Mwihaki Kahiga Poems

And walk i walked
Swinging right and left as usual,
In the seriousness of the moments,
As the scorching sun hit my face,
...

It could have four corners,8 corners, no corners, large or small but not matter how beautiful it is from inside,
Anyone looking at it from outside will realize its a cage.
It could have beautiful, comfortable living areas within it,
It could have flowing waters within it,
...

There was a time i longed for night fall,
Longed for the darkness,
The solitude that comes with it,
I longed passionately for the day to end,
...

I light a candle and my heart jolts into a halt,
Memories of your deep look through my eyes too fresh,
Your tight grip around me so warm,
Your presence fills the room,
...

The voice lacks sound,
The sounds lacks rhythm,
The start just happened,
But the end happened before the start,
...

I keep singing,
As i walk,
As i sit,
As i sleep,
...

Its not what i have lost that i think about,
Its about the things i have gained,
The people i have loved, who loved me back when they could,
Its the moments of pleasure, the beauty of silence,
...

I am walking down the street, taking a random shot of the sunset,
A guinea fowl runs across the road and as i look at its beautiful colours i am tempted to run after it,
As if reading my mind it runs faster into the thickets and i stand there staring at nothing at all.
...

The picture in my mind,
The picture in my soul,
The picture i talk,
The picture i hear,
...

There are some things in life that no experience can prepare you for,
Some things that age does not make any easier,
Some things that no amount of knowledge can save you from,
Some things that teach you to let God be the master,
