DIARY OF A FALLEN WRITER.
Though blood is still streaming in motion,boiling in my veins,urging this youthful body on,am afraid my spirit is under the attack of fatal infections;loss of vibrance,inspiration,zeal for life and severe lack of appetite for adventure!
Fall has engulfed,barely sipped my summer cocktail.Am clouded by fog,i see neither light nor an end to this tunnel.
The beats are loud and clear within my soul,but i have lost rhythm.Forgotten are the moves,i keep stepping on my toes.
My heart and mind are frozen in time,am a breathing shell,a faint soundtrack of once was a great...

SIMPLE WISDOMS
Innocence of the young ones
Diurnal motion of flowers towards the sun
The instant joy of a woman after the last push of gruesome labor
Transformation of an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly
Impartiality of love
The four changing seasons

BORN TO FLY
I was born to fly
Dance on top of the skies
To thrive in this life
Reach heights and high.
Tired of dark circling my eyes
Am letting go of present and the past
On to the next chapter
Am freeing my soul.
I was born to shine
Rise after every fall
To lead and pave way
I was born to reign.
I was born to fly
Dance on top of the skies
To thrive in this life
Reach heights and high.
Dance on top of the skies
To thrive in this life
Reach heights and high.
Tired of dark circling my eyes
Am letting go of present and the past
On to the next chapter
Am freeing my soul.
I was born to shine
Rise after every fall
To lead and pave way
I was born to reign.
I was born to fly
Dance on top of the skies
To thrive in this life
Reach heights and high.

IK MIS JE. (I MISS YOU)
10 o'clock East Africa time
Am out for a walk to clear my mind
Beautiful with lots of stars tonight
Is it same your side?
I wonder What you doing right now
Are you out with friends after a good day at work?
In the kitchen making rice and chicken,Rico style?Haha!
Or are you stuck in the office designing another firewall?
Incase you on the net surfing through
Googling my name see what i been up to lately
You right on time baby
I been missing you too.
I miss our mornings as i review the paper,you on the train,we talking...

CONFLICTING EMOTIONS.(#FreePalestine.)
Three travelers are having breakfast at the halfway home cafe.
"Ever since," Says the captain,"I take my coffee black.You know how it is,when you go black you don't go back!"
The soldier said,"Make it white,extra cream!"He winks at his comrade and proclaim,"When you go white,nothing else seem right."
Table no.3 at the corner call out,"Refill please.Straight Mocha!" He lifts up the mug,beckons the fellas and say."When you go brown,you get the crown!"
Haha!Yes i know.But that does not necessarily make them racial!It could be preference or even...

(3 HAIKUS ) FIRE,RAIN and WIND.
FIRE~(HAIKU)
Courting darkness
while mating oxygen.
Cumming in flames!
RAIN~ (HAIKU)
Falling lazily
caressing air,space and land.
Dripping wetness!
WIND~ (HAIKU)
Cruising from the east
ruffling leaves with the breeze.
Purifying every breathe!
Courting darkness
while mating oxygen.
Cumming in flames!
RAIN~ (HAIKU)
Falling lazily
caressing air,space and land.
Dripping wetness!
WIND~ (HAIKU)
Cruising from the east
ruffling leaves with the breeze.
Purifying every breathe!

STOMPED.
You were my pleasure,then came the pain.
Your hapiness;was my rage!
You gave me serenity right before the raid.
If you set me free,why do i feel caged?
You were my high,explains my downfall.
In you i found a treasure; it's no wonder am a wreck!
You were my dawn and now am doomed.
I made you my mission,the reason am so lost in yesterday.
You were my home,sad we went cold.
Now that you are gone;am burning!
You were the question then and you still the answer.
Yet either way,am just but prey.
Your hapiness;was my rage!
You gave me serenity right before the raid.
If you set me free,why do i feel caged?
You were my high,explains my downfall.
In you i found a treasure; it's no wonder am a wreck!
You were my dawn and now am doomed.
I made you my mission,the reason am so lost in yesterday.
You were my home,sad we went cold.
Now that you are gone;am burning!
You were the question then and you still the answer.
Yet either way,am just but prey.

SONNY'S FIRST GIRLS LESSON.
Sonny came home yesterday so frustrated
"Mum, girls are so complicated
Yesterday Lisa gave me this shoe laces
today she won't speak to me and i don't know why."
Oh Lord!The agony in my son's face
"Saddle up Jr!" Came a mused voice from the den.
Am a forty year old men and yet to grasp the concept of a woman!
Your roll coaster has only began son!"

SUGAR AND SPICE
Let me tell you some some bout my girl Wendy.
She a little short with a very loud laugh
Reckless,wild with a peach of immorality
Pride coated with class and elegance
Graced with flawless beauty
Spontaneous,mirthful and a classic intellect
She is what you and I call sugar.
But that’s just a perfected picture in the frame.
Concealed are the bruises of wars fought
Open wounds lay in secret places
Sorrow loss and sadness deeply rooted
She is a glass broken too many times
Sugar coated with spice.
Someday somebody will...
She a little short with a very loud laugh
Reckless,wild with a peach of immorality
Pride coated with class and elegance
Graced with flawless beauty

Open wounds lay in secret places

SOLARIUM DAYS.
Monday to Sunday 24.7 we were love and sparks
Good times got us through the rough
Wealth and sadness we shared
wherever we were made no difference
so long as we had each other,we owned the damn universe.
Reckless caress in the streets
French kisses they too adored with cheer
Beaching nude in the afternoon
Haha!Stary nights making love on the yard...
Oh hail the felicity and bliss that once was.
Maybe we grew old or too familiar,perhaps?
Or is it the extra pounds and the marks of honour our babes begot me? ...

YOU REMIND ME OF HOME
Music never felt so rich in vigor and rhythm
till you took my hand and led me to the dance floor.
Sunshine was superseded the day your raw fingers ran over my almond skin
Sex and romance was okey until you showed me the true meaning of good loving.
Life was mere existence until I drank from the well of your wild and wickedness.
You remind me of a faraway place I once knew
loved and belonged.
A place where two wrongs would make a right
Where defying logic and inconformity to status quo was usual recommended.
You remind me of home.
