Francis Wanyiri Poems

Faith against distrust
Disbelief meets mistrust
But when such clashes find a common enemy
Then 'virtues' of lies are embraced
...

Nerves shiver, it is just a call
Even when speaking, still missing
Encounter feelings
A painful passion
...

Intrigued of personality
Ashamed of my iniquities
amidst all these imperfections
I long for perfections
...

If you were to choose
between known and unknown
would you pick the unknown
and be the first to know
...

Today! Tonight it's about touch but not too much
lest you catch a cold of the heart
when you detach after the test-match
But if you do too much, stretch touch to the heart
...

There is red in her lips
And the very light of brown
Clothed in white and black.
Still can see light skin blend her dark
...

How do I hide this letter from all eyes but yours
Yet put it out for all to know it is meant for you
to endure the thought that it'll softly compel comprehension
but still endeavor to direct your attention to our special connection
...

If I can have one night
of limitless light
and loudest silence
with my spirit in sight
...

Kenya under Kenyatta under attack...
Just turned fifty, way after forty with barely any fortress
Not that ever we've never bled this much
Today fifty, before one, we bled from blades and bullets
...

I wonder why people party so crazily
Mindlessly drink and recklessly drunk
They say 'to release stress infuse drink'
An acceptable cause of loss I think
...
