in English, they say
" Valentine's Day "

every day, a flower trodens my path,
priceless treasure mints my cash.
a lyre of muses and soother melodies,
memories card, pianist healing the hurt.
all the days of my life, a stolen heart,
my dream forever frozen yet spotless,
firm beliver of chosen desire served limitless.

but in poetry ...

anadai tushike keja runda
lakini wa kulipa kodi ni Mi punda
nilimjenga roho yangu
juu yake apa kwangu nisha sunda
nikitumainia mawazoni na
akilini mambo ya moyoni,
amani ameunda
amenitia ulingoni, mawazoni natembea ukingoni
mwili kudhoofika, gonjwa donda ndugu moyoni
daktari mitishamba, nastahimili machungu sugu sokoni.
Yote yaishe, pumziko angalau peponi
kaniwacha ati ati kama dera kiunoni
hushikiliwa mwilini kwa tumaini
lakini pale nyuma mambo ya kukosesha adabu yanatimia mengine nyororo maini
apo ndipo nilipobakia kwa maswali chungu nzima bila majibu ilhali hapa maamuzi nadidimia.

naanza banja na mresh sir Jah alinikanja
tunda ameiva nilimcheki amejaa jaa ilibidi nisare wera, nipige mistari, kutia bidii
nikijua namsuka kajipe, Mi nimekafunga.
siku zote ndoto za mvuvi samaki kumkunja
tuskie fiti, tushike mavitu bila kumvunja
siku fiti zote, malkia niliswali kumtunza.
kumbe ndoto mbaya, nasaka lakini wenyewe wanakuja.

swala tata lenye tanzu
manzi yangu matatu
kapandwa na wazee wa kanzu
kisa visa
kisanga visanga
Kizaaza mimba
waume viumbe simba

...
would You hold my hands to your hands
My rocky soul climbs to implant towers of soul ties
My mind of glass, bestow it's einstein powers impurities.
water the grass rosey to the levels of epstein Island-Pearl chronicles
keep your word to the extent...
You parade your burning desire
preaching the gospel and dragged by horses for word of messiah
to domineer & dominate the Jewish like the Nazi dosier

if this torment is your cup of tea,
inspite the outrage, spite and the agony sea,
We can fly on strings way more than atmospheric feat.


Welcome home then,
hasten your feet,
I'm drowning,
come save Me.

if words sharp knives they are
pierce your innocent soul
and friends are serpents wilding to break us.
Yet you choose a fictitious emotional figment.
Enrol to become a student of this school,
coming with heavy dues and hefty payment

if blood is the only beverage, and
You're thirsty for a sip that will hound,
your existence to our soul tie currents bound

the sun unbearably drowns us in sorrow
but we delve in the deep sea
of Twilight Moon gauze
the lovely celestial pool pillow
you willfully devow my flesh to the born
make carcass dry yet succulent corn
will you paint the town black , white, or red ;
in whichever manner or weather or time
or a flower I'm withered,
maimed, and despicably wretched
forever a reject and dejected. Would You dare¿
make a move to share and care.

if this is what you've always wanted.
You must be warned that glass breaks
and what's left is fragment
to pour yourself out like a pitcher
try to move my stance and make me
see everything as a creation creature

if you pull up this soiled white garment
already made ridicule by public utterances.
wash it wholesomely without fear of being cajoled.
when stains overshadow the beauty patent
left is a dirty linen odour filled
patches of clear pigment. but keep it neat as meant

if you can be an anchor to a ship swept off
the harbour by waters of tempests
approaching the shore;
and as the captain, you choose to drown
over jumping to safety
for the solo survival pendent
...

Snow ledges, trimmer of hedges
own is Shimmers cage, rock of ages
to tremble at thine feet
wear a medal and feast fete.

through shadows valleys of death
as will fails and deteriorating health
the rock, ammo, armour, and shield
life a battle line, a bloody open field.

trying to forget the chambers
every echo burst to ashes of timbers
won't forget how each stare sequence,
can't let go of each flare frequence,
every stare that quenched the fire
while I burned in desire.
went to the furnace in-hot
came out cold, red sapphires

... A tight pillow chokes.
out of breath and on the highway to heaven 
baretta to His mouth,
blows a newly painted souvenir art to the wall
as sleep is the cousin of death
3 days later,
an eery odour wakes up an establishment.  
A note is found with 2 cigars and a lighter.  
Two birdie pictures and wedlock vows, rings.
Both have slipped forever into each other arms.
tapes of crime scene seal the building 
as loud tv plays both zoumba
and engineer tutorialships
in the course of investigations and justice systems
their wasn't enough evidence for a case to stand water in criminal law
it was, therefore, conclusively shut down under crimes of passion
4 days later, made it a week. 
2 new hotty naughties , feather birds..
occupy the vicinity like nothing took place. 

Them too will became ficticious

They are fractious

they believe in gemini 

and forever living in ignominy

Youth smokes 
Ash knocks 
in no time 
the speed of light 
beauty has faded 
hands have wrinkled
that desire body is flabby 
He suffers from Alzheimers,Amnesia.
topping it all is an existent problem; being asthmatic & chubby
Celebral pulsy, lupus episodes, and sickle celled.
flower in a vase threatens to implode anytime
in a ticking bomb nature.
well co-ordinated careers and keeping the vows
through the storms and tranquil
Large duplex filled only with 2 laughter tones
and quite elongated agony.
Sessions of chemo again and again. 
Looking at her face, the only person
His faded memory grapled to grasp and attain
They both suffer, but His is a double dossier like a criminal of felony 
keeping still without further discourse of acrimony
He gets home one day to hold the wife's hand, 
and looked to the Heaven's. 
White walls and wards simply syphoning every penny on the pains
Looks at the artillery for indifference.

Down the street so they meet
sparks of twinkly little stars.
connection and reception's greet
She is good with her feet, lean bodied, boneless,
obviously judging by all the swerves and moves.
His brain is a framework of wit, lit lanterns, and stoves.
from the onset of their eyes, a button triggered
like conjoined twins, configured.
Heart of gold He finds out She is.
Priceless to whatever treasure chest
and oligarchs won't afford Her hospitality
even from Saudi Arabia
Evidently, a peculiarity is rare.
His eyes light an ember of Intel.
Boy, a charm magnet, but a philophobia.
The bigger problem is;none felt fear in their eyes
They've often said, written letters to the skies,
love's blind
a narrative of impeded vision in kind.
She vows loyalty,submission,respect, and support
He promises guidance,provision,security, and lots of sons.
They lived through Her zoumba Swerve classes
He broke to build concepts,
an enigma of engineering geek, nad of ingenious facets
only explanation for the madness,
was casualties suffering of love sickness ...
