I fell for a poet
And she seized being one to me
She became art to her very core
Her eyes carry the world in colour
Deep in their twinkling depths
Her skin radiant like sunlight on meadow
Beaming with warmth from her inherent glow
Her smile, the charisma of a promise untold
Sparkling the air like sparkling gold
Her voice is soft in its gentleness
Falling like whispers upon my skin
My senses left in a roller coaster spin
I adore the feel of her hair on my bare skin
I love the poem she writes for me
About not caring how many people like her
Because her heart and soul like her
About how honest she is with herself
And never trades an ounce of it for relatability
So her pen keeps spinning her spell
Directly from the depths of her soul
Leaving me breathless for her air
Soaring into the skies

You are like the vast ocean
Really pretty on the surface
Then I dove down into the depths
Got a chance to really know you
And found beauty most people never see
Passion to the Edge of living
Love to the point of no return
Strange but so lovely and lively
Like a forest full of songbirds

I thought love was beautiful
But have I met her?
Do I know what she looks like?
Because she scarred me completely
Scarred my heart, my thoughts, my sanity
So tell me, is she really worth it?
I have loved and I have lost
So I seek no more of this
She is described with such entity
Envied by many, sought by all
A necessity to most, but not to me
So goodbye beautiful
But are you really beautiful?
I wouldn’t know for sure
Because you’ve hurt me severally
And I question your every intention
But this is goodbye
It would be courteous for me to say
Until we meet again
But if I were to be honest
I hope I never see you again
-
The first time I saw you
I just wanted to know
How to make you laugh
Then I made you laugh
And I wanted to do it day & night
There is something about you
That is so authentic and artistic
Something like poetry in how you look
And a muse’s melody in how you love
My heart could shelter you freely
But you wanted it as a colony
You planted your lipstick as a red flag
And I could not resist your rule
I gave you the throne to my air
Because darling, ever since that day
You’ve always taken my breath away

Hide and seek -
I’ve been walking this lonely road
For as long as I could remember
Past empty streets and sleeping cities
My shadow has been my only company
My faintly beating heart keeping me alive
Beyond every bend was a long blinding end
It’s the worst kind of pain I’ve known
Sometimes I wished someone found me
I’ve seen enough sights to dread the unseen
Now I’m stuck here at this crossroad
Where am I supposed to go?
To the right where nothing is left?
Or to the left where nothing is right?
I fell to my knees and closed my eyes
Weeping for these roads untravelled
Until I felt a warm touch on my shoulder
Someone did find me
The Way 🇰🇪
