Colours of you

Yellow,
Serene and mellow,
Peace within
Together.
Loyal fellow.

Blue
Cool and bold
Calm all round
True
Forever alive.

Red,
Fast and dangerous
Angry yet alive
Fiery
Inferno within

Pink
Polite and silent
Meek and young
Innocent
Child inside.

Colours
Every part different
All refreshing
You
My rainbow.

TO HAVE AND TO...

holding on
to the umbrella
for shelter from earth's filth
to the word
for escape from the world's voice
holding on

holding on
to gold
it never grows old
wealth at hand
never hard to hold
never hard to blind

holding on
to memories
those that bring joy
alongside those that hurt
yet we still hold on
to the truth

holding on
to all that matters
along with all that doesnt
making scrapbooks in our minds
trashing our bodies
bruising our spirits

why do we hold on?
to possibilities
hurt feelings
missed opportunities?
we hold on to our graves

holding on
positive or negative
never changes
we hold on.

The concieved

The black
yet the honest
The handwritting
yet the confusing
wanting!

Alcohol, the best
the desire, the rest
the touch, the feel
the desire, the want
Gay.

The astonished, yet
the blessed
the almighty, the thought
the pen, the confusion
Noise.

The desire, the best
the touch, the needy
the prepared, family
the love, yet the end
beginning

the end, the page
the writer, the cigarrette
the delivery, death
the step, of the shoe
print.

the film maker, vision
of the cloth, sheep
the clothed, lace
the released, tied
finished

the confused, middle
the king of kings, servant
the shortness, length
official.

my thoughts, sacred
the passangers, sea men
the thoughts of perversion, laughter
the sadness, bracelets
smile
DRUNK!

SCARRED ANGEL.

This is dedicated to my friend Irene Kasyoki. one of the toughest people i know who is battling cancer but still finds a way to make us all smile..luv u girl!
xoxo!

Her face bold,
Shinning in the suns light
Her smile warm,
holding her head up.
her heart warm
walking amongst the angels.
her manner,
a puzzle, interesting.

with her tongue
she captures, pleases
deep inside,
her scars tease
wounds refuse to heal!
yet she refuses to give in
a hero in disguise

she looked at me,
scars outside, loud
what i was thinking, she felt
she knew in her heart to speak..
we all bear scars
her wise heart spoke to me!
scars, mark of our identity.

she smiled despite her pain
her strength overcoming weakness.
scars she bore, deep inside
she wills to live
our angel in pain!

she longs to see tommorrow
the end aint near
courage and strength she bears
to battle for life
our scars, mere nicks
hers, wounds alive
yet, she wills to live.

she lives today,
tommorrow in my heart!

My Area

Finding myself in all the wrong places
qith all the wrong people, wrong business
but that night, i was right
in the right place with the right business
See, I was walking around looking for
my place, my home, my area, i was looking for me.
this was not wgere i thought i would find my area...my area!

i saw that tall, dark, well built business, my business.
staring at me, smilling
my heart didnt skip a beat, it thumped and thumped, again and again
at one hundered and twenty miles per hour....

he touched me,
he tapped the skin on my drum
the rythm of that beat, the beat, that beat
awaking my body
sending vibrations through my bloodstream
making me dance to the rythm of his beat.

he was a perfect fit!
he was all in my business, i was all in his-business.
he was fully mine and so was i to him
in him i had found my place, my hope, my home,
i found me my area.
my beautiful business for my bootyfull self!
My Area!

Tattoo on my heart.

Soothe my skin with your touch
make me laugh
bathe me with your loving eye
till i stop asking why?
plant tiny kisses on my body
rid me of all worry.

Make my heart leap for you
keep me waiting
let me yearn for more
touch me, deep in my core
let me listen to your heart
let me hear your most silent whisper
let me in

make me wonder
make my heart surrender
make me yours,
tattoo on my heart
that love that lives on for ever.

encouraged.

Ask courage what a cowardly dog he is,
why he crouches when i approach,
gives that secret smile
when he wants me to touch.
not speaking a single word
just smilling with every word
all the way to my heart.

what a coward he is,
granting my every wish.
risking my whims to get that kiss.
licking my wounds
yet making me stoop- down
to his level
i, his master and he…

the coward he is
majestic in his stride,
though slave by my side
confident in his cowardise
his dance to break the ice
elegant, smooth…well,…
thats my price.

the coward!
for loyalty he gains his name
courage!
he, the source of my courage
to love.
he is a coward, for he is
in love.

