M/Uganda Here I'm, oblivious of my breath.
TIME Would there be time if all cosmic entities were constant Time makes us age but makes the sun younger Would there be time if there was no night and day Night makes the wicked hearts manifest More so makes the loving hearts blossom The day veils all Would there be time if we're not aging Cherishing young love until the twilight years of existence Like an idea, time perceived than felt Traced in regrets and bliss Only heaviness of existence stretches it And we're only vestiges of its passing May,23,2026

Time
If they could, if they won't Steal my thoughts That keep me company It is like time stopped Every thing fond of Came to a stand still If they could, if they won't The stillness, the familiarness of my surroundings Squeeze the self into oblivion But will they let me be Writing is therapy For the hollow and curious I dream Ink Pots and quills That is what stirs and thins my viscous blood If they could, if they ought Let them know I'm a seed 26th/August/2024

Loneliness of the process
Patience is divine and a panacea I know It is time watched through an hour glass Through observed pain for every grain of ash You own it, honor and peace finds you You ask a thing from God And be blessed to know Somethings may need to happen to be answered May be some one has to be born Some may have to grow old May be at times, even some one has to die That's how weird it could get Or you may need to achieve a certain level of wisdom For your prayer to be answered And when you're in rush for answers Then grief, despair and devastation overcome your peace And even honor and dignity fractures Many things may need to happen For you to rise. 27th/December/2023

Every grain of ash
Would time tell that once we were Two wandering kinds in the realm of love Knew we belong yet denied It was just blooming in our hearts What I abandoned To love one thing and hate another Young love is but a fountain of memories You cherish it with your toes curling Deep in my heart I knew you're the one You're tender, rare and witty You were an innocent rose Spreading its scent to unfamiliar world You're a flower whose beauty matches no vase. 27th/December/2023

Empty vase
Collect his tears in a pail They got the right nutrients To water the tree of freedom Fruits to bear for the youth But how can we collect enough If we don't fight enough No time to cower under beds The tempest blows the roofs off He looks through the little light That pierces through the needles eye It's the same ray of hope That stirs him Collect his tears Collect some more Better live than exist Better expressed than suppressed 14th December 2023

Tears in a pail
Soul, don't slip through that windpipe Soul, hang on even if it be on thorns Though you bleed to find tomorrow Angels, fledge his soul from the wind For wind flies the wingless Scatters seeds of men Shakes marrows of old When time draws close Feathers on the quill sway Feel of hair on the heads numb and the bald heads run cold Colored spots in eyes cloud For wind flies the wingless Shakes off hands of clocks Skins crease to dry dates You dither you wither Then you realize Those myths are true stories, that grew weak 14th December 2023

Wingless
Babe, you knew When the clouds grow darker When the thunder thuds It's not going to be a fine weather Babe, you know When you hear a squeak sound in the bedroom It's not just the pets Girl, you see When the movie tempo rises For sure it's going to be a bad scene You're playing a Russian roulette in Paris Who got you a slingshot to face the tanks You blend a bouquet of guns and orchids I heard you sigh like a barbecue Now dizzy and woozy I sniff the  soot I can hear the sirens You played a Russian roulette in Paris 2nd December 2023.

A Russian roulette in Paris
Love of the moss grows shyly for the rock With the rock nothing to flaunt Whispers and sheds misty tears Woods shun the rock But the moss dares it Giving the green cushion and the glisten it longs Such is the extravagance of the moss The green blanket of the Eskimo For the moss will give the rock buds for it to taste the mist of dawn Shrubs and thickets will envy but embrace their despise Winds swipe the shrubs The moss nestled against the rock Hugs, sticks and vows Till man do us apart.

No barren hearts
You're the fluid, I'm the mould I give you shape, and you make me brim I'm here to let you know How much I bear the burden of a heartache When you drift away I have told you what I feel Even when those eyes of yours laugh waiting for telltale signs or am I starting to see patterns in what seems to be randomness of our existence Should I believe in coincidences or the metaphors of time Your deep brown eyes a guiding discovery to our future If I could recite a mantra so powerful that it could rhyme With the unsaid sophistication of your wondrous stare and recite to the myths of our time That nothing was made of us away from us.

Half chances.
You had no shadow because you're a light The clouds followed you with shade because you're a mercy Your sins before and after were forgiven because you belong to paradise Angel Gabriel got lost in your light because you're the finest of creations You had the ring of the prophets because you're chosen Your message is for the whole world because you are the last of  the prophets.
