footprints in the earth.....
African Rain Rhapsody
Wet romance feels the air
dripping in the gentle mind
water and green leaves in harmony
the breeze completes the magic
the mattress the suitable companion
for those lucky to be in
in the streets it is raining
wheels and tyres moving in the rain
lightening and thunder
twins in operation
I am in my room
Last week I was outside
getting wet
and listening to the music of the rain
the sound sytem
filters in
then electricity falters
plunging into dripping dark melody
the kerosene lantern
my fuelled star
reflecting on written lines
drinking dogonyaro solution for malaria
local remedy to raging mosquitoes
in delirium for the rain
producing lineage
I pause and end this melody
for black African Rain Rhapsody
dripping in the gentle mind
water and green leaves in harmony
the breeze completes the magic
the mattress the suitable companion
for those lucky to be in
in the streets it is raining
wheels and tyres moving in the rain
lightening and thunder
twins in operation
I am in my room
Last week I was outside
getting wet
and listening to the music of the rain
the sound sytem
filters in
then electricity falters
plunging into dripping dark melody
the kerosene lantern
my fuelled star
reflecting on written lines
drinking dogonyaro solution for malaria
local remedy to raging mosquitoes
in delirium for the rain
producing lineage
I pause and end this melody
for black African Rain Rhapsody
