Stay out

-

 



You and me have this bond I can never explain
Where, you pretend to be right and I ignore
And this happens so many a times,  I think I shouldn't let it slide
I need you to learn this
You need to learn to be silent from time to time
 Maybe
We fight too much because; I don’t like it when you talk
Maybe
It’s your bad breath, sorry I meant your bad vibe!
Or maybe I just hate it when you confuse my mind
Follow your heart the wise fools say
When we both know that the heart never gets smarter by the day
Dear gut instinct of mine
Stay out of the heart and mind wars

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 bridge I am here

Love Is Not A Fight by Warren Barfield

-
Love is not a place To come and go as we please It's a house we enter in Then commit to never leave So lock the door behind you Throw away the key We'll work it out together Let it bring us to our knees Love is a shelter in a raging storm Love is peace in the middle of a war And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for To some, love is a word That they can fall into But when they're falling out Keeping that word is hard to do Love will come to save us If we'll only call He will ask nothing from us But demand we give our all I will fight for you Would you fight for me? It's worth fighting for

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Tick tock tick tock I hear the maternal clock ticking I feel my ovaries jumping up and down in celebration I feel the tubes smoothness in preparations of the seed This seed saved up for just this day… this seed what they call blessing Oh this seed that will maybe carry my eyes, my smile, my legs or may be my beautiful small breasts This seed… I feel the maternal clock ticking tick tock tick tock Tick tock tick tock I hear the maternal clock ticking I feel it in my brain… it flashes like the sound of a nice song I see it in little baby Sean… when he smiles at me I see it in his big white and black eyes… and the beautiful chuckle he make when I play with his tummy I felt in beautiful baby Natalie, when her soft hands touched mine I felt it when I touched my best-friend's tummy…. It’s somewhere in that curve Yes my maternal clock is ticking tick tock tick tock Tick tock tick tock I hear the maternal clock ticking I see it in his face… every time he leans forward
