Red Rose

God send me the flower
Send it Red
With petals and 
Stalk
Stalk I can hold with my heart
And pedal to happiness
My bi-cycle
This is love cycle
Me and my baibe
Holding hands in the streets
Following each other 
On the pavement
Like those bicycle tyres
Red Rose
Here is February
I need my garden Red
Lilies in my lake
All I need is love
That's
Appealing like red rose
And
Shining like lilies.

Cool Me Down

Sometimes I burn with desire and passion
The feeling that entangles my heart and mind 
That makes me vulnerable to emotions
It pierces me from within, sets my body in rage
Love is hell burns internally, where is heaven
My black heaven, the daughter of Africa
Send me black woman to cool me down

Sometimes I sit down out of this world
In the vacuum of earthly religions
Thinking hard which is true one thereis none
Muslim pagan to Christian, Christian Kafir to Muslim
Whether heaven is full of honey, milk and;virgins to Jihadists
My coffee is dark I need milk and honey for my earthly sip
Quench my testosterone with a virgin on earth
Heaven is too far for me
Send me African religion to cool me down.

Sometimes I feel sorry for those in sorrow and boredom
Isolated from life and happiness, frowned I see the mummies
The spirits have left them, they hover over their heads
I sit inbetween them with my philosophies to brighten them faces
Story, there is no death to life but to the body
We neither go to heaven nor hell, life is transformed into another body
The newborns, ancestors live in them life goes on
Nkurumah,Kenyatta,Makeda live in I and I The Livy
Through stories, spirits gets back into them.
Send me weed to cool me down.

Sometimes I look up in the sky,”heaven” is now visible
They have thinned the ozone so they could see God
But the more I look up for “heaven” the more I don’t see it
My eyes blinded by the rays from “hell”
I see through my skin which is in fire,and carcinomas 
The springs and rivers turned into trenches tributaries to hell
Tears for my brothers and sisters...Down in..
Turkana and Baringo have no food, they feed from their own fat.
Consumed by sun the “hells’” fire into bones and carcasses
Send me rain….
NO
Send me fire to cool me down

Mama Dont Cut the Cord

Mama if you love me please don't cut the cord
Don't separate me from your world
And cast me into this wicked earth
Look at the hills of Longonot
Do you see ice capping 
All I see is fire on the hills
Coming down to consume me
So mama, don't the cut the cord.

Mama when you bear me take a deep breath
Feel how the air chocks your lungs 
So irritating you will not feel your labor pains
Mama my lungs are weak to purify
The outside world is polluted
So much filth in the air
Carbonated than beverages 
So mama,dont cut the cord 

Mama don't bear me to these streets
Where nobody gets enough of anything 
Or worse,so rough no one gets anything 
Other than convicts,deaths and miseries
Mama these streets turn brothers against brothers 
Survival is for the killers and thieves thrives
Cemeteries overflowing 
So Mama,don't cut the cord

Mama you know I love so much don't cut the cord
I want us to be immortal and live forever
Let's be gods through the umbilical cord
And give back life when one dies through it
Feed you when you no longer have teeth
When you no longer can swallow 
And do the same to me when I no longer can
So Mama, Don't cut the cord

I Want To Fight

I am in shackle
My heart’s wrists tied to his
Holding his heart in my hands
The evidence before this court of fantasy
For committing the crime of love
To protect this heart
I want to fight

I want to fight 
To get hold the waft of…
This aroma of Vanilla
My mind is a prison baibe
I got you convicted in my mind
You bang the walls of my mind everywhere
Graffited my walls, I see you baibe
Draw me to that wall, make my memory last
I want put dre over my head
So I could feel those beats
You echo in my mind
Your cham, surely..
I want to fight

I want to fight
Fight and darken my berry for you
I want to look at you
With my moonlight eyes
In my darkskin tonight,
Look up and see the stars on my face
My two moons and 32 stars customized for you
My baibe get over the stars into my galaxy
You can stay under my moonlight
Watch me over
Flowing like the nile
Meandering through your black valleys
Feel the roaring of my river
Even if you mask your ears
You will feel it
For you to feel this…
I want to fight

Gimme That Love

Gimme that love that’s not relative
Gimme that heart that’s not evol
Gimme that chance that’s not limited
Gimme that attention that’s not sickening
Gimme that smile that’s no plastic
Gimme that hug that’s not cold
Gimme that look that’s not scary
Gimme that freedom that’s not checked
Gimme that reason that’s not a lie
Gimme that love that you promised
That’s what I ask for….

Lets Bring Back the Naive Love

I want the naive love
That love we were in at the beginning
When holding your hands was like heavenly connection
When I could spend time writing letters to you
When our dumb jokes elicited laughter
Let’s go vintage love
Remember I was the rainbow
You could describe me with every color
That sun love through our rain
Made a happy spectrum on our faces
We could call and be talkless
The communication was strong
Verbal things didn’t limit our understanding
We still did
We still found happiness in nothings
Loving the vintage way
We could talk about the future
Like we were gods and goddess
Holding it in our palms
So vintage
Let’s bring back the naïve love
I want to long for you
I want to last long with you
I want to get connected to my heavens 
Through our hands connections
Our hugs 
Warm
Ended all my colds from the winter
Felt like was overseas
Seeing you with a telescope
Yet you were just few miles away

I Married In the City

It was a reality
To him he had seen ahead
He had lived it 
So he was disturbed in the head
That one day i will the village
Headed to the city
And so,
Before I came to the city
He said the place was a vacuum cavity
It sucks you in and has no gravity
Floats you beautifully
He pointed the sky
I saw the beautiful scenery
Of the winter clouds
Floating and streamling
Scattered on a blue sky background
Sun sending rays
To the ground between the clouds
it was breathtaking
That was the city boy
That's how it is there. 
So before I boarded the bus
He said, Grandson 
Don't marry a city girl. 

I met a village girl in the City
Do your remember the valleys
Those touched the sky 
With trees far in Elgon
Those that connected earth to heaven? 
That's her beauty
Natural and connected to her heart
The sky is on our feet now
We are Moving with the stars
Sipping honey on the moon. 
I married in the city
