Tides And Time

Time like tides come and go
So the birds we've come to know
They leave the West for the East
Called by what they know best

Maybe what they seek they fail to find
Or still miss what they left behind
They decisively make a turn
Like a call to home return

That for a reason
Or just their season

I offered no reason to stay
And so you went away
Will tides ever turn one day
To bring you back my way?

Shall I make my confession
From my sins to get remission
If only in my heart
Yours to find rest

Dead End

If it gives no pride
And you have to hide
Truth you brush aside
Thus you see the end

Its nothing on to hold
Sure, no soul is told
If asked you pretend
Thus, smells a dead end

To reality you are blind
And the lies you defend
Faint evidence you depend
Your defense nothing bold

You ignore the turn of tide
By false paths you abide
Sound conscience disregard
Your only home in the wild

The shameful sycamore descend
Alight the abyss bound ride
A rock tray to empty your head
The trophy of chasing the wind

This is it!

To Cate I this dedicate
For your heart so passionate
Step by step you escalate
Melting mighty target to your feet

Splash today with pride
Though no end, smile broad
For this dawn was but a dream
And Hey, This is it!

Take to the sky, Eagless fly
By wings of joy higher propel
And if a soul dare to ask why
Hesitate not to ell the tale

Baby steps faint and remote
Breaking points never to forget
A faithful God by your side
(And dads' rod! Don't pretend!)
A strong hold to this end

And while you are at it
Like a star twinkle bright
Your past never forget
Lest the height one day regret

Live it and celebrate
Feel it and radiate
For Hey, This is it!

Once...

You gave my heart a life
When you gave a chance to love

Once...
You made my heart glad
By the one kind word

Once...
Your gentle and bold hand
Gave me the strength to stand

Once...
Your memory visited my thought
And made less pain that hurt

Once...
Your keen and listening ear
Drove away a threatening fear

Once...
A micro flash of a smile
Pushed me an extra mile

Once...
Your presence though in silence
Restored my lives brightness

Once...
My eyes wet with cry
Your touch left them dry

Once...
My heart running cold
Your node made me bold

Once...
I hope to feel your presence
If only another Once...

My Resolve

I put a seal on this date
A new path to demarcate
From the old I seek to depart
And my priorities set apart

Wishful thinking bid to halt
All planning bearing no fruit
Slow and surely my path I seek
Till the minute I land the peak

Composed consistent and constant my step
Though sluggish on paths steep
But dare I think of sleep
Till my hunt, my fingers grip

Enough the lessons of time
Time to act by my palm
My dream block by block to build
Till tall one day it stand

Desires and fantasies consolidate
To me, fuel for wheels to rotate
To deliver me to the dawn of the date
My mental picture did create

Depart with me my lord
On this tempting treacherous road
Till your promise I behold
Like my forefathers(mothers) of old

Silent Night

Pregnant with the future

Fortified Tower

67

Potent Waters

Loose tap turns casual and sensual
At the whims of a carnivore of evil
The devils scenes of a sins festival
Alternate yards with no break interval
No regard of time, title, tribe or tire
Each soaked with equal flare

Trampled public yards to no print
Narrow expansive with folds
Rough terrains and slippery escarpments
If ever by fault it dare sprout
With swift sickles weeds the host

Queuing with drunkards and sluggards
Where the droll, drift and doze off
A generous viral can my take away
A gangrene cold and void heart
Every climax a reawakening reminder
Ferocious flames of the pleasure valley

Grant me the graceful dawn
When I lay sight my anointed lawn
Ready and yawning for my dream
Potent waters get the dam
A place to finally belong
Bring forth one of its own

Shall I speak Out?

