FROM KENYA WITH LOVE
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

If they came today; faces would crumple with agony.
Unstaunched wounds of wars would open fresh.
With memories of pledges and battles of deliverance.
The freedom fighters who sworn patriotism.
Tears would drip from eyes round with amazement.
Brothers fighting one another; what of loyalty?
Had the land not been fought for with enough blood?
Shed by unknown warriors now in unmarked graves.

They hoisted the flag of freedom; A colorful banner.
Red as of gusto blood; shed by unsung heroes.
Green as the lush nature rugged cloak; our Lands.
Black as Jade; for united people blessed with a skin.
White as of the snow on Mt Kenya; for Peace and Love.

Now sad echoes grappling every corner leaves unknown pain.
Gnawing my entity; what happened to the togetherness.
Kenya the land of my birth, bleeds with violence sobs.
Dirty fat hands straddling people with injustice, no nice.
Letting people die for their egocentric missions.

I rise from unnamed grave; with muffled voice.
To be a voice of the voiceless; From Kenya with Love.
If you are with me, take your place besides me.
And rejoice with a perspicuous heart.
Kenya our motherland; Let no Man evil against a kin.
Live in brotherhood; let peace upon Kenya.

THE ALTAR OF ART
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


Thoughts from the dead silent night.
You cam at my window; poising like a model.
Your eyes scares; big and shining green light.
Flapping as a June bug; on the minds panels.
Me! A young lad, sit on a creaky chair as in flight.
In a self caged mind, with a bulb glaring lonely.
Amazed at your persistence quiver, to be let in.

I shout wishing you were gone to drain.
And fall back to my lazy illusions and dreams.
So agile you dance; like a sycophant on meadow.
Flossing magic colors as on an auditorium showdown.
I opened my heart; to bargain for your offer.
Flood in like a torch beam; taking over in stride.
A dawning realization; you talk jiggling like coppers.

Glinting like cellophane; in a rhythm of impeccable plight.
Then like a flickering candle on a windy desert.
You are gone as you came; into the ghostly night.
Left a web of encryption; ways of hidden treasures.
I sworn to sacrifice your image; on the altar of art.

Doodling like a scalloping eagle; poems of my visions.
Seeking refuge under breasts of they mighty kingdom.
Lost in a maze of dream land; trudging every four seasons.
When imaginations cluster with memories for wisdom.
Softly whispering; the voices of uncelebrated passion.
On the Altar of Poetry; I perish with own reasons.

AFRICAN LASS
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


Silent breeze sweep over blue sky vast.
Sea waves rock from a distance in a hearty dance.
On miles of sandy shores; a man walk in haste.
Calling for an African daughter; carried away by waves.
Over the seas rocking boat; with pads of passion.
Whisperings a sweet name to the monsoon winds.

Soul scarred in vast deserted loneliness.
He weep to miss magi touch of loveliness.
Wishing for wings to fly near
Almond eyes watered looks inside a lone heart.
Tears imbue soul for precious time now hurts.

World is quite; no more melodious laughter.
Neither the plumbing sensation of nature’s violin strings.
Nor half moon smile of an African lass.
Memories embalmed in heart since that day of spring.
Visions and hopes lives on in fading twilights.

CRY FOR OUR BELOVED KENYA.
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


As mountains gleam in lush green dawn.
Under bronze Sunshine; listen to rivers flow.
Your name embroiled in a peaceful lawn.
My crumbling faith recovers; from fit blows.
Words tumble in cold prints of memory drawn.
Recording your fame; language of twisted dream.

Kenya ! The humblest pride of Dark Continent .
Who thou art bestowing on us; Our Motherland.
Remember when we marveled at thou calmness.
And danced to nature’s music of calm souls.
Quivering in one rhythm; dancing with our hearts.
And joined hands; brows sweating brown.
Bending as bow; in a willful toil.

Today venturing into now impersonal cities.
Mothers wails; lamenting destroyed creation.
Among debris children’s sobs; lost and orphaned.
Lots of youths turning lost youths; it’s painful.
Brothers hunting other selves; strikes and leave to die.
Clenching wet brown soil; yet sworn forgiveness.


What happened then? That we fight our blood.
Blinded as bat; galloping like wild horses.
Stomping on innocent backs; betting on lives.
Irked with heart refusal, I seek harmony from Above.
Lord! We need you now more than ever.

When Love goes out of gears,
I’m urged to cry on bend- ed knees.
Where on thou Mountains is our Citadel?
What clock shall register our walled patience?
Or which caroling dawn will ripen our hopes.

Like birds hoisting for freedom,
I fly out on vast blueness; chirping music of peace.
Afar beyond skyline; preaching unity and harmony.
In a joy of a dawning new start; reconciliation.
And contemplate on a lone commandment.
“Thou shall Love your Neighbors as Yourself.”

May Peace Reign in My Beloved Country Kenya .
