Collins Gachomo Poems

Oh, the power of lips, it's quite a surprise,
How much they can say with just one little rise.
A simple pout, a kiss, or a smile,
Can brighten a day, or make it worthwhile.

Makena and Wanjiku, brave and bold,
Lost in the desert, their story untold.
Parched and tired, they trudged for days,
Through towering dunes and endless plains.

African engagement customs are where she fell
Her heart is afire, her love is true
But the customs of her land are quite a few

Of love that soured, and went to hell.

And the sinners come out with a flourish and show.

Where greed for mastery hurts and corrodes.
Political instability, it takes its toll,
As ambitions clash and conflicts unroll.

Mysteries woven, unseen to the eye.
Each link a story, whispers of the past,
A tapestry of secrets, vast and vast.

Of corruption deep, where taxes hold
A grip so tight, it chokes the land
And drains the life from willing hands

Again i'm sitting besides a picture frame
Behind me is a huge wallpaper of you
Creation of a facial structure of you are all over the walls in my room
Dreaming of me and you in a paradise island riding a horse full of red and pink roses
...

Besides me there is a pen and book
The book contains amazing writings of love
Sweet words like a dove
As i write on it, i think of an amazing look
