POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
22 Y.o Malawian poet.
TEACH ME YOU
Just like the sun rises and sets, I shall seek and find.
Petals unfurl slow and wide; if I find you, I will hold and never let go.
I will nurture you just like a farmer is gentle with his garden.
And do only what's right to make you think I am divine.
Teach me you, what's the routine to your glow?
I am here standing longing to know the formulae that has all of us falling so slow.
Can I be your guide?
Teach me about your landscapes inside then.
So that I can feel the portholes and have a smooth run,
How about the topography of your...

A BORN AGAIN
I was a clumsy boy with no balance
No one ever tried to teach me grace, not even myself.
I tried to runaway but the load was too weighty on my soul,
Sins, i carried them to where i dwelled, Golgotha.
Can i give it up all? A question that had death as an answer.
I called names and shouted rage
Nothing nice came out of me as i feared people, not you Lord
I laid my hope on a deity that could perish of old age.
I sinned, actions so akin to pleasure .
I had questions, i needed wisdom
Why does salvation sound like starvation?
The...

I WAS...
I was just a kid when he tore my crotchless lingerie
I was just a toddler when i felt it all,
the squeezing with no easing
The teasing with no resting.
I was 13 when he oozed it on me,
This man is a sialorrheal one
I did not feel it rather begged it,
He forcibly did it.
This monster opened my curtain at 13
He got me used, he is all i want now
If not him then not my agemates, bring his.
I am not young, this man rapes me.

SERENADE
They say Lemons make lemonades
Bees toil and their tales make a liquid gold.
Just like Butterflies paints the sky with fugacious beauties,
This night as stars glint up high.
Me, Your artist will sing you a serenade.
Let your curved tiny seashell that catch whispers of secrets;
Find notes of rhythms in my serenade
Hear the chorus containing melodies in this serenade.
Melodies that will soothe your curvey and inviting body so delicate.

Melodies that will soothe your curvey and inviting body so delicate.

HEY
Hey,
Life comes in phases, and to me, this phase is exactly what I've been yearning for. Let's not rush to the next but embrace this moment fully. In mere seconds, I sensed a connection with you, yet my ancestors whisper that you've always been here, perhaps I just hadn't realized it. The chemistry between us is everything I've ever longed for. You make my perfections dominant and my flaws recessive, and being with you is a fascination I wish to cherish forever.
Hey
It's not material wealth I seek, but the peace that suffocates me every time you reach out to me. You are...

THE ONE
The one
She ought to nurture
This body of mine subjected to God as his temple,
For he dwells in me.
The Dora in her is an adorer
Not an explorer, for she is done searching.
My devotee, she trust in me.
These places we opted to walk while holding hands are never godforsaken.
Eyebrows so curvy, put your head on my chest, my lady
Feel my heartbeat and prove me right when I say; it beats for you.
Your being is so earthly but this love you give is heaven's
Let me bring goosebumps with my soothing hands to that
Skin dyed brown but still...

ARREST ME
Arrest Me
I do solemnly and sincerely swear that the evidence I shall give
Shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...
Firstly allow me to say “i love you” to this vanilla taste-like creature with a soft chocolate skin standing here.
Tit for tat, what’s mine be mine, i want to make a plea;
Your honor, Mr Cupid I am pleading not guilty.
Yes of-course there is no ring or even a print on her finger,
For i never get a chance to insert it.
But our secret matrimony be my general verdict.
Fury not but we do not need a jury, ...

TO YOU
Look at the two birds in the sky.
Making merry and hovering around.
They fly high and gravity obeys,
Along, they sing a song that is melodic
As they celebrate their love so evergreen.
Today i want your bunny ears to listen
This hour i want your monolid eyes to see
This intangible thing we call feelings.
This inevitable thing we call love.
It is your look that fascinates my eyes
It is your love that captivates me, Mr shy.
All summers never brought me a flower
Beautiful as you are
So Mr right says you are a rare gem.
You have...

TO MY GIRLFRIEND ll
Words do fall short when I am trying to express my feelings in this written language. But anyway come to Daddy and listen to all his confessions. From the very first moment we crossed paths, I felt a connection that surpassed the ordinary; It was magical how our souls entwined, like strings on a musical instrument we aligned. they say real recognize real; it was my soul that run to yours on that day, i recooo...

TO MY GIRLFRIEND
Happiness is when i look at you
Every moment we had is a wow;
What a dream come true.
I eye nothing but possibilities,
When i am sitting next to you.
Paradise is every place i went with you.
You stamped down my insecurities
When you said it was only me in your world.
Your lips are the flavors i want to taste
not only for a minute but lifetime.
You’ve made me see these colors i never caught a glimpse of
My world is beautiful when i look at the galaxy you’ve brought.
Curve your lips and mesmerize my feelings
As you entrust me with...

FOUND MISSING
Every unbreakable bond broken,
Every cherished memory destroyed,
Every stolen glance and whispered word,
Has become a treasure i hold close to my chest.
Each day feels like yesterday when i had you,
I keep searching for the missing piece of my soul that only you can complete.
The world around me seems colourless, devoid of meaning,
as I navigate through the days with an ache
that only your presence can alleviate.
You are not here with me
But i will hold onto the memories we have created,
the laughter and tears that have woven the...
