My Miss Beautiful

Beautiful is an underword to describe you,
Oh poor english, give me more words,
Dont envy me you lexicon,
I need words with virtue and weight,
Every lexicon I have opened,
Should I call her marvellous,
Well I am more than marvelling,
Should I call her beautiful,
She is not equal to others,
Since the lexicon cant give me more,
I will call her my miss beautiful

If beauty was a contest,
I bet she is winning,
Her smile, posture and eyes,
In others, I found it not
My miss beautiful,
Holding you in my arms,
Telling you, you are beautiful,
I denounce English,

A Wayward Feeling

One step at a time,
One time to step,
One moment waited forever,
One forever but no moment,
The tables turning up side down,
The feeling so uncontrollable,
Yet very wrong the anticipation,
It was a wayward feeling

It knocked the doors and i opened,
Too bad we had cup of tea,
It convienced me to believe,
It made me love again,
When im in love again
It meant no harm but it developed,
The wayward feeling

The bridge was so long,
Fear pounded in every vein of mine,
One step at a time it whispered,

Phantasmagoria

The swift movements passing my eyes,
What were they that I saw,
Like roses flying past my sight,
The imagination of a falling man,
Am I falling in love with you,
Or I am falling aside for you,
The images are real yet I doubt

I think I saw you holding my hand,
Yet to my hand I find you not,
Were you ever here my dear,
Or maybe the pictures I failed to deduce,
My eyes are filled with tears,
Should I make them fall,
Or maybe should I flood my vision,
I wont twinkle, lest You vanish away

I saw one that looked like you,
Passing in the fine gardens of lillies,
Did you hear my call,

My Walking Thoughts

In my long search for what my hearts longs for,
The wind did saw me and my agony,
Flooded with tears of something not found,
In this incompletion of my life,
So shall my heart look to the stars,
The hope that nature will do wonders,
My walking thoughts keep the search

Im haunted by the memories every night,
My sheets become so cold,
In that shivering moment Im at unrest,
Outside the window are unusual winds,
I know where im at peace,
My thoughts searched and found none,
Walking and walking, remain my thoughts

Walking up and down are my thoughts,
So unfocused like the phantoms,
Searching your presence my love,
Which I know is ever absent

Its you I love

I was walking in the middle of the forest,
Hoping to see something good from it,
Perhaps a girl holding a basket of fruits,
I spared the expectations of beasts,
The clouds gathered beneath the sky,
Impulsing great fright and panic,
Should i go back home, should i stay?
Indecision tortured me to the bone,
Love when seeked its never found,
Love when avoided it approaches,
The lady i hoped for did not come,
Rain washed me vigorously and intensely

Upon my return without hope,
Cursing love inside out,
Believing love exists but not for me,
I saw a lady with a pure face,
My heart believed but my eyes did not,
Meeting love in the wrong time,
Finding a lover at the wrong place,

The Nairobi Affair

For the love of the African Nature
The eloquence of the eastern Swahili
The springs in the mountains,
Hot water, geysers of nature
Should we go and explore

Me and my love in Nairobi
Walking the roads towards Mombasa,
The diversity we witness,
Mgini, we enter the hot towns
Alipoteleya, the adventures so great
Nairobi, so we shall wed

Mgini Nairobi, lovers under the sun
The safari of two love birds,
Seeing the winds passover
Having lunch with the Loi,
Dinner with the Gikuyu
Lovers in Nairobi are we,
Naomba Nairobi, me and you yes

My Delirious Veracity

I look right and see nothing left,
I look left and see nothing right,
Behold, my delirious veracity
Look beyond the mountains,
Do you see the clouds i see,
A storm is approaching,
Should we fight for survival?
Or shall we face death head on?
My delirious veracity

I see a flood, can you?
I see the waves coming,
There is nowhere to run,
For the place of refuge you destroyed,
This prison was a shelter
Face your fate almost lover
My delirious veracity

I built a tower of strength,
A spirit level in my right hand,

Was it a dream or a vision

In my lonely thoughts i saw,
A woman of purity and tenderness,
Walking towards me with precision,
Holding my right hand with descretion,
Was it a dream or a vision?

My heart skipped a beat,
My eye skipped a blink,
I lost my concentration,
Her beauty none can describe,
Her modesty i honoured,
Her skin so soft and tender,
Was it you or another,
A dream or vision?

Her lips i reached,
The vanillia of my saliva,
The smell of love was in the air,
The distance knew us not,
Was it you my love,

Candles In My Heart

Beholding yourself in me,
Your filaments all over,
Its dawn in my world

Light the candles in my heart,
Shed light upon thee,
Chase the darkness away

My heart is mirrored along,
Reflections and purity,
You brought a luminous

Who then shall put a spark,
Your hands are worthy beautiful,
Light up my heart beautiful one

There was a fire, they screamed
You and I know ourselves,
Light up the candles please

The Past

Looking back, looking at you
Loving you alone not even a few,
Waiting there, waiting for you,
Like a man in a long queue
I knew my love was due,
I sworn not to love a few,
But to love only you

The moments we had did last,
Looking at you, looking at the past,
It was love, it was never lust,
The wonderful momentss in the dust,
And the dances in the grass,
The kisses in the mist,
Yes those I do miss,
The moments of laughter and peace,
With great precision and bliss,
Its the past, never did it last

Thinking you, seeing the past
