To Desire or not to

Image
To desire or not to... To desire is to have you wrapped in the solace of bonds Where life demands tangibility In every single breath we share To desire is to have your eyes light up the broken lamps in the dejected corners of my house Your celestial touch that feels like the scent of morning dew To desire is to feel the blood That fills your delicate hands And to borrow warmth, for once From your everglowing semblance To know you like no one does To know your voice like a dearly etched memory The fragrance that bloom the flowers early Beauty that flutters life into shallow spirits But it would be apt not to yearn Since you're no longer the symphony on the beats of which my heart wiggles You're no longer the north star of my life I couldn't bear the truth I couldn't endure the speculum that you gored into my eyes The weight of the destiny burns heavy into my soul I couldn't confront the barbed wo...

I Want to Commit Suicide

Image
“I want to commit suicide. I just want to die and leave this life of mine. I’m done with life’s problems and its troubles. I’m tired of being the one to take blames for others. I’m tired of always being the last one in most things. Always being viewed as the failure among my peers. My parents always seeing me as a mistake they brought to this life. Always turning out to be the odd one out in large crowds and family gatherings.” These were the words from Jane’s mouth. She seemed so worried. Like a person who was saying her last words. With a down face she stared at us.                                                           ******************** Jane had called me earlier during the day and she wanted us to meet. She sounded a little bit off. Like something was bothering her. It was really unusual for her to sound this way, considerin...

Pray to Him

Image
I wake up to new day, But under the same sun, Living under His way, cause I'm His son, And at night before I lay, With everything that I've done, I fold my hands and pray, So that my troubles can run, And with every word that I say, Its cause I believe He is the One, To make my problems go away, and my discouragements He will burn... AMEN It wouldn't hurt to share...

Talk of Irony

Image
To begin with, this is not my writing. I shared it cause some of the things are she talks about happen everyday in our daily basis. You can check the writers work by visiting the link  http://brendamwongera.blogspot.co.ke/?m=1  and you can view it all. No editing was done, pasted as copied. It's on a cold Saturday afternoon. People are covered in heavy jackets, hoodies, trenchcoats, warm caps, scarfs... name them. Meanwhile, am seated on the last row near a corner in java house, Sarit center mall, enjoying my hot coffee.Trust me, it's frezzing cold. My coffee is almost halfway and am expecting by the time it finishes, it will have warmed me up. Suddenly, a tall lady walks in. She's rocked in pink heels and a blue cotton dress. There's something about her that attracts the attention. It's not about her dressing nor her height. It's not her beauty either................ It's her behind. Damn! She's so blessed, talk of Kim Kardashian. Her waist is s...

Happy Birthday Lilian

Image
To the one who is considered calm, But not of the french "calme', To the one considered to be kind, May it forever, to you, be a bind, You should know she is down to earth, While some of us to it is more like a firth, And to others its a dearth, She chose to live for today, For the fears of tomorrow are kicked away, One thing I'm sure I'm not wrong, She is one lady who is strong, Nothing will bring her down, not even a sorcerer, Cause she one lady who is a conqueror, Be a star in your own movie, And make it more of groovy, To your goals and achievements, be a chilian, And to you, Happy Birthday Lilian...

Rain, A Little Break Please

Image
We complained of the hot weather and now the rains are here. It’s already clear we are in the rainy season. Cold mornings getting chilly almost half day. Everyone walking with heavy clothes. With umbrellas on their heads. But no matter how we love something it always got its merits and demerits. While farmers are enjoying the rain due to their crops in the country side, some of the people in the city just hate it when it rains. The rain comes with specific behaviours with us that to some extent some are so irritating. Firstly, I don’t know why conductors think when it rains people get richer. Fare always hikes up almost by double, and at other places by triple. The other day a bus that routes to Rongai came and stopped just next to where I was standing. It was raining very heavily, cats and dogs (I don’t understand how dogs and cats are related to rain at all, who even thought of dogs and cats on a rainy day. Unless he lived in a kennel). It was to my shock when he said Ksh.250 a...

