A Public Secret Reflections of Living and Loving in Liberia An Online Poetry Anthology Visit www.apublicsecret.comIrrepressibleI had a romantic dream of which you were a part; perhaps an indulgent spirit mocking a healing heart. Perhaps a subtle stirring of desires lain to rest or lingering hopes my mind circumstantially suppressed. Whatever the case may be, the eye of my soul clearly sees, how wonderfully irrepressible are one's fondest memories. StillWhen I think of love I lose my place in time; conveyed to moments sublime enough to elicit poignant rhyme. Deep within joy quivers and rises as my heart recognizes the exquisite ecstasy of your laughter embracing me. I catch the salty scent of the sea as we lay on the beach blissfully astounded by the waves crashing and pounding. I think of intimate midnight baths under rainy season showers in a garden of magnificent, crimson hibiscus flowers. Though love be this meditation pain does not elude my contemplation. For how can love attain true appreciation if it has never weathered tribulation? Foolish words wielded like a double edged sword slash deeply and cannot be ignored. Tears mingle with sweat amidst infidelity and regret. Love slipped through our hands like the sands in an hour glass do. Yet when I think of love I still think of you. |

Music:Member Since: 9/6/2006Influences: Outside ChildLong before the sun, Outside Child will rise, fold her mat, tie her lappa and wipe the sleep from her eyes. Her rubber slippers gather dust along the path to the well where she’ll draw water for for New Ma’s children’s bath. Skillfully atop her head she balances the zinc pail, while stepping over driver ants that bite with fire when feet trespass their trail. “Come quick now, before my children be late,” admonishes New Ma when the small girl returns. Waiting upon inside child becomes outside child’s fate. The scent of sweet rice bread fills the air. spying the table she hopes they leave small piece for her there. She is careful that the coal iron scatters no embers that might scorch the uniform she presses. The last cuff to her head for such she still remembers. She watches her siblings stroll off to school as she makes her way to the market for fifty cent cassava to beat for New Ma’s fufu. She slips away while New Ma sleeps to find her own cradle of serenity, betwixt the welcoming limbs of a guava tree. There, inside now, she recalls her own ma’s advice; words that when heeded and repeated would always bring ease and validation to her life. “Whatever you are told, you must do your very best. Try hard, try oh so hard not to make the people vexed.” Hold your heart my child, I telling you, your time coming soon. God love inside child but he love outside child too.” Sounds Like: |
