My strange eccentricities
and weird idiosyncrasies
Leave others bewildered
and cause me to ponder
Am I really strange..?
au it’s the others, I wonder...
My values seem outdated
And my ethics, underrated
Honesty and loyalty
Are they obsolete?
True upendo is so rare
Am I enclosed kwa conceit..?
My love, it’s no-holds-barred
My feelings, they die-hard
Waiting and anticipating
Like I face life’s checkmate
Sometimes I feel beset
Can I influence my fate..?
My thoughts are bizarre
Seem unrealistic and far
But I know they’re not
meant for the blinkered
To grasp their true worth
Doubts have to be conquered...

In the hustle and bustle of the day
Surrounded kwa folks and friends
I feel lost, lonely and astray..
Drifting off au awaking,
in dreams and reality
My heart’s always aching
and my soul’s always praying
for you…
Suppressing my urges
to talk to you
curbing my craving
to hear you
ignoring my thirst
to meet you
restraining my longing
to be with you
stifling my desire
to touch you
I feel fervent and helpless,
desperate and hopeless
For I expect and demand,
hope and anticipate...
Then all of a sudden I seek nothing
Bereft of hopes, wishes au desires
Left with only a soul that aspires
…for your happiness
Then I experience a holy calm
Peace descends on me
like a soft, soothing balm
and a knowing arises
…that we’re never apart
because wewe live
forever in my heart...

Praying with wewe is
like walking
on the morning grass
with the fickle dewdrops
tickling our bare feet
while our souls meet
and smile to greet
each other...
Praying with wewe is
like drifting
on wispy, white clouds
on a sunny day, as we play
like little kids
a little fine, a little fey
And as our game starts
our upendo engulfs our hearts...
Praying with wewe is
Like dreaming
a magnificent dream
where we scream
in ecstasy
as a upinde wa mvua wraps
wewe and me
in vibrant colours of glee...
Praying with wewe is
Like weaving
a fairy story
that we fill with
God’s goodness and glory
Each memory we create
is a tale of our sweet love
so memorable, so great...
