A ligkaribe Poem - My Shia

Hugging pillows and day dreaming
Sweet taste of lovely smiley days
Relaxed and lazy with my love
What can I say about my Shia
Except that love is divinity
And he is the God of my universe

Inspirations – thoughts of something
Something greater than me,
Something sitting on a horizon
Just beyond
waiting
Waiting for me to capture it
Like an eager child captures the
butterfly in their tiny beautiful palms

it’s a hunger unfulfilled
something that i eat but it seems
I always have to come back for
more, speaking of butterflies, flutters in
my chest and pillow hugging nights of
day dreaming and sweetness.

Sensations
I chase a dream
I chase sensation
I chase a sound
I crave a voice
The voice of my Shia
A sweet melody in my ears that
Creates havoc in my hearts deeper
Chambers and bodily sensations off craziness’

As I watch the playful birds circling above
I dream that I could chase after a dream
That I could soar high above in oblivion
Finally catching these birds to play amongst the
Gods and dance amongst the stars
When finally my Shia and I will be together

What can I say about my Shia
Except that love is divinity and my Shia
is the God of my universe

to my love, this is the joy you have brought to my heart:

“My heart is all happy,
My heart takes wing in singing,
Under the trees of the forest,
The forest our dwelling and our mother.”
Pygmy (central Africa) chorus (Turnbull, Man in Africa, p.109)
