Snaps of Ghana by Van G. Garrett - a valentine's day poem: for africa
i loved you the first time i searched your mountains and felt your deepest plains: breathtakingly beautiful you satisfied and complimented my spirit as i whispered and repeatedly shouted your name in love-laced incantations which pulsated like drums and crested like the ocean where i sat and enjoyed how you spoke to me in refreshing breaths lulling and fanning me under palms which shaded my ashed-over feet burrowed in sands warm and limitless like my love for you and your wonderful and ever-growing family
