Slave To Your Bosom Poem

I do not want to leave your bosom

As I am afraid of getting lost in this dark world

The pillar that holds me together when I am broken

Every time I leave your chest

It is as though my life is slowly ebbing out of me

Like smoke from a chimney

I lie awake to watch you sleep so that I cannot miss your heart beat

The scent of your masculinity keeps the feelings I have for you intact

You smell so divine

That my nostrils celebrate your presence

Like a flaming tree in a desert, your bosom pulls me in

Catering to my every need

Love has never been easy to understand

Your bosom made it easy to translate and interpret every feeling

Raindrops bounce majestically off your chest

As they slither across the contoured muscles that are yours

Every curve speaks of its own story told ever so carefully

To keep it from being a classic

As I put my ear next to your heart I hear music that soothes away

Pain

Disastrous moments

Exhaustive emotions

Teary eyes

You have perfected me in the way that you hold me on your bosom

Stormy nights are weathered when your arms are around me

Desert days are cooled off when your arms are around me

I am never leaving your bosom as I am a slave to it

Jungle Acapella Poem

I want a memory that lives beneath the skin

Explodes on the lips that are in love

Listening to the sound of the night

Waiting for your love to be alive

I want to hold you close under the rain

And kiss your smile, and to never let go of you

For forgiveness sake

Sing a song for me at the waterfall

I don’t deserve any tears that come from your eyes

Yet I wait amidst this jungle for my groom

Because the pieces of my heart that remain

Are too fragile to be broken again

One day I know my heart will cease from crying

Like native tribes inside deep seated moss filled thick jungles

Beating their drums

Dancing their local songs, chanting in their masks

Ripping the silent air with their ululations and cries

My heart has not yet settled quietly

Acapella music is what made me understand your sense of loving

Sleepless nights caused me to have continuous thoughts of loneliness

I did not see the good in the beauty of a sunrise

Or the magnificence of a sunset

I avoided distractions as I tried to decongest my spirit man that was restless

I needed a prayer for the breakthrough night

When I had to provoke happiness that eluded me

I could still hear the plants breath

The dew granting me access into its immortal beauty

Like time in a split second stand still

The wind brushing past my cold cheeks

Causing my eyes to blink more than once

I feel the jungle Acapella making the hairs on my skin to stand

Alone Again On Valentine’s Day Poem

Your non-condescending love was

Intoxicating like freshly brewed tea

Or the aroma of fresh roasted ground coffee

I have become a shell of what I used to be

Reduced to ashes by tumulus emotions

A turbulence that has reaped through my soul

To put all my feelings into the captivity

Of a deep dark and bottomless hole

Everything I want everybody else has

My dreams turned into naught, tear by tear drop

I lay on the floor like a woman in labor

Tormented by the aspirations I had

Everything I believed in, everyone I hoped in, all gone

I am alone; life is not there for me to turn to

My heart beats too fast for me to catch up

I feel so hollow, full of nothingness

What does my pain say to this world?

Heart wrenching emotions grip my chest so hard

I cannot focus as things have all faded away

I want to lash out at the dark try to catch the noise

With my bare hands every second I can’t breath

I die alone drowning in my disappointments

Let downs, chaos, loses caused by a bereaved heart

Merry no more as I am a failure at love

My heart ceased from beating, even love won’t come to me

A day for love has turned gloomy and heartless

Feelings have been frozen in a cold tear drop

The skin icy cold from blowing winter winds

I am thinking and thinning out into a non-existent realm

As once again I am alone on Valentine’s Day

It’s 2am Still Sleepless In Nairobi Poem

 

There he stood

I had always heard of desperadoes

Seen them in movies now here he was a real desperado

But without the criminal intonation

He seemed to have been sculpted out of the rarest of ochre clay

Patiently molded into this perfect man

No one is perfect, I know but he was as close to perfect as perfect is

He seemed to smile so effortlessly, it was like a mirage of some sort

I knew I was dreaming yet I was not

It felt like sitting on a cliff or at the highest point of Uhuru Park

Watching as night transforms into morning

The split second where darkness splits into two giving way

To the burnt orange spectrum of light opening up a new mist of freshness

How was I supposed to leave him looking like that?

