PUZZLE OF AMAZE

I envy the courage of nature Opens up to universe enough cure Beauty billed yet its the ultimate pride Nah explicit like the peacock Yet more grand than its own might This the greatness in the hopes of WANJIKU Pity runs when the malauding beings wake Wait for leap year, fill our streets Mighty , envious and empty promises sheets Confuse hungry ones by witched handouts An amaze how easy we fall for The pithy testmonies and yet blank defor The bullshit glitter than the queens Gold Their shots become priceless like the pearls From our rat houses we run to cast The aftermath runs uglier than satan We sleep on misfortunes but talk of hope I don't remember the election but before Yet the cruel post-election I silence And leave the Amaze ......Still a puzzle

KILL MY SYSTEM

How bright the noon rays before sunset Know of the speed in a stream at the source No compare to vast river at the mouth Yet that the puzzle am in of passion The colder it gets , my system despairs The sight blurs and memories fading Your cold ways burn my last twig I miss the vibrance of your pretty visage Yet you widen the gaps to kill my system Unknown how long the twigs can hold So uncertain the count of this silence When the flame of hope will pass the tense Runs strange , but I'll turn this page Break this system, to run its upgrade Hope you mean what you let me see I once loved my system of romance and you Seems I'll survive but in another page Treasure what we share , it comes in handy WHEN THE SYSTEM FALLS DEAD

BACK TO DEVELOP MY HOMELAND

Today they set up mirrors
That reflect their aging Arrogance
 Adopting a stern detrimental line
They alone know what to think

 In the darkness of our universe
 Negatives assume the power of their Original
 Images, Naive termites were unleashed
To feed on the meager corner---
 ---Poles of the globe.

 Didn't they become subversive?
 Metaphors confusing the KIRINYAGA tyres
 That crushed them! Even to pee
 Which youth does not need clearance???

 Who dares to bulge
 The precious days
And give evidence
For hope bereft
Only MAMA endures
  She the GREATEST

 Dear Executives , send me home
I'll give salvage to MAMA again
 She knows my crawl since first step
 My destiny is at the anthills
 An a son from Mt.Kenya villages
 Shame on their complains
 Darkness is the life they give us NEW elites
Claiming capital utility __ now (I) we know
 From your teaching I'll base my Dreams
MAMA you the first and last of teachers
Am coming home, Develop my homeland

TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP

TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP

Can't wait for our time to sleep,
Though I know for me I won't,
in your sleep I learnt today's tip,
on what you love and won't tell

You've been talking in your sleep,
saying things that you don't tell me,
Saying things I never even knew before,
And every moan as you call my name,

I enjoy the fine lazy smile in your sleep,
I enjoy the questions you ask and step,
I enjoy secrets you unravel in all innocence,
And the serene visage you harbour,

I can't try to wake and lose the moment,
I can't tell you else I will keep you in worry,
I can't boast my knowledge and have to explain,

You've been talking in your sleep,
Telling me things you've never said awake,
I know all this lingers in your mind,
And I will love you and wait to hear you say,
Because my love for you crowns my world.
