M/Blantyre, Malawi This is my diary, my inner person, my emotions that may not be noticed by the outside world. Need not be used elsewhere without my consent.
It only takes a second to enter a new year An event that will come & go & leave yu here The sky is still blue, birds still singing ***** closet still awaits you, still needs cleaning If yu had a beer in 2020, 2021 would not complain if yu threw up Neither would 2020 worry nor ****** your snack planned for 2021 2021 is a house that will still fall if 2020 was a foundation on sand If yu wave "bye" at 2020, then yu should have solutions at hand, or 2020 wil run after yu coz debts remain debts And the deeper you went, the higher you will need to go to overcome the depth The illusion is for a fresh start A review of the past A determination to end or start a new thing Of success, a yardstick Our forefathers relied on a shadow .....many rains ago Trying to mark day, year and season This one here, an illusion

Time, An Illusion (11:59:59 & 00:00)
Thou hath sang all night And clouds paved way Under the moon's watch And stars bore witness Thine is a mass choir Alto and tenor well balanced Roofs relay your message so did each pole wire Birds cheered tremendously as leaves clapped But where is thy soprano Ye frighten lads with thy bass Its dawn, sing softly like a piano Thee hath chosen to scare old folks from their slumbers Cos, thou art too strong

Oh Winds
Love is light it empties your soul You look confident, whether fast or slow It clears your mind you feel your heartbeat It makes you be a friend indeed Hate is heavy it eats your soul You look lost, whether fast or slow It kills your mind you hear your heartbeat It makes you be a fiend indeed

Love & Hate
Once you feel the urge, heaven stands Be it a plan to pray or a plan to fast Like soldiers positioning themselves in combat All in heaven is set, prayer is merely a demonstration of faith & trust The urge to fast sets explosives on barriers and obstacles Prayer becomes the detonator blasting open all walls Emerging in silence, it shows up readying itself to burst like a bubble Each word uttered already whispered into the ear by the Holy Spirit Like a network of trails already created by preceeding elephants in a jungle Each declaration is a succeeding footstep having all trampled thorns to the ground sticking Authority was already given to those that lack or need, but want or desire Like the talents from a Master to all men but only invested by those that to greatness aspire This weapon an untouchable but intangible Yet in any season accessible and readily available

The Power of Prayer
The winds Who sends them from the heavens Him who makes them blow on seas Worship Him who orders the ravens The sun shone Who then brought the nightfall Him who thereafter makes it to dawn Worship Him who makes the rains fall The air Who provides the breath Him who gives hope in dispair Worship Him who conquered death The waters Who takes away our thirst Him whose shoulder He offers Worship Him in whom we find our rest

Worship Him
Unlike straight lines to infinity Or an endless journey to the stars Perhaps down to a bottomless pit Or visions of an endless horizon from afar Its an end to all consciousness Immediate stop to all imaginations A freeze to all breath and senses Silence to the ears, to eyes total darkness An end to all the love and fears A stop to all laughter and tears Neither smiles nor sadness Neither sanity nor madness When i imagine i reach a stop Where erased are all the memories of old Like hitting against a widest wall On whose other side exists nothing at all

End of A Life
The fights that get down The noises loud in town The fear of losing eachother Is all that makes us stick together My love, my life depends on God And the love of God is manifested in you Your beauty is like polished gold And when i was thirsty i rested in you Your kiss takes away my fears As your mellow words caress my ears My only destination is the altar Walking down the aisle is on my rota I look forward to more joy and happiness As our journey has taught us to hang on Even though we fight i will never care less You are my source of laughter, my backbone

Good Fights
There had been and in days we were in distress On a highway zigzagging steeply down into darkness Letting truth roll off your back like water Stones that make a river strong were put in order Like waters we were formless and shapeless Our presence's absence in the eyes of princes From the source of a fountain we were mixed with mud From a foetus in a womb to the world a lad Swayed back & forth from side to side Like winds with no direction forests slowed us down Excitement, a friend of death, brought forth a tide Whenever we rose up gravity pulled us down But like a hen hatches eggs, like a rose sprouts petals Like a seed germinates, or in the sand finding glittering diamonds The Most High then pulls us out of the furnace And like smelted and refined gold, we ought to dwell in His embrace

The Hand That Shapes Us
Like you do with fish in the waters from an angle From the multitudes where i can be hardly identifiable Here i stand tall like California Redwoods To the horizons carry me with you From the sounds and noise of the city My eyes move a hundred thousand times daily Mind filled with fear of the unknown and overwhelm me The contaminated air and taste of the town fail me Soar with me to the four corners of the earth Where i can look at one thing at a time with slow breath Where also held back are the four winds I wanna listen to the sound of the oceans deep Like the sunset, take me down But without leaving any trail in the clouds Then erase my path like a whirlwind sweeps the ground But promise to bring me back safe and sound

Eagle Carry Me
The fire burning in my heart No water can quench or extinquish it Am getting torn apart The anger in me who can release it The fear of losing whats mine The fear she may be taken Feeling like a coward this time Hating on a breathren Nerves have my hands shaking Wanting to awaken the menace in me My mouth wanting some shouting But i hold back my words within me Jealousy is burning in me like fire But there is no fear in love and i won't retire I will deal with this feeling until it goes away But for now not a word to her will i say