When your words cut like swords
And refresh old forgotten wounds
Though over time they seem frozen
A rotten past you cause to awaken

When you make me feel desperate
And I feel the hearts separate
And the love I get I seem to beg
As in dust my kindness you drag

When your presence makes me lonely
And am a stranger to my one and only
When anger eats my inside away
For a sacred trust you did betray

When it gets to my ear
What you do when am not near
My heart smolder in fear
You will deny when you hear

When your stunts cause me laughter
With peers I can't gather
My esteem you cause to wither
And I wish I had known better

When my heart is bent and cold
By your hand am left to bleed
For my life am forced to plead
And I wish I'd drop in speed

When you play again and again
That tune that causes pain
To a dark date our lives return
From a new dawn you restrain

That which is heavy to my heart
And a minute more I can't wait
Though to you it also might hurt
Shall it keep our souls apart

Shall I talk when you smile
And my happiness blatantly defile
And even though it tastes like bile
Shall I hold my peace for a while

Victory Ride

Endless battles bath me in Blood
Imaginary enemies and unsure victory
Like a puppetry drama, out of hand
To my numb hand hand the glory

Desert marathon with no end
The tape an ever moving mirage
Cheered by dust and the scorching sun
On the desert sand pan, my feet burn

Dreams imagination and mental creation
A dead valley, no chance of resuscitation
Iced and sealed in frustration
A ribboned delivery of condemnation

Wadding in the muddy seamless swamp
Swallowed in the silt every second step
Gasping for breath among the reeds
A mucky paradise of the slimy skinned toads

Take me home Yee who claims my soul
I've spent my all and about to fall
Bid me in victory to ride
With my scars smile in pride

If Ever

The bin fills and overflows
All that shone from us withdraws
Till in shadows our state shows
Do the best for both of us
Don't let go the chance

By a mean and selfish action
Am devoid of traces of affection
All fears get a confirmation
Shut out any deceitful memory
An open a new inventory

I utter a word you can't stand
By which our gains seem to retard
And your feelings totally disregard
Don't give me an ear
Or wait to wipe my tear

I take you to a strange place
That takes away your peace
And stains your soul with disgrace
Resist not the nearest exit
Bother not whether I exist

The sun rises but darkness delay
And your heart can't take another day
However much you try you can't stay
Don't let the sun set
While still in my nest

Divinity

I surrender to this divinity
Real fiction and fake reality
Existing in amorphus anonymity
For I a humble humanity

He turns the earth and buries a nation
Tearing plains beyond imagination
Yet creates spectacle season after season
A different face for every generation

He creates icons for pure admiration
And with pride heroes rule the earth
Like a tiger He tears them down
Fame and reputation He bring to ruin

On a face He fixes a smile
That calls all home from a mile
In darkness flips the same heart
Like the venomous viper to bite

He hides sanity in ignorance
Yet death at first chance
He secures serenity in innovatiuon
And the flipside pastes destruction

He bleeds eaglets with expectation
At their door step delivers recognition
In a flash their wings he clips
And a glorious genious star flops

He sends the sun to drain the plain
Thirst, dust and disease clog the lung
Then sends rain to relief the pain
And helpless breathless mortals to drawn

He snaps the life of boyant infant
All sorted out including insurance
Leaving a senile in perenial want
To live on the edge to his bonus

For a humble servant of mere chance
My curiosity I dare not advance
What am I on the earths face
For in a breath he can erase

The Devils Farewel

She set out to turn
Back to innocence return
Just one more indulgence
One final appearance

Invited devil and angels
Came in armed to all angles
Offered even the untested
What she had never tasted

Drove her to the climax
Not a minute to relax
And left her a trophy
To beat any in history

By the devils departure
She was more curious and eager
If ever that was her last
Only the devil knows best

Whoever idea that was
Only made things worse

Today I Met Mary

Today I learnt to drive
And thought about love
Today I met my cherry
She made my heart merry
She has beautiful teeth
A dimple on every cheek
Her smile is wow
I wouldn't miss that! How?
She's strong
She's fun
She blushes with a few maps
She's chocolate beautiful
Loves ice and chocolate too
Her touch is soft
Her voice low and soothing
She's bright
She's lovely
It got me thinking
For what am I waiting
Delivered with a ribbon
Its a beauty and add on
My cherry is Beautiful
Very beautiful
Am not letting go
And will let her know

Prayer of a Blessed Man

Ever present, All knowing, Almighty
The source, reason and result of all
From Thee my abundance did fall
Let for Thee I only but control

