Reconcilliation
Desire Kateyera Dec 2016
Yes I knew I was doing wrong
But her beauty drove me crazy
Not knowing that you were made
I was stupid and I Do admit

I loved the most when you told me you loved me.
But I couldnt help it 'cause she dated me
I aint lying, this is the thing
But my girl I do love ya
.

The taste of your lips is nice
Though I tasted them only twice
I wished I could do it thrice
But thrice would be multiplied

Stupidity surrounded me
That I fell in love with that Canadian girl
Complexion pleaded to me
Who she was I couldnt tell
But comparing faces , you were as hot as hell
Comparing love, yours wasn't a tell
.

I do regret why I put a ring on her finger
And if you wish, we can move on
Though I am no singer
I wanna sing a song of love  unto thy ear

I love you Lisa
I wanna give you happiness
If you allow me to

Nothing to enliven me
Desire Kateyera Nov 2016
I found myself en route from Egypt
But I found myself enmeshed
What could I do now I thought
But all I found were shreds
For seventeen years I engaged myself into a fight
And all those who saw me said I was shrewd
But I ask myself were they right?

What’s that which is enshrouded?
That is only seen by night
I need to ensconce myself, but how, Lord?

Everyday that’s coming seems to take everything
Of which it was designed to bring something
Year in year out, I'm fishing
But I find the waves disturbing
And all I get are floods of tears
Tears so hurting even to passersby
How more to my close relatives

Yes there is mist there & mist there
So it’s going to rain there?
Why not here?
Then I find myself moving there
But it ceased to rain
Nothing would enliven me
'Cause I've been weakened a million times and what could I do?

This is the truth
I will forfeit all because of these
These and other difficulties
Difficulties that are arising daily

If you had known
Desire Kateyera Sep 2016
Ma and Pa
You left me
Before I could do anything
At very young age!

When you departed
I didn’t know where you had gone
Ma started, then Pa followed
Lord!!

If only you have known
That your son is awesome
You could have been proud of me
But now I have a few individuals
Who are proud of me, a few!!

If you could have known
That I’m innovative
Pa, you could have been proud of me
Ma, you could have done something for me

Sometimes I don’t see
A reason for being here on earth
But is there something I can do?
Follow you?? But someone told me that I have a brighter future ahead
If I fail, I’m following
Guide me if you can

If you this ma and pa
You couldn’t have left me like that!

I long for ma
Desire Kateyera Sep 2016
I really don’t want
People to know
That I always long for you: mum

Long gone in 2003
A day before my fourth birthday
I long for you ma
You are the best person whom I’ve ever known
I love you
But never had showed you

I thank you for your love
That you showed me
For only a few years
I don’t blame you ma
God never gave you the chance
It’s His own wish
He wanted me to be termed” an orphan”
I’m sorry to say this

I only have three individual photos of you
And only one where you have your bro.s and sisters
But where are my siblings?
I don’t have!!
God never gave you the chance
Why you ma.? Why??

Stabbed in the heart I was
You turned a knife inside my heart
And you still do
But though dead
I love you.

Nevertheless…
Desire Kateyera Aug 2016
I used all my efforts
To get into the world
That I see some people in
The world with many
Interesting things
The world
In which people eat and celebrate
But all my efforts
Were futile
Nevertheless, I will dance to that tune

I read many books
I did study fifteen subjects
I passed my O’ level
I passed my A’ level
I got three degrees
But it’s all the same

I searched for vocations
But I found none
I used all my fortitude
And I never forfeited
But it was all in vain
Who had bewitched me?
I just ask
Nevertheless, I will be poor forever

— The End —
