Poems

Like Red-Hot Lava

The sun travelled from the East [1]
on its wings of wind
the seeds sprout
and turn into words
to brighten this day
my beloved
 
I want to bathe your soul
in the dew of my waters
an alphabet of vowels
where one enters and is not forgotten
 
I want to be the wind
to calm the raging waves of the sea
hands to caress the volcano
and extinguish the fire of your words
I will heal and calm evil Iwia's wrath [2]
tears to enter your childlike eyes
uncovering myself and erupting like red-hot lava
and rolling like stone turned to fire
into your salty arms
 
To be the time to remain, and together
to head down a new path
to be the hot spring
to quench the thirst of your soul
and to drink the secrets of holy Arutam. [3]
