PATTERN
The pattern
of early morning in my head
the crispy sheets in my bed
of the way you're made for me
it's the pattern that fits best to me
for all the love I have for thee
remains all times as pattern of my life
Chronologically noting down events
those past and gone
then those remain to look upon
that make a pattern in my mind
I note them down on paper
I scribble flowers, dappled light and dark
a chequered background now leaves its mark
still I fleck it all with spots
and criss cross lines cross one another
psychedelic now I add some colour
I add some hearts to show my love
I made this pattern out of joy
because of the thoughts you left me with
thoughts of pure and magic bliss

TALKING DRUM
West African Hourglass
construction of a drum
a pattern of hide
a pattern of rope
a pattern of wood
a pattern of sound
made to give you the pitch
patterned to mimic
tone and prosody
of human speech
pattern of tubular
construction
pattern of conical
construction
The talking drum saying:
"come back home"
but in pattern of drumming sound it goes...
"Make your feet come back
the way they went,
make your legs come back
the way they went,
plant your feet
and your legs below,
in the village
which belongs to us."
The pattern of drumming calling
Calling you back home
"DON DA DON CHAKA PON
PATA PON DON CHAKA
DON DA DON CHAKA PON
PATA PON DON CHAKA"
the talking drums are calling
in the pattern of their tone
Calling you back home
The pattern of the talking drums
Calling the addressed
announcing the sender
the message follows
like when a leopards on the loose
this is the way it goes...
"Mot a nkele nda, ve atan, atan."
meaning:
"He not go in house, but outside, outside."
a cryptic sentence full of jungle implications
That's the pattern sound of the talking drum
a pattern which amazes
used without technology
sending messages over the vast continent
one of the worlds amazing drum patterns
Showing the pattern of great minds

HAND IN HAND
I cherish every moment
soothing cuddles
spicy kisses
seducing
hot your touch
a sensual statement
hand in hand
looking at each other
we smile...
