STILL WATERS
Day by day
Night by night
Kiss by kiss
Touch by touch
Step by step
I fall in love
A love so incomprehensible
So vivid
So unique
So wild
A passion so deep
A need so necessary
A want so strong
The universe would not handle
A filling so diverse
A sensation so sweet
A light so glowing
A stir so volcanic
Just as the still waters our
Love runs so deep.

Timothy Muya Poem
DUSK
In the famine ravaged lands
The atmosphere is pregnant with uncertainty
Of what tomorrow brings forth
A herdsman leads his malnourished goats
Into their pens with their fable cries barely
Audible as hunger pangs strike ferociously
Carcasses of starved animals carpet the roadside
As the aura of starvation fills the air
Leaving a trail of destruction and hopelessness
The scotching sun hits the already dried up
River beds as a sand storm prepares to hit
Disolence is that is left in this once promising land
The old men sit in groups under
A partially dried acacia tree
Murmuring in low tones
The hot humid wind hits their faces
As their wrinkle filled faces
Betray their empty stomachs and the
Ambiguity of the future
As dusk settles in the women
Stream back with empty pots
After miles under the merciless sun
They have nothing to show off their
Hard day’s work but empty containers and
Dejected hearts
As night falls no children can be heard
Playing out but they scramble for
One en’goi to quench thirst in their
Sour throats oblivious of the danger they are under
But the level of desperation knows no bounds
As hunger pangs tear through their scrawny pot bellies
The babies suck their mother’s empty breasts
Their hunger cries pierce through the silent night
From the corner of the mothers eye
A tear drops as the intensity of baby’s cry elevates
But the determination and the will to live super cedes
The pangs in her acid filled stomach and with
A weak barely audible voice she says
It shall be well my child
As streams of tears roll down their conspicuous cheekbones

Timothy Muya Poem
LETTER TO MY LOVE
I want to write a letter to you my love
A letter that will open up my feelings for you
A letter that will echo the desires of my heart
A letter that will give an answer to all you questions
I want to write a letter to you my love
A letter that will describe us
A letter that will show the tears of my heart
A letter that will show you my worst fears
I want to write a letter to you my love
A letter that will tell my longing for you
A letter that will give words unspoken
A letter of my long life ambition
I want to write a letter to you my love
A letter that will reveal my long lonely nights
A letter that will reveal my thoughts
A letter that will tell my desire to be with you
I want to write a letter to you my love
A letter that will tell the light your smile brings
A letter that will tell the joy your presence brings
A letter that will outlay the hope your words give my life
I want to write a letter to you my love
A letter that will tell you how I wish to see you again
A letter that will reveal my hopes of holding you again
A letter that will tell my desire to kiss you again
I want to write a letter to you my love
a letter to you my love……
