He is the cure
To this disease
He is the answer
To all my questions
Nothing can compare
To the feel of his arms
Nothing more precious
To me than his eyes
He is the cure
The god of my idolatry
The one I adore .

Let Me
Let me touch you
Feel you
Let me kiss you
Taste you
Let me smell you
Inhale you
Let me listen to you
Hear you
Let me meet you
See you
Let me leave you
Miss you
Let me know you
Learn you
Let me read you
Poetize you
Let me make it right
Good to you
Let me inside
Know you
Let me
Love you.

He was the one
Every girl has one man
Who taught her to cry
Who taught her how to kiss
He was the one
Who taught me to cry
Who taught me to kiss
Now he wonders right now
Wonders how I learnt
Not to cry
He wonders where
I learnt to kiss
The way I kiss him now
He was the one
Who taught me to love
Who brought me to you
Who taught her to cry
Who taught her how to kiss
He was the one
Who taught me to cry
Who taught me to kiss
Now he wonders right now
Wonders how I learnt
Not to cry
He wonders where
I learnt to kiss
The way I kiss him now
He was the one
Who taught me to love
Who brought me to you
You to me
The sky is blue
Wisdom is true
You to me
Everything
One plus one is two
Mathematics
Me and you are pronouns
English
Mountains are high
Wells dry
But love for you
Will never be hard to reach
My eyes and your eyes
Aligned.
My face and your face
Perfection
So it is , that you and me
Equals one and two
And certain words we may share
Go beyond language

Perfection
So it is , that you and me
Equals one and two
And certain words we may share
Go beyond language
Tell me , what I should be?
Should I be utterly ruthless
Use my feminine power
And make you scour
Squirm in my power
Perhaps I should be a liar
Make you think night is day
Ying is yang , wrong is right
Should i badger or flatter you
And tell you that I get lost in your eyes
Or push you away , when playing games
Should I be like a fisherman with a bait
Should I argue with you
Give you two sided arguments
List my strengths and weaknesses
You're crazy to let me go
Should I cajole you
Lend you a bony shoulder
Maybe I should bluff
Just to watch you blush
What should I do?
Wheedle , nag , terrorize
Be sweet or hostile
Be siding , taking me as I am.

A million little pieces
An old mirror with dark spots
A piece of paper with black spots
Old.
Ruined.
Fear no man , have reference for God
The only one with power to destroy the soul
Thank God , for I fear
I would do anything for you
A long time between lovers
Latitudes and longitudes
A life of merely living
The compass has two arms : east or west
A glass is cracked
The price is right
Broken.
Overpriced.
The grass is so green , can you smell it
Possibility of falling into a pit
Nature.
Despair.
So it is , that my heart is
That I am
Broken
Into a million little pieces.

ENOUGH
I have to let you go
Please do no say I did not put up a fight
The more I held on , the more you slipped away
If I continue at this present tense
I might blight my soul with sadness
As much as I love you
I should and must consider myself
I cannot watch myself waste away
You found it easy to love again
At least one of us is
As much as my intentions are good
We were dysfunctional
Sometimes I feel like my heart
Won't let go , of you
But it has to
I wonder if i'll ever love again
The way I loved you
I cannot imagine loving more than this
More than pain , suffering
More than anything
More than everything
But you are happy now
As long as the sun shines or babies laugh
I'll mange somehow.
Enough , enough now.

A Kiss
The first time we kissed
I knew there and then
That I never wanted to kiss
Any other lips but yours again
How heavy is the might of souls
That drew me to you
Stripping hearts naked
Leaving them bare for cupid's bow
Breathing you ,
The air went straight to my heart
Your strong arms , passing into my mind
My voice murmurs while my heart roars
There is a presence here that cannot be ignored
I can feel you in my very core
Impelling me into bliss
Your kiss.
A kiss of life
It was the kiss
It blew me away
It didn't need words
To express
For a moment , a tiny fraction of my life
I experienced complete and utter bliss
Shivers up to my neck
The world as I knew It was perfect
Kismet , lovelorn , forbidden , tragic
Perfection was lost
The most passionate kiss
Turned into
A goodbye kiss.

Should I stay , should I go?
I find myself , at the present time
Thinking of reasons and rhymes
Why it makes sense to love you
Like this
I could hate you , after it all
But then I forget so quickly
But here is the joke sweetheart
I love you so much more , than I can hate you
So much so
Ive been going on strolls and walks
Ive been trying to forget
Gentlemen with traits
You could never possess
Wealth , gentility and looks
See I would trade
All their good looks
For your boyish charm
Or their money and cars
For maize on the street or a matatu ride
With you.
But it is what it is
It's through , for you
And me , except for the part
That I love you
Should I stay or should I go?

