Dear friend
If I could write to you there are a thousand things I’d love to say
Reminding you of the time we flew air imagination in the twilight zone and ended up in
Cairo, Egypt, Morocco, Zaire, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Togo, Congo, Ghana, Africa
Dancing to the beats of your ancestors, my ancestors
The hollow drums and calabash both emanating the same soulful sounds
Fufu and light-soup in our palms as we watched
Our people, my people serenade us with song and African dance.

If I could write to you
I will remind you of the painting and colours you used
Of your brown on my black, your light on my dark
Of the promises we made to each other
As we lay tiredly awake, defying sleep
Simply to enrich our eyes and minds with the lies we spun
To make the world, our world, our fantasy a reality

If I could write to you
I will remind you of the India you promised to show me
Of the shores and oceans of the waves and the way they slap against the rocks
Of their rhythms and rhymes and the way our hips will sway to their beat
Of the beautiful Asian bride, with her sari, the purples and rhinestones
The Indian golds, the bindi tattooed on her forehead, her eyelined eyes, her smile
That forms upon her lips as the tears glide, just a hint, on her cheeks
As she is welcomed into her in-laws arms and
We, rose to the darkest corners of the world, closed our eyes, opened our minds
And we touched the skies

If I could write
I would remind you that you are etched within the four corners of my mind
That you touched a place in my heart where only God resides
And even if I had the chance I’ll probably never put it down on paper
I’ll scribble it to you, using my psyche
Connect with you in our twilight skies
And sign this with my mind's eye
