SQUINT LOVE

The knock persists in my heart, And as much as i deny, the feeling gets stronger, Is it attraction or affection? All i perceive is i was struck, Struck by unfathomable liking Tis bigger now,tis love My mind however rogue, Has been cleansed with ideas, Ideas blessed ,matrimonial and divine,  I never wanted to love, But her memory grasps my soul, A picture in a gallery only angels command. My eyes gaze in admiration, For she moves like a queen, Dresses like Sheba,the queen of pleasantries, The magic in the squint, I never guessed i'd love, Of all a double crossed eye

BETTER DAYS

If i could twist destiny, And pinch off the angry moments, Refill the voids with laughter, Seal them with smiles,cheerful smiles, Then her life would have been all glee, nd mine full of beautiful seeds. If only we had better days , If only we played ,let alone the fights, I shouldnt have hit her,maybe lessen the shouting, Why i never sent those love knots is menacing, Am going back on my wrongs, If only i could  make them right. I wish for better days, When i can hold her and kiss her, Read and hum ballads aloud to her,embracing her, I wish destiny would reconsider, For all i need is one minute, Only one chance ,one shot at the past, If only to trade the tears with laughter,endless laughter .

KIN OF MY KIN

I felt my antlers twitch, And i saw greatness, Greatness so vast ,it twinkled, I felt the smile,even smirked, And i  knew happiness, Happiness and glee behind brothers. I saw the brothers roll , And my eyes saw a good broth, Visions and powers of blood, Since rameses and moses, But prediction is will though divine, And our love for success is inbound I sought greatness and found resource, From where shall i seek solace? Since the hate is too much, The brotherhood protects me, I pledge all  my innocence and trust, Shall i succumb to indifference  Or shall i ran home to my kin?

TESTAMENT FROM HEAVEN

It was punishable by tradition, Arguably a sin of desire, But my conscience remains clear, It was worth it, totally worth it, Besides what’s love without sacrifice And what sweeter love than risky love It was past a decade, A decade of denial and evasion, I guess we were scared, petrified of ourselves, Petrified at the possibility of a union, But   what   ignorance? For it was divine, a union of destiny It was a beautiful specter When we met, a quiet evening beneath the stars, She stood there tall, proud, a worthy goddess My heart pounding rhythmically, I stood there fidgeting, emotionally mutilated, Then I succumbed to my feelings In the aura of divinity yet I felt guilt, Maybe for long I’d taken, Maybe from breaking barriers, She was my queen, my comfort, And I became her master, her shield, It was a truce, a testament from heaven

FREEDOM

My obsession goes back since birth, I yearned for you, even cried for you, But I guess its in the blood line, For my mother did the same thing, With agility and painful longing, She called out your name, freedom, ooh freedom They said I was too young, That I couldn’t comprehend bondage, But my wings grew too big for the cottage, Then came the restrictions, the constant thrashing, I thought we were equal, Equal to deserve my freedom, my peoples freedom I’ll follow suite into my fathers footsteps, If they kill me then so be it, Besides the ground is thirsty for blood, Blood with a cause ,one too hard to find, do you have to be this difficult? Ooh freedom, my people’s freedom

A LOVE SO PRISTINE

I've been waiting for this moment, Braced my wits,Even prayed for this moment, Today i get crowned,crowned with love, A reincarnation of love,lasting love, A man who became a king, And a great one beside his queen, Today i present my all,a love so pristine. This primula i hold so delicately, A gift I've sought so intimately, To offer to my greatest gift, She always shone so bright Dressed by the rainbow ,a true star I pray this moment be sacred, Today i present my all,a love so pristine My lines will be well said, Lest i get misinterpreted, I will lay my flowers upon the sheen, Even humble and tumble down on one knee' I pray this moment be sacred, For i consummate my commitment and union. Today i present my all,a love so pristine

THE BURLESQUE,THE PEOPLE'S BARBEQUE

Tonight I enjoy the burlesque, the people’s barbecue After a long time of disapproval , Here comes the queue, I can feel the aura of the arena spreading, With the blessings of awakening, They deprived us and stole from us, not for long, not for long, I pray this experience enlightens them Tonight our people will listen, through the accents and assents, our people will finally be free, if not in our ruling, in our decrees! They say it’s a banquet ,A lovers squad, a party to dine and rest, Only I, only I know the rest I pray this experience enlightens them Tonight we’ll sit and wait, Only this time our food will avail, They promised us plates and gave us dates, The curtain unfolds ,the crowd applauds, Its   been along time coming, But our armory is forming, I pray this experience enlightens them

