Poetic meditations

We have forgotten to love, Is it a surprise that we dont have, We have forgotten to live, Just because we dont give, We dont give our best to the rest, we are content resting with our best, Riding down to the grave with those who gave, We smile for a while, Alone, Heaping pain on the generation in tow, But our good intentions are known Deep down in the hearts of our own, We dare care for ours Only for hours Before we go, Only if we could learn, The says of the sages, That a little kindness, In a little manner, Pays the wages, Slays the rages. Random acts of kindness, Often boomerang.

Less of i wish i knew, More of let me try it again, Less of i cant make it, More of one some little more effort, Less of what if, More of bring it on, less of i wish i had, More of now that... what have i learnt? Less of they dont like me, More of i love myself unconditionally, Less of MEism More of for others, For in us, Lies the greatest phenomenon the world has ever seen, Hewn by the hands of the Master, A masterpiece to behold.

sometimes i step aside, Out of my own self, And look at myself. sometimes i wonder who i am, Or what i have, That i should be this way, Feel this way, Or even more be me, Sometimes i want to ask myself 1001 questions, Where do you get the energy, The strength, And the courage to be me? Yet i know the answer i would expect. Sometimes i just sit down, Afraid to step outside me again, For the fear of seeing me in 3dimensions Just Awes me. God's masterpiece!

And when the time came, And when the bell tolled, And when the sun went down, And the moon smiled down, On a lonesome soul, Devoid of smiles and joy, Full of uncertainty and worry, Filled with hopes untold, Deep in thoughts and plans, I knew it was time, I knew i had to, I knew the journey was over, For the moon beckons us to rest, To pause, At least for a moment, From our fares and cares, Worries and furies, Fears and tears, Only for some few hours, A stopover, To refuel once more, For the long voyage ahead, The tiresome flight into the unknown future, A new day beckons, We can rush forward to meet it or Wait for it to meet us, But then it would take us by surprise, The feeble embers of the rising sun, And the fading melody of the beautiful moon, The greenlight to brand new beginnings A continuation of yester cares....

I can feel it, I can see it, I can smell the odour from afar, The melody of destiny resonates in my mind, Though i grope, I know am close, After all the circadian rhythms The rains are sooner than soon Too long have i trodden in the angry sun The soles of my feet blister all over, And the salts slide down my countenance, The hurdles were low for my GIANT heart, The rhythm has been constant, Yet it will still take me by surprise, I can feel it with my hands, My heart, My eyes visualize, And my ears strain no more, How great it is to be at peace.... So GREAT

Will you cry for me when i'm gone? Will you wail for me when i'm done? Will you? Heap all the world's superlatives, All the world's praises, All the world's positives? On a brother soon gone? On a life well lived, On a soul with no foul? Tell me while i can hear. Will you sadly reminisce, On all the good tymes we didnt spare, And shared? All the good things i did did not say? Let bycomes be bycomes, Here i am, Right now is what means all to me, I can use your superlatives, I can do without your negative criticism, I can heal my hurt, If you only let me lean on your shoulder, If you can compliment me now, If you can redeem time, And not wait for regret session; I wish i hadn't hang up on him, I wish i hadn't been so harsh to him, I wish i hadn't taken him for granted, I wish he could have known how much i loved him, Go ahead; Say it, I am all ears!

Flesh o my flesh, borne of my bones, in a deeper sleep i stil lie. Forgeting myself as i await God to take out my left rib n form you, then my heart will lie exposed whenever you'l b away from me. Thus i'l leave the old ones to cleave to you: flesh of my flesh. In this everlasting tender embrace, divinely glued. So today henceforth i call you me and you can call you me For we be twine no more but a pair of ribs shielding 2hearts rhyming in beats n hopes... I love me.

One can only wish and pray Day in day out You present your wishes in tongues Will and make a way Wish and build castles in space You have the right to Were it not there The way to real freedom would be so dim and slim, One would only grope In darkness and bright sunshiny day. My instincts would come in handy Arms would be indispensable.

Its ideas galore, It’s the best park in town, The best school where everyone gets to understand, The hopeless and the hopeful. For the hopeless, The lesson is ‘I’l never make it, I’m doomed to the paupers’ hall of fame.’ For the hopeful ‘hang in there buddy, help is on the way’ Everyone gets his chance to be the professor, the lecturer, the tutor or just the advisor. Yes, Your are right, This is Jobless corner. WELCOME; Hakuna matata. Solace to the les comes from khat, booze or cigars, I choose to dream away the present, And reminisce on the past ‘GOOD TIMES’ If they were ever there. How I wish the hands of time would change course, And cycle retro; reverse to my childhhood days, Days when I didn’t have to worry for nothing. The food, Rent, A roof over my head, No sitting by the phone waiting for that life changing call from ‘The Firm.’ At the corner, everyone is licensed to dream, And the dreams are contagious, Stay away if you are allergic, But I know dre...

Tales of a wondering mind, Wondering in space and time, Place and rhyme, confused at the dynamicity of events Events so spatial, And far removed from 'Everyday life' But so natural in our lives Everyday... As dusk is @ hand, I pitch tent here, Hoping to wander, And wonder More at the Break of Dawn Tommorow, Wander on.

Don’t say No. It was you that I saw in my dreams, Are you not so lovely? So marveled my the men in your Neighbourhood? Dont say No. dont you own the beautiful smile that i saw? The white perfectly arranged milk-white teeth? Forgive me for being so certain, But i am sure it was you Who graced my dreams yesternight. Your melismatic alto caught my ageing ears, Dont say No. No Dont say no, No one else Has such a lovely voice, If i am wrong, please come into my Dreams Again Tonight And i will prove you wrong.

Oh! Happy day, here I come, Forlorn and worn out from yester’ unfulfilled dreams, Bitter memories, And goals shot off target. Yet I struggle with tomorrow’s vision, Hope and better dreams. I dream of a brighter day, Whiles you bright today, Are still here with me. Yet I unnoticed you But since I kick today You Are my happiest to-day.
