Poetic Nairobi

Loads of churches and church related schools and unis

Loads of armed security men at every entrance 

Roads are like a motor-museum, as entertaining as polluting: Classic english models from the fifties to modern art graffitied glow in the dark busses 

Red earth and scattered clouds contrasting the the blue on top there 

Down here trees stand relaxed, secure of themselves , this is THEIR place

Massive woman heeling up and down, their femininity dressed up in as many colours as possible

And how do walking men keep their shoes shiny and their suits clean will forever remain a mystery

Kindness

Surprise

Sadness

Distrust 

Are some of the feelings their eyes show, from the littlest ones to the most senior ones 

Attentive and happy is what they are despite all 

Proud is how they stand 

Africa is Africa and you can feel it in its beat , a rhythm of its own 

Elephants inside the supermarket , giraffes directing traffic from atop the roundabout and the feeling that all those things that would be oh so inconvenient at home, are what give this place an air of romance, a sight of when in Africa ... 

Lustmanity

     My stillness

     Red wine my dress

     You craving a zip

     Stares collide.

     Covering the air

     Lust.

     Explosion.

     My red lipstick

     Painting you now

     Drunken by the

     Flavor of desire

     Ecstasy

     We dance

     In trance

     To the melody

     Of wrongness

     Celebrating

     Human behaviour

     Simple pleasures

     Sinful souls

The Moon has been misinterpreted

 

 

She owns the night
She lives among the stars
She enlightens the lovers

 

They see her dance
They see her smile
They see her shine

 

No arms reach to hug her
The sun never warms her
Her smile, lake of lonely tears.

The beginning
The end
There's no such thing.
Enormity can be huge, so huge, so huge. Yet just within oneself.
I've seen it all today. I've seen the darkness where the light comes from.
It started where it finished.
It was only wholeness.
It was holy wholeness.
It was holy only-ness.
Amazing what it was. What it runs through me.
I have seen the beginning. I have seen the end.
My wish. Your will. ITs command.
I feel it in my palms. I can feel the heat. I can see the light. Feel it flow, be open. It's coming.
It was within me.
It was about you.
But there was no me or you.
It was just that, IT.
It was.

It is.

 It's been forever.
 And will keep being.
 It just IS.

all that you are

i wish i didn't have to wait

i wish i didn't have to act

i wish i didn't have to be patient

tribute

nevermind the world
nevermind the smell
seems like my teen spirit's in bloom
don't let it stop you
from coming to me
come as you are
nevermind the world
don't get paranoid
let ourselves breed
quit that lithium 
that's filling your head
don't be scared polly
I'll hold your hand
I'll keep you safe and warm
nevermind these feelings
even if you are
even if your are not
they're coming after us
you are in my system now 
I like you
don't know what life is 
//about
give me your life, teach me
now I need to drain you
now I know,
it's just a lounge act
little meaning, so lost they are
wouldn't wanna hurt you
so stay away stay away
I'm so high, I can't love you
I'll stay away
nevermind the world
nevermind their smell
nevermind these words
i'm so high, I can't love you
I'm on a plain

I have done my time in the back

I have done my time in the front

It is time for me to come out

It is time for me to let go, move on.

You wish to go back

Keep seeking for the elixir

You seek for another instant 

                       //of happiness.

It is not a matter of going back

That time is gone and will not return

You can not go back in time

You can only stand or sit

and Wait or Hope

That time will go by

That time will take you there.

I Wish you a plentiful life.

Así andan

Las Piernas

Que tanto caminaron

En busca de un buen tango

Que las baile hasta el olvido.

Dear You,

stealthy

confident

cautious

intimate

Wandering through my mind's garden

Playing in the land of letters

Springs of words&brainstorms

Warming&Comforting my imagination...

Synonym spirit caught myself

Subtlety pushed against the wall

Were my mass&energy 

Rejoicing in an instant

Of tactile gravity 

Melting away&flying around...

Inky Tears Delicately moistening

The path of words and sentences

Coming out of TheWall...

Thank You Mr. T.
