Merlin Mwaura Poems

I lost it yesterday,
I Sort a blade and went for cupid...
She said I was hurting her,
I said, ' I know! '
...

Picture a construction site at Kibera,
Musyoki will go to Mama Fatuma's Cafe,
ready made Githeri and some Wali,
maybe try Mama Omosh's keja,
...

I can relate,
translate a little Italian,
quench this thirst,
with some vino,
...

There was a time I wasn't sure
what I could be capable of...
That a man can be the tears,
a bloodied nose,
...

Into the Darkness.

Light has come and died,
The echoes of silence faded…
...

Start the engine,
start it properly...
take this property,
take it all with me.
...

Take a pen and ponder,
wonder around things not mentioned,
waiting for you to propose,
spend time trying to front,
...

All it takes is a simple yes,
all it takes is a little mess,
to start it all,
to ruin it all.
...

Open a red letter an' read...
a life in words I attempt to freeze.
there are fine winds blowing,
heavenly sunset an' towering castles of cloud.
...

Dry leaves in my pocket,
dry this tears from my socket,
falling from trees t'is my progress
wanting some quiet in a moment.
...
