Sweet Sound of Passion
» ‎ Read entry @ AFRICAN REFUGEES

sweet sound of passion…
the mystery of the joyful night
wrapped with your kisses

you anointed my
soul with clear visions of the light
capturing the fecund
thought of beauty in the divine
moment of oneness

you ride the gentle
waves of passion in triumph
enjoying the positive vibes

now, I fill
the sacred vessel with
pure love…
forging a new reality where
sweet flowers bloom

enchanted journey …
the relentless pursuit
of the mystical fruit

you light
the inner flame of Desire
with a delicate touch
patiently unlocking the deepest
secrets of consciousness for fun

The African Spirit
» ‎ Read entry @ AFRICAN REFUGEES

you arouse true love
and compassion within my veins...
the African spirit

your gentle hand
guides me through the corridors
of thought; revealing
the embers of a fecund mind
and a thousand flowers in bloom

you turn
sadness into joyful rhythms
on the fatal shore

with hard times looming
you transform the fragile ‘hood
for good…
the immense beauty
of life preserved

behold the golden dawn…
the new state of consciousness
blessed with potential

you tame
the voice of unreason
with pure love…
nourishing the soul with
the sacred nectar of desire

On the Beaten Track
» ‎ Read entry @ AFRICAN REFUGEES

at dawn
when the smiling sun warms
the beaten track…
the lost boy walks in silence
weaving a dream

the golden rays
capture the inner beauty
of the fragile
soul in the unfolding
drama of life foretold

now, the gentle
breeze gives up its secrets
ever so slowly
you find your niche along
the narrow passage

the lyrebird
in my father’s garden…
autumn moon

sing to me, you
little beauty, the soulful
songs of joy

take me (on your
sumptuous wings) to the secret
places of the heart

The Good People of Dorrigo
» ‎ Read entry @ AFRICAN REFUGEES

The residents of the small community of Dorrigo in New South Wales, Australia, have opened their hearts and minds to African refugees; deliberately inviting them to settle in the local community, according to the recent ABC-TV program.

The program focused on the plight of African refugees in the post-resettlement period; tracing the journey of Martha Malou, Martin Majok and their six children as they try to adjust to life in the new environment; doing the daily battle for survival in Dorrigo community.

Nevertheless, the point to note is that the good people of Dorrigo are prepared to support the new comers by providing food, shelter and clothing during the early days of arrival, despite the ongoing tension about the refugees elsewhere in the nation.

They want the best for the African refugees.

It seems to me, quite clearly, that the destiny of the local community and that of the refugees are now very closely intertwined. Hard-wired to work, the Africans are ready for new the new challenge and are feeling at home in Dorrigo community.

Some are working hard to improve themselves and are doing it in style.

“I want to be Australian citizen because I want to be part of the community”, so says Martin, who is now working and studying and making a new life for himself in the thriving Dorrigo community Down Under.

Eye of the Beholder
» ‎ Read entry @ AFRICAN REFUGEES

the secret
river of love flows
ever so gently
under the watchful
eye of the beholder

cherry blossom...
weaving the wreath
of desire
with the first taste
of the nectar

the rise
of the fecund moon
foretold...
the image of the spring
flower drunk with love

your red lips
speak softly of "us" as
i explore
the mystic fruit of your
essence with lustful eyes

a brush with
the intense passion of your
ways sublime...
spirited away by the sacred
poetry of desire

you turn up
the heat with your
magic touch
just like the frisky suns
of the summer past

finally, you lift
the veil and whisper love
(ever so tenderly)...
clearing the path to inner peace
with a spoonful of dreams

Over the Rainbow
» ‎ Read entry @ AFRICAN REFUGEES

the rhythmic
throb of your golden heart
of hearts revealed…
a passionate journey
over the rainbow

sing to me, egret…
the sweet songs of summer
soaked in love

you dance lightly
on the rose petal of my dreams
seeing beauty
in the inner sanctum
of my being

the ecstasy
of the gentle breeze profound…
radiance of the soul

with the exotic
heat, you capture the rarest
essence of desire…
the golden drop of
summer’s moon

your seductive
dance of wonder unfolds…
the miracle of being
