HOLD AND TAKE ME HOME

  HOLD AND TAKE ME HOME

Hold my hand and lead me through

The strangles of life

And the bends of life

Take me to your home

And feed me with knowledge

Plant me with wisdom

Take me through, the long journey of life

Lead me in the direct way

So that I can know my destiny

Let fortune not overcome now

Let hope to persevere with me

To have a home that will last

I have wondered many years

To find someone to hold me

And I have found you now

Please hold me and take me home

To see my family and friends

In good kiaora to find

Lively kicking men and women

Of my longing home dream

To have a hold and taken home

In long last to have beatific smiles

A home reached ever

A free person, longing to be taken to a home

THE BUKUSU DARLING

THE BUKUSU DARLING   by ANYONGE the poet

It was never thought to be

It never lingered in someone’s mind

Even the elders had no idea

For it was like a storm

Lightning striking the skies

The deep waters running the oceans

For here came the love of the two

The Asian and African darling

Solely bonded darlings

In emotions and feelings

Who saw love through?

Beyond the thought of culture

Beyond the doubt of many

For they made a surprise

For they now make our headlines

By the click of the remote button

A story is being aired and reported

In the diversity and across boarders

#MyBukusuDarling

For they struck the eyes of millions

It’s now talk of a love tale

Could it be like Romeo and Juliet?

Oh! It’s a tale of the lovebirds

Taking all against all odds

Despite the threats and divergent opinion

For a heart has got all it needed

And received all the care and joy

Its love in its definition

For I to call #TheBukusu love

For I to call #TheAsian love

All combined is the #TheBukusudarling

For a new inter-culture love

That shall see all roads lead to India

All the planes to land to Kenya

To have a look at #MyBukusudarling

For photos to share as a reminder

Shall they take a #Selfie #groundie?

Who knows for it’s their love

For great moments they have shared

For their journey begun long ago

Love without limits

For it has spoken so strong

In two soul mates, a treasure

A history made in for stay together

Pray for their prosperous life

To see the happy Bukusu darling

Have a second smile to her beautiful

For glory to cover a better love

Defined in its nature

For it is for the Bukusu darling

HE TRIED HIS BEST TO CONVINCE HER

HE TRIED HIS BEST TO CONVINCE HER by KEVIN ANYONGE BARUSI

Have you ever thought of love and wished to get that girl who can fulfill your dreams? That a question to ponder about. I write this piece using ‘James’ as an example .There are times when you get into the good memories in your mind just sited somewhere on a couch thinking of that only girl you ever met or saw her picture from a friend or maybe from the social networks. There was once James a cool guy who ever wished to date that beautiful  girl according to what his taste was, a wish that may have lead to fruitful relationship and after that who could guess their next move, time could let as watch them prosper in their endeavors if all happened as planned.

The humble boy from the village brought up in an average family where they could make of what life could offer, James passed so well after form four and their he landed in the best University in one of the towns, arrival in town came as an amazement to him, all he could do is to wander as if it was ‘heaven’ to him, Surprised village boy, oh! That was the city you heard over the radio, the tall buildings even the skyscrapers, the village only had a two storey house that was some kilometers away.

Welcome to town were the lights could confuse use as he was preferred to the lantern and sometimes  it could get smoky, here he saw the same smoke from the old aged ‘Matutus’ that tried to speed along the highways. James, the boy who saw total change from the usual normal and simple village life

The good grades made him explore the other side of the world that unfolded to him with much rapidity.

You have had a glimpse, how James was, he could be branded ‘The new kid in town’. From the village to town ahem! Totally surprised He further made a stop at his university of choice to get that knowledge for a better future that beckoned on him. It was a journey of a thousand mile that had only begun with a single step as the saying goes. A new chapter that could transform James life wholly to another level

During his studies he was gifted to find a friend, who could try to orient him how campus life was to be like. In his first two weeks he gathered more than enough friends’ time could spell who was real and fake. A focused mind that had to mix with the so called ‘good boys’ and girls’ and the ‘bad boys and girls’.This was a recipe he would encounter with as he traversed the paths of the university.

As he was incorporated in the system he learned the terms of a campus buddy who could just hang around and take a short siesta under a cypress tree with no worry. James roamed around the hockey field as his dazzling eyes watched the cog get to its keeper and wander if it misses and hit the uncovered player.

In a minute while at the field he glanced at a beautiful girl who was approaching by, the girl walked stealthily and majestically, her moved calculated, the sparkle of her blonde hair swayed from right to left, the golden earring gleamed with light, all this warmed James heart for he had spotted Gods creation and most probably wanted to appreciate it in his own superb way.

She final arrived where James was standing; she stretched her hand to give James a greeting that followed with a warm embrace .A moment of mixed emotions arose, each of them felt the joy they never expected. They gave each other the charming impressions. A question popped in James mind and said “I am interested in your girl” for a moment they viewed each other in the eyes, the girl felt the strong feeling and for her shyness she only smiled away and said they could start a kind sort of relationship.

