DROWNING

She was drowning

With her tears forming furrows on her face

As she slid down leaning on the brick wall

Her heart shattered

Broken to a million pieces

As every memory they had ran through her mind 

Like a film set

She was only fifteen when they met 

her dimples were still deep into her baby cheeks

He was eighteen then

His voice had suddenly changed

Sounding like a jukebox 

Playing mellow country music

And now she wallowed in a puddle of misery

Lost, confused and petrified

Her soul was torn beyond repair

And after eternity, it felt like just yesterday

And now they stood separated by a wall of insecurity

For she had blossomed into a flower

That every passing man wanted to pick

He shed a tear 

A manly tear

A painful flow of emotion

They had told him that if it was meant to, it would be

So he let go off his beautiful butterfly

Hoping that it would fly back into his arms again

Someday

For now, he was drowning.

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! Free East Africa! free Tanzania A single party anarchy that cares not of human rights A masked dictatorship that promises shorter days and longer nights The party of Nyerere, the African Shakespeare reeks of nothing but unprecedented fear Down with the hopelessness brought by anarchy Burn down the electoral injustices and the suppression of basic freedoms  Fire up the belly of the Tanzanian patriot  Give them a straw to hold on to in this sea of turmoil With their sorrows deeper than Tanganyika and their expectations higher th...

PORNETRY

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.
