Helo love

Helow love, i know its late night
But every time i close my eyes
The only thing i see is your sight
I never thought I'll miss you this much
Maybe its what i get for not feeling your touch
It may be crazy what i say,
But with you crazy is my way
Cause even with the longest sleep
Its you who is my always dream
Im forever along your stream
Stream of love and sweet dreams
Im lucky for having you in my life
I pray one day you'll become my wife
I've always told you from the very start
That I'll love you with all my heart
Nothing in the world that completes me
Nothing in the world can move me
It only you that's fill my deepest desire
It only you and nothing more

Life

Life! What an insane experience
Insanity that makes us human beings
From childhood times to old times
Its insanity that has no end
To the souls that can never be satisfied

Friendship! What a wonderful tool
The tool to control, the tool to deceive
The so called friends so many i receive
Friend and foe seem hard to contrast
Those who hurt the most are the ones you trust

Love! Such a wonderful feeling
The feeling thats in everything surrounding
With all its beauty, pain brings to all human being
There is no escape there is no running
Its our deepest desire, its what we keep claiming

I'm Lost

Im lost
For Years i have been wondering in darkness
For months i have been crawling in empty walls
No one knows my struggles either knows how it feels,
Crawling as my flesh be eaten by the worms in the walls
Drowning in fear but giving up is never near.

Im lost
For years i have been a slave, a slave to the system
The system controlled by theaves and destroyers
Who claim to own our lives, who claim to own our being
My struggles in the darkness, always is their way to salvation
I keep struggle cause one day i will bring them fear

Im lost
Trapped in the world of lies, the world i cant seem to deny
Controlled by this illusion, that creates sorrow and confusion
Is the world that im drowened in, is the world that i seem to fit in.
As I scream to end my tears, the echoes are sounds of fear
I keep hoping that redemption is near

Im lost
In this world of tears, there is nothing more to fear
Trapped in the world of boredom, i keep reciting this poem
"At last i see the light of the day, as all my fears are being washed away
I keep struggling each day, coz i know God leads my way
And victory is now near"

Race Against Love

When the word love was spoken,
I knew our hearts will be broken
As the old man always said,
In love we were all created
The more I keep on resisting,
Is when my heart keeps and continue insisting
It in escapable feeling that controls our being
No matter how much pain we are facing,
How hardship encountered to love we continue racing
No matter how far we keep trying to go,
Love is always around us continuing to grow
Trapped in the world ruled by love,
we are forever slaves of its desires
Existing in its rule, dwelling in its domain
we will always do what love requires
They say love is a wonderful thing,
they say love is a sweet feeling
But every time it consumes me,
it’s nothing but a heart that is paining
In my ears they always whispered,
fall in love they always said,
the pain that comes with it they never said
Is it me or does this happen to anyone else
Why me, or have I wronged someone else
Why they say it’s beautiful, all I see is pain in every sense
I keep trying to run away,
but without love I fell not completed
I guess it’s a race that I will never win
Let love continue eating me from within
Deep down in my poor heart
let me feel that sweet pain
the pain called love

Broken

I love you, It’s what she said,
Words that took my breath away
I need you, she kept saying
Slowly I started craving for her love
I should have know it was all a lie
Slowly I start dreaming of a life
A life we share she and I
Slowly I became blind
Blinded with the so called love
I should have known it was all a lie
Places no one has ever been before
Is where I gave her control
Is a place of my heart she took
And hung it over the hook
Yet I could not see that,
It was all just a lie
The moment when was done with me
The time I couldn’t provide her with this
Is when I felt the heat
Deep in my lonely heart
She left me with nowhere to hold
She left me with no feet to stand
Broken from deep within
Is how she left me
Now I know it was all just a lie

The Morning

In Tuesday morning
I saw the birds moarning
From the sadness and sorrows of yesterday
Yesterday tomrrow and everyday
I live and wish for a better day
Away from the sadness and moarning
Each and every morning

Each and every morning
I wake up and start searching
Searching for my lost love
Searching for my lost lenore
Dreamind of her lips days and night
Dreaming of her lovling body each night
I wake up filled with emptyness
Each and everymorning

Each and every morning
We wake up wishing for a better day
Each and every morning I wake up looking for my better day
Looking up to the gods to take us to that day
Not knowing we hold the keys to that better day
With same thoughts same thinking we can never find the way
The way for me and my Lenore to live a better day
Is what I crave for everytime I wake up
To welcome the new morning

As the rain falls down In the month of june
I sit beside my lenore sede by side
Watching the water from the sky
Falling beneath our feet
I stand and wish that this feeling will last forever
This love will never be broken
The I wake up and it was all just a dream
Alone in another morning.