Work on Your Dream

Image
When you hold your dream and work forever,  you must have felt the pain increase, If it didn't ache your heart and your soul, you may not grow everyday by an inch, You have placed your effort in the right square, Though your aims were not achieved, But don't feel dissapointed by yourself, As you may not know what is coming, You have written your name on every single aim, And broken every single sweat to attain your break, like everybody had claim, But keep trying and trying and don't blame You may not know what is coming and what makes your fame, People here to criticize you in everyway, So keep faith in everyday Try to ignore your negative core, Place your effort in every best shot,  That shot lead you to another door, And when you see what you believe, Your heart rate increase cause when you hold your dreams and work forever, you must have felt the pain increase...

Seek the Lord

Image
Do you ever wake up one morning and you feel like something is wrong? Knowing the reason why, kills what you think, it creates more fear, it gets you feeling afraid? Your heart beating at a higher rate, but you still want to work on it. But what we forget is asking God for help. We are quick to act not knowing what the results will be. Most are the times we act on things on our own. Most are the times we want something and end up getting mad when we lack. Life is full of challenges and problems. There are things we would love to have but we don’t know how to get them. But only God who can give and solve our problems. Matthew 6;33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. God always provides. No matter how long it takes, He knows the reason why He provided at the time you receive. We should not question His timings for He only knows the reason why. Even when you lack, He knows why you never received it. Acts 1:7 He said to them...

I'm Heavier than I Look, Sometimes

Image
I was awakened from my deep slumber by a text message. I thought it was my service provider reminding me again how broke I am. But this time it was a different case. I had received some funds in my mobile from unknown source. At first I thought it was a prank from those silly people who try and deceive people of sending money wrongly. So I decided to recharge my credit to affirm whether it was true. 20.00 KSH has been deducted to repay yo… I didn’t bother myself to finish the text. I already got my affirmation and my day dreams were far gone. It was now time to build castles in the air on what to do with it. Before I could decide on what to buy, I put my sandals on and ran to the nearest M-pesa. I withdrew the money fast enough just incase the owner decided to call and ask for his/her money back. As soon as I was handed the money, I switched off my phone. “I want no disturbance today” I said to myself. I had not taken breakfast that morning. So I passed by my usual restaurant and...

Fear Motivates Me

Image
I fear I might not succeed, and live the life I didn't expect, I fear I might say the wrong words, And people will react in a different way, I fear I might do something wrong, and it will come to haunt me in the future, I fear living a very comfortable life, and end up forgetting the less fortunate, I fear staying quiet too much, and end up failing those who wanted a word, I fear jumping fast into conclusions, instead of being patient and waiting, I fear making the wrong decision, that would mess up everything, I fear joking around on serious matters, Instead of being serious, I fear saying something serious, and people take it as a joke, I fear not keeping my promises, and end up dissapointing the ones I promised, I fear hurting for the ones I care for, because at the end I'm the one to loose, My fears will always motivate me, so I get to live the life I want, Lord,, help me make the right decision, So I can kill all the fears in me, It wouldn...

Put Yourself in my Shoes

Image
Who I’m I? My name is Paul. I was born in the rural areas. My parents were not the “well abled” people. We lived in a single room built of iron sheets. I was raised with the mud toys. Never got a thing that I could claim I was bought for. We lived as a poor family. My dad left us while i was still a kid. My mum was a housewife. But after my dad left, she was left to look for a way to get our daily bread. Life was never even close to easy. She moved from one house to another. I started school at the age of ten. My mum had no money at first, so I couldn’t start school at the right age. I wasn’t good with studies, so I kept on pulling the class back. Two years later I dropped out. My mum couldn’t pay my fees anymore. Finding a job was a hard thing for her. She later got ill. She couldn’t get out of the house. She got skinny with each day. There was no money to take her to hospital. No one could employ me. No one wanted to be charged with child labour. My uncles never wanted to do w...

Do You Remember?

Image
Was it you last, or first, Did I take it slow or fast, Was it in the morning, Or at night when you were snoring, Was it one that was enjoyable, Or one of those that are avoidable, Was it one that you want to go back, No matter the time it is, even in the dark, Was it outside or was it at home, Two people or were you alone, Do you still have a clue in your head, As you lay down on your bed, Was it one that was rare, Do you consider it to be fair, On that night of mid October, And the outside was cold, "Hold me", I was told, When my stolen heart was opened, I really don,t want it to be my last moment, It wouldn't hurt to share

