sometimes i'm good, sometimes i'm better and most times i'm Kenyan
The sky and its tears Knock on my window Whispers of the wind Silent, like the black widow Just enough to shoo my dreams Oh, the roof is singing again Pata pata, a call to my pen Pita pata, my feet answer the call And my hands follow, groping the wall I'm awake. I will write about you Bury my thoughts in an avalanche of ink Spewing words of love, words of hate Beautiful lie You bat man and i, your robin Praying, hoping Promise me this is forever Like a hobbit and the ring Like this isn’t just a fling And when it is all over I will forget about you So I can finally go back to sleep

the earth has a heartbeat i have heard it beating fast counting minutes saving dates important dates like the beginnig the earth has a heartbeat a ticking clock a minute sooner to the end the earth has a heartbeat a fading love song a cry for attention a hope for redemption the earth has a heartbeat the earth has a heart the earth is life the earth is me the earth is you

Dahlia once stood. Ruby gems grinned my inner being at ease Dare my heart to enshroud the beliefs you hold. Blush once more and I will Flood your soul inhaling all my desires of forever. Smirks will not suffice; my affix dominates every disposition you may declare, so Act out now. Free will is charity accompanied by reservations to accept. Welcome the kismet in which ------I am surely you in turn you surely me. Unfortunately I am holding back all that I can give. My regret was my reservations buried in my soul in spite of your openness, Willingness to build. My stare left you insecure, confused and distant while yours sent me into complete bliss. Reach out for me, save me

Alcoholic anonymous Biased baseless blame Chances chased, change caged Decisions decisions, dooms day’s drawing Every echo Fifty miles further. For the goose a gander For the helpless a hand But I’m only human Inferno burning through me, yes But human all the same Jeers cheers deaf to the cries Join us, Kind sir, as we take over the world, As grace goes grand.

Grace Goes Grand
I’ve always thought I had, Multiple personalities, Different identities, With different densities. A lover today A warrior tomorrow And maybe, a princess the next. My dreams are big A little insane Most times extreme But mine all the same

Personally
Her hair kinks under the Sahara Her skin, a tan of permanent summer The sheer thought of pluck An untold story Robbed from her distraught history Tough luck? Or maybe manipulated silence Rattle a sleeping dog Remind her what it’s like To speak and be heard To see and understand She will bring a pen to a sword fight Her voice to a gun fight Hoping, Her voice will attract a dozen senses Maybe more than a dozen great minds Her heart beats for this land Her eyes vision a great future She is Africa’s future She is Africa!

AFRICA in her eyes
We were dust before dust Eons in starlight light years behind me. We made the beginning together. Forged in the beautiful stars. Mystical. me. Mystical. you. We were there! You were the major ingredient. It just took a few billion years for us to get here.

Illusion
I am the buzzing bees The slithering seas I am distraction I am nature I am that chance of rain Dampening the saviors reign I try to hear from heaven Yet, I talk the whole time I have not heard the secret The call to be still I have not heard the promise The purpose of your will Your plan for my good I am the world on its knees I am the prayer for peace I am surrender You are I AM My chance at being better I am yours

I AM
You look at me as if I have galaxies in my eyes with planets revolving around my body and sunshine on my breath out of the billions of stars in the sky you are my sun I fell for an astronaut ready to float through the space in my mind I inhale your words and exhale star dust forming the galaxies for you to travel I am your space cadet, my major interstellar teach me to love the cosmos as much as you do because I still have trouble loving the constellations you see in me
