kelvin karani Poems

I should have written a letter
To you Mr. President. But time
And thought disagreed with me.
I had my pencil and piece of paper
...

What would life be like
If the promises of forever
Like time or existence
Outlived our spoken words.
...

NOT YET…
1.
It’s a century now
Since sand sucked blood
...

What does one write?

Of a person so sad
...

POET INCARNATE

What is poetry friend?
...

I’ll write you a poem
Which will by the day remind you
That I’m still lurking around
As a good friend who’s always true
...

TRAGIC ENCOUNTER

His heart was crushed,
...

When the mzungu came
With a sword in one hand
And the holy bible in the other
Asking our people in prayer to close eyes
...

Looking back into the past
My life is a rain forest
A desert, bigger than the Sahara
And I, an almost lone sojourner
...

That day I shall see you again
The cacophony in me will be quelled
For your presence will erase all pain
And extricate I from the loneliness in which I’m condemned
...
