Distant Whispers

As the midnight waves of oceans
crash on pebbled sand
I hear the desire in your voice
as I lie with windows open.
Your soft whispers caress
my soul
and my heart giggles.
I await on silk sheets
for cosmic connections
as you reach out to touch me.

Eve's Sister

I dissolved into the

red earth of Ghana.

Melted without a trace

like goat's butter

from warm rain

I dissolved into the streams and dreams

of East Villages

where they said Ju Ju

was alive.

I inhaled fire and spat out the sun

My blood is the same color as palm oil

my lips were moistened by the juice of fertile fruits

I twirled my tongue in a whirlpool

of rivers

and scooped white meat from

cracked coconuts.

I soaked my thighs in honey

and danced among

butterflies and beehives

I stretched and touched the sunset

with my finger tips

and brought heaven back to

red earth
