The Sensual Promotion

On a warm Sunday afternoon,
I find myself strolling around the hood,
Bump into my neighbour; this lovely lady,
Who invites me to this quaint event;a tea party!
So I follow her into this enchanting paradise of a home,
Lots of lovely people at this gathering;a bit overwhelming,
No matter; meet and greet the lovely fellas we must,
What good is a life devoid of thrills and chills?
Then this buzzing noise creeps upon us!
“Vibrator on the loose” yells this pretty girl!
“Calm down woman, it just my phone” says I,
Off to the corridor to respond to this vibration,
The lady on the line; her conversation knows no end!
Finally there’s an emergency exit from the phone conversation;
I hit escape and jump out of it into this beautiful reality! *sigh*
Turn off this life stealing contraption and walk towards the party,
Just as I approach the living room entrance; I bump into her!
This gorgeous creature amid a random conversation,
Her smile so magnetic; makes me blush…
Her eyes so intense; like jumping into a waterfall,
This feeling, I can’t explain; it’s like momentary insanity:
The glance lingers for a moment; I’m sprung into a wonderland,
I walk past as does she, and we move on to the normal stuff…
The conversations keep going and the drinks keep coming,
And again I find myself seated next to Ms. Gorgeous!
Small talk evolves into deep soul searching session;
Where each word escaping her lips seduces my thirsty soul!
Even the most unconscious touch electrifies my system.
Then I realize just how far gone I am with this amazing creature,
And it scares me; all I can think about is running away from it!
Running away to the land of make belief where all endings are happy,
“Hey, baby girl; are you alright?” says Ms. Gorgeous
Snap back woman! “I’m good, I just need some more tea” said I
In a frantic rush I walk into the kitchen to escape this crazy intensity,
What are the odds that her royal gorgeousness would shadow me?
Fix my tea and spice it up with some good old ‘poison’,
Head to the balcony to star gaze with the Ms. and her 21 questions,
Talks go on and at some point amidst all the words floating about;
Voices retire, lips are employed; the sensual promotion!
Mind blown by stolen kisses from the lips of a goddess,
“My word” I thought to myself, “there’s no turning back!”
In her tight embrace; I drowned myself in her being,
Hearts pounding, blood rushing, thoughts distorted!
This feeling so insane; like getting shoved from a cliff top!
Knowing that you have absolutely no control over this free fall,
The intensity there after; submerged in the ecstasy of liberation,
Where all senses seem to be operating at an advance level,
Even the wind seems to be whispering; cheering us on,
As if all this is just not enough; she climbs on to the edge,
“Come join me” she beckons; her eyes all so playful,
How could I possibly decline this offer form an angel,
I climb onto the edge to join her; heart throbbing and all,
She grabs my hand and jumps off the freaking balcony! *gasp*
I find myself too shocked to even dare scream for help,
This flight takes its sweet time! All my adrenaline used up…
I have to accept this reality for it cannot be rewritten,
This fall is fast and furious; finally I hit the ground,
Wait! It appears the ground is liquid and engulfing my form,
I seem to be sinking deeper in these unknown waters,
In a bid to survive; I relax and find my way to the surface,
My eyes are graced by this breath-taking waterfall!
So intense is this magnificence! Its flow so passionate,
Here I am, flung back into this sobering reality;
Phone in my hand, bewitched by your sweet gaze,
The waterfalls in your eyes; they drown me,
Submerge me in the land of make belief,
Where this; sensual promotion, is a reality…

La Dolce Vita

She may have cursed us all into eternal damnation;
But I think she was on to something…
Or rather she was helpless to it all,
What’s a girl to do in the face of sweet temptation!
That forbidden yet juicy apple must have been worth the pain,
We all try to ignore it or run away from it,
Hot on our heels we run then around the corner;
We bump into this menacing temptation!
And it knows that you’re trying so hard to keep away!
I guess there aren’t enough dark corners in the world…

So here I am; facing this conniving serpent!
All those years spent running and hiding,
Have culminated to this moment of truth…
The moment when I realize I can no longer run!
There she was dangling this fruit so ripe and juicy,
I’m left with only two choices:
Walk away and then spend my entire life in purgatory!
The purgatory of wondering what could have been…
No! I refuse to live like that! I cannot live like that.