For what happened to them was the birth to light up a new relationship from the time they saw each others face. The girl went by the name ‘Laura’ they paired together and cuddled each other as they talked in the soft low romantic tones. Was it love at first sight?

A year later James had moved to another level of his studies and always had piece of thought to her love ‘Laura’. They had kept in touch for the benefit of a wonderful relationship. For much time was set as aside for them to enjoy moments together in each other’s arms. Laura the silent girl who never talked much whose replies based on yes or no was a beauty in her own way.

Communication between them was more vibrant and one of its kind that one would emulate for a healthy relationship. Months passed the girl in her tender replies made James never know if she could really wait for her in the future. Laura always thankful replied all the messages assumed some which reasons never offered.

Plans were laid for them to meet they meet shared the thoughts; Laura smiled sending across a strong to James to read her mind and figure what she was up to. The girl he thought of had confusing signs of agreement may be he could have been eyeing other men who were far much better than James and who were in the working class for that made her wait to see if James ship could dock their too.

The girl all had the composed beauty to describe about, she was told to wait but she seemed shaken by other men who had crush on her.Oh! Poor James could not get away to secure Laura and convince her to wait for just two and half years and they could celebrate the joy together and lead each other to the dreamed home.

For sure James overpowered by emotions of her girl that could make a good match together seemed shuttered but hope could see him patiently look up her for making up her mind to get convinced and make James the happy man who could have a narrative of love to tell for his achievements and progress.

He tried his best to convince her. That is the time which if she could let and wait James to complete his studies and to live to sees him to put a ring on her finger to live as happy lovely wedded couples.

LET'S KEEP THE PEACE

Kenyan people forget so easily, you may see leaders agree in the open but in the closed where there is no media or any recording they will meet laugh and share their pleasantries. So we should think wisely and avoid this cheap manipulation of thoughts to do heinous crimes which will cause obliteration to our beautiful country. We have no other Kenya stored somewhere that you can run when you have already made here dirty. This from a very close perspective it is history in repetition because the script is just the same but it has different casts. Let unite in the philosophy of peace, love and unity. Let’s have the equality see no harm in your neighbor. MAINTAIN PEACE AS YOU PRAY FOR A BETTER KENYA

                                      SHED YOUR TEARS AWAY

Walking down the pathway,

On one cool evening, having fun

Having friends tagged along her

She walks stealthily on her way home

Quietly she speaks to her friends

Laughs and giggles makes her smile more

Slowly she murmurs to a friend in the ear

As she walks towards home

In a second, she’s stopped by a boy

Greetings in abundance to the girl

It was just simple hi, how are you?

Yes, she replied very fine

The talk went on well, it was time for goodbye

So nice, the moment so superb.

Hugged and all bid each other adieus

Life so kind and tender wow

Felt like a small heaven on earth

It’s called love in the air

Trees could swing to the tune

Birds could whistle to the tune

To chant lyrical music for them

The now called lovebird

The atmosphere of love shelter

Remember that time when he said hi,

You embraced it with a smile and laughter

It was so tender ad fabulous

Let you not weep, now

All seemed well but not, he was a destroyer

In his face he looked innocent

The girl feel in love with him the number one lover

Life was so indispensable to her, never to late anything to chance

But now she felt so lonely ad desolate

But why ad all seemed well, tears I her eyes lingered

Deeply lost in thoughts, down she sits on the sofa

Streams of tears I her eyes, silently she murmurs to herself

Maybe things are not good for her, not working well

Shed your tears away girl all has happened

Hope for another tomorrow, girl stop the thought

Mistakes rod your way, temptations for you

All was done but just say a silent prayer, weep not

Wipe the tears and accept the life you have now

Because all begun with a simple greeting hi!

Still there is hope in you for another tomorrow

As the doctor confirmed to you is true, you have it

Never regret for such a mistake all happened

Shed your tears away, weep not hope

THE JOURNEY IN SEARCH OF MY LOVEby Kevin Anyonge

A tale o hope may be said

An ear to listen to it patiently

A heart my ponder with hope

The mind my dash in thoughts

I may feel some electric flash in my blood

I take a glance at the firmament for a moment

I still in thoughts of my love

Where is she, love come to me, here I wait.

It may be a journey that I have to travel

Years it may take, days will fade away

But a century still counts on

For one day I hope to see my love

In deep sweet good memories

Sitting on a couch I am

I listen to the slow soothing music

Ahhh! The music by Brandy long distance

It tantalizes my soul, arouses my feelings

Overwhelmed by emotions, tears roll down my cheeks

For only you my only one, love where are you?

I set a date for my journey

But never was it enough for me, I had to long for you

In your heart you may remember me _love

My journey begun long time

Do you know where?

Suppose you were near you could know

The journey commenced in my heart

And memories of you planted in my heart

I listen to them in my mind

Slowly, slowly by slowly

Overpowered by emotions, I burst out in tears

Longing, longing love where are you

My journey is still on.