Strings of Nature

Behold the gates on hell have opened
And the devil that lies beneath has awaken
In his hands holding the strings of men
The army of demons assembled is line
Time for destruction of men

His show has arleady begun, the pupets cant run
The strings that holds us are strong, cant be resist
We search for enslavement, rather than freedom
We run toward the strings, we run toward him
Its time time for destruction of men

No one is running for shelter, no one is now or later
His weapon is nature, We are all under the controll of nature
Hunger, poverty is what we suffer,and he promise for better
Trapped in his strings, we are all puppets of nature
It is time, time for destruction of men

This world is his playground, our souls is his trophies
His puppet show is incredible his rewards are remarkable
We crash in his presence just like flies in his hands we dry
There is no wings to fly certainly not a shoulder to cry
We wait for the time, for destruction of men

Caught from his beautiful strings, he has broken all our wings
There is hope yet we dont see, there is light yet we are blind
Blinded by his gifts blinded by his strings, as we enjoy being his puppets
Slowly we loose our place, our place in eternal grace
Yes, it's time time for destruction of men

Turned our back on our maker, blinded by the strings of nature
We are no longer worthy, our hearts are forever dirty
All the hope is there has always been there, we too blind to care
We hve accepted what's coming there, with the joy he brought here
We are destroyed by him, yes we are!

In the middle of confusion


In the middle of confusion,
filled with fear,
i keep on bragging on my hope,
oooh, please don’t say that again,
when you do you break my hope into pieces,
i believe i got some light,
some light to cover the shadow,
i believe i can stand and win,
i need to be strong,,
i don’t want to loose,
time is passing,
no notice, am just moved shocked with my dream to fly,
i should have known it earlier,
realized it sooner,
i should have stood earlier, be active sooner,
but then time has gone,
but i guess i can hold,
don’t please, don’t break my hope away

A letter to the ex of my dreams

Hey babes
I am writing this letter with all the memories
of the smile you put on my face,
of all the sweet things you said
that held me back into the dream that never were,
Of all the heartbroken moment that kept me shaking
into tears and bursting into confusion,
Off all the percent that i lost,

thinking love makes you loose,
Of all the dreams that i saw you,

of which in yours u never existed,
You won,in capturing my heart 

even if it was just on my side alone,
You won,cause you made me see things

 that never were and i kept asking why not,
Well i am not writing this letter to blame you,
But to inform you,
Am better babes,
Better than when you were in my life,
Better than when i laughed by your side,
Better than when you hugged me tight,
Everything is falling in place,
Its like the way it were before you kicked in,
Happy,enjoying and i am more thoughtful now....
Though i wish we would still be friends,

Huzuni

Ilikua mchana Siku yenye furaha
Siku ya kukutana Na wangu mwanana
Mpenzi Tuliyependana na kushibana
Moyo wake ulikua nyumba ninayoipenda
Siku ya sherehe, sherehe ya kuagana

Alipendeza usoni kwangu
Alipendeza moyoni kwangu
Kila aliyemuona macho kama kingu
Minono ilikika sifa kwa mpenzi wangu
Kweli Alipendeza kwa wengine na kwangu

Kwa mwendo wa madaha mikononi alinijia
Nami nikampokea kwa tabasamu na furaha
Kwa busu mdomoni ndivyo hunisalimia
Muziki kifunguliwa kwa pamoja kuucheza
Muda ukawadia, muda wa kuagana

Siku zikapita, miezi ikapita,  miaka ikapita
Kila kona nilitafuta, kila mtu niliuliza
Bila mafanikio sura yake sikuona tena
Moyo kudhohofika, pendo lake kulikosa
Alikua furaha yangu sikumwona tena

Nilisikia yoko huku kwenda kuli patupu
Nilisikia ameenda huku,  nako nilikuta tupu
Moyo wangu ulipondeka kukosa wake upendo
Kumbukumbu iliyobakia ilinitesa kama upupu
Ikiťokea kumuona,  ikitokea kumsalimia
Mwambie nampenda,  moyoni mwangu ni tupu
Aje kunitoa huu upweke, uumao kama jipu.

