Looking for a Brown
Skin Boy
She ran away to Italy
In search of pigmentation
Bike speeding down from Switzerland
The white plains ripping by
To warmer lands the goal to find
For she was told in Sicily, a brown skinned boy was waiting
There on the shores of Sicily
The warm sand in her toes
The waves roared tall and formed a fog
Tunisia view is smeared
He stood there eagerly panting
Upon Tunisian shores
To glean the tip of Sicily
Is the brown girl on the shore?

D├йj├а vu
Soft silent silk crossing your skin
Exciting the hairs on your arms.
Tingle
Moving into the senses
Flashes of colour on your horizon.
Memories
Journeys from a source
So familiar the yearning.
Intention
Responding to historical moments.
Memory
Creeping, reaching for where and when
D├йj├а vu.

Deeply moving poems! An amazing writer! I look forward to reading more of her work.
