For Tabby,For Elmer

Everybody knows the reason for your sorrows for they have the clue
Your torn pieces of heart shall be mended;may God grant you the glue
Very sad! Amidst you cut is a tree
But I pray that His grace and strength you see
Together in sorrows we are in
Just us in happiness we have been
Soon the brown grasses shall turn green
Every dark side of our story shall glean
Flowing will be the once dry streams
Answered and true will be our dreams
Dear Elmer and Tabby
His comfort,I pray you tap it!

To My Secret Love

I am not shy but I choose to love you in secrecy,
where it is only I,
I know you are not single,
daily I am praying for your heartbreak,
so I can be your nurse and nurse your heartache.

My gallery is a store of your pictures,
every time you post, I update,
being a secret admirer, my fate,
I know your eyes aren't mine,
but I am willing to learn.

Before I retire, I stare into your eyes,
every time I am lost in your smiles,
I choose to love you in secrecy,
where it is only I,
I am not shy,
but the heart wants what it wants.

Like a passenger waiting to board,
I will patiently wait for my turn,
turn to make you mine,
but for now, I choose to hide you,
hide you in between my heart walls.

To my secret love, I love you,
each heart beat, echoes your name,
this feeling wild than wildfire, hard to tame,
if you look into my eyes they will say the same,
but I choose to love you in secrecy,
where my heart is safe.

Valentine's Madness

To her I wanna give flowers
I want to surprise her with the most expensive necklace
I desire to take her out for a vacation in Miami
She absolutely wants to see me
Getting the most romantic dinner recipes
Irresistible desserts of chocolate mousse
She wants us to have a memorable Valentine's Day
Absolute Valentine's madness.

Last Valentine I plucked some rose flowers
At Anyang' Nyong'o Botanical Gardens
And wrapped them in a plastic transparent paper
I had not enough to buy an expensive necklace
But at least I afforded one
The dinner recipes reflected the significance of the day
Red wine with white meat at Kempinski
That's the injection she needed for the day
And of course I topped up her bank account
What else can one offer on such a day?
To do all these I stabbed my academics
And went ahead to use the school fees
Absolute Valentine's madness.

At night she was trending in the media
On every man's status and page
A guy declaring her as the love of his life
Another appreciating God for creating her on a Monday
When He had strength and all the zeal
With a secret account I saw her post a lad
As the pillar in her life and all she had
And I was blocked from viewing
Absolute Valentine's madness.
Romantic love on a Valentine's Day is absolute madness
My conclusion and opinion
It pricks like thorn and pinches so hard
Valentine's day, absolute madness!

Mrs Lenda

I knew the day we met that we were meant to be
I realized our destiny was set and she was the one for me
She was rich in beauty but poor for she will die with it
Her appearance nonplussed me and I couldn't hold the steerage of my course anymore
She is the one I consented to have on my slender thighs
At that point her pearly lips gave appointments to mine
This lady killed me and roasted my carcass
Leaving the scavangers performing the post-moterm
I walked tall in the genesis of our affair
Now I'm wrecked….
Higgledy-piggledy daughter of a lesser god!
Today, deluged with anger I regret
The day I met this devil incarnate;the mastermind behind the bleeding of my heart
She tattooed my heart with wounds;I no longer have a clean heart
Her friends and her drunk the gushing blood of my wounded heart
That night my heart contorted into painful lumps
But I had to forgive the being that created her and put her in my world
Bitter are my words,she is a nonsense with no sense at all
Daughter of Jezebel-show up on the day I get laid to rest;lower me to the ground,let me down like you always have-stupid creature!Nkt!

Annabala

There she goes
Down the aisle
A replica of beauty
The white veil reveals a slight make-up on her beautiful face
The wedding gown has drawn her curvaceous body right
The broad smile on her face exposes her egg-shell white teeth
Her eyes,a pair of brown-black beans floating in milk
Verily, attractive Dames cover like soft babes
This is the lady he will have on his thighs tonight, who will carry his child
Beauty is an understatement,Annabala is a real belle
This is what Sam has been waiting for
For twenty-nine years or so.

