Could you be?

Little small trips
falling bits and
sand pieces in space
at ease with the peace
ticklish when you smile

Please what is it, with that smile of yours?

Soul waterfalls in the stars
herb harmonies
war pieces at the kurb
babes in the burbs
you dance betwixt the silences
Little miss red
Riding in my hood
By the pool by the pond
The Mint teas and the chicken salads
the Green trees and the spring breezes

hint hint nudge nudge maybe you will budge
Maybe someday one day
i'll be fly as a kite and sing you this balad
by the cullen benches deep in the trenches
purple my purple my people
colour me purple and yellow and green
as you please...

but,
Please what is it, with that smile of yours?

If I were my cousin I would write this to you, Rest In Peace cousin

Last Night we saw the force
Like fire it was done, we crept under falling tears
Like all the rights that we wronged
Where we had been and what,
we did it;
We drank, we sang, we drove and
made love to happiness
gallivanting guava-pink-drinks highlights
Dipanana!
memories draw lines of longing
on this never ending beach lava sand
Friend,
So smooth all-round, in-between and under my feet

Last night was our last night my love
Today we say goodbye
See you again
In soon coalescent lifetimes
We will live our fairy-tale
In the skies, heavens and magnificent clouds
My love.
The dust and rain will settle;
In God we trust.
