Mark Otieno Poems

You say it's love
You can feel it in your blood
How can that be true?
When its all about money with you
...

I stole a smile from a child
I walked with it for a while
It almost made me cry
...

You're the flower and i the bee
You're the root and i the tree
You're the river and i the source
You're the song and i the voice
...

Do you want someone perfect?
Whose skin has no scar
Whose upright at every aspect
Whose dreams shine brighter than the star
...

Which mask should i wear today?
That will hide away my pain
I'll pick the one with a smile
What if i start to cry?
...

She's the apple in my eye
Most think my love is a lie
They say am after her cars and jewels
She always smile and ignore their empty tunes
...

I stared at her nails
As i gave her away
I felt a loneliness
Underneath my breast
...

I've lost the drive to write
Am now like a child lost in the night
Confused and scared
Frozen in mind
...

The times you were here
I never did notice
I remember you now with every tear
And each time my heart feels empty
...

Am scared to open my eye
To realize you're not really mine
That it was all but a dream
I feel bad because it felt real
...
