If I could walk the seas and the oceans

Or fly the many air miles between us

I would be with you every day

Here I am, in this mountain -sugar -candy country

My mind absent from me

Like a soul in a body, it refuses to leave you behind

You are that erotic tingle ever present in my heart

Sweet and comforting like the sea breeze

Massaging my wild thoughts of hope for a future

The sugar-like feeling you evoke

Turn my nights into days

You are the ever present company, yet, so far away, you are...

Waiting for your call [by Mariama Khan]

Waiting for your call

Sunday, 29^th March, 2009, Mbabane, Swaziland

I am waiting for your call

Eager like the hungry baby for its mother’s breast

I keep waiting, my mind and eyes glued to the clock

I am hungry for your call

Like a starving man for his last meal

My expectation is sky full

I am aching for your voice

Like a singer outlawed on her vocation

A barren field of emptiness churns within me

My mind is restless with the love of you

Like the confused beauty of Swazi mountain ranges

I desire the stream of your being to cool up my worries
