I saw you in the dungeon.
Yes, in the  dark dark dungeon.
Where my hopes and dreams shattered.
I saw you, the light that flickered afar.
Right then, at the very moment.
I knew , I  knew I Was gonna be fine.

I saw you in  the tunnel,
Yes in  the endless dark tunnel.
Where devoured by nightmare and fears
I saw you, stretching your arms to me.
Just then, at the warmth of your hug.
I knew, I Knew that it wasn't the end .

I saw you the storm,
Yes, inside the violent thunder and storm.
Where faced by shadow of death.
I saw you, offering your wings as shelter.
No  matter the darkness of pit
nor the strength of the storm.
I know, I'll see the light of day.
Those eyes,
Those piercing eyes that glared at me,
Despite all the trying, erasing that  look is impossible
Yes that look,
That look that shutters my heart.
The look that always  shouts of my unfairness.
I know, i know you deserve better...
No, i know you derserve better than best.
Cause of the way you've always given your all.
But what do i offer??
Disappointments and more heaps of  disappointments.
I know you're are hurting,
Maybe, just maybe im your worst nightmare..
I always wish i could do better.
Maybe then i could escape from this pain.
Can i? Can i ever fly like you.
I think im an eagle in a chicken's body.
Or maybe im a caterpillar soon  to be a butterfly.
But those eyes,
Those disappointed eyes are gonna be the death of me.
What shall I compare you with,
Shall I compare thee to the moon,
Wait, the moon often disappoints.
Yet you, you have the kindest of hearts.
Though born in the shortest month,
Your hearts are the most beautiful.

What shall I compare thee with,
Shall I compare thee to a cool breeze?
Wait, a breeze may turn to a hurricane.
Yet you, always caring and ready to help.
Though born in the shortest of months,
Your hearts are the most beautiful.

So as you clock an year older,
May your days be filled with joy,
And all your prayers be answered.
Happy birthday Mulei, James, Morris, Githinji and Judy.
Though born in the shortest of months ,
Your hearts are the most beautiful.
Evans, a beautiful soul you are.
Meeting you, was such a blessing.
And cause goodbye i can never say,
Then see you later allow me to say,

Evans, a rare gem you are.
My request to you, keep on shining.
For this is your season,its your set time.
Greatness and victory awaits you.
For beyond the clouds, you can fly.

Evans, alot is in store for you,
Alot for you to spread your wings.
sow higher, higher above the storms.

Evans, cause goodbye i can never say,
Allow me to say, see you later.

He was here,
Yes he was.
His posture,I vividly recall,
How he walked, how he sat.
I've always wanted to talk,
And now he's gone.

He was here,
Yes he was.
His aura, I still recall.
How he smilled, how he talked.
I always wanted to be friends,
But now he's gone.

He was here,
But now he's not.
Always wanted to be him ,if not with him.
Can I say hello sometimes.
Hope that privilege is not gone.

He is not here, but I still smell him

I liked listening to the birds,
I wondered if they were always
singing, or its just how they talk!
Do they ever quarrel??

I liked watching the stars,
I wondered if they were always dancing, or its just how they sit!
Do they ever get tired?

I liked alot of things baby Nyoks,
I wondered this, i wondered that,
But now all i wonder is why baby!
why Is your heartbeat the best tune have ever listened .

A grave mistake i finally made,
A sin i should have avoided,
Vivid were all the signs,
but i still ignored all the red flags.

A grave mistake has caught me up,
the result of  ignoring all the warnings.
with the line crossed and bridge burned,
how long will i face the music?

when will it be enough?
could tears wash me clean?
i wish rain could  flood away my sins.
but i'll have to lay on the bed that i prepared.
its life anyway
