(Please do note that these are poems I wrote in like two dakika so yeah they might not be that great...)
***You'll never be alone***
Even through the toughest times
Someone will always be there
If wewe have Marafiki
You’ll never be solo
Even if it doesn’t go right
Even if wewe think wewe might die
If wewe have friends
You’ll make it to the end
Even though it all seems to fade
Receding in the darkest night
Having friends
Makes it all go away
Times may be bad
Times may be good
But if wewe have friends
You’ll never be alone

***No Going Back***
Believe not this lie ive told
I am not who I’ve alisema I am
Everyday I live in this disloyalty
Hurting everyone, especially me
Covered up so much am I
kwa this useless lie that’s mine
That it is as though I had disappeared
Into my very own self
Dispite all the chances I had
To recover what has been lost
I was always blind
But now I see my own truths
The only thing Ive ever known
Has been the pain that must be killed
The only chance I knew to save myself
Was something that would kill me soon
The one thing that could numb my pain
Made it worse everyday
Death would onyesha at my doorstep
Before I had the chance to really live
There’s no going back
No going back
To the siku that I began
To save me from what I am
There’s no zaidi escape
In what I once found paradise
All that is found is zaidi pain
Uncurable
wewe may not hear my screams
But they are there in between
Loud enough that I hear them
To quiet to be noticed
_____________________________
***The Good Times***
Good times always last
Good times never fade
Good times last forever
Never escaping even the farthest grasp
Good times are always there
Each of us knows
Good times are what counts
Never hold it back
Good times for each of us
Has a different meaning
But the concept is the same
Live, Love, and Laugh
When we’re Lost within dark sarrow
All that must be done
Have a good time
And you’ll live to see the end

***At The End Of The Day***
At the end of the day
Everyday
I feel wewe looking at me
Watching out for me
Like I would do for you
And I know
I know
That it’s wewe who stands there
It’s wewe that I feel
And for once in my life
I know where I belong
And it’s in your mind
And in your arms, around me tight
We aren’t that far
From where we need to be
We’re almost there
In our private world
Amazing as it seems
There only seemed to be me
But now there’s you
Forever to be

Forever
Forever wewe are mine
Forever I’ll be here
Forever is what wewe promised
Your moyo is worth nothing
But the your soul is priceless
Forever can be a long time
Forever can be a long time cut short
It’s worth the suffering
It’s worth the sacrifice
To forever be yours
Forever protected kwa your eagle like wings
Forever loved kwa your ocean wide heart
Forever salama in your warm embrace
Forever is worth the wait
To be sliced thin
To stuffed thick
Forever is Forever
Forever is Eternity
Forever is a risk
Forever is a chance
Forever is worth the wait
Forever wewe are mine
Forever I’ll be here
Forever is what wewe promised
Your moyo is worth nothing
But the your soul is priceless
Forever can be a long time
Forever can be a long time cut short

Forever is Eternity
Forever is a risk
Forever is a chance
Forever is worth the wait
preface
if the one person wewe told the truth to all the time was now the one person wewe have to keep it away from, would you?
would wewe be able to lie through your teeth and pray that he believes you? what if he was the one person wewe told everything to, he was the one who keeps wewe from falling apart, but if wewe told him anything he might be the one to bring wewe tummbling down.
if wewe had to chose between lieing to him, hurting him, and keeping him away from you, what would wewe chose? because if wewe dont chose right, he may very well die.

That siku I thought I was a failure. I was sitting outside our house on a bench in my white dress, just staring at the dark sky while raindrops were running down my cheeks. It could have been tears as well, all I knew was that it was raining pretty hard.
As she noticed I was outside, she opened the door and told me to come inside, where it was warm. Her soft voice told me she was going to make some chai for me and that everything would be okay.
I didn't even look at her when I got up and started to run.
The nyasi felt wet and cold under my bare feet as I was running towards the nearby forest,...

I am bored with love
and it's passionless limbs
that drape over my bed
in a lethargic state of impotence
while wearing the same red heart
my soul picked up hitchhiking
off highway serendipity
Now here we are
alone in togetherness
trying to build dreams
with two kwa fours and glue,
but even a home
won't tie us together
when our hearts live alone
Poetic vows cliched
into nothingness
like all words do, eventually
and we allowed our bodies to become another pair of hollow shadows that make upendo to a wall
instead of each other
and we wonder why
the roses are dying
and it's passionless limbs

love bites
A mwaka zamani in my calculation,
A mwaka ago, there were situations.
The same song played now and then,
In my memory, it had begun.
Tears from my eyes were shed this morning,
It was the most tears I was shedding.
My world isn’t complete without you,
My world and I don’t know what to do.
upendo isn’t a toy and never was.
upendo is what wewe cherish and keep as treasure.
My mind is at many topics at random,
It goes normal when you’re in my kingdom.
What ends my bad situations with people
Is my focus on you, my angel.
You’ll always be a part of me,
You’ll always be in my memory.