So I grab the apple and take a bite! A big juicy bite!
I find myself indulging greedily on this sweet temptation,
Shoving it down my throat, entranced by this fruit so forbidden,
This feeling I cannot describe; myriads emotions exploding simultaneously!
Every inch of my being is ecstatic; overwhelmed by this twisted satisfaction,
Engulfed in the depths of passion; I find myself helpless to its supremacy,

I heard that the road to hell was paved with good intentions…
Well I beg to differ; it must be paved with lustful gluttony!
Every bite I took sprung me closer to these flames of liberation,
So intense is this heat there is no room for cowardice,
I give in to it; my wall of resistance all torn down…
So fulfilling is this moment; the culmination of all my fears,
Turns out to be an orgy of a thousand emotions in an orchestra,
Where Love is the conductor; their music so mind blowing!
Starts of in a soothing manner; where all the flutes play,
Then the strings come in and they hit the cymbals now and then,
Then the drums and bass intrude in a manner so smooth,
Enslaved by this music; the crescendo so overwhelming!
I drown myself in the ecstasy of this sweet temptation,
My entire being drunk from enchantment,
And relished by this lascivious rhapsody

I Am

So the creator looked at it and said it was perfect!
Meanwhile here I am thinking of all the ‘Improvements’!
For instance; I need a 48hr day…
24hrs is just not enough!
In ‘our current world’; I feel the need to:

Wake up early and work out.
To balance all the toxins I abused!
With or without my knowledge
Oh! And to keep fit and all…
Go to work to support my lifestyle,
Bond with people coz I can’t help myself!
Do some writing to inspire others!

Writing keeps me balanced!
It completes me.
Like smashing things upon a wall or with a club,
Or running headless- screaming all over the place…
Only less obscene or damaging!
Then I also need to play! Yes indeed!

I need to walk up, down, round and about!
I need to submerge myself in a mass of water!
I need to be where the untamed wind is!
I need to get scorched by the sun!
I need to glow in the moon!
I need to light my soul on fire…

All night; all day!!!
I need to be me!
You may frown or attempt to chain me,
But even you know; you need to be you!
Why can’t we just be! Just live and be us?
Is it that hard?
I no longer care for opinions!
I just want to be…me.

The Moonrock (part 2)

