Michael Wamalwa Poems

Marriage
A union initiated
By father
Of heavens above
...

Death,
A stealer you are,
Happiness,
You rob and deny,
...

Corruption,
A vice so loved.
The voiceless,
Suffer in its hands.
...

Life,
A gift from God,
Respect,
And honour it deserves.
...

In the dark,
The core of the night.
When all the creatures,
In dreamland they dwelt,
...

Knowledge,
They say is power.
Its light,
Is bright and glittering gold.
...

In your arms I lay,
Innocent and calm,
A dove I was,
My presence
...

My heart skipped,
When my eyes,
Your golden eyes met,
In triumph,
...

Honesty,
A virtue so precious.
With it,
Lives are saved.
...

They entered the field
their bodies with enthusiasm filled
the first half they seemed lions
in the second they became zebras
...