I love the veins on a man’s arms

Showing he is a protector and he can fight for his woman

His seemed to be endless as they crawled underneath his T-Shirt

I knew each vein had a story to tell

A story that could be written into a thousand autobiographies

Like rivers that start from a source

Knowing there is no place that far where they cannot reach

My eyes were not blinking

My mind frozen in attention

For the rest of my days I knew my heart could not wait anymore

I even wrote a poem in that moment as my eyes stayed glued on him

In my boudoir at night I sat up on my bed still thinking of him

Then I took my guitar and started to play

1 am, 2 am…Sleep has betrayed me and left my expectant eyes

I Won’t Forget Poem

Sitting in the middle of nowhere

Thinking that

Nothing else matters in life

My life boat is my feelings for you

Feelings so great I shudder

Not being able to hold them alone

Your sweet smile

The wonderful kisses you alone can give

In a desert and in a storm

Thoughts of you give me strength

The will to face everything

I am only sure about our love

A love that tickles my heart

We live for each other

Red Umbrella Poem

Truth is

I have been trying to find you

Amidst these layers of a broken down heart

I have been searching for that love

That was so profound it weakened me

I have loved you for so long

It has become a sickening madness in my heart

Yet I love it

I have so much I want to tell you, show you, to give you

Truth is

I have no way of finding your heart

Lost in emotions of anger, regret, disappointments

Everything I have searched for I met in you

I have been alone for long enough

Going for a walk with your hand in mine

Was enough to chase away the urge of running backwards?