Stella

To feel the curve and fullness of your hips
My tongue sinking inside your pearly lips
Feeling the soft hard tissue of your twins
Swell of your chest promises more wins
Smell of yobody floats beneath my nose
Sweet fragrance of rose
Wrap me in your duvet of love
The only treasure I now have
Bury my head in fullness of your bossom
Plant five stars let our love blossom
Lemme hold you by your slender waist
The vacation in Miami is never a waste
Holding hands;kissing in the rains
Admiring the African beauty with brains
Unbuttoning the blouse; sucking nipples
Moving back to the neck;filled with ripples
And when my hands return to the ranges
Lemme press hard those wild oranges
When you're right in the wanted mood
I promise I shall read that interesting book
Sweet, sweet,sweet,sweet hours
The beautiful bouncing baby is ours.

Kissy Little Girl

I've visited a thousand bays
I've traveled a thousand days
I've spent a thousand K's 
I've listened to a thousand says
I haven't heard or seen someone like you

I've studied thousand lines of every song
Some are short while others long
Every day to sing I do long
Yet when I do some I prolong
I haven't got lyrics to curve you in stanzas

You seem too near yet too far
To see you I don't need a car
Or we don't need a meet up in a bar
Blessed with poetic lines I am by jah
I just plant you in every stanza to have you under my arms

Yet too far,today with poetry I bring you near
Each line will echo your name so clear
Today, lemme shed joyful tears
As I wish you a Happy Girlfriend's Day my dear
Rabadaba duuuu! This is for you!

Crush On You

Good afternoon my lady
Lemme introduce myself,I am a poet
I love playing with words and creating puns
I am ready to plant you in my paragraphs
Print smiles on your face and paint them with words
I will curve you in every stanza, each line will echo your name
I'll put full stops at the end of every sentence
Every comma will pause and gaze at the beauty rightfully possessed
My lines will always curl to make your hair more beautiful
Every word will always caress them and hold them in a ponytail
If you read this poem, I had you in contemplation
With every line will write off the painful past you've had 
I adore stars,moon and everything that sparkle
During summer, I'll plant five stars in every stanza
Every line will water them until they blossom
And during winter nights I'll take you outside to show you how twinkling the stars I planted for you
I will always remind you how beautiful you are 
How this poet loves you for I will bite one poem for you
To appreciate God for creating you on a Monday when He had strength
My lines will not spare your ribs,you'll laugh your heart out
Please, do teach me how to dance
So that I can always dance to your heart beat
I love the sound of your name in excess
You're always warm and you do melt my heart Elsie
Who else can I see?

What If

What if the sun was the moon
And the moon could shine at noon?
What if the earth was the heaven
And everything we ask for could be given?
What if God was Satan
And everything could change its pattern?
What if a long the way you lose hope
And the 'good' Satan gives you the rope?
What if I could be born again
And when born rich I call it a gain?
What if the sky ceases to be blue
And Elmer dislikes glue?
What if the drying of oceans is our fear
And we can fill it with our tears?
What if our hearts are heavy 
And our minds are wavy?
What if everyday I meet kissy little girls
And with their hair in curls?
What if I make a lot of fun
And way they run?
What if I broadly smile
And they all go wild?
What if Maangi loves Fred
And Maingi bread?
What if I blindly love Elsie
And everyone else sees?
What if everything I've said is true
And you don't have the slightest clue?

Came, Went and Came Back

It is not once or twice I lack
The words to describe the indescribables
The ink to write the numerous stories
Of how he came and went and came back
To mend the hearts he had tone apart
To console the souls he had tattooed with wounds
To mop the ocean of the tears he caused us
And hold us in his slender thighs
Put our heads on his chest and let us feel his heartbeat
The heartbeat of sorrows and regret
The heartbeat of repentance seeking for forgiveness
And I could feel his warm breath dumping my forehead
Reminding me of the love he once had for us
Of the ear to ear laughter he caused by his funny jokes and comments
This particular day revenge was the best
But I couldn't do it anymore
Upon seeing the tears forming artistic number eleven on his chubby cheeks
Upon remembering that this is the man who gave my mum the best sperm
I couldn't hold the grudge anymore
Because if he asked me to pay whatever good he had done for me,
I can't give him the exact sperm he gave
Yes,he is my father and whenever he seeks for forgiveness,he has it!
