Harvey
The whirlpool of controversies to ignite a spark,
And like an Irish-born with words to the masses!
For i want to do the unthinkable with my lover and,
My name is Harvey with her calabash of love.
Yes, her calabash full of water!
Because i am in this unfair world with the parking lot;
And i need time to understand her well being.

Water from another man's calabash tests differently.
Do I Need The Pen
Do I need the pen to write
Deep is a dropp of a story inside
Like water that waters the garden
so then green is restored
Do I need the pen to sell
By going around and come back
With overhead are the pumpkins
that makes my day run go
Do I need the pen to relux
That fills my hope of moments
That files my days of the youth
On the timeline it goes
Do I need the pen to say
the little calabash with
a cool well behind the cup
That soothes inward the soul
And stops in a big full stop

Yoruba [African] Bride
Mo te' ni. Mo te' ni
Sun mo mi, we mo mi
Our beautous chattel,
Ripe and ripe as these glistening fountains
Let the knowingness of the moment
Frolick nigh your jugging breasts
Held high 'bove these dancing waist-beads
Sun mo mi, fa mo mi
Yarabi lo m'eyi t'o le d'omo
Our African mound,
Formed amid the twigs of strangers
Let your full buttocks, round as full moon
In a low sky at night
Sway and shake farther than the lithe beads
Mo te' ni. Mo te' ni
Sun mo mi, we mo mi
Our Yoruba maid,
Let these calabash-cups and gourds
Guide your course past famished paths of envy
Your tugging flash of black
Will adorn the supple 'sanyan'
Sun mo mi, fa mo mi
Yarabi lo m'eyi to' le d'omo
Ebony glaze across the African maze
Let your laali-tinted toes, tiro-rimmed eyes
Throw your cold spirit yonder
Beneath those eaves of manly haven
The sun scotches you no further
Mo te' ni. Mo te' ni
Sun mo mi, we mo mi
We give our blessings upon your
Sparse pale brown head
Even the gods do little
Let these broken calabash patches
Bring you offsprings, sweetly brittle

A bowl should not laugh when a calabash breaks.
No war has been fought by men carrying a calabash of 'njohi' but of 'ucuru'.
Be careful when you are sharing a calabash of porridge with a toothless man.
A woman who needs to borrow a calabash cannot count on going early to the stream.
Sacrifice
ignite me
ignite me with just a spark
from you in the dark
and i will be this fire that burns
that lights from day till night
to warm your body
and guide you in your way
and when i am ashed
tell them if they ask
i have done my duty
i had it my little own way
from the spark of your love that never dies
i have become the constant sacrifice

The World
the world is unfair everyday
the world is unfair everyway
the world is unfair when a loved one dies
the world is unfair when the dead ones mother cries
the world is unfair when we have to go to war
the world is unfair when the soldier hits the floor
the world is unfair when a bullie hits you in the gut
the world is unfair no matter what

No matter how tough the current of a river may be it is the calabash that triumphal over the river.
Coffie
I am the voice of love from afar searching for you,
And you are on a mission towards my love;
But the calabash gourd is still around you,
And like the muse of your love in the land of Malaya Roses.
I am called Coffie and the aroma of your love is around me,
But wisdom is what we need together on this love;
And like the rainbow colours in the land of your muse,
But i am ready to lead you on with my sweet love.

Served With A Calabash
Visit me in the Kalahari Desert and,
Come and taste my sweet love with the heat of the sun;
And there you will meet my siblings waiting to serve you.
Visit me in the Kalahari Desert and,
You will see the moon already up high in the night of my love;
For the story of love is all that i have to serve to you!
Life is very hot out here and your love will cool me down,
For it is like the story of the Bushmen in the jungle;
But slowly you will come to understand things with me.
At times, it is like the snake with seven heads;
But with the river of love that flows beside me.
YOu have to carry your mat on your shoulders along,
For i will be there always to guide you onto the paths of love;
And my love will lead you like the sugar and the honey,
For the story of love is all that i have to serve you.
Come and learn my ways on this desert!
For it is served with a calabash to keep you at home;
And my mind will be at rest always with you.

