kelvin karani Poems

Time and circumstance

Have denied us a chance
...

The aesthetics of a Kenyan death

Is a cathartic tragic play
...

There is no tarmac here,

Just this murram road
...

A FOOLISH GIVER
Canto 1

A cheerful giver
...

Trees swayed in the wind
Dogs barked cows mowed
It was like nothing had happened
And yet, he lay there, unmoving
...

They said the one on the tree

Died for all to be free
...

I sit here wondering

Where the words
...

Thoughts flood my mind
Questions turn things downside up
The rains of uncertainty
Join to form turbulent rivers
...

when today turns into past
and my poetic hairs turn black
and my pen refuses to last
and my creative bones crack;
...

Last night was fresher’s night
But that perhaps counted not
