Mwenyeji Spikes

When ends swell and hope shines,
I know that that am from the precious wells,
It's so easy to tell with the charm hanging on my neck
Diamonds from Sierra Leone make that side shine
...

ABIDING IN FORGIVENESS

Abiding in forgiveness I recall,
This kind of forgiveness,
...

Body & Spirit

Without a body and soul
All that man treasures would I not wish to have
...

Flowers like Valentine

You always wanted to say it,
Like the epic you only read in novels
...

THE INNER VAULT

I took a vow never to look back
promised myself never to lend an eye
...

I had conspired to conceive,
But instead I got inspired to deliver,
My relatives were sick and tired of waiting
So when I delivered, I gave them something sick,
...

Who could that be?
Knocking at your door but Ashley,
The little dear likes to come to your house,
And play with the trophies,
...

A psalmist playing harp
stumbled on a harp string and broke his nail
Singing praises to a wonderful maker
who makes all beings equally beautiful, and with a purpose.
...

CONSTANT CONSONANCE
Thick beads of sacred sweat trickle down my spine
Sacrifices we made now slowly fade away
Half way we've fallen short of what we hoped we could be
...

ONCE SO OFTEN

Often, I don't get the chance to learn
Neither will I let schooling interfere with my education
...

There is a path to light
Brighter days for our society tomorrow
To extinguish hurt in homes
Broken bonds when we seclude our own
...

CAUGHT UP IN THE MIDDLE

I cast my eyes like a net in a calm pond
Trying to fish out the answers why everybody is caught up.
...

A loud buzz starts my conscience
The noise of a passing housefly
Breaking apart my tranquility that was settled
My head yearns for rest, then sleep
...

I am the one to lock you down in your insecurities
I will not be the one to liberate you from unending struggles with self
I will stand with my head held high
I will ponder all the aspirations concealed beneath your frown
...

OSTIEGA OSTIEGA...
If you could open up your heart to the understanding
that love hurts whether its right or wrong
then maybe you could shelter yourself from the heartbreaks
...

Good vibes she had
She used to come around at noon
and ask what assignment the chemistry teacher had left for us
In the afternoon we would discuss math and chuckle
...

Every time the thought sprouts in my mind,
I recall a path at the back of my mind,
A path that leads me back to her,
In a different world far off where lights shine at night.
...

I heard that you don't give a listening ear to him no more
Well, he is not the first of your allies that you label a friend,
Only to get back at you and bring you down again
...

I simply stayed up late last night
In a decisive state of mind I came to realize,
I couldn't help but stare at this photograph
And now I already done the math
...

When fairly dusty tales fail to add up
We look up to logic for interpretation of starts and riddles
His hallucinations were temporary but his dreams were forever
Something like the village bliss swept over his soul
