Laughter creased my face
With the wideness of joy in a darling
Hallooing loudly, Hawaii!
Making me younger with weakly wrinkles,
It warmed my heart with a flaming ring of mirth.
And I liked it.
I watched the waves as they rose and fell,
Like the big flattered locks of a comely
Landlady combing her tresses on a windy, snoopy
Sunday morning.
And I loved it.
Who are next to be loved?
Lucy & Lucille.
One laughs
The other winces with laughter
When cold fleeting winds blow over
Our inchoate sensibilities.
And we love it —
Like we loved Lucy.

Down the corridors of mortal existence
He pursued me without ceasing,
Never yielding in his search of the lost,
Nor flinching from the wounds he carried
To gain admittance to my broken heart.
Out of a love beyond finite understanding,
He poured his abundant grace
Like a cascading fountain,
Showering me to cleanse and heal.
He gave himself for me,
When he brought his heavenly kingdom
To reign within, where
Once I ruled in my life.
Nothing compares to the mystery
Of God's holiness being implanted
In this empty vessel
Because of the sacrifice of one pure Man
Upon a cross of guilt and shame.
I can only surrender to his invitation,
Knowing I am known
Since before the dawn of creation -
Made in his perfect image,
Now restored in gold.
If by thought, word or deed
I mar the redeemed body,
I am impelled to confess
Before him, who stands in my defence,
Since he has atoned for all my sin.
At peace in the presence
Of him, who is the Prince of Peace,
I look to a time out of time
When I will be in eternal glory
To bow before him as Lord of lords
And King of kings -
My brother and friend.

Balancing his largeness on a ball
His wideness rampant, his legs not tall
Making us smile with his balancing act.
He’s like tweedly dee, and that’s a fact.

Confidence gave me my smile
Encouraging me to not use its full wideness
Arrogance came by and spread it out to its full strength
What’s a woman to do? I hid under my covers, afraid of both
Come on out Confidence said, in that nurturing way
Lifting me to heights of completion I had only dreamed before.
People began commenting on my abilities and talents
Arrogance came by, taking full credit, pushing me into a blender.
Why do you do that? Pride asked. Where is the stop gap point?
Having no idea, I let her push me around with guilt and remorse
Until Arrogance came back and they battled to the death
Which truly was the best way to get Confidence and I back together.

When do you want to rebel?
At dawn when the thoughts are gathering
At broad daylight when the thoughts are hiding
At dusk when they are opening the buttons of their charade
Or at night when they have forgotten their purpose?
When do you want to rebel?
Lips bedeck in crimson, you wonder
Is it in search of blood or passion?
You wonder while they dance,
Allure you with smiles,
Lips, do you mean happiness?
Or have you slaved the smiles?
Oh you conniving puppetmaster!
When I rebel,
Will those strings be enough?
When do you want to rebel?
Hands touch you like you are satin
Wrapped around dirty, naked bodies
Without permission
When I strangle you
Will those hands be enough?
When do you rebel?
You love like a cloud in its deathbed
Caressing the wideness of an oblivious mountain
Soon vanquishing in his unyielding walls
When I turn into thunder and lightning,
Will that strength be enough?
Every breath is a chance to steer a storm
Every blink is a chance to create a memory
Rebellion is Agony's womb,
The place where
The sun and the moon,
Night and day,
You and I,
Our thoughts,
Were born.

Someone say me something
While I view her silent eyes
Deepness of vast ocean
And wideness of open sky
Its feel like that
She want to say something
By the deepness of her eyes
She is not under the cloud
She is now not hide
She is wake up of the dreams
She is rising dream of sunrise
No one can make grip on her heart
No one catch her move in life
She is freedom of the birds
She show way to search new horizon
And give meaning to the life

Walking On Beach
Horizon seem to touch the distant ocean
Vastness surpassed my limited vision.
Sky and Sea were with me in unison,
as I walked on sandy- rocky beach.
Waves, rolling, roaring, rising high
amusing silent witness azure sky.
Sky-blue? Ocean-green? Which thread to apply,
for veil of Mother Nature to stitch?
Petrichor of wet sand particles I smelt
crawling crabs, corals and clams I met,
moistened windy breeze over sea I felt,
pleasant pretty charms to make me rich.
Overwhelming beauty of sea, I visualized,
on depth of emotion I was mesmerized,
too small was my existence, I just realized,
appealing to any one or each.
Vastness, wideness, endlessness enchanted me,
my quark-type tiny spot was hard to see,
so ridiculous my identity,
Eternal Divinity to reach?

What hand cast stardust into the void abyss
Thrust into the dark emptiness of eternity
And whose breath cast them adrift with a kiss
What source of Glory started this maternity
When the radiant glow of creation broke
And tiny myriads of stardust start to glow
The point when from nothingness time awoke
Where glowing beauty of spheres did grow
Those youthful orbs then sped away
Through the inky darkness they sung
In glorious splendour of colour they play
The symphony of their choir then rung
Oh Cosmic Dawn when did you start
In the vast empty wideness of space
Before time started to play his part
Where is the Glory of your Divine face
Now you dance such glowing orbs
You continue to expand in space
Drunk with your charm our minds absorb
The infinity of your ageless grace

I’m from Lift Valley
Deep in an over and done Ethiopian city
I come to lead you
How can you forget the architect of Egyptian pyramid?
Unless you are not part of this creation
The jungle raises me up
The only playground I master to play
While at the same time I became a pro hunter
Learning jungle survival vital lessons
But I'm not scared yet
Is in you, I value my jungle
And my central land of great lakes