50 Shades of Mathree

Image
 I’m sitted at the back seat, as usual, in this mathree. By the music that its playing, one can definitely take a wild guess where it is heading. The driver decides to tune up the volume. I guess it’s his favourite song that has just started playing. My eyes can’t be jailed in one direction of vision, so they choose to jump from one site to another. The first thing I notice is the stubborn kid who keeps on crying every now and then. The mother looks tired of its behaviours. Was I this stubborn? Did I keep on crying every now and then when nothing went my way? Or something I wanted wasn’t delivered to me? Then again, you are not the right person to ask these questions. The mother keeps on shouting at it everytime. By the way it looks, and its behaviours, it wouldn’t be a surprise if one of the famous loud politician is a relative to it. The cries keep on getting louder by the minute. Come to think about it, maybe this is another reason why the driver tuned up the volume. The ...

I Don't Bite

Image
You crave to have me, Charging love as the only fee, Living a life of fantasy, Wishing it would turn to reality, My name you gave to your doll, Pretending to make a night call, Your mind a little hazy, Acting a little more crazy, The way you look in the mirror, Dreaming of me being your loneliness healer, You close your eyes, And for a moment reality dies, Imagining me being there, To take you everywhere, Holding hands before your friends, And as we leave they turn heads, You chase me in your mind, In your thoughts I’m never left behind, Don’t torture yourself, Cause I don’t want to be a skelf, In bed you move in swirls, Wondering whether I’m into good or bad girls, While I’m all oblivious, And you take everything serious, Your stomach is full of butterflies, And your feelings full of cries, When I walk in with the guys, Your mood shoots to the skies, Talking to me is your appetite, So next time I’m in your sight...

Dear Future Life,

Image
Dear Future Wife, I don’t know whether I have met you or not. If I have not yet, I guess my heart is about to be broken one or more times. If I have met you and not yet realized it, then my imperfections are still imperfect. I think I should work on both ideas. I don’t know what life I hold for you. I don’t know what the future has for us, but I will accept all the surprises that come with it. I have decided to take cooking lessons during the holiday, for the meals I can’t cook. Just incase you are late for work, me and the children won’t starve to death. I’ve learned to live life and expect the unexpected, so whatever comes, I pray I’ll be able to be there for you all through. Taking you to places when need be and buying you gifts. Dear Future Children, Can’t wait for you to land. I don’t care whether you will be a boy, a girl or twins of same gender or different gender, I’ll still be your father. At first I promise to be the father of your dreams (if there is such a th...

You Broke My Heart

Image
I took you for many dates, Even brought you cakes, I bought you more flowers, We had a thing called ours, I was to go on my knee, And ask you to marry me, But you really broke my heart, And you left me to hurt, Every night I was a naughty boy, You used me as a sex toy, With increased heartbeats, Under the bedsheets, Now I feel used, My feelings misused, But you really broke my heart, And you left me to hurt, I thought it was mythical, But now I need a miracle, I can no longer go out, Living a life of doubt, I can never stay, I guess I took the wrong way, You really broke my heart, And you left me to hurt, It wouldn't hurt to share...

Do You Trust All Your Friends?

Image
How many of your friends will parade with you when shit gets real? There are some people who at some point of your life will become your friends, and some friends, who at some point, will become just people. Being too nice is a crime these days. Fake friends are everywhere around you. They will use you and when you are of no use, they throw you away like a candy wrapper. Not everyone you relate to is a friend. Not everyone you share with is worth dying for. There are those who are first to gossip the bad things about you. And yet they say they stand with you all the way. People who their interest comes first before others. I hate the fact that some people get judged for being real while some are getting loved for being fake. Why do you have to be in my life if you going to act like a shadow? Only there when my moments are bright, but nowhere to be seen at my darkest hour. I see no difference between you and a parasite. Only dependent on me when I have but never there when I don’t ...

A Beast for A Bedmate

Image
Did I make the wrong choice? Or is it that you lured me? Yes.....I conquer love is blind But how does it bind? Please I need a rewind For I can't take pain as a reward You promised a bed of roses But left me laying in a pool of blood I feel like rolling in mad Maybe to replace my bruised skin Please I need a rewind I hope I'll be patient and keen When we met you looked harmless But now,you've left me armless I thought God is the sole creator Mine was just to procreate But now I have pain to celebrate Yes I can forgive but you left me with scars And surely can I forget? But worst of all you stand arrogant Making me bitter is that the law is also ignorant Am battered bruised and butchered Please I need a rewind Maybe this time I'd go for celibacy Sobs! Sobs! Sobs! Sobs! Why should a marriage make me feel robbed? ................. ........ ........... ....... Son Of A Poet .................. ........... ..........  ..... Jesse Jackson ...

