Maureen Nanjala Poems

A ring upon the finger, A smile for all to see, A shared name,
A house adorned with roses, And bars no one can see.

The walls are painted golden,
...

Its so complicated
Ever since i was born
Everybody lives to fight against
Just to hope one day we win
...

All i pined for was a shoulder to lean on
All i knelt for was a friend to count on
Was i scraping the bottom of the barrel?
We got closer and how i lost in your world
...

She knew it was time
Time to hold a new tittle
She always prayed for this day
That she could scream from pain
...

On the front porch, relaxing old man in a rocking chair
I apperceive its finally dusk
Twilight drops her curtains down,
To embrace a beautiful constellation of stars
...

At 25 on knees,
A wish you conformed, holding a ring
Time never stands still
No other I'd rather be with
...

People are like seasons…

Some arrive like summer,
warm enough to make you believe they were meant to stay.
...
