victor onyango Poems

In you i believe
For a deep sigh of relief i heave
Mercies to me you have shown
All bad fortunes away you have blown
...

An open letter to mama

More than a decade is gone
Since you left never to return
...

Today i woke up thrilled
As the cool breeze from the lake hit my very being
though a little bit misty
The aesthetic mother nature brought
...

Much water has flowed under the bridge
So strong still it is my urge
My affinity towards you it grows
So fast just as the monsoon winds
...

It may have began as an ordinary outing
But ended an extra ordinary pilgrimage
When the two hearts drew close to each other
And the two become one-in love
...

Yesterday was such a lovely day
We bred unity an shunned hatred at bay
Our people gracefully sway
Like peacocks in the harvest of winters may
...

You listen to our sounds
But can never get the message
So you conclude all is well.
We are the birds of the air
...

I know i should not go
But i still go
Is it my id or ego?
It indeed pushes me so far
...

I always long to be your shadow
That never leaves your side at all the times
Assume you shape when it goes dark
And gracefully walk by your side when its bright
...

An open letter to papa

I want to think all is well
Because in our hearts you still dwell
...
