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

The darkness inside

Once in a while I visit the shadows of yesterday! I walk through forests that scare lions into dens I know it aint wise, msitu wanisha kweli Lakini nilijiagiza, I will go on with a hard heart until, I learn how to become a snake... or at least learn how to pretend To hold gently, kiss passionately and push in the venom quietly without being noticed until I learn how to fuck like the world will end! and kill slowly and gently or how to burn the body, spirit and soul... with my eyes open These shadows aint kind to me... but am tough enough to stand the heat These shadows are like merciless warriors... but honestly death doesn't scare In my small mass I swing my sword to the darkness life will casts Its the thought of forgetting and not getting back at you, that would scatters my dust or ash to spaces I never want to think of! Like an eagle I am calculating... Bury my heart in your prayers... nipunguze chuki angalau For I am already dead! © Namatsi Lukoye