In my indulgence bid never to fall blind
Or the road of the wicked ever to ride
Your purpose and divine plan to abide
And your face from me never hide

Open my eyes to those in want
A kin in lack never to forsake
To comfort and never be arrogant
And to give not for return sake

And when the trumpet sounds on my day
With my accounts I head your way
Courageously confident to your throne
May I walk to receive my crown
Amen

A Journey To Perfection

From the crowd I was chosen
On the year, the month read seven
Today, the African year twenty ten
On twentieth, the year struck seven

On the mark of perfection
I turn to Thee in benediction
Henceforth to be a new creation
A new spirit your affirmation

Before Thee I lay prostrate
I bid my life to consecrate
I pray my vows never to forget
From Thy path never to depart

Like a novice I re-answer Your call
Afresh I offer my all
And along should I ever fall
To your Grace Your child recall

Like Your handmaid and Mother Mary
Let Your will be on Jean Marie
To firmly journey with my rosary
My Consolata to Eternal Glory

This far my Lord its You
Your promise for sure is true
The rest I surrender to You
All glory to none but You

Please Call Me

Do you sometimes feel lost and all alone
Or long for a soul for whom to belong
Do you gaze all day at an empty horizon
And feel the wait is way too long
Please call me

Do you stroll by the road to hours no end
Never sure where all this head or end
With nothing really cooking in your mind
And just smile alone as you cross the road
Please call me

Do you sit on a stone and listen to birds sing
Juggling the cell in your arm, hoping it ring
Think of the distance and wish you had a wing
And do not notice as you soak in the rain
Please call me

Do you lie down and in fantasy fly
And draw images with stars of the sky
Can't help thinking however much you try
And the feeling sometimes make you cry
Please call me

Does darkness leave you in fear
And only wish to you I were near
Is there a thing you want to hear
And by a chariot you want me here
Please call me

And when the day draws to a close
Do you lie restless and in bed toss
And only wish I were with you close
The last feel as darkness enclose
Please call me

Does you bed feel too wide
And dreams weird and wild
You dream I am by your side
Upon wake, I seem to hide
Please call me

Ever feel something you don't know
A feeling beyond heavens and below
One more than your heart can allow
Give me a call and let me know
In a second with you I'll be
For you are the world to me

Blade of the Torent Field

Still darkest before dawn
Waylaid by figures unknown
Claws like sharp daggers drawn
Chilled to silence and steel frozen
Darkness biting and long hours
Intimidating stillness all to despair
But neither did your soul scare
Or for a second despair

Just at the break of dawn
All swords drawn, the sun rose
Energy reserve with vengeance drain
Thirst and heat to edges toss
Not even once did you dare blink
or an inch your flair shrink
In solid courage your fate you face
No taint or trace of fear on your face

Wild winds whistled your way
From the earth your face to erase
Unmoved by threats and inflated stunts
Still stuck, an inch didn't tilt
By your side they shamefully brushed
Not a mark of a simple bruise
A decorated soldier you stand
A hero, for ages to be told

Clouds gathered and thunder rumbled
Lightening set horizons alight
Hails shred the leaves thin
Floods pooled to sweep the field
All artillery buried in the mud
To launched they famed attack
And the minute they were done
You stood firm like a morning blade

As the day drew its curtains
And soldiers return home
Tall among them you stand
A soldier who has won it all

Lifeless Hive

Fifty five after eleven
The date July Eleven
The whistle took the life
Off the giant Soccer City

Bee Flat fell flat
To the world, the nuisance gift
The elephant trumpet fell silent
Sedating the surmounting giant

If ever, came and is gone
If ever it will ever return
Not my time, maybe my son
And then will be strong to win

Bee buzz out of the hive
Taking away all it life
Will they ever return
Of course when its season

My Dream Lives On

Floods did rage the land to death
Turning and taking everything on its way
To show her might and strength
Over anything with and out-of breath
But never would it cause to bend
The dream down my heart

