David N. Munene Poems

I saw him there; he stood and knocked
Just as I perceived, his knock unwelcome
For his silence seemed to the guard turbulent
As carbon Di, in a coke bottle cocked
...

I weep for Africa
I dance for Africa
I ululate for Africa
And sing;
...

For need beyond comprehension
She takes and needs a recess that causes tension
In respect it’s accepted lest we contradict the sensation
“Not long”, she has stated; trust is taken by she by mention
...

for thine is a day different from the others
A sabbath rather more Sabbath than all the others
None like it will in 365 be; it with its glory you smothers
Shifts of routine may not be, just the routine feeling one gathers
...

When you get sick and are healed,
we think it’s 'coz our physician is too experienced
When we have enough to harvest,
we think that we ploughed too well
...

Hey candle light lighting up the night
I wonder how you keep up the fight
This that sees you maintain your plight
With simplicity untold you are so bright
...

You have a soul
You speak from the soul
You care about me
You trust me
...

The piece of art that met my part
Is a masterpiece like none other in art
It forms a part of me now,
Apart from it not being part of what I know
...

Super gorgeous girl,
who when you tear drops,
comes to you to you lull?
Or who sets the props,
...

Late out of state without absolute hate,
I decline to incline my fate into failure’s plate
I perceive not me able to be for you that great
Yet you make perfect of me, even in my state
...
