Super-sister
From a Super-sister to a Super-Mom
Big Sister literally brings out the best in whatever she touches with her magic fingers, she brings out the beauty and best in me.
She could beat me hands down when it comes to Fashion.
She has a great passion for wears No wonder she could change your atmosphere and make you wear a smile🙂 in a split Second.
I incline my ears and listen as she speaks wisdom.
She's a Fighter, Light and kindness are part of her armoury.
Her strength is overwhelming.

This year
This year I fell
in love with a girl
I gave her one heart
She grabbed it,
ripped it, and made it two
I'm glad That I made it through
Maybe next time I should give my heart to not just one girl but two.
The sun is beginning to shine, My heart is beginning to bloom.
in love with a girl
I gave her one heart
She grabbed it,

I'm glad That I made it through

The sun is beginning to shine, My heart is beginning to bloom.

Both sides
I've been
on both sides
of the coin
I'm not a poet
I'm a poem
on both sides

Chris
Chris is young and handsome.
Chris is not six
Neither is he seven
He is certainly not eleven
Its cute to look at his vanished fat cheeks
While growing up Chris fell in love with sticks
He habitually played on table causing domestic noise but as time went by, our patience outgrew his nuisance at home.
Impressed with his burning passion
GrandDad bought him brand new sticks.
Chris now plays drum in church
Chris wakes up very early on sundays and he is the first to attend sunday service before everyone of us in the family

Friends
To Tread a narrow path is to turn back and realise the absence of cheerers
I feel the pain of a lone bleeding wolf
To change values is to stand and watch friends walk out of your life
I don't understand how that People are easily forgotten
Its like memories you shared with them are not preserved thereby, left rotten.
The thing that binded our union is now
but an Iron Curtain
A bitter nut to chew
I use to have multitude
Now I laugh with few
The ones we see eye to eye
have become strangers
The ones we don't see eye to eye ...
I feel the pain of a lone bleeding wolf
To change values is to stand and watch friends walk out of your life
I don't understand how that People are easily forgotten
Its like memories you shared with them are not preserved thereby, left rotten.
The thing that binded our union is now
but an Iron Curtain
A bitter nut to chew
I use to have multitude
Now I laugh with few
The ones we see eye to eye
have become strangers
The ones we don't see eye to eye ...

Vessels
Collection of pencils
Some disdained
The honorable ones
Kept in vessels.

Walk alone
A WALK
You don't have to walk alone
Everytime you pass by, the street boys stalk on you.
The other day you met your friend, she told you that boys are like predators.
When you came to me, I was like mother- chicken covering her chicks from a ravenous hawk.
When you came to me, I tried my possible best to drop down every weapon I had.
Even the ones you couldn't see, cause I knew my eye was a sniper.
So I was disarmed like Nicholas Vujicic
I knew your small world was surrounded with clouds.
So each...

Feel good.
Beautiful music playing
Sounds playing, sleeping,
deep dreaming.
The long walk in the cool
of the day,
when thoughts replay.
Early morning shower
after the gym workout
The ATM sound when
I cashout.
Being around Family and friends
laughing together, through the
storm, fire, rain, in any wheather
Early morning and evening devotion.
Completing my task
crushing my goals
Wearing on good shoes
that cover my toes.
A warm tight long hug from you
So when my energy is down
I...
Sounds playing, sleeping,

Hold me
Baby
i'll softly hold your hands
whisper my voice in your
ears
i need you to listen,
i wouldn't steal your heart,
but i will steal your
tears.
i wouldn't steal your
heart,
But i will steal your
hurt.
i'll steal your fears.
i'll softly hold your hands
whisper my voice in your
ears
i need you to listen,
i wouldn't steal your heart,
but i will steal your
tears.
i wouldn't steal your
heart,
But i will steal your
hurt.
i'll steal your fears.

white
His dark brown skin
betrayed him
it was too late to cry
we drank the spring
of coconut milk
for his white soul
couldn't vindicate him.

My lover
Remember my lover
I'm still a wounded soldier
So it's best you stay afar
Don't come closer to a
Wounded soldier
Are you here to bind
My wounds?
I'm still a wounded soldier
So it's best you stay afar
Don't come closer to a
Wounded soldier
Are you here to bind
