A SCHOOL OF SET BOOKS

I will cross the River Between to reach you
Do not leave me because Sitaki Utengano between us
I want to see you for only Half a day
because when the sun goes down
I won't be able to witness Damu Nyeusi

And that is why we can travel overseas
Because i am the Whale Rider
Hata Kama ni mali, utapata because mimi ni Mstahiki Meya
Your love turns my emotions into Shreds of Tenderness

And you will be The River and the source of my heart
That is why i will always fight for you even
If it means being an Enemy of the People
May the Lord guide us and help us
Never to turn our backs to each other
to bring Betrayal in the City.

LOVE AND ISSUES

I just wanted to let you know that i love you
when sometimes i act stupid and stubborn it doesn't
change the fact that you're in my heart and i can't
bear to see you heart, much less because of my own doing


I can't hurt you because your hurt is mine and you're the
joy mine.Hope the love we share can be strong enough to
wipe out all my sill mistake and i can see you smile at me again

Forgive me of my silly doings and you heart in me shall be at peace,
but never forget that that you are always in my mind and heart.
Remember that; I LOVE YOU BIG....

MY HUSBAND HAS GONE

My husband has gone
to where fate takes me
he's gone and left me a widow
and gone with everything of mine

I have heard other laugh
laughing with their husbands
but mine has gone
and has left me a pauper

He told me he was going to home
in the mine of honey
i have heard other people say
that prostitutes expose their private parts

I have seen others go to the swamp
to look for perfumes
why should i go there
when my husband has gone?

(courtesy from the web)

My husband has gone
and has taken the reliever of loneliness
that stick of manhood
which drives the coldness

I have heard others laugh
i have seen them shimmering
they spend the nights wriggling
and shaking their bottoms
but i have become a widow
i spend the nights trembling
embracing the mats,

THE SPRINTER

I heard your voice
echo through the reeds
i saw your shadow float

on the water i felt your scent
come through the scent
i saw your image
in the dream

i saw you run on boulder rocks
and laugh with cattle egrets
and the kisses and i sprinted
but where were you to be trapped?

FACTS ABOUT LIFE

Many things happen in life

For many of them we have to strive

Like keeping up with people

Who are sorry to say; our assets

They get us angry

Sometimes we do hate them

But there's a painful fact

That they are there to stay

So many time do you cry

Asking God why such a position

But sorry to say

Somethings are just meant to stick

It looks like bad lack

at times it gets to you

You wish you could kill them all

But there's a funny fact about life

pain you must undergo
