Sammy Aswani Luyove Poems

I remember some time back,
When I was the only child on your back
Food was plenty, I ate as I could
And me, I was all you valued,
...

Those sunken cheeks are not her own
My darling was a thing,
In fact those sunken cheeks
That you now call wrinkles
...

I listened...and heard
The yelling of the poor child;
Bones bulging from the head,
And I wondered,
...

On the road to the grinding mill,
Where my wife grinds her posho,
There, by the path-side,
In the tallest of the thickest grass,
...

HOT RAIN

I see it falling,
As it showers on me like a hot geyser,
...

Time Is Dump (I)

Having had your dose of 'piriton'
You still couldn't sleep on!
...

Time Is Dump (II)

When you pronounced your love
I felt like a male dove,
...

Time Is Dump (III)

I recall the day we were on an outing
At an adventure valley in the Rift,
...

When tomorrow plans to go astray
Bowels won't hold but shaky shy
Yet tomorrow must come anyway
The sun sets and darkness draws nigh
...

There lives our stepmother
Far in the North East,
She enslaved the chosen generation,
And now she steals and banks our soils
...
