You Are My Flower

You are my flower
The flower from the island
You make me happy when am sad
You make me laugh when am lonely

When I need company there you are
There you are when I need a friend
Indeed you are my flower

Without a word-without a gesture
You are my flower
You are my flower
You are appreciable and understandable

You are my flower
You are a tree with large pale-pink flower
You are a bird rather like a swallow

You are my flower
Indeed you are my flower
You are my flower.

Loving You

Loving you brought the best in me
Loving you took out the lost soul that was within
Oh your smile brought the interception of my believe and true reflection of a woman
Loving you made my guiltiness of confusion to be the innocence of the future

Loving you is happiness and laughter
Oh love, my loving solution to brightness morning
That turn to a good day filled with love and honesty
Loving you, yes loving you

It made my life free like a free way of challenges that turn to better outcome
Loving you make me free my mind-set of emotional success
Loving you make me meet loving circumstances that turn to visions of true dreams
I overcome obstacles easily just by loving you

Loving you give me hope of trusting again
Loving you give me peace like summer rain
Oh yes loving you

Loving you is like music on top of the pops
Loving you, oh loving you
Loving you, loving you

Who Am I

I am beautiful, intelligent but yet I feel lonely
I motivate myself yet am not a woman enough
By thoughts, imagination I am a woman
But nature disagree with me, who am I?

Oh nature have mercy on me
Make me real and proud to be a woman
A true reflection of neighbourhood, hope, care and love
A key of family but who am I?

Why does it feel bad, embarrassing?
But hope move through my heart
And you mind, give me sad and insecure thoughts of giving up
But land of homeless, motherless and fearless applaud me

For ubuntu the spirit of survival, but who am I?
Without one cry in my arms to show and give hope, life and emotion
Who am I? Who am I?
I am a woman, a community, a pillar and unity
A smile yet heavy inside but strong and brave

Who am I? Who am I?
W- Wonderful
O-Over protective
M-Mother
A-Active
N-Never give up
I am a woman, love and laughter
I am perseverance, I am a woman

Reflection of a True Man

A man is a feeling of wanting to go home to
A real reflection of neighbour wood by actions
A free spirit to share life and never be afraid around 
A way of putting a smile and laughter
A reflection that make day and night bright like stars

An adviser, a feeling that can feel every pain you go through
And that’s a true reflection of a man
A family strength, pillar, love, father and a husband with no doubts of wondering
A deep down touching feeling of light
A reflector that modify humanity and woman

Courage, listener and not easily angered and that’s a true reflection of a man
A way of knowing when it’s wrong and apologise
A way of making a woman feel appreciated and never look back to yesterday
An uplifting spirit that turn the mood to happiness

With warm open arms
A better outcome fighter of the future
That’s a true reflection of a true man
Reflection of a true man

Day and Night

Day and night the smell of  hope
Day the free walking spirit yet night the sad incentive secret of sleeping
Night the wondering of evil yet smile because the moon is bright 
The reflector of day yet night in it

Night the thought of sleepless thoughts
And day the massive courage of light, love and encouragement; spirit
Day the spring of smelling freshness and life
Than night the resting peace but though the mind is troubled by darkness
The ending of everything

Day and night the mother of light and darkness; with pushing and believing in tomorrow
The start of life and smiling for a better outcome
Day and night; day and night
The challenging mind, walking and moving journey
The sad embarrassing and stumbling operation of true feeling of life
And yet night the lifting of thoughts
Day and night 

Day and night; day and night
The light and darkness free spirit yet so sleepless; encouragement
Of hope, faith, laughter and survival in it; day and night
Day and night

I Was Born But Why

I was born but why
I was born to smile not to suffer
I was born to face challenges but am struggling
I was born to smile, be happy and be loved

But am hustling, hustling to survive
I was born to bring joy, love and hope
That’s why mother carried me for nine months; but why

To be a disgrace? Or was it to unite?
Was i born out of pity, bitterness and shame?
Just like the world with so many reasons 
To be in and out of it

No i was born for a purpose and humanity
I was born to comfort-love and be loved
Cherish and become a better person

I was born and that’s why i was born
I was born ,i was born

Man

Man 

A word so small but huge with emotions, stress but you have to tag along
So creative yet so blind
So loving yet so abusive
So manipulative, lying and cheating in a sensible way yet so emotional

Man, a family, love, respect yet so arrogant
An ear, shoulder to lean on and encouraging
But a killer in a leopard skin
Man, very smooth talking creature 

A smile that turn to sorrows and pain
Oh man the creator of a woman through bone yet so conniving like an on-going headache
A comfort, protector and a free ride yet park station in terms of feelings, care and emotions
Confusion, misinterpretation, Father, uncle, husband yet a rapist

Man, oh man
A fighter, a role model yet cruel
An adviser, a friend yet so jealous in a mannerly way
A hell sender like terminal disease
Man yes man, man oh man

I Am What I Am

I am a poet that connect with nature through writing
I am a voice through poetic sprit that reach broken spirits 
I am what I am
I am the liberation poetic fighter that shake soul and emotions

I am what I am, I am a poet
I climb mountains to reach nations that can’t reach national freedom
I am a sophisticated poet with dreams and visions to accomplish missions
I am what I am

When I recite I touch clouds through spirits that tells me to do more
I embrace, I encourage and I heal through poetry for it touches my soul to other souls
When the wind blows my brain is full of words that explain and express the purpose of writing what I am
I am what I am, I am a poet


I am a voice to the voiceless
I am a comforter, a smile keeper for poetry speak to the lonely souls
I am what I am, I am a poet
I change negative mindset, I give power to the powerless
I am what I am
