Poems by Michael Wamalwa : 11 / 12
Sowig where you did not reap
In the dark,
The core of the night.
When all the creatures,
In dreamland they dwelt,
You crept,
Toes in the air,
To steal my being,
In my mind
A house you built,
In my heart,
Your lawn you mowed.
Little did I know,
A stealer you were.
When dawn came,
My body,
Your asset you made.
In the end,
Your slave I became,
A thief,
For sure you are.