My baby "thank you"

I’m happy now
Cause now that I have found you
My world is complete when I’m with you
I can’t imagine a day living without you
Every moment is worth spending with you
Yes you are my baby “thank you”

The smile in my face has never dried out
The joy in my heart can never go off
I live in the world where nothing else exist
The world where I see only your face
It’s where I want to be, is where I should be
I and my baby “Thank you”

I came from a sad place, but you brought my happy face
My heart filled with darkness, you have brought lightness
I was lost and now you have found me, I’m in your arms
When I’m around you, I know nothing else but love
I’m happy now, now that I have found you
Yes you are my baby “Thank you”

I don’t know how to thank you,
You who have changed my life
There is nothing in the world that can match you
Nothing in the world can complete my life
Only you, you my baby “thank you”
You hold my heart in your hands
There is nowhere I can go,
Where should I go when my heart is with you
Why should I suffer when I already have you
It’s you and only you that I need in my life
No one else but my baby “Thank You”

Nasi tuliwapokea

Asubuhi na mapema, Upepo mkali ulivuma
Kando kando ya bahari, Likatokea kubwa dubwana
Tukiwa na nyingi tahamaki, Ghafla liliachama
Wakatoka viumbe wa ajabu, Weupe kama theluji
    Nasi tukawapokea

walikuja na nyingi zawadi, Nguo shanga na mawaridi
Iyo yote kutulaghai, nia yao si zawadi
Ndani tukawakaribisha, kwa machungwa na machenza
Taratibu tuliwazoea, lugha yao kujifunza
Elimu mpya walitupatia,  hiyo yote kutuzuga
    Nasi tukawapokea

Taratibu walianza badilika, kila kitu kutupora
Mateso kutupatia, bila huruma wala msamaha
Vilivyo thamani kichukua, visi thamani kutuachia
Wadogo kushughulisha, wazee kutuulia
    Nasi tuliwapokea

Harakati tulianzisha, ukombozi kuutafuta
Wakubwa kwa wadogo, pamoja twashirikiana
Kwa ngumi hata kwa panga, kwa visu hata kwa kamba
Tulipogana tukapigana, kwa jasho na damu kutoka
    Nasi tukawaondoa 

Miaka miezi kupita, furaha kuturudia
Amani kutawala, matunda kujivunia
Wazee kwa vijana, wote twafurahia
Upendo kutawala, heshima twasimania
    Nasi twafurahia

alasiri na mapema, anga lilojema
Dubwana likaangu, kutoka angani juani
Ubavuni pakafunguka, viumbe wakatokea
Kwa chakula na kwa fedha, viongozi kuwateka
Kumbukumbu yasahaulika, nyumbani kuwaingiza
    Nasi tumewapokea.

On the sea of love

The sea is lonely, the sea is dreary
All sweet sounds of earth and air
And seem to sing from everywhere
Thus on life's weary sea,
Voices sweet, from far and near
Ever singing low and clear
Every singing ever longingly,
It was a dream of love
It was the loneliness of a day
That even my hand can't reach her
I'm left with in dilemma
Is it better hearing than seeing?
I had all as pleasant,
as a dream!

Drunk in my own thoughts


This is the ink of my thought
And I already know what I want
What matters most dies out
The goal loses priority
Mechanisms have gained nobility
To know where the roads lead
You must know what you need
 
I'm in love with thinking
I rejoice in my painting
It's beautiful and alluring
Without interpretation life is nothing
All the World performs in my understanding
 
Gold, silver, iron;
By power of imagination,
Limit our own emancipation
We set these orders ourselves.
It is the prisons that we get

Everything that i am
Everything that i claim
Belongs inside my head
Is what makes me great
Wish i would take you there
So you can see the World I've prepare
Deep inside my head.

All the Music is you


Touch the string
Touch the heart
Let them go,
The tears you once cried
Play the music,
Cleans yourself with sweet melody
Be yourself,
The beauty that you wanted
Become everything,
All that you searched.
 
The light that you hope for,
Goes by with candle's flame
Let the candle now 
Burn within your heart
Let the endless light
Shine in your own only room
Keep yourself,
In that safe home
That lets nothing out
Even your loudest cry.
 
Get yourself attached,
To what the heart feels
Become the honest 
You have been looking for
Become the truth yourself
Make the story you envied be you.
 
Let the music speak,
Truth that can not be spoken
Be the flautist, be the wind;
The flute, the melody yourself
There's plenty of music in you
All the music is you.

