HE CHANGED HIS TENSE

It used to be

That he said

For a while back then

Life he played

Wishing things would change

And life would bless

Rather than the curses he gets

He wanted no regrets

He used to speak

Negativity in tonnes

But little did he know

It is affecting his place

His entire wall was broken

Broken by that one pain

He spoke in past tense

A change in tense

Would change his grace

Would change his fame

Now he is changed

The present is all he embraces

He is blessed

And this is his testimony

SUICIDAL

The breathing is heavy

Plenty of time wishing

Wishing this pain would fade away

A path chosen and it just might fail

Fail as the pain gets frailer

Leaving another disastrous trail of a failed attempt

At the least possible hour

A minute past midnight

She has stared death in its eyes twice

Both times death running away from her

Now she needs another method

Another reason to succeed in this mission

This suicidal vision

The vision is so clear

His enemies still near

As a separation of she from the enemy

Is what she desires in this time at least

The enemy is from within

The feelings of failure and no need

Useless she thinks she is

And this she will chose to be

An existent memory in their lives

After all no one loves her

That includes death

IF ONLY

If only she knew that she inspired many

She would not have tried to take her soul

The final trigger at the time she wrote

Her last wishes upon her departure

Was a simple comment from a long lost lover

Professing a truth that she knew he knew not about

 

She felt like a lepers

With limps that are slowly being eaten away

She felt like a beggar

With wealth of knowledge yet still poor

She dreamed of a future

But woke up to a screamy nightmare

She wished for peace and only one avenue was here

 

She wrote of the ills she had done

The ills to her mum

The killing of her unborn son

The stealing of a married man

 

She tore into her little soul

Cried for her heart to resist

The temptation of a final destination

The temptation of a rope on her neck

 

Her soul bleeds from within

Tears dried, and a sin

She is going to jump from within

Jump from her body to be free

She takes the leap

MANLY EXPRESSIONS

With men it is hard,

to express love with one stride

Loving aloud is a challenge at first

We know that our ladies are

The center of a glacial enrichment

The pride of a champion’s reward

The essence of a perfect applause

We know that we are in so many ways silent

But we show in the little things we do

In the simple ways we call out your name

We try to hide but it is hardly easy

Words are hard and makes us fizzy

But if I trust you so much

You will know

If I care for you thus much

I will show

If I lack in one gift I compensate in more

Please embrace my more and ignore

The simple wording that you expect

I have said it a million times in my head

But just not as loud

I know you imagine my words

Now is time to read the ones I write on your skin

IT’S BEEN A WHILE: I AM BACK

It’s been a while since we spoke

Since we shared a word

Welcomed you to my world

 

It’s been a while since we reflected

On the past and the future inspected

For fruitfulness and leisure

 

It’s been a wile since I called

Your name or the phone

In your hands

 

It’s been a while but now I’m back

Back to making your life a part of me

 

It’s been a while so I will approach

Slowly

FRIENDSHIP: IN THAT MOMENT

In that moment when you decide you want to be alone

You request for alone time

You disappear into yourself and cry

In that moment when you say bye

And linger for a while to see if he will go

In that moment when you hold on

And wish you were not holding on alone

You want things to be different

You want him to say something

You want they to remain

You want solitude but with someone

You want them to go and return in that moment

In that moment you want your true friends to remain

MABAWA(WINGS)

Nitapaa,

paa juu angani

With these little wings of mine

I will take a leap and flap

Flap so hard to get the lift

Rise from the fall

Look beyond my faults

Not of my making

Look beyond the poverty and rise

Rise to the skies above

Rise with the help of love

Love from you and they

Love in so many ways

Expressed with the help of one

You as a family of us

I will flap my wings and fly

Fly beyond today

Fly for tomorrow’s sake

I will flap my wings real hard

And gain lift

As you watch me take to the clouds

Fly very high

MISTAKEN

Just because I say hi

It does not mean I’m interested

It pisses me off

To be considered a pest

For the mere action of being polite

I personally give a lot to people

Time is one of the things I got in plenty

Kindness is something I can never hold back

And just because I call and text

I say I’m blessed

Does not mean I want you at best

Play hard to get

You ain’t my taste

I was just being polite

And I’m sorry that was just that

Arggggggh

SUDDENLY

I suddenly feel the urge to be

No longer a kid but a grown up

To please my queen and her misters

Dish out gifts to the gangsters

Feed the hungry with some wise words

 

I suddenly feel the tag from the whole world

To walk to the jails and unlock some

Kill the murders who are on death row

Take pictures of wars and claim for

Compensation of my brain for the torture zone

Where I took myself to for the world to know

 

I suddenly feel the need to

Become a bee, feed the entire being with sweet words

Make the earth retreat to slumber land

Become the batman during the day light

Be the news broadcaster and the weather man

 

I suddenly feel the need to do the impossible

Be some who I am not

Passionate yet a bad boy

Wish this could happen, now I let go

Of the pressure from nowhere

For me to be somewhere

I am my own and I will not do anything suddenly

CAN WE BE?

