GRASPING NEW By Shantal Kisimba

Dancing to my usual tune of daily chapters
The melody was marvelous
Overtime I realized it was angraved in my skin 
I was so immersed in my daily life that l had this natural glow, happy times 
I had no room to think about "suddenly"
But one day it knocked in front of my door, uninvited 
I opened up, it was there 
Standing before my eyes
My usual tune faded bit by bit 
The only thing that was left was dancing to a new tune
New chapters flipped before my eyes
Sooner or later I had to come to terms 
Hoping that these new chapters had hidden treasure in them
Took a leap of faith and carried on with my life as my entire framework struggled to adjust every step of the way

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.