I Have a Crush on A Friend

Image
Have you ever been so wildly attracted to someone you can actually feel it driving you insane? Have you ever been scared to open a text? Your heart races, your stomach feels empty? Personally I couldn’t hide this anymore. I know by now what you are thinking. That one person who causes your heart to skip a beat just by seeing her. Don’t worry, I feel you. I have a friend who causes me to smile, glow, joy, crave, go blank, feel, tense, make my heart skip a beat, not once, but twice. I’m going through that currently. I still get butterflies even though I’ve seen her for a hundred times. She is the kind of friend I’m scared to lose. She is the secret I can’t hide. I feel deprived of oxygen when I spend days without hearing from her. You should see her. You know that smile you get when that one person you’ve been wanting to talk to finally texts you? It surely happens to me everytime I hear that text tone on my phone and find out it’s her. She causes me to go from crazy to crazier. I...

Happy Birthday Mary

Image
Here is to the lady who won’t settle for less, Prayerful, to ask God for a bless, One who won’t remain on the ground, Full of success with no bounds, She keeps her head high, But her standards higher, She is not sassy, but more of classy, A lady of great substance, Full of joy in abundance, Sorry ma’am, I am no wish thug, For now, let my words give the hug, Happy birthday miss, And have a sincere bliss, It wouldn't hurt to share...

Nobody Ever Realizes How Tough and Expensive it is to be Skinny

Image
This is not my writing to begin with. I shared it cause some of the problems he is facing I face them almost everyday. I guess we are many in this category. But all in all, this is all true. You can check the writers work by visiting the link  https://captionempire.wordpress.com/author/captionempire/  and you can view it all. No editing was done, pasted as copied. People won’t realize how tough it is to be skinny, when you need to fight unnecessary battles everyday, as soon as you feel a threat. It’s likely a skinny person will crash you with his mouth than his body, just like short guys. At times they are the loudest, the most bold (like Kelvin Hart in Central Intelligence), if you get into their thoughts you’ll realize they feel ‘heavy’ more than they weigh. You remember the 80’s and early 90’s (when people mostly guys would walk like they have leg disorders or they have one shorter leg than the other) ‘bouncing’. Yeah you might still find skinny people having tha...

Lucy

Image
First day i saw her, My vision went into blur, She was in a dress, And my words were less, A lady with  elegance, And with zero arrogance, She took the darkness away, and my night turned into day, You should see her smile, And the way she matches her style, A true definition of a lady, If she calls, I swear I'll be ready, I promise to be friendly even in ninety, Sitting in a hotel drinking some fine tea, Just sit, relax, look and see, I'll still be there Lucy, It wouldn't hurt to share...

How I Met Jane

Image
She was sitted the row opposite me. I noticed her after the bride and groom passed next to her after exchanging their vows. A lady with a white dress decorated with red and blue flowers all over. She caught my eye. A lady with class, dressed like a model, a face which the sun caused the sparkle on it, a natural dark skin and a cleavage which could cause the groom to think twice, African beauty. She almost kicked the bride out of position one in beauty contest by a landslide on that day. The susceptibility of me liking her was higher than the Eiffel Tower. My freight was how to start a conversation. I don’t want to go to her and start stammering. I was gathering my courage and braveness. Me; Hae, my name is Bond, James Bond. Technically I didn’t say that because I was still sitted in my sit like a dog with its tail between its legs. But how cool would that sound if that was my name and I said it to her. I once tried saying my name that way. Trust me, if your name is long, that ...

I Admit I'm Jealous

Image
The other day I passed by, but i never said hae, in his hands you lay, it is a habit of everyday, you don't know how much it hurts, painful than a knife cuts, I feel like it’s a stigma, Painful than burn of a magma, at least I tried writing you a letter, well I thought I’d make it better, I want what you offer, our life book let me be the author, all I want is you, what more can I do, what more can I say, don’t go, please stay, in his arms, you he holds, okay, truth be told, without you my life is cold, I'm at no peace, my heart has a broken piece, this is not the daily heart errors, it's just that I'm jealous, It wouldn't hurt to share...
