He stole my heart,
had me thumping to his beat
told me he was born & bred
an African chief
I pause for a minute
to listen to his drums
the thunder in his voice
made me succumb
his rythmn starting jolting
springing me to life
he broke the sound barrier
gave me new sight
I became infatuated
with his mellow rythmic flow
he had dropped an anchor
that wouldn't let go
I smiled as I leaned back
to hear that last chord
& for the first time in my life
I knew, love was overboard
