Touaguba Hill
I’ve said my goodbyes to you
A long time ago
But still the memories return
Haunting, waylaying me – in the night
I recall that night
I walked to Ela Beach
Just to be nearer
To speak to you
It was cold
It was beautiful
Beautiful and cold
Like you can be
I spoke to you
Said everything I needed to say
On my knees
In the sand
With the wind
Whistling through the trees
And the waves
Breaking on the shore
How blissful
Natures lovemaking that night
I was there to witness
But you were asleep
Somewhere safe
On Touaguba Hill
Blissfully ignorant
Of my words
My presence
My passing.
