Euphoria explosion of cocoa
sensations, dark nights on
the Ethiopia River breathing
melodies that mix with Java
sweet cream loose with wild
berries on chocolate skin
I walk in open sandals and
recite ancient parables in
tongue and hope you bless
me with precious renditions
of a soulful song I crawl to
my island web woven of
silk threads of utopia
Speak to me in Swahili
and watch the lioness moan
in thirsty echoes of a mating
call creating a Shaka Zulu
dance of my past
I drink the leaves of blue
thunder and you, as you thrive
on my feeding of sweet
tranquility in the evening of
a cool majestic breeze
