THE DISAPPEARING ACT
Been a while since you left for Dubai
You said to me, ‘it’s not that mbali’
You would soon be right back
And my bags I could start to pack
Swing low, Sweet Cheruiyot!

I gave to you all my savings
Had to ignore all my pals ravings
You were...

Disappearance 
Like delicate snow that melts 
in the midst of our breathe 
Can you feel the heat of what we say
taste sexual precipitation
When our tongues drag across 
sensuous excavations 
delivering a pause
where we examine protrusions 
Practicing a more deliberate 
artifact extraction.
A woman's golden place.
Let me taste your snow,
as you melt away,...

as the moon begins its disappearance
leaving silver caps atop the waves
soon becoming an illuminated path
i am denied to journey upon
knowing it is rising for you
i am held captive in the sorrow
that life has left us
more than an enchanting moon
more than a captivating gaze
more than an...

The muse has disappeared 
My eyes are heavy with tears
Writing seems to have vanished away
It has left me so I deeply fear

Stress has entered my humble home
It has left me feeling robbed and alone
Will the quiet and peace come back?
Or will my spirit just be...

I know I should not whine or frivolously fret, 
but I believe I have lost my pet marmoset.
I have also lost a blue barrette, a red tea set, 
and a beautifully carved purple aigrette.
They all went down in the drain, 
putting me in a particularly...

i fell out of bed
into rosy dawn sunshine
gerber daisy world

birdsongs in my ears
i had woken up dreaming
on summertime street

from the house i walked
into deep color and sound
nowhere to be found...

A hen lays her eggs,
Planning to have many chicks;
Surprise, empty nest!

My known, soothing landscapes,
grown from my own hues and shapes,
somehow vanquished their view.
Just one more sore blister of news
to aid my staid mind’s gist of confused.
My angered fist punched tears in their wake
before my shock shakily jot them on a list
of all my fear sought...

Malicious brigand of thought
Shadow dancing about
Times dark mastermind
Of sand felled memory
No deliberation granted
On the adequacy of crime
Here the confidence breaks
The vibrant glow dulls
This slow compiling of theft
His character torn away
The sum of his being lessened
Accomplishments sponged away
Slowly losing earned identity
Burning one chapter every day
A life...

D- Do you know where he/she is?
I- I cannot find him/her?
S- Shouldn't I have been with him/her, then none of this wouldn't have happened?
A- All I can say is, "Look what I've done!"
P- Please don't let them disappear like that!
P- Please don't...
E- Every single person...

Serious times have overtaken our world,
The dramas  continue to unfurl.
Leaders are getting assasinated
by those who swore to protect,
A disappearance of reverence has 
commenced upon our land,
calling for reign with iron hands,
The hemisphere is out of control,
Satan has taken hold of significant 
souls,
Soon, there will...

Into the woods the three did wander
Graceful teenage girls carefree
I had great cause to ponder
Surely someone held the key
When they were never seen again
Suspecting things grimly gone awry
What evils lurks what evil men
Might dare beneath God’s watchful eye

I was an unfathomable mystery writer, producing novels for ardent readers,
Much like a mystery of vanishing pearly moon, as sun comes up to greet her.

My days were spent devising fresh plots, like edgy seas, seeking new shores,
Roving half of the scented world for another, as...
