MAKE ME BETTER


I saw you smiling from a distance in the middle of a roaring crowd 
I thought your smile would make me shine brighter
I saw you another time working hard in your kibanda
I thought your strong arms would would help hold our home
I saw you talking at our village baraza
How such wisdom flowed from your mouth
How you inspired me to love you
How you made me follow you in broad ways
How you made me look for you even in dark alleys
Where you would not be found
Till I finally found you
As beautiful as ever
So full of wisdom yet so funny
I remember when you said yes and smiled
Golden sparks glittered out of your eyes
How you made me
A man at thirty
Feel like he was thirteen
I remember how you said
"Yes I will marry you."
I remember it all
And now before this congregation
After we have said the I dos
Promise to make me better
For I promise nothing less

ALL LIFE TIMES

A million words would not sound you out You inspire this feeling that makes me want to shout Priceless I choose to write Sound my heart unequivocally a cross life and time That it may never be forgotten that I loved And deeply so How I chanced upon you I can't tell But it must have been written in the stars That you will be the healer of my scars That love I will find on a mountain so high That flying would never be easy But splendor that is to die for This is a little loco Somehow it feels like I need your permission to breathe You leave me breathless in a nice way But this breathless is terrifying when you are away Delicate noble one you smashed me, a monster who would not break In the heat of everythig and in the rain of love A zillion flames would not melt me What is hotter than your presence and cuteness What is colder than your absence and silence How would my heart not crack in such a switch What would forge me back if not the enchanting flames of your love  In all worlds I

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.

I WILL UNDERSTAND

I have been through a lot untold Life's heat and cold I have made it to this old From whence I stand So I understand That it is not the making of any hand That you do not and may never understand  me. As much as l look, you I  do not and may never see Like the depth of the sea Blue and blinding deep We remain mysterious like sleep I understand if you never understand Even if the waters wash the story I keep writing to you on time's sand Circumlocuting  in a million ways Verbal monotony becoming the songs of my days I still will understand if you never understand