Truth is

You are the only man I have loved with no disdain

No immaturity or impatience

Your understanding of the real me

Made me have things in my own way

Learning to let go of unnecessary pains and hurts

Truth is

I keep reaching out to you on a solitude night

Wondering if taking a break from you was a wise choice

I could have fought for our love

Yet I felt like you had already left us

The sands of time have slowly slipped by

You have not been forgotten or wished away

Even when the memories are as cruel as an oncoming hurricane

Your presence is awaited with bated breath

Truth is

I still want you in my life for keeps, forever even

Standing on a lifetime of memories that we had built together

The back drop of a beautiful sunset reminds me that you still are

I miss your embrace that still linger on me

I remember the red umbrella

Where we had our first kiss before the rain began to pour

It was the last Valentines that we were together

I Love You Like Poem

The earth loves it when it rains

Chilled ice cream on a sunny day

Melting chocolate on my tongue

Watching my favourite team win

A mother cuddling her baby

Two lovers waiting to meet

I hate my enemies

Acoustic Soul Poem

Truth is

I have been trying to find you

Amidst these layers of a broken down heart

I have been searching for that love

That was so profound it weakened me

I have loved you for so long

It has become a sickening madness in my heart

Yet I love it

I have so much I want to tell you, to show you, to give you

Truth is

I have no way of finding your heart

Lost in emotions of anger, regret, disappointments

Everything I have searched for I met in you

I have been alone for long enough

Going for a walk with your hand in mine

Was enough to chase away the urge of running backwards

Truth is

You are the only man I have loved with no disdain

No immaturity or impatience

Your understanding of the real me

Made me have things in my own way

Learning to let go of unnecessary pain I did

Truth is

I keep reaching out to you on a solitude night

Wondering if taking a break from you was wise

I could have fought for our love

Yet I felt like you had already left us

The sands of time have slowly slipped by

You have not been forgotten or wished away

Your presence is awaited with bated breath

Truth is

I still want you back in my life for keeps

Happiness She Deserved Poem

Her love had a hold on him

She gave him her whole being

Sat through his every experience

Loved him without a speck of doubt

No shadow of worry crowded her mind

All she wanted, to be his inspiration

Play the strings of his heartbeat

On the beats of his soul

The difference she made to him

Clearly brought out in his life

He was a riddle she loved to figure out

A puzzle that could not be complete

Until the last piece was put in place

Everything that made sense in his life

Was as simple as her being there

He always wondered

How life would be without her presence

She had cried enough

Knew he was the only one

To give her the happiness

She once deserved

I am Only The Piano Player Poem

I play late into the night alone yet still feeling you

Telling myself I have not left you unaided or lost

I had a chance to love you

Yet my fingers would not let go of the piano

Seeping tunes of wordless music because you are not there

I refuse to let go of the moments that made sense in me

My life so divided and sometimes unnecessarily chaotic

My only excuse for not being there…

I am only the piano player

I am doing just fine getting over this heartache

Wanted to love you like nobody else could love

I set myself on this journey that made me need you so much

Up till now I cannot let the grandness of piano playing be

I chose a piece of instrument with no heart or flesh

With no arms to hold me in the middle of a cold night

A piece of wood that cannot give me sweet words or affection

My only comfort is that I loved you on this piano

It knows our deepest darkest secrets that we dare tell no one

Even the moon shied away knowing ours was an eternal magnetism

Words need not be said when my fingers stopped playing the piano

To be intertwined into yours curled into portions of suppleness

It’s the end of the road for my earth song

Tunes of music played by you fade away because

I am only the piano player

My Desert Song Poem

Embrace me my beloved for I panic when in isolation

Dry desert winds scorch away at my shriveled up heart

Sand has grazed my tender toes that curl to stop the burning

The cactus have pricked my most treasured emotions

I can sense a desert storm forthcoming

Nowhere to escape the sudden death of your memories

My lips have cracked for lack of yours that moistened them

Trembling under this unknown icy chill

Almost bleeding for lack of warm attention from your touch

My chest is caving in to try and send away the haunting ghosts

That is your memory within my soul

My arms have been weakened refusing to hold close another

You are the only safety my heart knew

All I have now

Is this photograph that is the only reminder of your existence

My feet refuse to move away from this place we called home

Knees knocking against each other simply because they can

I am a shadow of myself in the midst of cruelty

Before you I was seeping from the cup of never falling in love

I melted in disdain without your intensifying aphrodisiac words

I crave your presence that kept me sensible and unruffled

It is a sudden wasteland… my heart, my mind, my body, my soul

The last song with keys that have refused to play loud

Keeps replaying in my worn-out consciousness

You need to be back before winter steals away my cold skin

I can only explain it this way, that

You have left a barren region where fertility was

I have become a shell, empty within because I need you so much

Battle fields that have been abandoned is what my world has become

Only falling again when I try to climb up

Out of this misery that has become a daily dose of tranquilizer

I swallowed my pride to surrender to your snuggly arms

I want not to surrender to this throbbing in my chest

All I want is to be alright without your suggestively armored kiss

Temperately I take every impossible footstep towards being alright

This desert will not break my resolve of becoming whole

As terrifying as walking blindly without you

Or the torture of sleeping alone may seem

I have won the war of the fear of losing this love eternally

I have been a broken hearted soul for far too long

I will erase it all

At the end of it all, your heart, soul, flesh will no longer be in mine

Keeping You Warm Poem

I will take that chance you granted me

You will find comfort in my confidence

Waste the night away with me

In the morning dusk

The only thing remaining is us

After haunting me with your strength

I am wretched because of your dear love

Scarred with eternal bliss from your smile

Call me when you are lonely

To hold you on this cold July season

Knowing you will not break my heart

I will treat you with respect

This promise I make to you my love

A single song of my heart’s call

Addicted to your signature mystic beauty

Remaining a nameless longing engraved in Opal

I put both our hearts in an Alabaster box

Your love, the one language I understand

Mine speaks to you as an undertone

Richly deserving the honor

Of gracefully residing within and beside you

Kiss Of Life Poem

Breath into my soul

Save my searching mind

Give in to this moment

Let not love become elusive

Life made me faint

Soiled with dark moments

Pictures become deserted

All alone in this desert

I closed my eyes

To give in to defeat

Strength is long gone

Eye lids slowly shutting

As the voice becomes a sigh

Rescue me

Let me not fade away

Like the quietness of the countryside

I listen to your heart beat

Thumping away slowly, slowly away

Under the cool blue sky

Or next to the slow blue currents

I wonder what you are thinking

Is it our love you reflect on?
