THE MORNING *STAR*
In this part of Africa
It’s a rare gem
Illuminating the golden yellow horizon
The morning star
Shinning with splendor
Eyes as clear as ice
Revealing untold beauty
Pupil as black as coal
Hanging in precariously
In a ball of wool
The morning star
Curvaceous nostrils
Rare in this part of Africa
Breathing life to
The morning breeze
With every beat,
Warm sweet breath escapes
Nagging though
To leave such a haven
The morning star
Has a smile too
A smile of all times
Too sweet to describe
A mother of all smiles
The morning star
Smiling with style
A shy smile
The morning star
Have two dimples
Deep as they are
The secret of the smile
The two cute dimples,
Tonates the plains of the star
Giving it a feeling
The morning star
Have two full lips
Upper pouting lip
Full as a balloon
Giving the morning breeze
Wrenching osculates
Trapped inside
Two set of grinders
White as wool
The morning star
Has a sweet bite
The morning star
Has a voice
Its whispers are so sweet
That you dance to them
This morning star
Smiles
Laughs
Sighs and cares
The morning star
The morning blossom
Shine shine shine
The morning star

ReplyDeleteCongrats Simon,
ReplyDeleteThat should definitely be your queen. very lucky to have a poet who is so caring and ready to show the world what his best friend is worth. Do you write for events like weddings, burials or any other ceremonies? You should try that out and charge people.
I can perform for you....anyway kidding! Man, you just have a talent. I hardly thought that poets are just ordinary people with an extraordinary touch. I have liked your work and invited a friend to sample out the poem UNKNOWN KNOWNS. It a philosophical piece.
I also liked THE DREAM which is just but adventurous especially the last parts where you mentions about the Dead Chief.
Kudos......!
