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