Another side of love song

Another side of a love song
Is a bad side of the moon,
Where light never shone
 
Who is my life, who is my life;
These verses in writing this song came
We all fall in love sometimes
 
Love is a red red-rose,
A favorite verse in old songs,
Was an evil art now everybody knows
 
Songs don't teach to forget
But this is also a song
It's already here in the moment
 
Distance is a spear
Falling is a unique art
Distant memories seem near
 
Don't fall in love, don't fall in love
They said it twice
For it won't be a choice
 
That future is now a dream
How helplessly I drowned;
Until my last freedom
 
You gave me all of you
I gave all, till nothing
Now you're gone, I've lost everything
 
If nothing from me was good
The road still is too long;
The 'nice men' are still there in 'Hollywood'
 
We don't cry tears twice
Wasting the tears in the wind
The race isn't so fit for a novice 
 
All hopes and dreams for a lifetime
Turn pain must be faced
Forever alive in poet's rhyme

I love December

I miss poet destine of course
because i miss you babe
i miss the butterflies in my stomach
i miss the twinkle twinkle in my mind
i wanna have you 247365
i hope you wont mind
every second i wanna be with you
i gave you my future, hopes, love, heart
so without you i cant see, am blind
cant replace you cause you are one of a kind
don't bother to search for a kind like you
cause i know i wont be able to find
i love December

But Me

i love life
there's nothing like living
i have neither tested any other yet
its a predicate of becoming,
nothing else can be beautiful
But life

i love being me
cause there is no other experience
like being me, i think, therefore i am
and the quarrels i had with my self
for nothing is to tell the truth about myself
but me

I'm dancing
To the music an inaudible music
and thought to be insane
to those who cant hear the music
the music that brings me to where i am
the music that makes me who i am
the music that will surely take me home
nothing can tell, no one can sing
But me

Dull Blade

The blow was high, I could feel the pain in bone
My enemies have won the battle, My army was wiped clean
Only i was left laying, Praying for mercy of the heavens
Left on the dirty sands, Defeated can no longer stand
       I pick up my dull blade, slowly returning home

Returning home defeated, My whole kingdom ashamed
The warrior who defeated armies, Defeated like a child
Victory seems far ahead, Yet surrender is not in my head
As i sit down prepare, prepare for the war that is ahead
     I start sharpening my dull blade

As anger fills my heart, Darkness fills my soul
Like Edgar Allan said, Deep into that darkness
Long i stood there, Doubting,  wondering,
Dreaming dreams no mortal has ever dared to dream before
But my silence will be broken And my smile will give no token
As i hear my enemies scream, trembling with fear
      And their blood in my dull blade

As i plan for a new strategy I let my enemies celebrate
As i keep searching for the culprit Who planned my defeat
I search for the spies, And crush them like flies
Let the darkness within me rise, Let the demons in me awake
       As the devil sharpens my blade
 
Now comes the day, The day of vengeance
The day of my enemies scream, Feeling the wrath of my demon
I march toward my enemies, With the army full of demons
I hear my enemies cry, Begging for mercy of heavens
I march toward the victory, With my enemies defeated
With my weapon in my hand, What i hold in my right hand
        is no longer a dull blade

I will follow her forever

She came like a bolt of lightning
That stroke straight to my heart
I wish i had the speed the flash had
I became slow by the sight of her eyes
The light that she shine brightened my life
In her hands, Im forever trapped
There is no left, no right i remain intact
She is the Alfa of the Wolf pac
And I'm the beta that follows her path
There is no escape as my heart is trapped
Trapped in her sweet love
The love of my baby cupid with the arrows
She shoot straight to my heart
Forever im her slave,  a slave in her wolf pack
There is no where to run, no where to hide
I'm forever in her sight
Im just a beta, will always follow my alfa

We and our selfish ways

Look at them as they walk around the streets
Look at how they suffer with their dirty feets
They are just like us, destroyed by the streets
But who are to care for them
Who am I to give them shelter and food
Im here preparing for my better life
Preparing for my future
They should do the same

That man pulling himself on a wheel chair
Surely that’s not my brother
That lady laying helpless in the road
Definetely that’s not my mother
My family is very nice and perfect
Everybody has both hands and feet
No body is crippled in the street
We are busy with our lives living strict
They should do the same

As I sit upon a big soffa
Seeng a beautiful view on the window
What is that knocking, knocking on my chamber door
Who is that dirty ma, standing on my chamber door
Please! Take this person out before he dirts my chamber floor
Im far too perfect for him to stand on my chamber walls
I worked hard for what I have, hard for my majestic floor
He should do the same

My eyes are open still I cant see,
My legs are ok, still I cant move
Oh! My dear wife help me move
Please my uard help me up
Help me move around my majestic floor
Oh! Mr. can you spare me with a change
But he worked hard for that change,
Shouldn’t I do the same??

