When Love Ends
When love ends, it doesn't just go and disappear
It scratches and scrapes layers of your heart
Digs your flesh and pales you up
When love ends, the apathy left is bitter
It boils your emotion and fries your spirit
Strengthless and your feelings, numb
Something beautiful with sharp crooked nails on its tail
What it touches will blossom at first
Will bleed dry once it's bored
For when love comes
Seeping too deep within it has gone
Clutching its nails on your defence walls
Ready to rip it and use its ultimate weapon
Death kiss but it might miss
You need luck to survive and a new love to be revived

The time you were born
People were happy for sparkling son and daughter
Your father stood cheering by,
But home shoulder high you came.
To-day, I never forget,
When shoulder-high they brought you home,
And set you at your doorstep down,
And alone you were left
You are my shining star
Though you weathered quicker than the rose
Silence is what I hurt
As it reminds me when earth stopped your ears.
As people flocked to gaze the strengthless dead,
Courage I gathered to take up your fighting spirit
And without gazing I said my last prayer
You remain my hero and heroine.
Note: The poem is Dedication to my parents Evelyn and Baxter Kamwiyo

I have a wrath; I wrapped it in
Place of my heart; I hid within
A darkness space; I dare not tell
My reckless wrath a mere farewell.
I cherished it; day by day
It grew and live; way by way
My temper rises; and when it falls
Another shriek, another call.
Yet I did not had told my wrath
Sure did retreat from freedom path
Each day I live with vexing tears,
All strengthless gasp and horrid fears.
Till finally the day had come
A good bye to my home sweet home
Still haven’t told but I’m relieved
Because I know I’m not believed.
I hate those looks, peculiar lies
Understand not, don’t try be wise
I rather die out to the world
Then in my foe’s deceitful words.

i'm waiting
eyes closed
palms out
waiting
for something
for what
im not sure
but God just told me to wait
so im still waithing
i pray it comes soon
for the lords child also gets weary
i feel strengthless
helpless
hopeless
and i pray it comes soon
im waiting for a miracle
maybe i just need to be patient
or better yet
when i think about it
maybe thats what im waiting on
maybe thats my miracle
and he's been giving it to me every minute i wait
