Merlin Mwaura Poems

I do...
Take your hand from this dark abyss,
take me out of this emptiness,
keep me from a bloody mess,
...

Clutch in the morn of nine,
a little girl cries her tears out.
'Tis a school gate, wonder where her teachers are...
is this not the much spoken, girl child.
...

We are human all...
No super heroes,
Less angels and more demons
but human all.
...

I have here a virgin in my room,
So pleasant she is bloom,
on my bed sit so cool.
Her eyes dart here an' there...
...

It was morning with a gloomy sky,
Huge greys hovering so high…
Without intention or knowing how,
I found a lady’s eyes, and thought, “ wow! ”
...

Listen to music, listen how it explodes…
Feelings so confusing, how it reaches my soul!
I am lost for a moment, lost in this enthralling whirl,
I am come from an Odyssey, ‘tis ere you a prophesy.
...

Wristwatch…

Wind my wrist,
...

When a neighbour turns on you,
strips your family into pieces,
tears up your home.
Takes your love,
...

Listen…………. Music!

“I love you”
“I love you too”
...

To be Kenyan is to be these…
I went to a local primary school,
Used the same bag for seven years,
It was pure leather from K.M.C. products.
