Edwin Owade

When I was there,
She was after fame and he after femme fatale,
They rock and roll in a roller-coaster of love and titanic flare,
Fair to say she was on instagram and twitter looking for a perfect pal,
...

QUICK, like a hot fiery comet,
She landed on my hearts' crust.
Surreptitiously, quenching a deep desire,
A desire for love and affection,
...

Gentle breeze of the coastal winds,
Wafting the forgotten,
From far, soothing whispers of lost reality,
With its melodious tunes of turbulent waves;
...

Jeez! ! ! You look familiar, with a smile ear to ear,
OH my…, I must have seen you somewhere,
I am that guy on IG, I said without a dent of fear,
I mean I'm the real OG over there,
...

Away drifting,
Like a boat by the sea,
Dancing upon the face of the waters.
From the deep sea of my heart,
...

You're a candle,
A burning candle,
A bright burning candle in this dreadfully silent night,
Illuminating our shattered dreams,
...

There he is the omniscient,
A guru of the current and the ancient,
Graduate of linguistics from the mighty kibabii,
Mannerism of the queens' land from looks to accent of ‘'bees''
...

If I must write,
Let it be an ode canvassed in black and white,
Free from farce and stylistically free verse,
Paragon of virtue in its pithy and terse,
...

Noon breeze of the monsoons winds, behold a real buzz,
Still fresh the lyrics, tempo, and message of the 'dance n' shake' band,
Son of my mother the last heir to the Baz,
The cuisine of our motherland cures, not the fries of the queen's land,
...

Habibi,
Your gait and inviting lazy waist,
Ooze's hotness like the dusty Mambrui sandy dunes.
Deeply buried in the contour of your cleavage,
...

Far and wide
East to the west side
They'll rise
In unison en masse
...

Fiery clouds of terror,
Hovering above our serene motherland,
From east to west,
Igniting sparks of suffering and thunderbolts of deaths,
...