Those Shoulders
Those shoulders , made me paper
Like a beautiful flower and a bee
Why did it have to be me
Isn't that the cliche of attraction
Natures prerogative
Something in the way he walks
You should see him when he talks
We got to talking , and couldn't stop
We talked of everything and of nothing
Had I known the end , but at present
A present I liked him
He made me laugh
Made me nervous
Made me swallow words
It was a terrible paradox
Even in a matatu , I'd wonder
If I'd see Mr. Mysterious , I'd ponder
When around him I'd get into a daze
As one completely lost in a maze
I was not thinking clearly , I was in a haze
Those shoulders , would later
Be the beginning and the end
Of the meaning of a heart break
Which time would eventually heal
Slowly and slowly , the pain peeled
Black shirt , wide shoulders
I did see , once again
Standing like huge boulders
Those shoulders.

He is a dream
He is a dream , my true love
Who dares not show his face to me
In the living day ,
So while I shut my eyes to sleep
I see him.
Yes , he is my dream
So you cannot say this or that
It is my dream
And I shall have it
As I like it
Oh , when the closets of my mind
I remember , his face , his smile
His voice , his eyes or his lies
I remember him , though it tries
To forgive a dream
He is a dream , my dream
So flattering sweet , so desperately beautiful
When I shut my eyes , heaven shines
To dream him .
My dream.

Enemies of the Heart
Thinking of you
Is both a pleasure and a pain
Losing you was all hell to bear
Friends and the rest , cannot understand
Or fathom the unfathomable
Saw fit to meddle with me
And meddle they did
I do not say , seek one with fault
To blame , them
For truth be told
I am at fault
So quickly angered I was
So quickly persuaded I was
About your flaws
Now you are gone
How can they know , what I am feeling?
False hood , for they would sooner
Grudge that we never met
So would I , come to that
It would be simpler
For I have forgotten that word
That state of being
They would flee from the depth of love I have for you
I would do anything for you , did they know?
Or they did just guess and dismiss
It as infatuation
Letters to the Editor of the Gossip Column
If only I ignored them
If only I wasn't easily mislead
By cunning hurtful tongues
Talking amongst themselves , forked tongues
Wicked hearts
Arrogantly celebrating the fall of loved ones
Is both a pleasure and a pain
Losing you was all hell to bear
Friends and the rest , cannot understand
Or fathom the unfathomable
Saw fit to meddle with me
And meddle they did
I do not say , seek one with fault

In the garden of my love
In the garden of my love
I feel the wind swaying the green leaves
At noon
The morning air , that lingered so chilly
So fresh
Let's the noon heat in, and the wind is soothing
I sit here under the tree from the bareness of the sun
In the garden of my love.
The wind blows cool air into my eyes
Oh , am I tearing up?
My eyes are blurred , I start so see things
Colours , bright blue as the sky
Green, as green as the grass
I see you , walking towards me
I shield my eyes from the harsh light
But I cannot hide my happiness and eagerness to see you
My first instinct , is to jump and run
But there I sit , rooted to the spot
In the garden of my love.
The wind blows away
And you are gone
Like a flash
The wind is swaying the green leaves at noon
So soon it is half a day
The heat rests in the west , slowly
The light starts to say
Goodbye
I sit there still , waiting for you
Waiting for you to reappear
The heat that lingered on , so hot
The wind that blew , so breezy
Is gone , and so are you
Twilight turns into dark
A cold wind , sends shivers
It is so dark , I cannot see a thing
Save for the heavens above me
But here I remain
In the garden of my love
You are my morning , noon and night
The grass , trees , flowers , bees
You are everything in it.

Ash
I am ash
I am dust
I am spent
Relieve me here
We came laughing together
Now I'm crying altogether
You came
You saw
You conquered
Where are you?
Are you coming back?
So I am ash , dust
Spent.
Without you.
Nothing.
I am dust
I am spent
Relieve me here
We came laughing together
Now I'm crying altogether
You came
You saw
You conquered
Where are you?
Are you coming back?
So I am ash , dust
Spent.
Without you.
Nothing.

As soon as
As soon as I earn
All there is to learn
From life
Ill strife
As soon as I begin
To hold my emotions in
In a shelf
From myself
As soon as I grow
Bitterly as a crow
Ill know
Somehow
As soon as I
Perhaps
Maybe
Uncertainty.
