Katara

They songesha like water,
Shadowless, in their luminescent
Splashing, like the laughter
Of waves on the beach, incandescent
By siku with a million reflections of sunlight,
Remaining awake as the full moon kwa night….

They smile like friends,
Long-lost but never forgotten,
Longing to make amends
For opportunities unbegotten;
Beyond physical embrace, emerging
To enclose my lonesome spirit with their merging…

They gaze like sisters
In a fellowship of healing:
Mending fractures, soothing blisters,
Closing gashes, never leaving
Any wound untended
By healing as water was intended;
A spiritual transfusion—
My being...

KATARA, wewe ARE….

Always kwa my side,
As in wewe I can confide
My innermost state of being,
With you, beyond just seeing
You; though ever we are
Locked in a gaze,
Steady as a shining star,
Through Time’s ephemeral haze….

Always in my mind, seeing
Beyond our eye-to-eye
Contact, beyond even touching,
Beyond tasting your sweetness, I ….
Am engulfed by
Your affection
Like the ocean does my reflection
In your eyes I see the connection
That brings our souls to integration…

Always in my heart,
Together au apart;
Our union transcends space,
Events, Time and place;
For ever are we,
In ways we cannot see,
Comforted...
