I'd like to meet:
People who bring music, lightness and laughter into my life, interesting, warm, honest, funny, generous, goofy people with a sense of humour...
.."Come! Shebafy Yourself With Me!.."
Come! .."Shebafy.." yourself with me!
Let go of your .."realness..", your supposed to be
self- that is never quite satisfied,
with rituals, by which, you claim to be edified.
This process will break all your traditions,
color your eyes, broaden up your horizons.
Wash out the stains of prejudices you hold,
heat up your spirit that.."s forever been cold.
Make you call .."hip..", what you labeled as .."weird..".
Stick you out like PEPPER when you are neared-
by stubburns, in subburbs or cities or towns,
from whom you.."ll be gifted with jewelries and crowns...
For your .."Shebafied.." self; your stupefied wealth,
your newly posessed state of open-mindness.
You.."ll be like Queen Nefertiti on her glorious days,
Like the great Houdini, with his tricks that amaze:
bringing wonders to the mind of the pitifully common,
dumbfounding the intelligent, while wizening up the moron.
You will love, you.."ll be loved and become love itself.
Once transformed into .."Sheba..", you.."ll discard your old self;
Your old likings, your old views,
your pointless outings, your old crews.
Success will come like all expected dues.
.."Cause you.."ll be a .."Sheban..":
a Nubian,
whose home is in Eden
Drinking life, abundant,
from the cup that is Golden
This is your chance to finally be free,
Come! .."Shebafy.." yourself with me!

The Warmth of Understanding
The relationship I’d like to have
is one where I could share
and get a positive response
instead of just a stare
I don’t want to explain
my every intention
I don’t want your complaints
about my other dimensions
If I want to meditate,
create or contemplate.
If I want to sleep,
eat, cook or weep
If I want to see things on a higher plane
Where my psychic powers are in their own domain
Then please set me free
Don’t come after me
Be my love light burning
That sets me yearning
To come home to the warmth of understanding
To come home to the warmth of understanding