Taught To Fear And Suffer
Taught not born,
To hate.
Taught not born,
To fear.
Taught not born,
To discriminate.
And taught not born,
To jeer.
Taught not born,
To give.
Taught not born,
To take.
Taught not born to be of benefit to others.
But many bigots interfere...
With an infliction of their insecurities,
That smother one another.
Some are taught they are better than most human beings.
With a stunting of their own growth,
In isolated dreams.
And then their are those who confront others,
With obvious legitimate needs.
Ultimately to suffer from these misdeeds.
Taught not born,
To hate.
Taught not born,
To fear.
Taught not born,
To discriminate.
And taught not born,
To jeer.
Taught to greed selfishly!
Taught to deceive and steal like thieves!
And taught to cheat to succeed...
No matter who does the suffering and bleeds.
Taught to fear and suffer.
As a right,
To incite and ignite...
Fear.
As a right,
To incite and ignite...
Suffering,
Inflicted.
As a right to incite and ignite,
Fear!
Taught to fear and suffer.
As a right,
To incite and ignite...
Fear.
As a right,
To incite and ignite...
Suffering,
Inflicted.
As a right to incite and ignite,
Fear!

On My Laps
There is something between the legs and,
There is something between the lips;
But love does crown the way always,
And, here we are today!
I can converse with the intelligent beings,
But this love is hotter than July! !
And, i can make you sleep on my laps;
For ylour kisses are like the white calabash around me,
And like my maid who cleans my house in her bikini.
From the napkins to the blankets,
From your roses of love to the kisses of your lips,
And like, tending my garden and planting my seed of love;
But, i can k´make you sleep on my laps.

Love, the dive in and out
Falling in love
Is like diving into water
With a splash.
To be in love
Is like to be
In water and inside water
swimming, sporting, playing
Frolicking, floating
With air and without water
To be with the outer world
To be without the outer world.
To be out of love
Is coming out of water
The deeper, one in love
The more time is consumed to come out
The more time is consumed to dry oneself
Getting out of love
Is not coming out to senses
Time has different unseen path
To traverse back
For each lover in love.

Lover Doll
(words & music by wayne - silver)
Lover doll, oh lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Youre the cutest lover doll
That I ever did ever see
Let me tell you lover doll
You were meant, just meant for me
On the first time that I saw you
How I fell for your cuddly charms
Lover doll Im crazy for you
Let me rock you in my arms
Im so glad I found you
Never thought dollies came full grown
Im gonna tie a ribbon around you
Wrap you up and take you home
I would never treat you badly
Like a cast away broken toy
Lover doll I love you madly
Let me be your lover boy
Im so glad I found you
Never thought dollies came full grown
Im gonna tie a ribbon around you
Wrap you up and take you home
I would never treat you badly
Like a cast away broken toy
Lover doll I love you madly
Let me be your lover boy
Lover doll, lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Let me be your lover boy
Lover doll, lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Let me be your lover boy
Let me be your lover boy
Let me be your lover boy

Desperate Lover
'I will marry you even if you are married'!
Ha-ha-ha-ha! ! ! That's a speech from a desperate lover;
But we should understand her because,
This world is full of hate than love.
'Aleph and Tau'!
Alpha and Omega! !
The Beginning and the End,
The First and the Last;
But keep yourself in love and look for mercy always,
For this desparate lover knows what she is saying.

Man's Future
Somehow there remains
a little spark
to light up the universe
while things seem dark.
Let the spark ignite
and blaze again
for all good souls
and all good men.
We must lose the sigh
and never allow
the spark to die.

My Irish Granny
A Tribute To My Irish Granny
By Marie Hurst on 17 June 2011
land of my grt grt grt grandmother beckon to me
Lure me home over the Irish sea
There with eyes of pure emerald green
My granny once walked, my Irish queen
Mary I never knew you, I wish I had
You died long before for that am sad
All I know is you where my granny
my Irish queen.
from County Derry, Where I have never been
Let the Irish music play so sweet
let the shamrocks be crushed not by my feet
For I am the outsider, born in the UK
yet I would love to be Irish Just for a day
Mary Glendenning born in 1836 I love you
I have never seen your home land
But May God Bless You
