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 |