And there she was fiercely fighting for her life with this creature of a woman, Lithia; trying to suck the life out of the girl while Imani watched in disbelief! Finally he snaps out of it and rushes over with a log and hits Lithia on the head with it! She flew off the girl and caught Imani by the neck and dragged him across the ground for a few meters; then at the halt she whispered to him.
“So you like to swing logs at women?” Lithia hissed, “That was probably the most foolish thing you could do!”
She moved her lips really close to his face and drew his breath. He could feel his life force flowing out of him and to this creature; his whole body was getting cold fast and he could feel unconsciousness smoothly taking over! Swiftly the girl slide her dagger across Lithia’s neck leaving streams of blood rushing towards her chest, enough distraction to save Imani. Lithia, disoriented for a moment bent over to the ground choking on her blood! A minute later she stood up straight ready to strike with fierce vengeance, her neck good as knew; like she didn’t even have a throat slit a minute ago!
“Damn her!” thought the girl, “At this rate I’ll need silver bullets to down her!”
There stood the girl posed to pounce at this reptilian creature now moving in for the kill. Just as Lithia was about to strike she was distracted by a familiar call, she looked we’ll petrified by it. On the second call Lithia flew off and disappeared into the darkness!
“Imani! Imani!” she yelled as she shook him vigorously
“Where is she?!” inquired a startled Imani
“She flew off” explained the girl, “There something looming about. Whatever it is gave Lithia a real good fright! We must go now.”
“That doesn’t sound very brilliant but I suppose it’s better than staying here waiting for death to liberate us!” mumbled Imani
So they set off avoiding thick forest areas and trying to stick onto a path whose end they could only hope would turn out to be favorable! Even in the solid darkness she could feel the eyes hidden behind the trees escorting them through the forest; watching their every move. Then finally the screams drew closer to them and they embarked on to a mad dash so safety! As they got to the clearing a dark shadow came over them.
“What the devil is that!” shrieked Imani
“I have no idea” whispered the girl in awe
This dragon like creature swiftly descended upon them and a young boy with tattoos all over his bald head reaching to his back appeared from the dragon like creature back! His eyes were luminous and his voice still.
“The oracle of the moon has sent me to fetch you!” said the boy
“I’ve had it with this enchanted forest and all its freaks!” declared Imani
“We have to go with the boy” said the girl “I need to consult this oracle”
“Have you just forgotten what a mess following the creatures of this forest has put us through?” asked Imani
“I’m going with the boy” insisted the girl, “feel free to come with me”
The mounted the dragon like creature and off into the skies they flew! Over the forest and the sea; it was beautiful! The boy didn’t talk much he just steered the dragon like creature over the sea. Then suddenly they took a tailspin towards the sea! They falling fast and hard, with each second the water drew closer to them!
“What are doing?” demanded Imani
“We’re going to see the oracle.” Responded the boy
“Is the oracle in the afterlife?” asked the girls concerned about their impending death
“You need to trust your journey” replied the boy with a conviction laced voice
Even before they could air more grievances they all took a plunge into the water and they went deeper and deeper into the depth of the sea and into a coral cave! It was a beautiful place with beautiful patterns on lining the tunnel and sparkling gems floated in the tunnel to light their way!
“How can this be?” asked the girl “Such magnificence where no one can reach!”
“I’m more interested in the fact that we are still alive at the depth of the sea! Shouldn’t we be drowning or something!” mused Imani
“The world is indeed full of wonders” thought the girl
As they went deeper into this underworld they got to a landing paved with pearls and in the distance the could see a temple like structure made of pearls and so many glowing gems floating around it that it dazzled in a manner so magical!
“This is as far as I go” said the boy “the journey is yours to conquer.
“Is that fancy place where the oracle lives?” asked the
“That’s where she consults Luna; it’s a place of thanks giving for all” replied the boy “we don’t need walls to confine us here.”
So they set off towards the pearly temple taking in every amazing detail of this paradise. The universe is just but awesome; how beautiful it is to have kingdom under the sea! A place where people were not confined by walls, where everybody had nothing to hide! And the only walls were the pearly arches that adorned the thanks giving shrine. As they drew closer to the pearly shrine there was a coral tunnel; a really dark tunnel. The girl walked on and as she was about to get in to the tunnel she realized Imani wasn’t beside her. She turned back and there he was rooted to the ground.
“What’s the matter?” she asked
“I don’t want to go in there” replied Imani
“It’s just a tunnel and you saw where it leads” said the girl “It looks quick and painless!”
