This lyrical poetry collection - Love Acts & Talks- is an inspiring, joyful book. The poems are written in the Somali oral tradition of poetry recitation and singing technique - Gabey. Renowned as a nation of poets – the author's attempt at writing Somali Gabey in the english language has produced a collection of beautiful texts. The verses are truly striking, giving a joyful, organic feeling, with contrasting yet very harmonious textures as they are written with an intelligent, playful and creative use of the english language. It is this lyrical style that lends the poems a depth and allows the reader to consider possible multiple meanings of many of the poems. The poems have strong vibrant messages, a celebration of life. Discusing serious issues like human relations and values, respects of freedoms and rights, including children's rights. But the artistic and simple story-telling design makes it effective to relate to such strong messages in hopeful and inspiring ways.

Of lions with their pride
That are said to have heart
Seen as bold, some with might
At times lesser of sight
Fierce when right
Protecting their pride
Not in slaughter, claiming one
Of the lambs that are wolves
That are known to thrive in packs
Not for lies dressed to pass
Respecting the order of ranks
Theirs is one for life
Of family relations and publicties
Bowing down when not right
Of domesticated dogs and cats
Loyal, friendly, social and liked
Independent, free of minds
Different lives and also kinds
Housed, trained, prettywell fed
Allowing each to prosper and thrive
For suitable, each having their own
Of elephants and mighty matriarchs
With strong, loving family ties
That of size, acted on in times
Keeping own, remembering one’s home
Holding memories of new and old
Time after time
Triumphs the right
Of birds in love, mating for life
Serenading with songs and dance
Loyal, playful keeping the romance
In pairs, a family, two makes to rise
Colorful, bright, different of sounds
Freely migrating, north or south
Abidingdevotedly,to nature’s calls
Of humans these stories relates
Not of lions, sheep and wolves
Nor the domesticated dogs and cats
Nor mighty elephants and loving birds
Of dictating loves, the always child
Individual stories, of onemother,oncechild
Respecting freedoms, having rights
Whose kinds of loves, acts and talks
I saw of dark clouds
Worries and frowns
I felt the need
To avoid the reasons
This was not sleep
The reasons were lived
By other’s than me
Yes, I do dare dream
Dream of sweet dreams
And not only in sleep
I hope and I reason
I have many seasons
See my lights
My hope is always lit
The truths with times
These lights do not lie
I give many reasons
The pleasures in life
– And so I dream
I dream as I live
The wakeful, the sweet
This hope that feeds
Makes all life so sweet
So see my lights
With hope’s lights
I dream
I hope and I dream
To live my sweet dreams
So see my hopes
See my lights
To prosper as I live
We love the notion
That one is more than
Where there is love, like and life
Is where there is lust, love and laughter
One is somewhere to be
If there is some love to feel
In love and in life
Most love to love
As with life?
More know that love
Love, truly is
See of glory
Of passion and extension
Sure there is a you
And the more inclusive we
We know the story
Of me and you
We like the bee
Are ready to be
The way we are meant to be
In life and in good health
As weallbe a me
Story be, as we
And we be, as reckoned
Or we be as story in glory
And be lively till morning
Excluding some from we
Or worry till morning
For glory and story
We and me, is story
See, talking we, is a single me
And soyou,some separate I
Story be, as we
And we be, as reckoned
So keep telling story
As story is, already
Sweet story be…
One woman, the other man
This beautiful man, he is one
The other once girl, woman now
All once a woman’s young child
All have feelings of love
Loved humans
Woman, child and man
Human is, also child