A LOST HEART

Times and catastrophe separated us, Now fate and goodwill has intervened, So the tide brings you ashore, where i waited all these years, Crying my heart out,throwing petals to the sea , To bring you my affection ,wherever you went The numb in my hope is gone now, And i feel resolute, You taught me the essence of love,everything i know, You exposed me to critic,yet protected me, Am retorting unto the winds with a gratitude note, That my words reach you as they're blown your way My intuition tells me your back among folks, Vibrant and hoisted among nobles, Still humble and innocent, You should have sent word,cast it to my home-port, They tell me you're distant,distant in a new phase, But my heart will always beat for you,always KEN  KAGIRI

OF WAR

Naked shame it is, wrong shots they were, and certainly unethical, honoring war scumbags slayers and slave captors with  badges of conflict stones Sad though it is , contemplating and thinking how sick it was blood flowing on the streets. Victory,so sorry, how misquoted, and opportunists,sycophants making most of the loot Tears flow and regrets thrown, when thoughts well invoked and actions wrongly provoked, by punitive warlike measures in the name of power,undeserving respect, That,that i will highly condemn

UNCERTAIN AND PARANOID

My eyes blink tentatively, Unknown danger lurks in the air, and I have to take care, Lest I lose my only flare, My mind craves understanding, any understanding, How’d I get from uncertainty to paranoid? My eyes blink again, I can feel the sudden adrenaline, A gush of fear flows to my spine, Is this a note   of  failure or betrayal, I crossed many roads, double crossed many foes, Now I lay here still uncertain and paranoid. My eyes blink probingly, I dreamt of being priggish, Now am bent,  clad in full blemish, Even roses wilt someday, Perhaps this one will be watered in time, But my conscience is still uncertain and paranoid.

A BETTER GROOM

Am sitting in ma room, Thinking of better days to seek bloom, Better days to enchant my carousal, Trends to occupy my pleas, Then an angel opens my mind, With daisy to give daisy, Upon refreshments of insight, An insight to pleasure and happiness. I hope she’ll take with sincerity, For am tired of lies and lying, I beg for Shakespeare’s help, That I may not be lacking in context, But shall portray my heart, Clear as crystal, to the part in the start, And we’ll flow along with blessings, Till death do us part and torn I twitch and fidget, Lest she becomes gloomy and rejects,  I’ve fought too long, I have to rest, But with my bride on my chest, Grinning with glee, finally free, Free of playful misfits, finally free with the man of her dreams

INTERTWINED

My life is intertwined in love, Happy love, fulfillment love, One that begs for commitment, Goes beyond sacrifice and jealousy, Affection that engulfs all reasoning, It’s my life, intertwined in love. I never thought of rejection, Emotions that would trigger my bitter tears , Maybe am careful, too careful not to hurt , For if I love, when I love, I do it like a woman, with truth and desire And what is sweeter than to be intertwined in love. In spite of all the hurdles, BADOO The beauty in every rose I see, The urge to pluck every lily I perceive, My resilience blesses me with marvel, But grants me contentment in one, My life is intertwined in love. KENNEDY KAGIRI

LETTING GO

I finally found restitution, and consolation, A payback for betrayal  ,a new life, But my conscience won't let me be, Times I reflect on the rejection, She called it infatuation, Dismissing me of downright obsession, I thought of ruining them, Abducting the pretentious lad, And making him cry in fear,, No,  I made out, never too low, Hence losing my dignity? Too low, What would I do for love? Just what? I thought to use guile to outwit him, It pained me to play second fiddle, Trying so hard but unappreciated, separated from love  by fate, I finally decided, am quitting the struggle, To find love by letting real love

FAILED LEADERSHIP

FAILED LEADERSHIP Penance and vanity lurk in the air, while victims hurdle around in pain, Pain and scars so deeply inscribed, It haunts them in their sleep,while the savages,evil animals, Walk around with cheers and impunity. It all began with small dates, Fancy shirts and crafted bribes, Promises of a better tomorrow , Nobody guessed of this sorrow, Perpetrators posing as messiahs, In a bid , little did we know Now were back to single dimes, Once successful now working for a pittance, The faithfuls persecuted.Our wounds torched by deceit, I say enough, enough of this tyranny, Our leaders persecuted us,these creeps sacrificed us, no more pain,we won't take any more KENNEDY KAGIRI   NGUMOH
