Close to the Sun

 


Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun
Taste that which is forbidden
Hold another man’s woman – in my arms
Make love to her, dusk till it lights
Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun.

Soon, I’ll fly, close, to the sun
Take her on a tour – Jerusalema
Geography lessons – wonderful curves, round the contours
Lips strawberry – lick ‘em up good – graze
Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun.

Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun
Taste that - forbidden
Hold another man’s woman – in my arms
Strum her, dusk till it lights
Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun.

Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun
Deep, long, moist – the earth – I plant my flag
I am Coloniser – Paradise, claimed
Grinds, thrusts  - the Space Ship takes flight
Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun.

Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun
Taste that - forbidden
Hold another man’s woman – in my arms
Pluck her, dusk till it lights
Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun.

Today, we mourn a good man
A man who flew – too close to the sun
A man who scorched her – at full blast
Jealous was the other – now in chains
Happens at times – close to the sun.

Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun
Taste that - forbidden
Hold another man’s woman – in my arms
Tease her, dusk still it lights
Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun.

Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun
Taste that - forbidden
Hold another man’s woman – in my arms
Mine her, dusk till it lights
Soon, I’ll fly, close to the sun.

Age, Dreams, Love, Death

The sweet child, golden her smile Cuddly and warm is she, ‘cept when called to dine She would rather play, not away her dolls – file Tantrums she is, tantrums she does, this sweet child of mine. Age is catching up Dreams are drying up Love withers away Death rides on the highway. Dreams, the essence of all that is A business to start, a sweet one to kiss If killed, sharp is the cobra’s hiss The daring shoot the star, can’t – the moon – miss. The infant wonders, clear eyes wanders Age trickles, drips and drops to the sea There is still no dreaming of what could be Love, Death – each Being flounders. Age is catching up Dreams are drying up Love withers away Death rides on the highway. Love, some claim He and She - The First Words, deeds, faith, tr...

Written off: Jagaman

  Everybody had written him off, this person whom we shall call Jagaman. He had been an artiste of great promise – social, political issues, a bit of gospel. Then bad company came calling with small small easy money. Now, his songs turned into wine, song and smoke – Mary Jane. His eyes, full ‘nyanya’ –   red ripe tomatoes coloured. Morning till eve. He broke our hearts. Now, nobody called him to concerts and shows. His producer changed to dealing with gospel artistes only, for Jagaman had become full trouble – difficult in every which way: rehearsals, recording, bad breath and hygiene that made the whole studio stink when he was around, cuss words… his company was as desirous as an STI, which he confided to another artiste that he was being treated for. Already, parents in the neighbourhood were complaining as he had four children with three different girls barely out of their teens. It is like Jagaman was cursed. And the person who had cursed him had been buried, as we sa...
