SHELTON SIMIYU Poems

I won't get tired my love
To wait for thy precious heart
For hope I do have
That this secret love grows.
...

My life is like a song.
A song that with smile it begins.
And ends in agony.
Once life was divine
...

Great are the wings.
That at my bare back lie
But I just can't fly.
To my one destiny
...

Each day I wake up
As the sun rises up
Fear shakes my mind
Hoping the world to be kind
...

I heard the loud wail
Of a heart in jail
Crying with pain
But all was in vain
...

With smile I make a rhyme
For this beautiful damsel come
Let's praise pat in a rhyme
And dance this tune to clime
...

For so long she wandered.
In search of true love, she wept
for her fragile broken heart.
And regretted loving so much
...

To the nations the gospel I spread
With no fear I do speak of the love
That God to the world showed
And reconciled us to him.
...

Sisera, like a soldier I do come
This unconditional love to spread.
Of the true God to serve
And the root to salvation.
...

A black Friday do we rise
To take you home mwalimu
So much will you be missed
Colleagues with pain we mourn.
...