The sun arrived on its turn
Blazing like a vengeful foe
To churn and char to ash
All that dare rise
But never would she cause to wither
The dream down my heart

Clouds covered the sky over
Hanging a haze the land over
No light from the horizon
Never again to lead the way
But nothing could chill the dream
Deep down my heart

The night then struck
Dark and dead
Not an inch could I move
Along my laid truck
But this too didn’t choke
A life off my dream

I hold high my heart
And wedge forth to tomorrow
For nothing stands in the way
Of the will of my dream

I will Rise

Not for the sun that rose early
Or the eagles that rule high
Or clouds sprinting across the sky
That know not where or why

Not for the ants clawing by
Or the snail that seem to try
Not for riverbeds long dry
Or reptiles waiting by

Its for a love shone my way
By an angel who stopped by
Having traveled all the day
At my heart she found her sty

Bitter Pepper

To always tell you about tears
Every minute, nothing but fears
Even when I cant cope
Its nothing but giving up hope

It squeezes my every vein
To look back at days gone
Or the laughter that did reign
Like vapour it did sublime

Dreams down the cliff tumble
Glorious memories nothing but stink
Every gaze a python stub
As my breath in slow shrinks

To tell you that my days 're over
And darkness my best brother
That the sun must set forever
Is a thought true but sure

South Africa 2010

Humanity in a sea
To watch me dare be
A dream, imagination
Paperwork to admiration
Give me freedom
Take me higher
I need no reason
Its time for Africa

Air Bags

Like the mirage over a distance
So does it feel with every dawn
Promises of a good return
What to say of an empty return
After search and seek around
Its nothing for the future to hold
A plateful of air baggers
A stomach of scaring rumbles

Secret Sacred Chapters

Read for me a chapter from your heart
That which means to you the most
Read what to you is sacred
That to whom you've never read

Whisper to me the one word
That none from you has ever heard
That tastes sweet on your lips
And leaves your heart in leaps

Share that one secret desire
The height that your heart aspire
Say what you wish to admire
Before time your breath expire

Let me peep through your pain
That most stilled your inner vein
Whose memory can never erase
And destiny hate to ever face

Tour me through your heart
To know where it most hurts
And have a share of the joys
That spins your lifes wheels

The Destiny

Its 45 to Githurai
125 to Rongai
To Thika 237
And Mathare 11

Every one marked and assigned
Decorated, designated and designed
Clear for even the blind
And to their own they abide

Please answer my question
With all good intention
Give me the direction
The fuel for motivation

A blank road I dare not follow
Like a blind and hopeful fellow
Only to end in a bath so shallow
With nothing for affection to swallow

Mention the destiny of our ride
Drinks and bites to take aboard
Mark the stage we're to alight
To make certain this daring flight

Bud From the Wild

Pick me a beautiful new bud
From the wild and thorny weed
Take it by the precious hand
To the clean and manured yard
Where hibiscus bloom and roses reign
Preserved and prepared only for a king
For every passing eye to admire
And every dreaming soul desire
Be to me the one soul mate
That makes me feel important

I Denied the World

The day knocked on the window
Calling three blankets below
I turned and closed my eyes
Supported with enough reasons
I denied reality

I passed my hand at the back
And got a deal for a buck
Smiling my way to the bank
Though I caused another lack
I denied the system strength

Done with the gum wrapper
I dropped it at the corner
Though it stood out on the street
The thought never made me retreat
I added an inch on the pile
And denied the city beauty

I enjoyed the secret pleasure
And the results am so sure
Though similar like a mirror
I denied ever being near
And responsibility too

I fear the day is near
From myself I wont get near
The self I so much treasure
That dawn I dread to deny

Deep Blue Sea

I gaze at the vast sea
My destiny I fail to see
If at all I'll come to be
Far horizons dare to agree

I look at the blue sky
Am lost and ask why
Everything I dare to try
Only leave me to cry

I push to my very best
Not even dare to rest
Shall I escape the dust
Thick and clogging my chest

Destiny unknown and sealed
To me your secret reveal
Behind your guarded gates
What in lies for me

