Rhythms of Valentine

 

It is that time of night again,

When the hours are poised

Before a yawning  dawn

And a glowing sunrise

 

 

It is that time of night

When my thoughts

Pristine clear

Yearns to kiss the keyboard

 

 

My lover is asleep

Oblivious to the

Magic of the hour

Lost to the caress

Of his dreams

But soon

I will be his enchantment

With my own blend of sorcery

To wake his inert form

Strong and lithe

 

 

Our bodies will beat

Their own drums

And dance to the tune

Of pulsating rhythms

Rhythms that reach out

From the womb of Africa

Birthing a love

That blossoms

Soaring to a crescendo

Celebrating Valentine

In  African style
