Even when fate tries to keep us apart

Our destiny

Written in a strange language

So hard it took us this long

To find each other’s heart

I need you badly enough

You need me too

Promised to never love again

If I dared to leave you

I would go insane too

If I lived my life without you

Distant Whisper Poem

Whatever love is

It only got better when I was with you

Knowing you will be there

Made all the difference

I only thought of you as breaking my heart

Learning to love you I did

Every part of you is still in my heart

When there is nobody else

You remain till the sun comes up

Whatever affection you give

Keeps drowning me deeper in your love

I once almost tripped and fell

Fell in love with you

So I let myself fall and trip into you

Being with you is a habit I cannot break

Don’t want to break it

I know when I do...

I lose you for good

You become a distant whisper

Candle In A Storm Poem

To mum,

For all the times I made you cry those that I did not listen

Even when I disappointed you

Forgive me

For every moment I never cherished each time I made you sad

Or when I disagreed with you and made you regret I am sorry

Pardon me

For sometimes not understanding

For assuming we will always be together

Not telling you how much I love you when the chance seemed to slip away

I apologize

For not saying goodbye to you for allowing myself to regret now

For the times silence seemed fine when I had questions to ask

Now I need to let go

For I know you are proud of me even when life seemed unfair

You loved me to the end

I want to cry now but I know I don’t have to

Because sometimes I feel I have not cried enough

Other times I feel I cannot cry enough

You may never come back home my heart is where you are

For the times we laughed together

I am grateful

I am thankful

For each graceful moment God gave us

Every bit of experience we shared all the joy we had

And sometimes even the silence that we both understood and enjoyed

I appreciate

Your love when darkness covered me when despair loomed over us

You never stopped loving me

You will forever remain in every part of me

I know I cannot explain everything or comprehend why

Or even answer the reasons I know life was good for us

I miss you most days some days I want to give up

Others I wonder how, why, or what each time I think those thoughts

I have to remember you are still there slowly I try to bring sunshine

One by one the stars shine it won’t ever be the right time to be happy

My life used to revolve around you now I do not know where to begin

I feel lost you need to know I cannot do this alone

Understand I need you even though you are gone

You still live in me

And I will not stop asking for help not answering

Does not mean you don’t hear

You are and will always be my mother…my life…my existence…

Now I can tell you goodbye I never had the courage before

I know you understand why now I can face the reality, truth

Knowing you have not left me alone you left me with family

Goodbye mother I love you

I promise I will see you again

Coat Over My Shoulder Poem

Where is the wind headed?

How can this be so hard?

Where will my heart be when this is all over?

Can I trust myself?

That I will be in love by then

If I ever loved I know

You are inside my mind

Cannot hold somebody’s else’s hand

I love chocolate and I loved you

Stay knowing you were the best man

In my life as you showed me love

Until the end a small treasure I found

In your soul as I am in love

I know I have found the real thing

Slipping in between your arms

This love makes me sing true love has won

I am happy on your chest

Makes me shout to the rest of the world

It is all good;