But not a No

Say any word you like
Like a thunderbolt strike
Make it not a no
For all i care to know

Take your time on earth
Talk to all in depth
As long as you will affirm
What my fantacies dream

Keep you lips sealed
Waiting I'll remain
My hope though strained
On you my heart's trained

Let centuries pass with the wind
Let days come and end
If only what will emerge
Will make my heart glad

Say any other word
Good or satans dance
Only remember to discard
Anything i wont stand

I Come Hoping

If only a hint or peel
Of what in your heart you feel
Just to let me know
You logged and saw
What I meant you should

When I Tumble

To you I silently swore
To be your only and more
But at times I tumble and fall
Be my wake up call

Sometimes I am frail and weak
In my strength I only break
Your word is all I'd take
My path and strength retake

I pray daily for strength
To run and not loose breath
Every trail my feet trend
The path of death to avoid

Miles

Tarmac stretch miles between
Keeping my heart in total pain
Away from my only home
One who keeps my soul calm

She chills in the misty drizzle
Nothing to make the fire fizzle
Though like a needle
The prick is feeble
It dare not make it weak
Neither my spirit dare break

I send the sun by the day
Wind and the clouds when its dark
To take my love all the way
And refract it to me back

Miles mince my heart to meat
Grind it when we're apart
But the flame burns brighter
And the bond grows thicker

Miles mean nothing much
For heavens made this match
Shamefully lie in between
Our heart the battle will win

Yours to have and love
Julius of sweet years

DeAr

I seek from thee a word
To still my waters stirred
Can i tag you DEAR
Every day from me to hear

To you i want to belong
And me for your own
What i feel is strong
The princess of my throne

Let the ears feel the punch
The heart like a bunch
Overwhelming strong weakness
That takes away my happiness

Let me call you dear
And shout with no fear
Sweet for your ears to hear
Because for me you are DEAR

Yours unsure
Julius in tears

Come To Me In My Dreams by Shadaiia

Come to me in my dreams,
So I may show you my world,
Of endless dreams, and bluest skies,
Where hearts are happy, and the soul never cries.
Oh, come to me in my dreams,
Where passion abounds, and the soul is set free;
Where time is but a passing echo,
Of all that is yet to be.
Oh, love please come to my dreams,
So I may awaken a spirit so true;
For in the midst of my world, you'll never again be,
Drawn in by the color blue.

Angel of the Sword

A cold and chilly Friday
Straight at the stroke of nine
As the vuvuzela got to tune
On a dull and cold June
A cheerful tearful Twenty Ten
The whistle blew at the Cape
Wachira took his last gulp
His date with death was Eleventh
A seal of history, to seal his story
The whistle blew his breath away
A dad to our hearts near
A father to our hearts dear
The angel did not bypass
Rest in eternal peace

Share

Far away dear
My hearts' in fear
The burden though heavy
I seek to share
If only in words
If it feels lighter

Though new my shoulder
This it can shoulder
The pieces to solder
To make you bolder
I'll be the soldier
In the grass wilder

The bright star
In when night gets darker
The strength bank
When its all hollow
And when the desert bite
Shade in me dear
Feel me near

I want and watch
Break the glass barrier
Let me in
Lets share between

Top on her mind

Deep in her heart
Echoes of her fathers hurt
Too heavy to make her still
And all her energy steal

Running to catch the break
Or breath of him though weak
Lying in renal pain
Tubes on all vein

Ma, my lovely Ma
In my heart you are
Your every minute I feel
The pain driving you still

By your side I will be
Till the end we come to see
Dad, will breath with ease
In your heart will return peace

Be still lovely Ma
God heard you from far.

