David N. Munene Poems

Stare not my friend,
This tie I wear is a fiend
Don't wish I should you lend,
'tis a loop that will soon send
...

He is always there
Sleeping like a mad man
Walking in a wacko's gait
And opening the bus gate
...

Is it possible that we
Are in love yet free
Is love a bondage we should flee?
Or is it a haven we will never see?
...

There is a way special people connect
Through barriers they dissect
Their wishes and urges running simultaneously erect
They communicate without knowing
...

Beyond belief
Lies so much relief
That wipes away all grief
When our conscience still harbours
...

They occur when we least expect
Easy to accept; difficult to accept
All change... change that shoves
That which cushions like gloves
...

Unique we are
That we shall remain
On your wedding day,
Or mine...
...

I see into ten, twenty years from now
Beauty and elegance by the superhighway
Quite dazzling if you ask me
Impressively puzzling to fathom
...

My life was by you reinvented
I believe this with awed feeling
When I smell how sweetly you are scented
...
