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

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!

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
Strangers in a room Her familiar perfume a loom A wink from a distance Butterflies in an instance

Winks
this is the story of a boy the story of memories turned blue of what could have been if dreams were true this is the story of nothingness that hollow feeling when love decays the story of a dead blaze of dried out bouquets this is the story of second chances of slow dances and midnight chandeliers the story of a boy
