kelvin karani Poems

On the pavements
Of international streets
Outside the big banks
Sits the beggar. Pecuniary problems
...

In my solitary walks yester night
I saw pretty twinkling stars
And thought of the one who has my heart
Stolen through her bedroom eyes
...

My lines lie there, impotent
Meaningless monologue to disinterested listeners
The wise fools piously defy the gospel of the poet
People prefer priests and politicians
...

TIME ALONE KNOWS
Time alone knows
When we beyond words
And these facelessness
...

I hear their cry
Dejected and lonely they are
Wanting company; our company
They are not there anymore
...

I have been chasing
A shadow
Something temporarily existing
Tiring the marrow
...

A good cup of coffee
Some conscious reggae music
A sweet faithful spouse
Some philosophy books
...

Intertwined emotions are expressed,
Tangled, interwoven in each other
Flowing from within, closets closed
Just like in a river,
...

Love, precious love
Implore you be good to us.
Let us have
The joys that you posses;
...

Birds in the trees happily chirp
Praise and worship songs leave their tiny beaks
Side to side, from tree to tree they jump
In a pious dance unlike some mortals
...
