ANY 1 DAY NOW!



Someone to care for, who will care for me.
A hand to hold, eyes to gaze into ones soul.
A smile that breaks me into sweat, a laugh and hug that will make me forget, all the wrong in this world.

In my mind I vaguely see, a vision of the girl that will walk this road with me.
If at times your mind has wondered too.
You wished for love and someone to hold you true.
For a time when the world will seem to just fade away.
A feeling like that mankind would trade for all his days.

I believe that all these things are real.
As for me... I’ll search my whole life if it should take, to find my love, best friend and mate.

What I ask is not a miraculous task.
It is the humblest of hearts that at night cries out in the dark.
A silent scream that shakes the foundation of even the vainest of men.

We are born into this world, and at first breath without the curse of sight upon us, we begin our search.
Just the heart that looks to be fulfilled, with life’s blood that cannot be spilled.

"Numi" is the pen-name I adopted in 2007 after a friend gifted me a copy of The Essential Rumi; by Coleman Barks. After reading some of my works, it was suggested that it reminded them of the works by Rumi. In no way do I align myself with this Great Master Poet, but I do feel a deep connection to his poetry, and the book of Essentials was my constant companion during a 5 year saga, where I was stranded in the Amazon Jungle of Peru, from 2010-2015. Everything in my collections were written during a 4 year period, 1999-2003. more…