Your coat lets me know

That I am in love with you

Chocolate A Forbidden Romance Poem

Like the forbidden food of the gods

You are a sinful delight

Hammering at my intense emotions

Waiting to see you, every one of your kisses

With each hug we share day after day

I want to live in your untainted seduction

Driving from a dark stormy night

I need the calm of your supple desires

Swerving to avoid the loneliness

Coming out of nowhere into your soul

My body freezes when away from yours

Like ending up in a ditch I await your rescue

Feeding into the sweetness of your love

White chocolate

Dark chocolate

Milky chocolate

Caramel chocolate

Nutty chocolate

Chocolate Truffles

You evaporate on my tongue

As my lips barely touch yours in an effortless moment

Tracking your delicate jaw line with my fingers

I keep pinning for you my love

As I lie on my velvet azure pillow in aspiration

Closer Than Close Poem

Never been this close to you so close I feel your heart beat

Close enough that I see your eyes

All the emotions that make me

Sometimes too close I feel your fears though I am not afraid

To feel you tremble in my arms it’s closer than touching Heaven

Like holding the clouds in my hands

While reaching out for the sky hold me close

Don’t let me leave your soul or wander away from you

Never let me go the closer I get to you

The more my love bonds with yours

My life is never empty as your smile turns away the rain

I know you are everything for me

Holding onto you I know I always want to be this close to you

Celebrating Our Anniversaries Poem

Our life together is a gift

Each year I remember our temptingly ageless love

From the First anniversary to the Hundredth

I am no one else’s but yours uncompromisingly

You put your love notes on a piece of Paper

Then clothed me with a Cotton gown

Leather fitted perfectly in my arms

Spring flowers and lovely Fruits showed your love

I sat down inside a Wooden chamber

As sweet sugary Candy melted on my lips

The Woollen bedding on Copper caressed my skin

Drinking from a Bronze bowl

While I watched roses blossom in our Pottery

You protect me like Tin framed with Aluminum

Your hands holding me tight like Steel

The silky Linen handkerchiefs to wipe the tears

Dancing together in Lacy romance

Held together by a priceless collection of Ivory

Crystal magic shimmering in the night

I want to dine on our favorite China

As we celebrate our life with Silver ornaments

Opening up oysters to reveal Pearls

I dream of swimming besides Coral reefs

Knowing your love is precious like Ruby

Wonderful like Sapphires

Remembering our Golden years

My heart brightens up like an Emerald

Your kisses are like Diamond dust

Sealed in a Platinum setting of memories

You will still be my only love

One thousand anniversaries from now

As our love was sculpted on concrete Promises

Can I Lean On You Poem

Before you came along

Thought I would never live again

Life broke my heart

I wanted to give up

Losing all hope

Everything seemed to laugh at me

As I lay down helpless

My eyes tired of the pain

The hurt burning in my tender heart

Your deep undying love

Has kept me going

When I could not take it anymore

Even when life was not worth it

I knew I could count on you

Your caring heart

Wonderful understanding

Sweet spirit

Is what I need to keep holding me

Therefore

Be a shoulder to lean on again

Come Back Home Poem

I was struck by your profound beauty

As I obsess over your kiss

Trying to find a place I can steal another one

I am where I want to be

Down on bended knees with my eyes on you

Reaching out to touch your face

Asking for more than I gave you

Less of your broken heart

A heart filled with more joy than I know

Please…

Love me once again like you did before

Grant me one last wish

Of feeling you in my arms that are frail

Tell me what makes me to love you

Cry and laugh because you are with me

I need to taste the sweetness of your romance

Tug at the loveliness of your sincerity

I took away the faith in our love

No author could re-write our story

All fairytales failed to come true

But allow me to give you my heart back

Correct My Mistake Poem

Only thing I did wrong was love you

Never thought love would hit me

This hard

Couldn’t imagine how it felt

To be so in love

That all I want to do is dream about you

See you standing in front of me

The way you make me feel

I knew I only wanted to love you

Turn the wrong to right

Coveted Destiny Poem

Through every moment of your life

I give you my simple heart

Untarnished love

That brought uncomprehending perfection

Justified enough to seduce your soul

In the whirlwind of desire

As destiny draws us together

I cannot explain the magic around us

Everything that you want from me

Fantasy of a perfect life

Hold strongly onto my hand

As I will be yours incessantly

Broken Heart Poem

My love came and went

Yours stayed forever

In your absence

You still gave me joy

Where else will I keep my heart?

On whose shoulder will I rest?

How can I open myself up?

When will I never miss you?

Which place will never remind me of you?

The touches do not feel the same

I roll down on the floor

Trying to chase the troubles away

Seeing your love not returned

Your hand stretched out

None to take it

Calling out my name yet I cannot answer

It has never been the same

Waking up without you near

I need to mend

Your fragile heart that I broke

Beautiful Soul Poem

I stood in the pouring rain

Looking forlorn and cold

I almost stopped existing

Wishing you would be a little bit closer

For this frail form to fade away

And tomorrow not to be forgotten

Dreaming never was true for me

Love at first sight

A myth I never truly believed in

Till your touch felt like an Angel’s

Flustered in the beginning

Then I let you beautify my life

Though faith in everything had gone

I believed in you

You are my piece of private ground

An earthly scent

Filled with curtains of bright emerald green

Dotted with stones of deep transparent red

I want to flee with you

Covered with promises of our love

So as to live our best life at the present

Before When After Poem

Before it rains

I think about your aroma

The scent that tantalizes my emotions

Like rising smoke from a volcano

The desire melts every inch of my heart

As my soul composes a serenade

That is totally irresistible

When it is raining

You have a smell I adore

Not being able to resist your skin

A smooth feeling I cannot stop

You taste like spicy honey

With kisses dripping with sweetness

I do not want to leave your arms

After it rains

I must find my way back to your lips

Before I get lost in your touch

My heart stops beating fast

Our breaths become one rhythm

You become an obsession

A temptation that will not go away

Beddings Of Royalty Poem

Like a luxurious velvet crimson robe

In a world class hotel

You wrap me into your warmth

The virgin-white silky smooth bed spreads

Cannot compare to your magnificent touch

Even a thousand-thread count Egyptian cotton

Will not match your romance

Your caress of pure bliss

Is much more voluptuous, sensitive

Than a thick cream colored satin duvet

Laying on these cushions of rich dark velvet

I muse over your lingering embrace

Your kiss as sensual as a lacy cloth

Feels like a sweet odor enchanting my senses

Your hold on me feels like the finest texture

Of polyester mingled with airy wool

A mixture of pure fabrics defines your soft desire

The richest spices and perfumes smells like you

These curtains of elegantly sewn satin

Looped up with chains of silver and pearls

Drapes over my face the way your love does

Before You Leave Poem

Your absence will be the death of me

I do not want you to leave

Yet you are not mine

My defense system screams to keep you

Tear drops fill the ocean of love

A musical beating of the heart

Fear crawling underneath my skin

Running away from the hardest judgments

Bring me back to your arms

Red petals of a rose turn into a pale pink

Fading the colour of our belonging together

Can cries be enough to keep you with me?

Or winds of mercy let your heart discover

Mine is not soundly resting in peace

Knowing your warmth is far from me

Give me sanity to my tired mind

Bring happiness to my weary smile

The only difference I need in my soul

Seeing your presence within my shadow

Is it enough to re-live this anguish?

I, ended without you

Look back at my soul before you disappear

Beyond The Storm Poem

How can you forget?

When I gave my heart to you

The day I lost myself in you

Losing all consciousness of reason

When your sweetness

Destabilized me

I did not know what love meant

Why did you have to forget?

The time you made me happy

Feeling your closeness

Shivering next to me as I held you

The tears we dried from our eyes

Because each other’s love was there

Should you forget?

What it is we call our love

Your hurt has been my pain

That I love you with such tenderness

My passion

How much I want you in my life

Not only in storms

Also when it is peaceful and calm
