Wambui Karanja Poems

All day she stands doing her work
they watch her as they pass by with almost all of them wishing get a piece of her,
they want to use her, abuse her and then watch her down
do they think she has no ambitions?
...

I do my painting in the dark, because i dont want anyone to see them.
they are the paintings of my life, paintings of my love-life
a love-life that is so complicated, one that i prefer watching as a movie and pray that my role as a character will one day change.
i convince my mind otherwise but it still knows that am living a lie,
...

The thought of your body...aah!
makes me smile even when you are far
you are one being i wouldn't want to be separated from,
you read my deepest emotions
...

Why pay for that one fact?
No ever takes her seriously.

Why pay for that one fact?
...

Read in disbrief, my heart so glad
My mind in confusion, will this really last?
Not a promise is made, the tunnel ain't clear
But it sure looks better
...
