You don't need the permission to shine

You are a star in your own right
You are a star in your dark night
A star in your cloud
You don't need a permission to shine

You are a star in your play
You can star in whatever you may
You are a star in your own way
You don't need the permission to shine

You star high in the sky
You star when everyone is shy
You star because you ain't afraid
To fail or to try

You are a star in your own right
You are a star in your own cloud star You are a star in your dark night
You don't need the permission to star.

Flower in my garden

There is a flower in my garden
A flower like a rose but more

I have been wanting to harvest it

But unceasingly,

It has always said no

It makes me yearn like a bee

To mount on.

But I still let it be.

Because a garden is its home

A garden is where it belongs

And not in my flower jar.

With its aroma it anoints

Blooming all season

Never disappoints.

It calls me the water-can man

I care for it as much as I can

There is this flower in my garden

Like a rose but more

I yearn for it like a bee

Yet I still let it be.

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.
