Poets' Corner
Today
Today I slipped out the doorWe left the learning prison
My supreme she and I
In pursuit of pleasure's call
We rode the heart of the wind
Full with anticipation
The destined space welcomed us
Sweet joy...
How bountiful love was today!
Now all is well
The gentle throbbing
Has washed yesterday's pain away.
Iana
African girlCarrying yourself so graceful
As if the winding melody of a flute's tune
Setting sweet burning fires of passion
Ablaze within my wandering soul
And I
Daring to kiss the flames
As you whisper to my manhood
In such womanly tones
That I may come and taste of you
If I am as I appear to be...
a warrior
And my eyes answering
Why indeed lady
If you are as you claim to be
... a daughter of fertility.
