Bogonko Kevin Poem
I hold on
to every word you say
hanging on your promises
like my life depends on them
I let my soul
plunge into the abyss of your love
and with every heartbeat
I reminisce your tender words
I hold on
to the feeling of trust
where everything else is obscured
and all that matters is you
I let my ears listen
only to the whisper of your words
the only voice that stirs my heart
the only sound that thrills me
I hold on
till your sound trails away
till all is quiet
and all that is left is your shadow
and only then will I say
that I lived
and I loved .

Bogonko Kevin Poem
The night is cold
There is an owl perched on the gum tree
Its pitch dark outside
Its silent as a grave yard
She clings unto herself
Her mind wonders away
she reminisces her husband
pulling her into his chest
Fitting into his embrace
Like she belonged there
She lifts up her head
Staring into his blue eyes
Eyes that are so reassuring
Filled with love
Eyes that seem to promise eternity.
Then one fine morning
She sat down on a mat
Closer to the rugged gate
Winnowing wheat
Singing ‘the song of the great warrior’
From the North
The Kingdom of the mighty King Xerxes
And the elusive enchantress Lucia
Came a great warrior by the name Attila
By his sword tens of thousands were slain
By his arrows thousands lay on the battle field
All hail the great warrior!
All hail the mighty King!
Then a man came up to the rugged gate
Walking with a slight limp
Wearing an old tattered uniform
His visage looking weary
His eyes shinning bright as the sun
And from his lips came a soothing song
‘praise be to the Mighty God of the universe
The giver of life to the wretched
the lord of great knowledge
the provider of sustenance in due season
all honor be to the great King of the earth
and the master of the heavens'
She looked up to see a frail man
The warrior she adored
The man she loved and kept in his heart
For whom she waited
For whom she prayed
She ran and fell into his arms
She sang the song of joy
For love and peace at last

Bogonko Kevin Poem
Looking at your eyes
I could see it all
The impeccable beauty
The charm and the fire
And I wanted to look at them
And behold the beauty
The calmness in your voice
The composure
your astute demeanor
The grit that surpasses all fear
The elegance in your words
makes me fall in love with you

Bogonko Kevin Poem
Will you?
Snub away my breath?
With one stroke of the blade
Shade my blood?
Soaking the earth
On which we stood
Upon proclamation of our love
The earth that witnessed our first kiss
Will you?
Look at me with cold eyes?
Gaze at me with hatred?
Send me to an early grave?
With my dreams and hopes
My love not withstanding
Forget your promise?
The covenant of love till death do us asunder
Will you?
When love fades
A culmination of your vices
Nights of tears and heartache
Solitude, despair and agony
The apex of your infidelity
Cast an evil stare upon my soul?
Betray me?
