The Winter Rain

Wonderful is the sound
Of the winter rain
In my playground
The birds are singing again!

The Nubian Adventure

the Nubian adventure
living with the stars after the turbulent
moments of creation

earth-like worlds in motion
orbiting the giant stars trillion of miles away
the rhythm of love foretold!

the solar systems...
dim lights from the baby planets
but where’s the parent star?

love birds in space
i watch as hot heavenly bodies emerge
from the cosmic shade

the Nubian child in the
timeless vortex of the Milky Way
making a splash!

the kangaroo
in my spaceship; feeding
the fallen star.

from darkness to light
bright stars in my visual field
face to face with ambition!

The Diary of the Lost Boy

Gateway to heaven!
Chasing the wind and fraternising
With cool stars.

Sleep with one eye open!
There’s something fishy
On the way to Triton.

The lost boy
Captures the Neptune moons
Battling the red dwarfs.

Strangely uplifting
First mission of self-discovery
But, where’s the dough?

The Venusian dream
Challenging life in earth’s sister planet.
What a magnificent view?

Days of hope
As the Nubian goddess of love
Comes to the rescue.

The Space Adventure

The endless space
Discovery in the distant galaxies
Kissing the luscious stars.

The space adventure
Really begins at home. Go build
Your spacecraft!

The starlight
In my space capsule, a night
Of endless passion.

The green grass
In the waxing Martian moon
Aliens on heat!

Holiday in space:
Romancing the moons of Jupiter
With gusto.

The ghost of spatial past
The meteorites can’t keep pace
With my spaceship.

Hunger in space
The primordial soup
In crisis.

Balanced life
Just got easier in deep space
Angels on my shoulder.

The Inner Glow

I woke up
With a warm inner glow; feeling
Your divine presence.

Then, the joyful moment
As the gentle spirit descended
Upon my soul.

Immersed in faultless brilliance
I became one with the light;
And the light became
An integral part of my being.
