The Way 🇰🇪

    They say life is a collection of special moments
    I keep having these moments, but what makes them special is you
    Yesterday you mentioned how the evening sky looked tired
    I mean, who even describes a sky like that?
    Yet I understood exactly what you meant
    These phrases you say when you forget someone’s listening
    I love the look on your face when you’re worried about me
    It’s a privilege to be written between your forehead lines
    You really have no idea what they do to me
    It’s crazy how just one sentence from you can throw me entirely off balance
    Your laughter used to be my favourite sound until I heard you moan
    Now I will have to leave such an imprint on your heart my sugar lips
    That anyone else you entertain after me will have to know me to understand you
    I won’t lie to you and promise that I will love you forever, love isn’t eternal
    My sort of love costs nothing so it’s nothing. I heard that lasts forever

    I like the way you get ink stains on your thumb because you hold your pen too tight
    I like the way you chew your lip when you’re anxious about what you want to say
    I’m not a poet, I’m just an ordinary guy who’s been paying attention
    I don’t have pick up lines for you, I have the fact that you no longer cook chips with boiled potatoes
    If I tried to write a poem about you, I’d fail. I’d just say how you keep losing your red hair band
    You’re my person, you read me as one reads Scripture. With reverence and patience
    You’re made of water and I’m made of thirst, every sunrise reminds me of your smile
    Every sunset feels incomplete without your name on my lips. You don’t understand what you do to me
    I’d like to dance in the kitchen and read books at that bench on the beach with you
    But here I am painting you in words while hiding myself behind metaphors
    I’d never introduce myself in daylight and I love in riddles. So no one solves me completely

    Today my journal pages leak out
    My secret words want to speak out
    Once they’re out they have their own lives
    And I have no doubt they will survive
    My love you are seldom ever heard
    But your pure soul can never be blurred
    Like the rain falls steadily in July
    Like the the snow falls in winter sky
    Like ripe fruits fall from the tree
    Like someone falls when tripped
    So does my heart fall for you
    I blame your friends for what they said of you
    Just make her laugh and she’ll fall for you
    And I did but every time you laughed
    I’m the one who foolishly fell in love
    Now you’ve become the personification
    Of almost all the poetry I have ever written
    And all I want to do is just recite you
    Until the day He takes me from you

    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

    I still remember it like it was yesterday
    How you spoke to me in almost a whisper
    I like how your eyebrows are thick
    I’d brush them for you if you’d let me
    I did my best to bite my tongue
    But I almost told you to whisper again
    Into my other ear so that I regain my balance
    It’s like you’re killing me and saving my life
    Then you still went ahead to say
    You look good in all colours you wear
    And that’s when I knew I was in trouble
    That only two things in this world will have me
    CHRIST & you

    You are thunder and lightning
    You are love and Rage
    Made of mountains and oceans
    Made of fire and water
    Some days soft, some days very strong
    Always strange and lovely
    My iceberg and my lighthouse
