CHRISTOPHER MUDIENYI Poems

WHEN THE SUN SETS

When the scorching sun slowly sets,
The darker than pitch black the world gets,
...

I heard a knock on the door,
Or was it a thud on the floor,
Wow! My dear friend,
Come out and follow the trend,
...

Gazing at the graveyard's gate,
I hear echoes from the land of the dead,
I hear echoes of the sound of regret,
I hear echoes of the words that remain unsaid,
...

THE OTHER WALLSIDE

On the other side of the wall,
We shall stand and be tall,
...

MY LOVE, MY JOURNEY, MY LIFE.
It is a far journey, my love,
But there's no journey a man may fail to make,
Only if he sets his heart to it, my love,
...

HEAVEN'S VISITING HOURS
If Heaven had visiting hours,
I would visit my grandpa for hours,
And suck the sap and juices from the fruits of his wisdom,
...

WALK WITH ME BY MUDIENYI WA MUSHIRA
I sat under the dreaded sycamore,
I guess that I was no more,
Or was I in slumber land?
...

She looks down her tummy and cries,
She's full with child and full of lies,
The broken promises and shattered dreams,
The promises made during passionate whims,
...

These scars are still crystal clear,
They remind me of that star so dear,
The star that wanted to shine so clear,
Time that has swiftly flown,
...

To Dave, yourself, you gave,
You mother of the grave,
Was that really brave?
Can you still ask us for a way to pave?
...