Then I feel you close

Not like any other
Not that memory can gather
Special the path she entered
Divine the feeling she stired
Then am double sure
This is for real

While you were away

Tucked in between the pages
To secure yours for the ages
I stopped by to say hi
Though i was in a hurry

To me forever you'll be
Every morning a rose to see
So near and sweet to hear
Chase away any little fear

When you come I'll be waiting
Since to me you are everything
Jealously shall i guard
Till our days are old

Horizon

Far and dull horizons
Whats up your sleeves
How long shall I wait
How many more as bait

Just when the day seem to break
Apart and dust it all breaks
All hope is brought to a halt
As though it never was

Far and dull horizon
When shall you deliver
Anything to hold on
Anything to fall on

Long did you promise
Stick to it for ever
Dull and far horizon
When shall you bear

Long Long Day

Every light on the phone
I hoped was your call
Every beep of SMS tone
Prayed from your scroll

Minutes ticked in my mind
Deafening and counting loud
Hoping Hoping to no end
From you will come a word

Though the day yet to end
Looking before I land in bed
If only a call missed
Or a blank one you'll send

While impatiently I wait
On this wall I do write
That no one date will depart
Without a word from my heart

And when tomorrow does break
Never did my word break
Never in my heart depart
Lest it gets apart

Hope to see the end
Of a day equally dead
For what's in no word
From who is my world

Can I

Call you my dear
Who i want always near
Tell you all the sweet words
Those that you've never heard

Tell my friends about love
That has lit my dull life
Tell the world the little i know
Of a sweet Cherry I've come to know

Call you a dream come true
And tightly hold on to you
Ignite my fantasies
And sweet reminisces

Tell other girls away
That a queen has come my way
Say to you I belong
And mine you are alone

Tell me soon
Can I?

One more down

Time moves on
She gets stronger
She bite harder
She chews more

Now one tooth's down
She Kaiku wa King'uru
Hope she ate enough
To last her on
Till when the last falls
And she laughs by the gum

RIP
Kaiku's third tooth

Let's tell the world

When they see me
They know I'm yours
They know your mine
When they see you
Let every minute count
And every word worth
Let the world know
To me you belong now

Let the hill hear
The joy my heart sings
When to me you're near
The smile it brings
Any one who dare cross
The path together we'll set
They touch their wooden cross
A journey of death they set

Let the joy within overflow
And the my fantasy come to be
By the wings of your love fly
The destiny of our love to see
To you I make this promise
Never to bring it apiece

She now knows

I am here to stay
Am not going away
The desires of my heart
And why i won't stay apart
The joy to she brings
And what to me she means
That am here to stay
And am not going away

The deep desire within
That i want her for me
To her my promise to keep
Never make her to weep
Not joule to spare
Away to drive the fear
That am here to stay
Am going all the way

A watchful eye

Darkness threatened
Shadows waiting to pounce
Conspiring with the cloud
The moon hide her face

She watched from the steps
Every one of my steps
Till safely i disappeared
Swallowed by what she feared

I know not while she lasted
Gazing the way i headed
But safely the door i opened
In the darkness her eyes guarded

She has done it

A heart wild and breathless
Eyes cold and restless
Now tame and settled
Still and distroubled
Only since she came
Does it feel so calm

Mental journeys cut short
Wondering eyes tethered
Gorgeousness pass unnoticed
For no day passes untainted
By the thought of late created
Out of simple words passed

By this current i choose to go
Though the end am not in the know
If her eyes say the truth
And her mouth by every breath
Then on board i am to stay
To sail the boat to a golden day

Waiting for Today

Today i feel nervous
Unsettled than all others
Every word i pose
Just begs a response
I want to see the ring
He who came first did bring
And if it dare exist
A fight i won't resist
For this jewel i did find
Forever with her to abide
Today my heart i psych
A compass question to ask

Meet Her

She's lovely
She makes me Lovely
She smiles
She makes me smile
She is shy
I don't know why
She has dimples
In my heart are ripples
.... is her name
For my own i want to tame

Do you long, from that long?

Do you long for the sweet thoughts
Yet to turn in to beautiful words
Do you miss the warmth between
The fingers cold and waiting
Do your ears miss the sweet voice
Like of the birds so nice
And your eyes yet to see
The handsome piece i am
Do you miss me
And long me to see?

Lets Begin

The sun is up
For darkness its time out
The wind is running
And the clouds racing
Its no time to slumber
It strength to gather
And the journey begin
For the cross line to race
and the midway enjoy
Lets take the journey