“All we’ve been through is just too overwhelming for me! Replied Imani in distress
“We’ll we can’t stay out here forever, the only way out of this is by getting to the other side” assured the girl, “besides, I’ll take care of you, like you took care of me”
She smiles and holds out her hand; he takes it and the walk into the tunnel. So dark was it that they had to feel their way around. The walked on for a while when suddenly it got really cold, they walked on for a bit and it felt as if they were walking in circles.
“This is not right” thought the girl “this didn’t look that long a tunnel”
“Darn it your hands are cold!” said Imani
“How can you tell?” asked the girl
“Because they’re on my neck and freezing me to death” retorted Imani
“Imani I’m only holding your hand and my other hand is groping the wall!” said the girl her voice betrayed her deep concern.
Suddenly she too felt a cold caress on her face and instinctively she ejected volts of energy from the sun stone embedded on her palm causing a flare of dazzling light and excruciating scream from this creature as it received volts of energy. In the entire glow it was impossible to miss all the ghouls creeping about the walls!
“We’re surrounded!” whispered Imani
“I noticed” whispered the girl back
The ghouls were closing in fast and she knew they were definitely out numbered! One by one they fought them off but they were just too many and there are only so many surges of energy the girl could emit in such short span of time! Then one of them grabbed her! So cold was its touch and she could feel it draining her power! And it occurred to her that there comes a time when physical strength is just not enough to help you out of a fix; so she chanted a prayer invoking protection from the creator. As she chanted she could feel water trickling in, it was rising fast and the ghouls were retreating into holes in the walls! But the water kept rising and the both had to tread in it just to breath!
“What was that you said about drowning earlier!” the girl mocked
“So this is how it ends!” shrieked Imani
“I think we’ll get out of here if we find the source of the stream before it’s too late!”
So the swum around the cave till they finally got to the source of the stream and as sure as death the found they found their way out of the treacherous tunnels! They were too busy catching their breaths and celebrating life to notice that they’d made it to the pearly temple!
“I can’t believe we’re still alive!” said Imani
“What do say we go into this fancy place and give thanks!” teased the girl
So they walked into the magnificent temple; it had such beautiful arches that let the breezes in and out freely and the finishing was just so enchanting. The walked on to the altar and she went on her knees, closed her eyes and spoke to the creator. When she was done, her eyes were graced by the most beautiful woman she’d ever laid eyes on! She blushed and broke the gaze.
“I’ve been expecting you for a while now”, Said the oracle “you’ve done well; conquered you journey with such passion”
“Thank you but I couldn’t have done alone!” explained the girl “my dear friend Imani and the creator walked with me on the journey not to mention you came to our rescue in the enchanted forest- thank you kindly”
“Your modesty amuses me” smiled the oracle “I have a gift for you; Luna thought it would be fit for a passionate seeker like yourself”
“I’m flattered” said the girl.
So the oracle asked the girl to lie down, she placed the Moonrock on the girls navel and asked Imani to join them the all held hand and the oracle chanted a prayer which as if by magic caused a luminous tattoo to grow about the girl’s body! From the right side of her navel the tattoo grew down to past he hip and right cheek and around her thigh; from the left side of her navel it grew upward past her ribs round her back up her right shoulder and neck behind her right ear to her temple into her eye. When the chanting was done the rock ceased to exist; when the girl opened her eyes, her pupils had changed colour, they were silver like the moon! It was clear that she was one with the moon; a Moonrock to unlock our minds and illuminate our thoughts.

CHAPTER 3: I Am the wind; watch me dance…

THE FURY

One of those awesome days,
When I manage to get off work early,
Thanks to a ‘technical hitch’ at K.P.L.C,
All I can think about is dashing by the supermarket,
Grab some dinner and some of that nice wine,
Then get home and surprise this lover of mine!
Darn it, this lover of mine… I’m so obsessed!
So I finally get home and rush through the door,
Drop the shopping on the kitchen counter,
And move on to the adventure of finding my love,
As I walk out of the kitchen I hear voices…
These voices sip through the walls and dance in the air,
Yes that awkward moment when there’s sounds of love-making,
In your home yet you’re not invited to the party!
Every breath I take is laced with impending infidelity,
Heart pounding; rage growing; blood boiling…
Every step I take towards the voices;
My heart sinks deeper into a cold darkness!
Finally I face the fear; this show of passion,
My lover and another; intertwined in ecstasy!
What’s a woman to do?
The betrayal is just too much!
The numbness afterwards; so soothing!
This lover, no longer mine…
