HOSPITALISED IN CHINA

Dad Kenya is sick, hospitalised in china

Strangely she is walking and strong in her palliative ward

Medically she is on her death bed

Miasma of strange diseases

Everyone is wondering how she is up

I think she is just a strong woman

She doesn’t want to let her children down

Some of who would not care

Those who would wait for her death and celebrate spoils of failure

Before they too die like worms in a host they have killed

Many doctors have given their expert opinion on her state of health

They say that in her current progression she will not last long

She may die in China

Getting her back home will cost her children the last coin

Dad I see her children

Suffering from hunger and biting pain of drought

But if they were taken to the skies

Their tears would drown the earth and their wail would make thunders shy

Dad, Kenya is sick

Her children have writing her eulogy

Chinese papers have started taking tenders for her obituary

Even on credit they would do it

It does not matter, as long as her children will be able to pay some time in the future

Dad

I don’t know if Kenya will survive

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
