Burrow Into My Cover

You burrow into my cover like a worm

To reveal the inside

My identity

Who said I share?

In it, do you want to be submerged?

Past And Present

Like English spoken in England

And Nigeria or Jamaica

Side by side I stand

With my past and present

Different like the different lands

From which their people come

A Blue Bird

A blue bird

In a green grass

A jump jump

Into the blue fence

On the green grass

I Need You Green

I need you, green

Your yellow

To have green

With my deep blue

To have green:

Not deep like my blue

But light like your yellow.

The Rose I and You

The rains from heaven lashing down

The winds blowing gently around

The noisy sea remained calm

When you held a rose

Given you in your hands

And never threw away

Despite its thorny edges and ends

Its thorny edges you broke

In order to embrace

This rose I am

The rose you are

My rose you have

My rose your rose

Your rose I am

Pure I will be

When on me you fall

Tough I will become

When tossed by your winds

Yet in the calm seas I will be

Swimming with you.

Eating Away The Red Earth

Through the infinite distance

I looked and watched

Through light less than a firefly

My view to see

Swallowed by thoughts of her

Of her words not well said

Her hug not showing up before depart

Sky gray and light dim

Tunnels lose their shadows

Dusty winds intrude the eyes

In the minds mind I still see her in skirt

Eating away the red earth.
