The Way 🇰🇪

  • Son of David

    I like writing and I love poetry
    I have found a timeless anthology
    Staring at me through the mirror
    A handsome majestic Royal Priest
    Bearing the most noble heritage
    In my veins runs a Royal Bloodline
    From the glorious House of David
    My presence in this world is known
    My presence in my home world is acknowledged
    With an Invisible Crown upon my head
    I am an heir to His Eternal Kingdom
    If I could write about The King of Kings
    I could write just about anything
    For He is everything & everything is Him
    If I have to write more about me
    I would still write Him, just Him
    For I am my loving Father’s Son
    I was born a Crown Prince

  • Here fore Her

    If you were to ask me to tell you about that one dream
    I would rather take you with my poetry to see
    The scars I keep trying to keep hidden within
    Worlds of words that were secretly written in sin
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions
    Walls of brick by brick made with naive assumptions
    The twisted tale of her viles full of manipulation
    A torrid twist of the narcissist’s subtle evasion
    She played her games with no hint of shame
    Provoked me to confusion where I was left to blame
    I keep replaying my footsteps on each stepping stone
    Searching for the single one where I went wrong
    But the ghost she said was underneath my bed
    I finally found it hiding inside my head instead
    Love your neighbor simply meant they’re family
    Perhaps that’s why Jesus said love your enemy
    But one day you’re going to grow up just like me
    I pray it happens slower and better than it did to me
    If writing all my feelings could reduce this pain
    I wouldn’t have ended like this in sheer disdain
    So this is the short story of my dream told by myself
    I hope this full stop at the end doesn’t triple itself.

  • Delightful Wrath

    A poem is a double edged sword
    So I try my best to wield mine well
    And not unsheathe it in reckless rage
    Because these words that I write
    They cannot kill who I really am
    They cannot spill my warm blood
    But they quench my soul sometimes
    And sometimes they set my veins on fire
    They do kill me a little sometimes
    And sometimes they kill me a little bit more
    So I smile with each slashed scar
    Imprinted on the walls inside of my heart
    And some day I will set like the orange sun
    Beyond the horizon as it is deep down in me
    Silently

  • I Believe

    Jesus, You are different!
    You stood by the adulterous woman,
    When everyone walked away from her.
    You entered the publican’s house,
    When everyone rebelled against him.
    You called the children to You,
    When everyone wanted to send them away.
    You forgave Peter,
    When he condemned himself.
    You praised the poor widow,
    When everyone ignored her.
    You resisted the devil,
    When all would have succumbed to his temptation.
    You promised paradise to the evildoer,
    When everyone wished him hell.
    You called Paul to follow You,
    When everyone feared him as a stalker.
    You ran away from success,
    When everyone wanted to make You king.
    You loved the poor,
    When everyone was looking for riches.
    You healed the sick,
    When they were abandoned by others.
    You shut up,
    When everyone accused You, they beat You and made fun of You.
    You died on the cross,
    When everyone was celebrating Easter.
    You took the blame,
    When everyone washed their hands in innocence.
    You rose from the dead,
    When everyone thought You were defeated.
    Jesus, I thank You because You are Unique

  • Choco

    My ebony queen
    Golden brown skin
    Eyes radiant like the moon
    Smile as bright as hope
    Lips that speak of love
    Wonderful twin sisters
    Swollen up with joy
    Boasting of great things
    Arms obsessed with beauty
    Legs slender bearing gifts
    Curves that carve temptations
    The brunt of my admiration
    A piece of heaven on earth

  • Almasi

    If I ever gave someone a chance
    I hope she treats me as something delicate
    But not fragile
    Like how you’d treat a diamond if you had it
    It’s the hardest element that can withstand enormous pressure
    Yet it’s so rare and you treat it with so much care
    Because you don’t go outside and find it everywhere
    But then again I am not a diamond
    What I want is not necessarily what I deserve

  • Faraka

    Sikujaliwa na moyo wa chuma
    Kuhimili yako mahaba na maumivu
    Kanichoma, mtima waniuma
    Tele, roho yangu imejaa maumivu
    Maisha yamenikwisha yake hamu
    Kanitia karaha moyoni mwangu
    Usoni mwangu sinayo tena tabasamu
    Nashindwa kukuita tena mpenzi wangu
    Tazamio langu nilidhani tatizo marafiki
    Wachochezi wenye hulka za kinafiki
    Kumbe yote ni wewe, kunguru na mwewe
    Asali nilipenda, kaona heri kuchonga mzinga
    Hakika nyuki kumfuga sharti ukubali na kuumwa
    Maumivu chungu nzima nashindwa kuvumilia
    Hisia mfarakano, moyoni nalia

  • See You Again

    To love is to suffer, that much is true
    But hatred is neither the answer, it’s not for you
    We must choose love over hate
    To heal our hearts and seal our fate
    I lost, I’m lost and my heart still is at loss
    The ache I feel I cannot shake
    I am seeking answers but find none
    This hurt cannot be easily undone
    As I lie awake all through the night
    I struggle with sleep and I miss your light
    I’ll miss us hanging out and having fun
    Our sunset dhow rides were second to none
    Rooftop nights and swimming outside the house
    Those were moments that I’ll always espouse
    Meeting you will always be something special
    A time to reconnect and share our potential
    All I have now are memories that you existed
    I seek peace and hope that it’s heaven where we’ll be reunited

  • For Your Eyes Only

    My clock is no longer ticking
    And my pen just ran out of ink
    My thoughts turned back to water
    Steady flowing yet I cannot blink
    They told me eyes speak a lot
    But whenever I look in the mirror
    I wonder what happened to that lot
    It seems like I have nothing to say
    Or my eyes can’t explain it either way
    All the words my pen wrote in blue
    Their borrowed time is way past due
    All the hope, pain, joy, strength and more
    They all once was and are now no more

  • Winner’s Loss

    Life is like a rapid river
    And the waters are very deep
    Cross it with the utmost care
    Or you will end up just like me
    Let my once foolish mistakes
    Be your future stepping stones
    Stay away from the holy herb
    Watch out for the company you keep
    And hold on dearly to those you love
    Because LOVE Is a Man’s Greatest Need
