I REMEMBER

It was a lovely day..I remember
It was the end of July
And the sun was not a bit shy at all

I remember I had seen you for the first time,
And I looked down at your shoes,
Your laces untied, you wore no socks,
And somehow it looked as if you wanted it that way

I could tell, by the rips in your jeans,
That you were an artist of some sort
I don't know, you've always had a thing for women,
With bullets  holes in their jeans.

I could tell, by the way you licked your lips,
You wanted my attention and,
I'm sorry to have given you your way,
For the temptation was too great.

You are too fine to be strolling around,
In this dirty air, I wonder how you do it,
It's like, your hair, I hear it and I hear the trumpets
The harp, the guitars, I hear jazz falling off your face.

Let us go for a drive in the milky neighborhood,
You came with me, with cherries in your mouth,
I remember we found a spot on Pluto to park my van,
We'd sit in the trunk, with the roof open.

And the starts trickling our feet.
The gods would never forgive me if I did not kiss you here
But by time I leaned in,
Your lips were already touching mine.

I remember your fingernails crawling up my chest, mg back
I remember the way you treated my body as if it were a garden,
And we would wake up the next morning, 
To drink the Sun's orange juice soaking up.

All the words we did not know how to say,
Since then, I have never met you again,
But I keep you with me all the time,
In my pockets, my mouth,
And the taste of you left a stain on my fingers

THE VOICE

 I just wanted a voice

I just wanted to share. the mad that I am

I think I am relatively crazy and I think that

Everyone has an insane aspect to them


I hated to fall subjected to something much worse to some

I hated the way people told me

What to do with my life and how I should

Go about doing that.


My childhood is gone but the child in me is immortal

I will never have those days

But those days will always have me


I am here to write to dance in the rain and above all,

I will on day leave

And when I do

remember me, remember the blood in these words.

BIG BRO.

Think about you every day,With the faith that one day 

One day we'll meet again,

Hey, bro is me  catching up with you
I dialed up the Lord on my hard life
And I asked him to get me in touch with you

Oh, hey, last night I had a dream that you fell through
Know we haven't seen each other in a long while
And they're so much shit I wanna tell you like

Like did you know there's nothing you cannot be
God, you and fam, that's my top three
And did you know we still on recovery
Cause when we lost you, we took it hard
I admit the same, it shook my heart
But you're the reason why I looked to God
And I wish,
That sometimes I wouldn't feel like this
So I had to write this  for the one that I miss
Bro I know,
That you will be with me everywhere that I go
So my angel, help me fly, until we meet on the other side
I still see you like it's yesterday,
And I remember on a day when you came home
That I was so thrilled I ain't know what to do

I remember you holding up my little head 
Thinking one day I'd do the same for you
But I guess God had another plan for you
Can somebody please tell me why
Why it's so hard to say goodbye

Keep my head up, I swear I try
But I think about you every day and cry,
Then I wipe away the tears, look up and smile
Cause I know you looking at us.
We celebrate you today and i just see it like  yesterday
And now 12 years since you went to live with the Lord
We miss you so very much.

DEAR MAMA

 Mama I want to thank you

For sharing your blessings upon me 

Taking time to understand the lady I want to be

This cold world had me num the pain like novacaine
Till mama sat me down unfold the gate
Showed me the straight path through the narrow lane
Sunshine after rain the joy of pain

Mama you raised a good girl don't worry
You  say take it slow girl don't hurry
Use to tuck me in with the bedtime story
Now I grown up and you still there for me
My shoulder to lean on
You keep my dreams going,

I owe it all to you me now I got the green flowing
And I'm going always be yo baby
And I can't never repay you for all the things that you gave me

You raised me to be a lady
And you scoot me to the game
You are more than a mother you was a friend

The greatest love of all comes from within
I know ill never know love like this again
And beneath my wings you was the wind
I love you like none other


Being there for me through the thick and thin
More than a mother your my best friend
Look within and take yo place
Sometimes I want to run to you
Through the ups and downs I know I can still come to you
I think bout the things I done to you
But through all the drama I know I'm still number one to you

Look at how far you brought me
All the things you have taught me
Money couldn't bought me
You never wanted us to make the same mistakes
When the game got high and they raised the stakes
You was still in my corner to press the brace

Till I'm ready in your arms you kept me safe
Through the thick and thin I'm going be there for you
I say a prayer for you

Lord knows I care for you
Through hard times we got strong or mother to daughter
When I was weak you was my bridge over trouble water
Can't nobody replace you
I'm forever faithful

For you mama I'm grateful
Your baby girl is a reflection of you
I thank the lord up above cause he blessed me with you, 

I love you like none other
Cause you can live your whole life but you can only get one mother.
To You Mama....HAPPY MOTHERS DAY..                                                     LORNA NDUNG'U

SPECIAL

We've all been told,
that we are special
But no one really believes that, you know
I think there is something.
In that being human, we never figure it out,
And sometimes we pretend to,

Other times we hid behind our pillows, music, rum and the drugs
And people will label music addicts and imperfections
While they took, try to figure out
What makes them so special

I think the moment we realize how special
We really are is in that last breathe,
And you suddenly conclude,

I was here, I existed now, and never again
I know this, because I have died many times
I died so much, I am not even me anymore.

HELD

So this would be what separated,
Us, what would keep me,
Tasting my own skin,

For weeks, thirsting for what I knew,
Wasn't good for me . with the salt,
Of the air in your hair,

The sea was made to breathe
And I would hold it in my lungs
Until they collapsed, just to delay drowning

ON THE OUTSIDE

You're from another world,
And I'm trying to convince myself,
This is more than just another,
Discovery for you.

More than exploring your sexuality,
Because I'm not satisfied
Being inside your body.

If you won't let me inside your bed,
You're a creature of the equator,
So maybe it's in your nature.

To be cold so far from home,
Still I can't help but think,
You would warm to be the idea of me.
If you knew how often your mind
Was on me.
