STUCK IN THE MOMENT

I lost her forever

So I thought

Maybe I would never

Never see her again

Or clasp her tender arms again

Gaze at her almond visage

Just for the joy it brings

For gone were the moments

Glorious, glamorous moments

When our lips embraced

To the witness of the trees

Under the purple veil of sunset

To the orchestra of sleepy swallows

Their melodious tunes in the background

Those precious seconds we stood

Not wavered by the haggle

Humbled by the serenity within us

Listening to the racing of our heartbeats

The sputtering of warm breaths

Hoping that it would last forever

Only to end as soon as it started

FREE AFRICA!

 Free East Africa! Free Uganda Unseating the Ankole-cattle patron  Take the reigns from the old order and pass the button  To the youth and to the future  Down with systemic generational nepotism  Burn down the age of despotism  Destroy the old wine skins Because the future is now, now is all we have Give Bobi no pen, give him a gun For if the Nile has to turn scarlet for the pearl of Africa  to glow once more so be it!

Strip my soul down to nothing And bathe me in your joyous embrace In orgasmic spasms I adore the naked truth from your lips And how it turns me on Seducing my ears to words I hold not I rever the euphoria The erection of my hairs on end With every stroke of your speech With every roll of thy tongue I melt away like ice cream in the sun While my heart beats away to your soliloquy Then comes the climax When our souls are conjoined In sweet ecstasy To the echo of a million melodies The words of your mouth Making us one.

I WILL NOT LET THEM FORGET YOUR NAME

Image
I will go to the village pool There where the echo is loudest And on that hallowed serenity I will scream Call out your names in rising decibels I will remind them of who you were Through song and dance The village maidens might as well ululate And in their painful wails all may decipher They will trample on the red earth with their bare feet And the copper rings on their legs will ring Their tears like a river will flow  The village elders with their backs arched with age Will join in the fray even if hesitantly Fighting away the tears of a man The ones that they held back since you left Sobbing together in unison Our tears flowing into the still waters Mixing our pain and our source of livelihood To form a lasting memory I will not let them forget your name.
