Charles Wamuti Poems

Somebody misses your smile,
The hugs and love you share,
The warmth in your heart,
The love in your eyes,
...

A ride outstanding it was among others,
Long enough but seemingly just a second,
Many ordinary people around me save for a special one,
You made it just like the two of us in the whole world.
...

I’m scared you will leave,
I’m scared I’m going to be lonely,
I’m scared to lose you,
I’m scared my heart will be empty.
...

Everyone is searching for something,
They travel east to west in zeal,
They hunt as if looking for treasure,
Deep down the jungle they scan,
...

They all compete for a seat
Parliamentary, governor, and even presidential,
They lie that every home I will visit,
That even the poor have the potential,
...

On the other side of the track she stood,
Busy laughing and chatting with her friends,
Maybe about school, maybe about boys,
Too happy and merry but little did she know,
...

Sometimes I know,
Sometimes I think I know,
Sometimes I’m sad,
Sometimes I’m glad,
...

Butterfly butterfly, fly high to the sky,
Let everyone see how beautiful you are,
Among thousands you stand out, why lie,
Flutter those wings till everyone says “Wah”!
...

Its days like this,
That I wanna fall on my knees,
And tell you what are my pleas -
Love for you I have that can’t cease,
...

The heart is a strange thing,
It bears no thought,
Yet has so much to say,
It gets so burnt,
...