FOREVER WITH YOU

true as you hear,
the heart grows fonder.
wish you were here,
so i would not wonder.
you would hear
my heart surrender

so close, my dear
though the oceans divide.
as the stars bless our night
i will be near.
be silent, my dear
wait for the night to bring the cheer

listen, my dear
for the wind,my voice it carries
my touch will carress
your skin with each gush.
close your eyes my dear,
stare into mine, the moon be your guide.

song of the heart.

There’s a voice in every soul,
A song in every heart,
A song of hurt
A voice of comfort

Even the broken sing
The voice breaks the hurt
Changes it into…
Laughter and joy

In me,
The song is dead
The voice, tired
Of catering for my hurt

In spite of all silence,
My song and voice lie elsewhere
In ones hands
Hands of gold

Hands with a golden touch,
Hands of precious love
Hands of tender care
Hands of a friend.

Always there,
To lift my falling bones,
Guiding my weariness through the valley
Healing my wounds

Your touch, tender love,
Shoulder I lean on
Shows your true self,
Friend!!

this is a peak into the stuff i wrote back in the day. hope you enjoy this!!!

ray's attic: the way of the wake

ray's attic: the way of the wake

the way of the wake

Paying the last respects-
No respect!
Eye to eye, you never seen
With the deceased.
Now all hail, all praise, all reminisce
The good times, the laughter.
The great chapter in the book called life,
All read. We take a few minutes!

Silence!
In the heart, the joy,
The peace of the wake,
Awakes the cheer of fresh starts
Without the tick, the tock
Of fear, or even hate!
The new chapter rid of all logs in the eyes.
We love you in the grave.

We lower to the ground,
Some in love, others in hate
And the rest just to spectate!
As the drums get louder,
And the hums overpowered by wails
And tears, some of joy, others of sincere sorrow,
Another part is eagerly awaited!!

Feed the masses,
Their right, their prize for attendance,
For the contribution- none must miss!
Then the tug of war!
Who takes what? When?
And what will be divided?
None in the shoes of the bereaved!
The way of the wake!

people

I’m the girl on the street walking,
Dragging my feet, pausing
Running from me, running from life
This life so scary, I’m scared of the dive
So I run,
Into the unknown I jump,
I pump my fist ahead, make way
I’m coming close to a day I’ll stop running.

I’m the boy from the slum, begging
Looking for a future, searching
For a reason to live, a reason to keep
On the hustle, the struggle, the pain, the...
So I run, into the unknown
I throw away my rugs, pick up the bags
Walk, into a brighter day.

I’m the man of the house, providing
For a good life, struggling
For my family to love me
Dreading the night, not able to close
My eyes, Afraid of what I’ll see
Afraid of tomorrow
So I, gather the courage, stop suffering in silence
Make a difference so I can sleep again,
Leap again.

I’m the mother of five, juggling
Everything in my life, rushing
Late for this, beating deadlines for that
Mouths to feed, deadlines to meet
Kids to mother, a husband to smother
All these needs, only
One me,
So I, gather my pride, gather my tools
Stand tall and be thankful for what I got
Walk tall, stand strong and shove my way
Into a glorious day.

fiendish friend

I was up! i was mad, but it was done

So done. The damage was scaringly bad

Damage had been done

And revenge was at hand

Just one step to and two steps free

Of guilt and fear

The fiend was here, so was the friend

The battle had begun.

Now, this battles different. It’s not between right and wrong, it’s between mild and extreme. When the fiend lashes out KILL! The friend says NO! JUST SOME BRUISES.

Finding the middle ground is harder than when it’s between good and evil. How do you find the middle ground between bruise and kill? You may end up hurting them so much they die later or not cause even a scratch.

Let’s not lie to ourselves, there is no middle point. Its either you do it or you don’t, either you cheat or you don’t. That’s just how it is.

Now, this is where I kill the friend and the fiend. “I don’t need you anymore,” I deal like a woman, I scheme, and hit where it hurts most. if i fail, there’s always the catfight, its epic! There’s nothing more entertaining than a good catfight where none of the girls can throw a punch or a kick. all that can be done is scratch, push, pull hair among other classics.

Its not easy for a woman of my stature to be found in any of the above positions. I mean, it’s me, i throw punches, i kick but i don’t bite or pull hair. I can’t scheme so i wage a war of words-written words, a head to head.
