Endless and obscure
the labyrinth of existence is,
when the conflict with self-truth
drags on and on.
Dispiriting is knowing
not even a sketch was life,
before All emerged from the oceans
of uncreated light.

when I lie down, please don’t be
moaning, blaming, regretting,
imprisoning me in bricks,
dispiriting my last party
an event of the century
wear pink and you’re invited
free flow whiskey, intense weed
my favorite punk-pop indie
performing songs you relish
I'm lying down, set me free
let the flames unchain my leash
erase the shame caused by me
burn our pain and grant our wishes
count to three announce proudly
disappointment deleted.
if there’s still some time to give
plant a tree
above the remain of me

Tears Got No Pain
For Daisy Kirui
Can you hear the call far the yonder?
The still and clear mystery that afternoon? When Daisy took her heart to see you her son? And...And you still ponder?
"It's over, son, you're the sun... “I’ll keep to remind you.”
It hurts to remember the dispiriting efforts to gauge you, the absurdity, sudden bout of a liar,
and she still saw you her favorite measly "thing"
It's worth no mother's heart away from your pain she took-.
"Whirr your mind and try to shut down the sinking regrets"
The detention of guilt, folding and engulfing, "Son, turn it up, your star is rising"
Daisy made you believe in yourself,
and she turned to be the fairest person you ever met "You're bigger than your wrongs..."
And the tears flew...
And pain- pain taking a toll of staggering wonder Shy, blushed by her charming nature-.
That afternoon, dear son, should render joy.
No longer should tears motion you to run a guilt folding table its joy, rather than pain.

Like sands
Through the hourglass
My thoughts percolate
Between instant gratification
And long-term resolution.
Like an unfaltering pool
Of sinking sand
My dissatisfaction agglutinates
With foolish gibberish
To obscure optimism.
Like a withering stalk
My shrivelling aspiration
Matches and clashes
With swelling inertia
Resulting in dispiriting
Deprivation of direction.
Like a valley of ash
My barren essence
Gasps for restitution -
For a preserving elixir
To cogently overturn
The demise of time.

In the swaying middle of a dangerous voyage
To climes of far sunnier look and ripening age,
I often fight the doubts of a death-daring wreck;
Questioning the exact wisdom of my lonely trek.
Not that I midway could my courses amend,
Nor make room for ruings and ebbing hopes;
Or dreading harsher shores first wishes trim,
To cry in sync with sad martyrs' effete tropes.
Verily there’s a shadow where clear roads stood,
And tripping blocks where defter legs easily trod;
There slashing ogres their charging scrolls shout,
To put to rout the wearied walker's untiring mode.
Yes dispiriting detriment picked routes obscures,
With every unthinkable wall and slowing mounds;
Forcing fatigued legs into impromptuous detours,
Which bite with blighting pain and chilling sounds.
The labouring voyager shall move on in truth,
To the dream-born Idylls of his unshorn youth.

It was a life risking war, for tranquility,
Looking for the light, while in obscurity.
Placing goals, where motive was dispiriting,
Seeking warmth, when hope was non existing,
Crafting the road to reach the bliss,
To enjoy some light, warmth and peace.
Mistakes were made, can't be at ease.
Lessons were learned, I won't miss!
While ignoring previous credit,
Where getting closer miles it,
When seeking a non existing fulfillment;
The Bliss can never be convenient!
However, it wasn't just about the progress,
But enjoying each moment of the journey.
Being a perfectionist assumes victory,
But without admiration, misses happiness.

Within the darkness comes the light
To save you from this dispiriting night
But as the light dims you lose your way
Knowing the darkness is where you stay
Since the selection until the end
The darkness within is where you have been
From the mazes and canals of your once great mind
Comes the fear of being left behind
You've seen motivation from family and friends
Why doesn't this darkness come to end
A blessing to someone who loves me dearly
To leave the darkness you must listen clearly

Florid light from
The heavens glistened down
Illuminating tranquility as such
Shadows veil, so not to be found
Angels would escort her
Along soft moss covered way
Warm breezes of summer
Stirred gentle winds
For a radiant maiden
On a god's given day
A harsh winter’s night
Or a dank, dispiriting day
Of these I speak
The gods kept away
A lover she longed for
Selected I as her last
Surrendering to love's delirium
By her spell I was cast
A lady slipper found
In woods rest solely
A grasping hand
Creates a demise unholy
My angel's wings
Dispatched her in flight
Home to Eden
From a thralldom too tight
At sad times I ponder
Are her thoughts sent my way?
From a radiant maiden
On a god's given day

You must go on!
Our present is dark and full of sorrow
And fog is blocking our view of tomorrow
But your fate and mine are intertwined
Thus, you must go on, don't look behind.
With your hand in mine, we will reach the moon
And defeat the storms and the heat of June!
Our sinister ambience we shall allude.
And paint the world with a joyful mood.
The caliber of darkness is hard to defeat
Yet, if you stay with me, we will be complete
Our unison discharges a piercing light;
obscurity shall dissolve and we will be alright!
The dispiriting whispers are like asphyxiating weeds
That smother your courage and uproot its seeds
The tumbling fortress of your soul,
Will be restored if you pursue your goal.
Yesterday, when the ships of the world
betrayed us and overboard we got hurled
Remember, how you and I, boarded our dreams
as vessels until we reached those translucent streams.
The promising portrait of the coming dawn
Across our horizons will soon be drawn
Just one more step, don't look away
Witness the birth of a new day!

my life was mere existence
inner being barren and lost
a spiritual abyss
I was unprepared to cross
I walked in a winters rain
forsaken by those I loved
my weary body protected
only from the storm above
You knew Your child had wandered,
despair, a beckoning hole
You took me from the tempest
and into your place of hope
dwelling in your home of warmth
my dispiriting chill fades
Your light calms my inner storm,
awareness dawns, I am safe

The water’s calm lay broken by a breeze;
a whisper, yet it shivered ‘cross the lake,
dispiriting reflected hues with ease,
perhaps without intent, within its wake.
In silence, at the water’s edge, she stood
and watched as scenes of beauty disappeared;
dark echoes of a sunset, red as blood;
distorted visions drowned then re-appeared.
Delivered with a faint yet crippling blow,
such consequences borne of careless breath.
Dark seas of salty heartache vowed to grow,
engraved with scars, adornments until death.
As words with thought once bathed a tender heart,
just one without did tear her world apart.

Slinking away a gaze in silent distress,
by that guarding railings, a light it descends
her mind it flounders in self made heaven
swarms around that verity clean shaven.
Sultry dusk marks again an end,
of whimpering yearns in their flawless defend
his allure ode always in aloft
through entangled vines a place they sought.
Bygones and blood relations, they forsaken
but oh not a fiddle of reluctance it given
it's not wrong to deem the slightest
barriers she breaks to the furthest.
Dispiriting clouds enshrouds her in twilight,
his scenic visage twirls around in silhouette,
ages she will dwell in that eternal solace,
immense love brim full, were they ever realised?
Hopes glimmer beyond horizons afar,
and lingers not a qualm of what destined for,
beguiled always in his limpid purity,
like trellis his arms, she buries in felicity.
