Abdalla Juma Shenga Poems

Pursue your goals
Awake your dreams
Conquer the beast of self doubt
Restraining you
...

Death is like a friend that is always with you
Like a wife, in sickness and in health
In poverty and in wealth
Death is always watching you
...

I am no fool as I once was,
Gave you my fragile heart,
You shattered it unremorsefully.
I see nothing but trickery,
...

It was as if the wind, had blown
Stardust in my eyes enchanting me,
With such charm upon perception
Of beauty, so luminously displayed,
...

Best sit alone absorbed,
Wonderous world how silly became.
Best keep circle small unpertubed,
Knowing not rabid-dog's name,
...

This fire burning within my chest,
I need it to keep burning and I’ll be best.
This inferno blazing within my chest,
Burns through obstacles and every test.
...

Noise, noise, noise.
No peace at home, all good unseen.
Microscopic mistakes magnified and used to the fullest,
To torment and attack.
...

No more darkness,
No more coldness,
The long night is over,
The cock has finally crowed,
...

To taste is not to eat,
Love is a thirst that cannot be quenched by a sip.
Once the heart learns to yearn, it lights a fire that would forever burn.
Many have gone mad, for they tasted and never got eat.
...

Real things don't last, fake things do.
Fresh roses plucked from nature
Shrivel after a single adventure
Artificial roses, last for a thousand poses
...
