Linus Kithinji Njeru Poems
Like a mother mine was delighted, she gave birth,
A joy most pure, like breath of life upon this earth.
Great as the dawn when first we took our breath,
And like the sun, we gleamed with hope, not death.
...
Happy and glad am I, for Nature's gift,
A lady fair, from distant lands, adrift.
A treasure brought by Fate, my heart doth yearn,
For she, whose thought doth make my spirit burn.
...
We barely bonded, nine months in peace,
A time of calm, of quiet release.
In stillness, we shared the earth's embrace,
A simple life in that sacred space.
...
I shall find some time to read,
To establish the link, the bond indeed.
To breathe in the scent of thy art,
And feel the theme that stirs my heart.
...
Who said one cannot love more than one?
For I once did, and still love these two,
A bond so strong, so deep, so true,
Love for the girl, and her mother, too.
...
My mind and soul arise, to face this strife,
The past within us rekindles life.
The future calls, with steps to take,
Overcoming obstacles, for love's own sake.
...
A newly met soul, thy light doth glow,
Illuminating shadows where dull moments flow.
Thou entered my world, a flame in the gloom,
Inviting me into thy sacred bloom.
...
When we touch you, dear, at break of morn, and ne'er forget,
Still you, unyielding, do not touch us back, and our hearts fret.
Like fingers dipped in honey's sweet embrace, then licked,
A single touch leaves us yearning, souls afflict.
...
The zzzziiiing ziiing thundered past the hermit's door,
Bees hurried onward, towards the mountain's distant shore.
To the honey palace, they raced in haste,
But the old hermit's warnings were quickly erased.
...
A reply to 'Hear Me, My Love'
I heard your words, my precious one,
And felt the ache of battles won—
...
What shall I say in response to this plight?
When shall the world reveal its true light?
Of the conception borne by our mothers so dear,
Or the tender and harshness they silently bear.
...
My journey was jagged, my terrain was tough,
No golden start, no easy stuff.
From chalk-stained desks to midnight oil,
I learned to earn through sweat and toil.
...
The path was rugged, the nights were cold,
The dreams I carried felt too bold.
Each step was heavy, each door was closed,
Yet I pressed on, though no one knows.
...
A Prophetic Poem of Legacy, War, and Divine Rising
I stood on the soil my sweat had sealed,
Where dreams were sown and wounds were healed,
...
By a Father in a Dream
At 2: 37, the silence broke,
The screen blinked blue, the house still spoke.
...
In the hush between heartbeats,
your breath catches—
not from surprise,
but from the way she looks at you
...
TOIL NOT WAGED
In the minuscule hours of the mornings awoken by prosperity passion
The toil in quest of better days promised after the unkind mornings,
I saw myself; my future family freely faming in superfluity
...
I heard her voice from far, a cry of woe,
Like a mistress lost, her heart in tow.
She called out to the world, a desperate plea,
Begging for acceptance, to be seen.
...
You are the muse, the spark, the fire,
The theme that stirs my heart's desire.
In every verse, your name I cast,
For in your thought, my world is vast.
...
The great and the little, both share the same plight,
The brave and the cowards, both face the same night.
The lords and the slaves, all bound by the same,
In the end, all are equal, none greater, none tame.
...

The Best Poem Of Linus Kithinji Njeru
In Pursuit Of Shadows
Like a mother mine was delighted, she gave birth,
A joy most pure, like breath of life upon this earth.
Great as the dawn when first we took our breath,
And like the sun, we gleamed with hope, not death.
Lo, we did dream of days in learning's thrall,
And thought great knowledge would our hearts enthrall.
We sought, with zeal, the treasures men desire,
And thought that gold could kindle love's true fire.
How grand the love for riches and for fame,
How lofty men did seek to build their name.
And in the toil, the sweat, and joys of men,
We thought we'd rise to heights again and again.
Yet when the work did weigh upon the heart,
Our love grew dim, its spark began to part.
For 'twas not gold nor gold alone that fed,
But the love of life, the mind, the soul, the bread.
Now pride in knowledge—how it doth unfold,
More prized than wisdom ancient, pure, and bold.
The words we spoke, the tongues we did employ,
Forgetting all the simple joys of joy.
We fought, with pride, for titles, gifts, and men,
And in our quest, we fought the battle then.
The more we took the lovers to our side,
The more we thought that we had naught to hide.
How grand the feast, the lavish taste of ease,
How sweet the depth in which our hearts did please.
How soft the touch that brought us pain and bliss,
How deep the taste of sin's most tender kiss.
How wondrous, too, when we did fear no foe,
Nor God, nor law, nor right, nor love did show.
How great the fear when we must face our end—
What tribulations shall to death descend?
