Unforgettable Moments

That night was the last and longest we ever had
That day was the shortest, simplest and most sad
That drop was a dryer
And the smile was a goodbye

Team Spirit

Tick, lick, suck
Team, dream, win
One wants all
All wants one

Mirror Stares At Me

I’ve waited for a lifetime
Waited for smile like an end rhyme

I’ve listened a lot
Listened to voices that made me hot

I’ve lost enough
lost hope and mostly peace

I’ve climbed so high
Climbed Mountains and skies

I’ve played games
Games and won none

I’ve cried much
Much to be harvest with a handkerchief

I’ve lied to kings
Lied to kings and burnt my wings

I’ve seen mirrors breaking
Breaking like outbreak and firebreak

I’ve wanted a home
A home to be proud of alone

Beauty Ain'T Blessing

You opened the door ahead of me
I followed in my trembling cat moves
I still remember your yellow blouse 
with hesitation , unlike my indisciplined heart 
That embraced strange feelings at first sight 

you took me hiking 
And reminded me my favorite game
Hide and seek
Those terrifying cliffs,
Broke my heart in fear before you turned your beautiful back on me

I knew this moment would come 
lonely days 
Thoughtful nights 
Red eyes
Not every beauty is a blessing

To the Love of My Life

I hope you will be my last Ex
No human, shall come between us apart from death
I save my breath
for you to inhale, 4,5 & 6

No affection will be greater than this 
I will take you places including Paris
I love black high heels
This agony, only you can heal 

Your soft skin, is a cure 
To my past wounds, you are pure 
You are my autumn season
That blossoms these roses for sure
You heart is a safe prison
I want not to escape this future 

To the love of my life
I want you to see these flaws
The flaws that flow from my vein
I inherited, jealousy and resilience
Patience and tolerance
I will be your definition of perfection 
Your Alpha-Bird and Bed 

I have two hearts
The first is my late grandfather's hat
if it's not on my bald head, it's on my wooden table
I create memories to keep
The second, is the woman I will own
My Delilah and secret keeper

I'm short of words
In my silence, feel the love 
Your tears, is the last thing I would forever wish to see.

Your soulmate
Mr. John Kazadi

Dear Love

Dear Love

Your skin is dark crimson rose
That shines like a young sun
Your voice opens locked doors
Your passion is as huge as a baobab shadow

We are sweet seeds, stevia
And cannabis sativa
Yellow butterfly bush
Joined by glowing wings

You are golden marigold
Your eyes the color of a daisy
Even in our dark stage, we are crazy
Soul divers and rivers

We are sour preferred star fruits
Your kiss I have never tasted smell so sweet
And creates an entire globe
In my little world

You are angel
I am your heaven
And your man

The Black Lady Living Next Door

She sweeps her lawn almost every day
She wears a vest that blocks my way
               Tomorrow, I swear
I’ll greet her anyway

              She stares through her window opposite my kitchen
I have loved the view, will turn it my room
             With all due respect , I might  turn her my moon
To show her my strength, I will offer her a hen

             It’s 5 in the morning and a knock on my door
I must open it wide to prove I am a widower
           To my utter surprise it’s a debt collector
His name is Robert, and now we done

           Her skin is black, I adore her melanin
Although I am afraid, I am sure I can win
          If I cease her heart, will buy her a flat
By the end of the week burn all my fat

           The black lady next door, look familiar
With her in my house, will build la familia
           Tomorrow I swear
I’ll greet her anyway

             It’s been now a month, and I haven’t said a word
And I only have a dream to become her lovebird
            It’s midnight, I must make my bed
Tomorrow, I’m in shape, I won’t be afraid

          The black lady next door is set to leave
I’m trembling inside, I must hold my breathe
         Today is the day I promised myself
A step at time, I must walk like a chief

          Good morning my lady, extending my hand
She grabs it tight, I must act like a man
           My name is Joh, I’m sure you are Nyota
As sweet as our names, we form great butter

           It’s been now 5 years, and we have a toddler
His name is John, he’s just like his father
           What used to be my kitchen is now his room
I hope that through this window, he shall spot his queen

Fans and Friends

They are not ivories 
they are canines
Between them is a venom 
stand in the right column

They are not friends 
They are fans 
Sucking your blood
They won't leave, until they paint you mud

They are not after your wealth
They worry about your health
Very few, but means a lot 
They stand with you, firm as a knot 

They don't wait to wipe your tears
They hold you, and fight your fears

If

If I was a broken plate
would you pick every piece of my brokenness?
If I was a clay pot
would you break me even though I was made to be broken?
If I was a drop of tears
would you drop me and let me dry?
If I was dried river
would you have courage of swimming in my dry chest?
If I had nothing
would you love me as you do?

To Whom It May Concern

I can vividly see your dim lights from distance 
but still can't imagine your love for instance
The closer I move towards you
The more I realize I'm a fool 
The more I realize I'm a fool 
The more I imagine a possible coup
In your corrupt regime,
let me be your saviour,  maybe a bottle of champagne
Mark my words
we are exactly, what mama call love birds
We are the evil holy angels
and the last living legends
As I enlarge my arms for a hug 
Beware that this sweet man, can as well be a thug