As I sit lonely on the streets and roads
Hearing people passing wishing there was a savior
The hunger fills my eyes surely i cannot deny
As the roads become scary, the night prevails
The lofe that i once had remains as imagination
I hear the footsteps of a man, loudly my shouting
Mr.  Can you help, its three days fill with emptiness
I hear him walking by, i hear his whispers
I worked hard to where i am
He should do the same!

Nimezama



Uwepo wake hupendeza machoni
Mguso wake husisimua moyoni
Tabasamu kama maua hujaa usoni
Upweke unitoa na roho kunisuuza
      Nimezama kwako ewe kasuku

Uzuri wa macho yake hakuna mfano
Nyororo sauti yake ni wimbo moyoni
Uimbwa kwa maringo na madaha kitandani
Msisimuko akilini kwa papaso kifuani
     Nimezama kwako ewe kasuku

Yake ngozi laini hunikosha moyoni
Mabusu kedekede yote kwangu mwilini
Roho yangu iteke nibebe nisi pweke
Usijenipiga mateke na kuniacha mpweke
     Nimezama kwa ewe kasuku

Nimezama kwako malkia ni kwako hiyo pete
Mola atujalie milele tupendane
Milele uwe wangu milele niwe wako
Tushikane tugandane mithili ya kupe
Nakuomba tulia, mimi ni wako peke.
      Nimezama kwako ewe kasuku

This time every month

The silence of the day, come around the place
I start making a way, to my lonely place
I can’t continue to stay, seeing my baby sad face
The sadness dwells around, each time once a month
When the mood is around, changes in her body
Extreme pain takes over; I feel it in her body
I can hear it, coming from her mouth
Whenever the moon is full the wolves around my happy place
In the darkness of the day, lonely I sat there
Thinking about my baby, and the pain she has to bear
Lonely I keep pray, for the pain to go away
Where is the power of Horus, Where is the power of Amon
The miracles of Krishna, the comfort of Buddha
To chase away the pain, from the wolves of the moon
The night starts to go away, the moon paves a way
For the sun to rise again, and the pain to go away
Slowly we forget, the moon and the wolves of the day
The happiness comes again, and the smile lingers on our face
But deep down I wait, sadly I keep waiting for the moon
And the wolves to rise again, but until then
Let the happiness fill our faces again.

A dream within a dream

As the darkness prevails the haunting begins
Lonely in my room, the room feels like a graveyard
The graves that my lovers reigned,
The world I left behind, the horror that returns
Returns to haunt me, deep into the darkness
There comes my lady’s light
She was the white like a paper
She comes with darkness like the reaper
Her smile that brightened the moon now comes
Comes like the laughter of the demon
The voice that sang like angels in the sky
Terrifies me like the sound of thunder in the sky
As I try to run, another grave opens, grave of my tiger
Then comes the tiger, my black tiger
To whom I spent my night with,
The one we ride across the moon together
She was my first night and my forever
As I try to run for safety she captures me
Scared I wake up in a dream
With the darkness in my room,
As I see the small light dim
I see the rose growing from the light
With the smell so bright
Quickly I ran towards the rose
As I try to catch it, it cuts me leaving bruises
Afraid I become hoping the morning will come
As I realize it was a dream within a dream.

Enjoy

My Way

As i lie in my lonely bed
I start thinking of the way
The way to a brighter day
Which i seek in each and every way
Cause its clearly I've lost my way
Drowning in the devil's hands
Growing up beside a church
Has never kept me away from sins
Sins that destroy me from within
I wonder if heaven thinks of me
If Ever will i sit there
Singing beside angel Gabriel
Though when my eyes close
I see the scary gates of hell
Wonder if my sins will wash away
And see the light of that day
The day i seek in each and every way
Friends that i have made
Lovers that i had, forever in my head
Fun that i had, time that i have wasted
Brought me to my hatred
hating none other than my self
For bringing my self to this day
The day that has no way
I hope i will find a way
The day that i will be awaken
Out of this lonely bed.
