It is only yesterday

It is only yesterday
when you and I played with the potter's clay
only yesterday
when my skies were grey and your kisses wiped my tears away
only yesterday

when we thought we'd go together to New York Bay 
It is only yesterday
when we thought we will go on all the way

It is only yesterday
when I sat and watched you do your basketball play
only yesterday
when I laughed at you when you got tooth decay
only yesterday
when we played together the squeeze me play
oh only yesterday

It is only yesterday
when the you drove through the roundabout way
only yesterday
when the accident washed all our dreams away
only yesterday
when I wished that all this was a nightmare play
only yesterday
when I slowly watched you waste away

It is only yesterday
when a phone call said you had passed way
ohh it is only yesterday
when I thought my heart would tear away
only yesterday
when I wondered who would show me the way
only yesterday
when I didn't think I would say this in an elaborate way

It is only yesterday
when I vowed to save your spirit from running away
only yesterday
when thoughts of you just redisplayed
only yesterday
When I wished that God would perform some miracle play
Baby its only yesterday
when your fragrance on the pillow faded away

Baby it is only yesterday
when I wished to be hit with an electric ray
only yesterday
when I lost my fiance
only yesterday
am haunted by thoughts of yesterday
only yesterday
dreadful yesterday
It is only yesterday

Disrupt - Who am I

Often the universe leads us to paths that lead us to new roads - I recently went to a the land of seeds; thanks to Hivos. Here are the poems I wrote for Disrupt. Who am I I am a seed in the soil A farmer in the field The seed company I am the link – I am the bridge I am here and I have something to say No pain no gain but this train I ride is too long The rain I see, fall is too plain It fills me with needless pain Ni usiku wa manane giza kote imeenea Amelala shujaa, mkulima – kesho ifike jembe akashike Si usingizi mzito ni ule wa kudukuadukua Ule wa kuhofia – wa kufikiria Kidogo amelala, kidogo anaamka wasi wasi – kila mara Tukajajua mja huyu ni  bingwa! Kwani sote twamtegemea Vita ametupigania – chakula mezani kifike -  lazima nimzungumzie He stands alone – feels alone – looks for hope Stripped of rights  In a country so rich I am a seed in the soil A farmer in the field The seed company I am the link – I am the brid...

The Mind is a con man!

If the sun shines tomorrow like it did today wake my heart with a kiss If the moon looks for her in the darkness of the night Hold me like the stars hold stormy winds when we make love If she hides behind the clouds... remember me still Remember me... Remember my scent how my skin felt How my locks fell on your chest, when I slept on your chest Remember my kisses and how my body moved against yours Remember everything that comes with me.... I told her in a loud silence Sometimes life is clear sometimes blur..... Even this poem and honestly I am not gifted with sight! "Its all in the mind"... he said But tell me how I only win battles in my mind never in the field I guess luck is an enemy! Oh how I hate vows and promises burn them before you see me So if my voice is stolen by the witch of the sea, never to be heard again Look for the truth in my eyes... If they still talk Before you kiss me with your lies Let me feel love when our lips touch even if it ...

If I die today

When weird words come to you and you can only pray that it doesn't happen soon!!! If I die today, shed no tear in grief But find strength in the words of my poems There, There I will be waiting for you If I die today, shed no tear in grief But smile that the world gave me a chance to share memories with you And I will miss your hugs, but find me in the warmth of your heart There, There I will be waiting for you If I die today, Let me go to the forces that call on me Wherever my body may go to rest, my spirit remains with you Remember never to forget that I loved you with the power of the sun And even death as scary as she sounds cannot stop this love If I die today, I will be your rainbow Flashing in the sky once in a while And for those days that you will miss me terrible Find me in the words of my poems There, There my love, I will always live In the warmth of your heart I promise you I will be © Namatsi Lukoye
