The Sun Today Kissed Me

and the air

made love

to every pore

in my body

and there were

about fifty women

hoeing government land

nearby

in their colourful scarves

and loose shirts

and long skirts

and I embraced

the sunlight in my arms

and danced with the forests

and mountains in delight

and when we laughed

the clouds moved

in the sky

swaying with each other

roaring in happiness.

Cool Mountain Breeze

how nice you feel

how beautiful

your relaxing sound

in the morning

after a good night’s sleep

cool mountain breeze

you take me to

the playgrounds

of my childhood

where I run in joy

cool mountain breeze

you are my lover

you take me into

your arms

and your caresses

are like no one else’s.

Each Person’s Head is a Moon

cool as only a moon can be

and our hands full of love

our embrace the meeting

of hearts

our world blooming in ecstasy

like red roses

our trees our multifarious

waving arms

swaying in the wind

bringing calm to everything

in the universe

and everything hangs

in perfect balance

only happiness overflows

from everyone

making the cosmos shine

a kaleidoscope of colours

like a discotheque

and we the dancers

romping in rapture.

Refreshing Air

you are so nice

you make me feel

like sunlight

and the leaves

of my clove tree

fluttering in the wind

are green and tender

and beautiful

and the light blue sky

is like a warm blanket

I wrap myself with

and the kids

playing here

are so much fun

how innocent

they are

like this day

that I hold

in my arms

as a baby.
