The Calabash

When Lancia and I started seeing each other
We promised to be true to the course
Even when the truth wasn't worth standing for.
In a spirit of companionship
We decided to buy a calabash
That would be a custodian of our love
And a reminder of what we have.
We invested our love,
Our finances,
Our emotions,
Into that tiny calabash.
Our ups and down,
Our narrows and wide,
Our memories,
And all our valuables
All under one roof.
Our tiny calabash.
Not a single day would pass
Without a deposit
As days went by
So was our investment evident.
It kept doubling and trippling
It was suprising how much this tiny calabash could hold.
Million tonnes of love and emotions
And a life of two love birds bound.
That's is why no matter how mad I am,
Or how right she is
We always find a way to put aside our differences
And let the calabash be our reference
Our custodian and spring of our love.
We all want to keep it safe
We can't break it
As it is much greater than both us.
It has been 47 years and we are still together,
Me and Lancia,
Together with our calabash.
Our calabash love is indefatigable.

If you aren’t growing, you are dying.

Elevate your ears
And listen to the voice.

What have you lost?

What have you gained?

Tune into your consciousness

And listen again.

Is it the same?

On fire,

Or out of flame?

Do you want to leave?

Or still hold on the old belief?

It is strange

Is it?

Do you see any change?

Check it out and see for yourself.

If you aren’t growing, you are dying.

A lone star

A lone star in the sky
Looks down upon a girl
Who has loved for long,
In the shadows, it hides
Hoping the girl isn't in love with the Moon.
Her eyes are lost in the darkness,
As she waits for her love to come out.
The girl loves the stars
But will the star ever know?

Tomorrow

When will tomorrow come?
When will it ever dawn?
I want to see the light again
I need to get rid of my sorrows
Tomorrow awaits alot,
I dont want to miss out.
Tomorrow might get me a wife,
Tomorrow might get me a good job.
I don't know
Maybe tomorrow is the day I meet the angel of death.
I hope not.
God,unfold my tomorrow.
All my anticipations,
All my dreams await tomorrow.
Barren today
A child is what I hope for tomorrow,
Been waiting for long,
I decided to invest my patience in tomorrow.
Tomorrow will save the day.
I hope tomorrow will be a better day
Tomorrow,the jail gates shall open.
Tomorrow,maybe she will be discharged from the hospital.
Tomorrow tomorrow
Tomorrow decides alot.
Somebody might be made from nobody.
Just like Githeri Man
Tomorrow holds alot.
I can't finish writing today
Maybe tomorrow I will.
I don't know about tomorrow.
Only God knows.

Right there with you

One day my girl,
I will be right there with you.
One day,
I will be lying next to you.
Right there cuddling you in my arms
Safe, away from arms way.
We shall then warm from the fire we lit together,
The fire meant for us
The fire of our love
I will give unto you what your heart desires,
And you; what your man wants.
We will entangle,
We will wrestle,
We will kiss and make love.
Every mountain will be leveled
And every hill will bend on its knee.
We shall bring down the walls
And settle all the scores.
This wall that lies between us
Will only be a dream.
A dream thin and dim.
One day my girl
One day.
You are all I need.

It is my heart that loves you

When I hug you
It’s not me hugging you.
Rather,
It's my heart hugging your heart,
tightly like one who has found a soul mate

When I touch you
It's not me touching
You could say it's my hands
but no,
It's my heart touching your heart.
I suppose it is gently fondling your hips, lips and everything.
It wants you to feel every bit of you
As it beats along your heartbeat.

When I kiss you
It's not me kissing.
Rather,
It's my heart kissing every corner of your heart.
With every smooch accompanied by a sweet word.
A word of love.

When we sleep together.
It's not my sleeping with you.
Rather,
It's my heart sleeping you.
It wants feel every inch of you
It wants to live in you
And to own you forever.

Every time I don’t want to let go
When I am hugging, touching and kissing you.
Do not put it on me.
Rather,
Find my heart accountable and yours responsible.
It is you my heart wants.

I do not bow to the weight of my shoulders

I still stand tall
Despite all
I choose to be bold
And not to be bored
They may have me
Like I am their whore
But no!
I don't bow
to the weight of my shoulders.
They may enslave me,
They may use me,
They may abuse me
Riding me endlessly till I black out
Still,I do not bow
to the weight of my shoulders.
I know my home
I know where I belong
Do not give up on me
Do not neglect me
Don't lose me to them,
Don't set me into flames
I know where I belong
So I do not bow
It may be dark today
I may not shine today
But still,I stand tall.
Do not hide your pain,
Do not down your pen,
Let them ride,
But don't let them water your spirit down.
We know who we are!
We do not bow to the weight of our shoulders.
