Who is this nymph?
My back was turned towards her,
Some instinct told me to turn,
As I turned, I saw her,
Who is this nymph?
Her playful smile danced across the air and kissed me,
It was as if a gentle ray from the sun touched my cheek and warmed it,
Her eyes were pools of laughter,
The message they sent me was, ‘I’m so glad to see you.”
Who is this nymph?
Her red hair was ablaze with the sun’s glory,
As it shone behind her,
She was not running towards me,
No, she wafted, light-footed into my arms,
Who is this nymph?
She threw her arms around me,
And planted a sensual kiss on my stunned lips,
Is this the friend I was meeting?
Or some nymph sent by the gods to tease me?
Who is this nymph?

About this poem:
A delightful Houston, interlude. It was great while it lasted, I let her go though, the call of Africa was too strong in those days...
C'est la vie...

The singer…
She took our breath away with the simultaneous beauty of her body and her voice,
She splashed onto the stage, young, vibrant, confident, alluring, and very enchanting,
Like a master-weaver, she began drawing us into her world,
Smiling that inimitably, sparkling smile,
Waving those magical, delicate hands and fingers of hers,
Using them like an illusionist to create an ambiance of romantic expectancy,
Her hauntingly beautiful voice, settled upon us, enveloping us in a bubble of charged electricity,
Her eyes were black, mysterious pools,
Having the ability to absolutely rivet one’s attention,
As she easily, skilfully and playfully put us all in a trance,
From which we did not want to emerge,
As we basked in her intoxicating fragrance.
Heaven, Oh heaven, suddenly she glided across the room and touched me,
I, possessed by some primal and Neanderthal urge,
Seized her in my arms, twirled her around for what seemed like an eternal moment of paradise,
Before I reluctantly, very reluctantly, gently placed her feet back on the ground,
Sigh, as her mermaid body detached from mine,
A part of me went with her,
A part of her stayed with me,
To always bring a sad smile on this tired, old Satyr’s lips.

For My Bestest Friend
Friendship is something to hold on to
But for me that's not the case
Cause I don't feel I need to keep
Something that can't be erased
I am sure of what I have
Cause with you I have no doubt
For what we've built, can't ever fail
It's what I care about
I find it hard to describe
This thing that we share
Especially when there's nothing else
That ever could compare
Others always know
That together we will be
For there can never be another
"Tani and Kerrie"
Those two words, known all over
Might as well be one
Cause without a Kerrie, there is no Tani
I'm sorry, it just can't be done
For you're the "U", and I'm the "S"
And forever that will be
Cause together we make "US", and so
YOU COMPLETE ME!!

It's nice to meet such a wonderful man
Who always does the best he can
To keep his morals and values pure
With a hardship in life he must endure
He keeps on pushing forward in spite
Of all the turmoil that shadows his light
He knows in the end he won't regret
The life he is choosing to live as yet
As he ponders what it's like to see
His new life will be all that it can be
He's touched by the words I freely share
He knows that I will always be there
To see him through his difficult time
Without any reason or even rhyme
It's not important how that is
What's important to me is how he lives....
Love Always

About this poem:
Upon contemplating the man of my dreams I write these words that feel so wonderful. It dawns on me that he is special and a gift to me. A lot of people will relate to these words I believe because the poem is universal in nature.

So lost on the idea of having nothing to lose
Asking for answers in ways no substance can soothe
Proof of belief Feelings I can no longer hide
Following his will I shall forever abide
Casting out all of the thoughts that will Decieve
Never asking for; Just expecting to recieve
Trapped in this Cell, Like a fish to the Sea
Concerned of no other just thinking of me
This cell fish I am in search of escape
I search no further because I believe in fate
Tappering down all my negative ways
Not another day I will long; The end of this Phase
Grabbing a hold of what was given at birth
The power to live and knowledge of its worth
This Cell Fish I am
