The thin spiked yellow jeweled crown, Fits tooth to grove on her head, A marvel of opulent beauty, Smokes out a seigneurial aura. The garland blossoms on her head, Sneezing a charm of yellows and reds, A scenic ooze of mesmeric fragrance, Matched by her ardent smile. She wears the crown of my heart, Rules the throne of my love, With an unmarked affable affection, For she has much love to give

THE CROWN FITS
Painfully  the  heart  beats the  chest,   Ember  of  lineal  segregation  will  come  out,   And  the  ripping  blaze of fire  will  engulf,   Communal  harmony  consummating  peaceful  coexistence  gulf,   Executing  ethnicity,  caste, creed  and  religion  smithereens.   Patriot’s  spirit  yields  serene  backdrops,  Everyone  permanently  scribbling  down the  tales,   And  if  we  don’t  improve  the  stories,   Coming generations will  be  forced  to  clean up our mess,   Ending  up  in  the  question  “what is  peace?”   Peace  is  simply forgiveness,   End  of  hate,  war  or  violence,   Abstinence  of  using  violence  to  show  our  emotions,   Calming  silence,   Endeavor to  have  unity  in  diversity.   Portrayal  of  Kenya’s flag  is  peace,   Entailing  every  magic  spell  of  her  climate,  history  and  culture,   Appraised  by  her  quick succession  of seasons,   Culminated  by  the  gentle  sun  and  benign  rain  that softens  the  mind,   Endorsing  peace  naturally.   Wishing a peaceful 2017 General Elections in Kenya.

MAGICAL KENYA'S PEACE
As  the  simmering  soup  lets  out  a dreamy  aroma  of spices,   The  scent  wafts  through the  nose  soothingly,   Leaving  the  lungs  with  lively  flavours,   I  guess  that  explains  why  we were  bouncy.   “This  soup  treats  a  cold”   Grandma  usually  said  while  serving,  All  the  children  could  not  withhold,   The  joy of visiting  grandma  in spring.   Her  huge ***  seemed  bottomless,   Yes,  she  never bought  a  smaller ***   On  the  dinner table,  the  soup  brought  a  sense  of  closeness,   The  kind  of  love  that  cannot  be  bought.   As  I  slip  in the  memories,   The  side of my mouth  subtly  curls  up,   Summing  up  the  thought  of  copacetic  spring  medleys,   And  taking  the  soup  in  place  of  the  syrup.

GRANDMA'S SOUP
What do you see when you look in my eyes? Do they betray my overwhelming love for you? What do you see when I am all smiles? Does it paint a ray of sunshine on your face? What do you feel when your head rests on my bare chest? Does my heartbeat send shivers down your spine? What do you feel when I hold you tight as we walk abreast? Do you feel my heat running through you? What do you like when you taste my lips? Does my lips melt your wall? What do you like when I send my velvety touch on you? Does it rise the hairs on your skin? Response What do I see when I look in your eyes? I see your soul in your almond shaped eyes. What do I see when your lips curve in a perfect smile? The world is a better place when you smile. What do I feel when your head rests on my chest? I feel the telepathic connection in every heartbeat. What do I feel when you hold me tight in your arms? Amazing how time flies when I am in your arms. What do I like when I taste your strawberry lips? The taste awakens my soul without pause or doubt. What do I like in your deep hearty touch? That touch has made me a poet.

DEEP
The full moon gazed blindly upon us, Its light peering through every crack and crevice, I grabbed your hand and sprinted near the cliffs, Both of us panting once we reached the palm trees. We could feel the sand blistering on our feet, Wallowing and clutching at each other to feel the heat, We fell down together on the crystalline sand, And the shooting stars obeyed the command. Your eyes, framed by long lashes, Were irresistibly charming with bright glows, The constricting coldness in its pupil drew me in, Yet still betrayed your creamy feelings dripping. You then started to turn slowly, Your cheeks first, very chubby, Followed by your lubricious lips, It graced against mine with a brush of our eyelashes.
