Be My Reason

If i can’t be my own reason, be my reason
If i can’t be my own judge, be my judge
If i can’t be my own guard, be my warden

The diary is written of pain and misery
The journal is filled with a resentful past
A painful present is adorned in the subsequent page

The animosity of yesterday
This lie of living the present
Am tired, i want to be free

I want to believe
I want relief
Am tired of refugee status to my life

Did i say my life!
Since it started it aint been mine
It ain’t!!

If can’t be my own reason, be my reason
If i can’t be my own judge, be my judge
If i can’t be my own guard, be my warden

I wanted to live each day smiling
Am crying with a smile now
Lost in a maze of wonder n life

Can’t i be at peace for once?
Can’t a man believe, not be lost?
Or be scared and not be accused?

Question!
Premonition!
Cant find belief

I was scared once
Feared at another
Now am incapable of humanity

Fear! Gone
The smile! Plastic
My guard aint down, yet their aint no war

If i can’t be my own reason, be my reason
If i can;t be my own judge, be my judge
If i can’t be my own guard, be my warden

Be my reason to believe
Like you my reason to live

Radiance of the Music

Upon the one thousand song,
 i had bells ring
the chirps were high
the melody magnificent
then it started,
The voice
the music within the instrumentation
like the weaver bird's song to its endeavored love
the voice of truth in the musical theme
one that propels the dance of the African beat
leading to the maxima of truth,
revelation and art

Upon the thousand song,
The Indian head couldn't stop its dance
or the African his swag
nor the American his hop
Wasn't like hip-hop
or belly dance rhythm
wasn't like the chakacha beat
its glide was.............
words evade me to explain it
the thousand song dear
was one to hold a thousand years on
one that was wished had been

the thousand song
was the rhythmic beauty of your aesthetic voice
it was the radiant light of your allure, n art
don' stop the song,
i may not have enough to afford it
All i got is you
close to my heart
please don move away
Don pull of the song

For a thousand rupees i couldn't buy it
For a million carats, i didn't get close to it
With you, with you the song daily radiates
Only time will tell how long
I pray it be forever

: This is my special piece for you best buddy.

Street Beggar


Each day, he sat by the subway
his palm held out
his eyes gobbling
wishing the sun'd not be grotesque
nor its ray, the hell he lives

he was not born poor
He never lived rich
he grew in the suburbs
His heart was for the sub-ways
loved the truck
Emulated the driver

The sun was too bright
When he was born
Too dark when he grew up
Mild when he dreamed
Lost when he had a life

Hold Mine hand n lets Dance

Yours heart is mine n' mine your's
Your art is my dale passion
My eyes are stuck their
Not a word drift they
Your heart in mine i hold
Not a day, will i let go
your smile,
your smile my dear gives me the passion to live
if your heart, you withdraw
where'd my breath be
i'd not live no more

I got you
You got me
you never alone for our hands never depart
When there, look, u'll see me
When cold, am your blanket
Am the sun so intently warmin'
the moon so urgently lightin'
When in pain
I aint no painkiller
Am a pain warrior;
I wanna ease your heart
keep it bay

Listen;
in peace, am Peace
In war the white sheet
We're in this together
Am your nurse
No pain will withstand
Am your wipe, 
No tear will pass
Your sun, moon
Darkness ain't prevailin'

Word's aint endin'
I gotta stop
with-hold for another hymn;
before i do;
Wacha tucheze chakacha
Au kwa wadele tucheze salsa
Pingine twisti...kumkumbuka Kabaka
Roho yangu kwako iwe
yako i kwangu

Come dance with me

If I wrote you a poem, would you recite it
what if I drew a picture of you,
..could you appreciate it
if I offered you my heart, could you cherish it
what is that look in your eyes,
that look that is so unsettling,
that look that makes me forget to breath!

tell me, if I drew a picture of my heart,
would you still like it
if you got to know my past,
would you still love me
my heart is adorned with the scent of love
i breath the air of freedom,
'coz hope has assumed the office of my heart!

Forgive my inquisitiveness,
it comes with shear cautiousness,
I just wanna know,
if I got hurt, would you nurse my wounds
what if I cried, would you cry with me
And, would you laugh at my silly jokes,
I just wanna know!

Finally, would you come dance with me,
would you lead me in the dance,
dance with me till the break of dawn,
would you dance with me at the lawn,
would you flow with the rhythm,
at the start of autumn...
will you dance with me at my wedding?

i ain't erasin these moment

could i for a moment not sit and think of you
of the moments we've shared
the laughter
the smiles
the life

image by google images


could i for a moment forget the existence of us
tell this being Me! am alone
we're not us
Their aint us, but me
could I?

could my pen stop these writing
these motion that keeps my hands movin
no! maybe then it'll start singin
keepin my feet movin
in dance

could i drift of the star in your heart
the sun in your smile
the moon in your thought
escape to the dark array of me
could i erase it; us?

my pen keeps movin
my heart skippin
i aint stoppin
these thought of color
these fresh fruit so radiant

Child Transit

They moved them like sacks
put them in lorries
awaiting a fate in destiny
a land unknown

engines roared
lorries rolled
headed to southern plantation
where wishes'd only be aspirations

twelve 'n' movin
dreams of tomorrow distant
sugar'd grow on their heads
cotton
warm, comfort,
raised by the braw of they
not in wish
forced!

she had a mother
A father
they'd trade her for blankets
blankets of green paper
hailed in the epiphany of fate
Not in wish
Forced!

"Protect me
Hail mother
Guide me, leave not me"
sayin in curses
For the day these words be
life'd have reached destination
fate
Gone!

Thought it was gone
it's just startin
movin with change
hidden in winds of economy
lost in dichotomy
tomorrow aint change
if you aint done it now

Child Transit!!

An estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour - one in six children in the world. Millions of children are engaged in hazardous situations or conditions, such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes, labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations.(UNICEF)

Give

give me one word
i'll give you a thousand

give me a song
i'll give you the notes
the tunes, the rythm, the dance

give me
your heart
n i'll play the riddle of life
More than ferries could ever tell
or stories narrate

give me life
with the beat of your heart
the charm in your smile
the melody of your voice

don' say no
You already know

Always

Sometimes we wish day's would never end
Moments would be still
hours stagnate
Minutes derail motion
seconds pause

Sometimes we wish
we'd remain in that state
listen to that voice
read that word
hear that beat
dance that rythm
on and on and on

In your presence i do;
Distance aint no deterent
Time aint no spec
Life aint no jitter
n words aint stopping
for the beat's on
in rythm for your heart

if winds i could send
they'd deliver my word
deliver my smile
my joy
my pride of having you
but nature spell its out
listen, you'll hear
watch you'll see
Am there......

It's dedicated to you....always my friend and companion

How unfair thoust life be!!!

Maybe tomorrow wasn't meant to be
today was to last forever
Maybe the year after isn't really there
we still leaving our past

i refuse to let you go
You can hear me;
even from the depths of the dark
i know you can hear my love lament
though hidden deep beyond the content earth
tomorrow never got there
we still-in today
its all a dream
please tell me this

I'm bliss
the Sky's turned black in hate
the winds laughter;
their laughter's
like hyennas parrade choir

How am i to believe your departure
After the promises
Promises to be together
To light the romance candle together
Watch the rise of the moon
Dawn with it as downside it sinks
How am i to believe its over

Today wasn't meant to be
Yesterday still is
We're together
