Obatala

Just my imagination at one time
Wondered about you
Even before I met you
There was a gentle touch to your work
Calm and lightly affectionate
Deep with a simple configuration of verse
I became a follower
I like your get down
Using your intellectual muscle to maneuver words and provoke thoughtful commentary
Cherished thoughts of being your protege
Lead me carefully to new interpretation
Our encounter unpredictable
Confronted by real life
Wiping away illusions to unveil the man

This is a tight piece. I would love to see this performed. Have you perfomed it? Your wordplay is impressive, as usual.

This is like a prayer of thanksgiving, to someone, for someone special ... beautifully crafted and sincerely worded.

Thank you for sharing.

Ooooohhhh, very interesting!!! A mentor, perchance? Or maybe, someone you secretly admire? Either way, I like the way you crafted this piece. It's got an admiration feel to it that is rather pleasing. :)
