ENGAGED

I am no longer engaged
Not by her words
Not by her little talks
Not by our chats
I feel no need
To respond to her
I am bored
For I no longer
Feel engaged


I am no longer engaged
physically, mentally or emotionally
I am vacant
a fact she finds unpleasant
like stranger, we are
bound in this cage we call home
weathering our perfect storms
we stare at each other
but we dont even bother
To talk to one another
The peak is gone
For I no longer listen

I am no longer touched
by her affectionate gestures
The kiss on the cheek
The hugs, the smiles
I have let her go
I have let her go
and she still holds on
I am no longer engaged.

NOTHERN KENYAS PROBLEMS

Now to most of my audience, I am kenyan. like most other keynans, I AM BEATEN AND DEJECTED BY THIS LIFE. however i am better than most. not because of my background. but because fate had it that I am not subjected to the same degree of  suffering and neglect that society has let them face.

it is appalling to note that humanity still stooped so low as to kill for economic gain, gain that is not only tainted by blood, but by corruption. I am utterly dismayed when the world says that we have a government, while in reality we have blotted, bigoted blind fools sitting in parliament as they plot on how best to eliminate their constituents and enrich themselves. forgive me "Mr PRESIDENT,  but you are are the biggest glutton of them all. firstly, for allowing your cronies so much room as to perpetuate murders and massacres of epic proportions with out lifting a finger to stop it.
secondly for making this great nation of baboons and idiots worse by turning it in to a reactionary state. we are always reacting to crisis and never acting to avert it.GARISSA, MPEKETONI, BARINGO, TURKANA and the endless list of blood drenched coves in this country that i suppose with all its faults, should no longer exist at all.
i have never seen individuals so taken by self-interest and greed that they would sooner sell out their own children and parents to gain a worthless shilling as everything around them turned to ash before their very eyes. however the beauty of this unjust and obtrusively skewed world is that balance always find its way. either by the cruel hand of fate, or the humorous kick of ignorance. the problems you look at and feel to far detached from will know on your front door if you do not address them soon. and they will demand the absolute measure of their dues. the north of this country is not to far removed from state house. it has happened before in other states, you have done nothing to stop it from happening at home

understand

do not tire of me
asking how you are
at odd hours of the day
caring  for what you are doing
texting, calling, I.M.ing
constantly budgering
and bothering
it is my nature
where you are concern.
and my natural response to thoughts of you
I cannot draw myself from it.
neither can I deny it
do not be cross.

do not think me a bore
when i dot over you
a little more
than would be thought the norm
when i go above and beyond,
to make you smile
it is in my nature
to tend to you,
forgive me again,
forgive a thousand times over,
i ask, forgive me

there are strange things
love does to a man
turn him to a fool before his peers
make him weep for his fears
(the lose of you)
make him soft when hardness is expected
these are the things you do to me
understand
that you are my weakness,
that you are my strength
that you urge me on
when most tell me stop
understand
that I do it all for you

Death Be Gentle

Death be kind,
When you knock at my door,
rap it once
that I may be the only one
that will hear you.
and none else may awake
Image result for grim reaper
Death be gentle,
no to leave me in pain
be so kind
as to not linger in the shadows
for too long,
and give me false hope
of a life to go on
Image result for grim reaper
Death be gentle
when you approach
me with you shroud,
lay it lightly on me
but do not pull it tight
sit with me a moment
have a drink with me
have a chat
Image result for grim reaper
Death be soft
when you clench your jaw
on my frail bones
life sips away from  me
do not allow me a glimpse
a flitting glance
of what was
that as I ebb
I should not look back

nature

i make this morning walk
dancing by the stream
listening to it gush
listen to it trickle
watching the frogs splash
into the water
watch droplets sprinkle
Suns rays bouncing
fluttering on the streams face
thinking, reflecting, understanding
the very nature
that surrounds me

lost

I lost my soul
gave my heart
and had it broke
gave my love
and had it lost
betrayal is what I got

Image result for silhouette
 I lost my faith
after I prayed
yet still I failed
 I had tried,
yet I strayed
from the path
that had been made
Image result for silhouette
 I have felt pain
so your hand I cannot take
not now,
at least not yet
and if you love
 I am sorry, you are late
 I am lost to fate
 I am closed to hope
my love is lost

youth

it is strange getting old,
fading from gold
to base metals
fading like flower petals
losing value
till you feel
worthless
a little like dust

it is strange getting old
strength fades away
vigor dissipates
and strange reminders
of a life long gone
are all that is left
bones creek, muscles ache
and thought is you only friend

it is strange getting old
as the smoke of youth
billows away
the wisdom of time
hangs dense
shading light in dull times
it is strange getting old.