I am waiting for the chance

To look at her in her eyes

Avoid the smile from within

Make a curve with my legs

Stretch out my shoulders

Open my lips slightly

Utter the words

Hoping not to choke

Hoping for the best of all

Hoping the decision will not have to wait

I will ask

Ask slowly

Ask it nicely

Will you be my date from now henceforth

Make me the lucky man to call you babe

And mean every sense of it

Will you let me be?

Be

Be

Be your man?

A REPLY WITH LOVE. To the Old-School African Politician that Acts Without Soul (Guys, you will like this one)

Officially extinct you say

So before you were born I was

I was crawling on the surface

Making life a place for other to live

Regardless of whether they live right or wrong

Suffering or enjoying the joys of living

I made something of this place

A different life you confess

But forget not that the past is where it all began

It began with a single strand of clothing

That changed the style

A single hem that made the cloth

Would you wear it that way if I hadn’t too?

It began with a single invention that changed the frequencies

The frequency that evolved to what you are tuned into

It began with a single strand that changed the music

Brought in the acoustics of this new jingle

The new jingle that you play to the mob

Mobilizing them to make you the leader

It began with a single word that began the revolution

And guess who invented the alphabet

As you grew up you thought of me as a burden

A burden on your back and you strived to duck

To jump of the cliff is all part of the plan

Part of the process of letting you discover

I held on to you as you took the leap

Off the cliff we were air bound

I did not flap my wings

So we set on a roll

And down we went as you straggled to flap

At last your wings got strength

So I let go and let you ascend

Watched you flap

Watched you go up

But I only wish you would request for my advice

Let me teach you how to flap through the volcanic ash

But since you feel you know so much

Call me extinct with my century old knowledge

Let’s see what you can do without me

Your mother to guide

 

A reply evoked by Kingwa Kamencu’s poem here

(It’s not a fight to oust the old guard from power showing them how it should be done! We should strive to get into their hems and be a cloth of change not a patch of threads.)

REJUVENATION

 

from sayingmages.com

Today I smell of fresh daisies

Of sweet fragrances

Well laid out to depict my unique scent

My own perfume of today’s loveliness

Drawing the smile from the deep well

The well that hid my glowingness

Flashing across my cheeks

Defining my gift

My inborn reassure of life

Life that I embrace in my heart

With a joy of foreverness

And a conviction of bondedness

An outflow of happiness

Abundantness

Now we smile in fullness

I pass it on to you

Now smile

completeness

EMOTIONAL ZOMBIE

My heartbeats are slowing down

Down to a simple hit and a simple pump

Slowly suffocating my solid life

Giving it fluidity in its solidity

As my emotional river

Stream to a rapid stop

At the edge of the cliff

Avoiding the solo fall

The only drop

Down the fall of forever

 

Before this there were numerous channels

Flowing to the loved ones and more

Now just an emotional zombie

Walking dead on four

My emotions disappeared

A plastic smile designed

Laughter from a pre recorded tape pressed play

Sweet words read from the script of a Mexican soap

Regardless of lost translations

My hands no longer feel

They just touch

Touch for the sake of it and nothing much

I have become a collection of art works

Graffiti inside

A painting outside

What you perceive is what you receive

But as you try to get the emotion

I disintegrate in the notion

And disappear into the nothingness of zilch

 

I hope this will be

That maybe I need not do anything

Need no solution in deed,

Or maybe the right person will come

And resurrect the life of my emotions

So that I may feel alive again

Just maybe.

KEEP STRONG

Today I spent time

Swimming in the deep end

The deep end of trust

That sunk fast

Into the waters of distrust

In contrast of what we heard

 

It was a sweet past

But now brings distaste

For its distress

Were enormous

 

I hurt myself in the process

Making life loose its prospects

Hurting was a norm and a contest

Of whether it will be in the fun context

 

I work hard to get my head high

High off the waters of past cries

Distill myself with a sweet smile

Dress my eyes in a positive spectacle

Walking through the feelings of obstacles

 

Since you left my past, you deleted yourself in my present and you can never be in my future

WHAT MAKES YOU?

+ve everyday

What makes you wake up?

Wake up in the morning with that smile on your face

Conquest for the day already made

Failure a thing never mentioned your way

Success a friend and a marital affair

 

What makes you stand out from the rest?

Distinct in your walk and definition lucks

Determined to make you an example of sorts

Originality a gift and a steady path

You are you for the things you are

 

What makes you reliable?

Makes you reliable first to yourself then to the rest

The power to engage your time at best

Giving promises that make much sense

Keeping the mentions you allow to prevail

From your lips, your actions you keep

 

What drives you for the day?

Drives you to the goals that you cannot see

Attain a gift that you cannot buy

Why wake up if not for a purpose

Discover you and you will be a world’s role

Model
