I REFUSE

I simply refuse to listen to you

You!

Dark, demeaning inner voice
always cropping up> often leaving me with little to rejoice
I refuse to hacken to your prompt
The darkness in your cave is enough blinding
It offers no peace, no comfort
I refuse to bow to your command
This time, just this time, Let me Stand
I need me to allow myself to now understand
I am better off without your advice
What advice is that? one that gives me no choice?
What do I call all this?

That if i am happy , then soon i'l get sad
If i am on my element, someone or something will then get me mad

If I fall in love , that I wont get me loved
If i am tall than I need put on some weight

If dark and lovely, then I need some lightening cream
That if loves leaves me, my life just been but a dream

if lonely , then am all alone
that joy kisses me once so often and in a moment its all gone

that i am a son of failure
and my hope will never mature

that if i sin, pray and repent than i wont be chastised

that when I can, then I cant
and when I could ,you stress I won't
and when i know , u still say I don't show
and all the more make me loose my glow...

....who are you?
speak for your lowly self now!
For that s who you are
How dare you? I refuse you!

I choose to loose your signal
you can bet me to tune to your rival
That sweet,loving voice thats truly gentle
The God"s voice
The comforter

For the comforter declares

He knew me while in my mother's womb
and even deeper to know the number of my hair
and when im in need, He's always there
when weak,He makes me strong
I call unto me, and hears me and undo my wrongs
He sticks closer than a brother
The strong tower I can run to and I am safe
By His stripes I am healed
when poor , He says that I am rich
That I am who He says I am
fearfully and wonderfully made
That He came to give me more life ...and abundantly
Even died, that I can live forever

..and you dare say that u are clever?

Now I know , Now I embrace
the Right voice
God's loving voice
Finaly something I cant worth loosing

But You.....
You dark,demeaning,esteem shattering,life consuming ,lonely ,shameful voice

You...

I refuse!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINNIEE...!!

Besides the beauty endowed by the streams of a river
flowing againist the morning sunshine..,
We very well know purity lies within.

Beyond the person we all see and know,
More than what meets the eye...,
I am honoured to know the
precious jewel you are,

The dime harboured deep inside
The Grace you adore your life with,
The Love you freely sprinkle around,
Joy you abudantly ,unto others , pour...
Friends, Acquintances,Strangers,..
To all

Indeed
As you begin a new chapter
in another bright birthyear,
I can only add that knowing you
and having you as a friend has been
and always will be something special..

May the Good Lord add to your bosom more blessings than you can contain,..

Happy birthday gal! ...

Mirror; Mirror!

Mirror, Mirror
You're truth couldn't be more clearer
The incoherent thoughts that dictate my mind
Sometimes , running to and fro
Then my hope subsides
The shattered image of me I see
Sometimes
over and over that my heart believes

Mirror, Mirror
Youre song couldn't be more sweeter
The tune to a melody seldom heard
Piercing my soul then leaves it tattered
The traces of which lie scattered
and again; my accustomed mental brocken record
plays again over

Mirror, Mirror
Cast your eyes off from me!
Cover sometimes your blatant honesty
can't you see my tragedy?
Reveal onto me the things I need only see
Can't you be a little more wiser?
My dear Mirror , Mirror?

Then again
That is your purpose
Telling me like it is

Mirror, Mirror
To me you could'nt be more dearer!

SeNd Mi a DrOp!

Send Me....
A drop of love
gently on my stilled ,empty heart
Then just watch...
carefully
as it spreads
Swiftly
arbsorbing the unjust loneliness
Just watch..
as it captures
Quickly
The tune to which it was meant for
Now watch...
as it fills
Completely
The hole that hurt dug in a huff

..AmaZinG

Just watch...what a drop from you can do
WoW!
Care to send me a drop of Love?
And Watch...
Slowly
A bucketfull being reurned for your share

THE MIND;THE SPIRIT & HOPE

The pavillions of my forlon fantasy
is shrouded by the darkness of a destiny ensnared!
The authenticity of my faith threatened by the selfishness
of my insatiable emotions.
Always seeking but never finding
Ever consuming but never fulfilling
Who cares for a flimsy pain?
To whose heart and love can my predicament
be tolerated and arbsorbed?
I am crusing towards the proverbial bruising

I need stop and learn
in more ways than one
A hope that basks in the serenity of a lavish future
waiting to be entrusted by a willing soul
Freely given;Freely taken
conditions this precious life 's treasure

Help me not waver
Pray I don't stutter
For my carnal mind fails my spirit's quest
To trust a God of possiblities
in my own "devised-world of Imposiiblities"
Like there's one!
For when troubles upon me assail
My God never fails!

I need then paint my mind anew
Keepo the belief pure and true
This Is It!

Special Blessings from Heaven in two thousand and seven

PRODIGAL SON OF LUCK!

You once told me that boundless optimism Is only for dreamers
Do my efforts evoke from you a compliment? Or just a wayward sentiment?
I’d cherish to warn the hearts of the your adoring kindred without the need to rub the magic ball with my nonchalant efficacy
…but Here I toil in your absence.
Searching for one bit if this life of mine that makes sense!
I’d wish you wouldn’t be to me so condescending with my chances that I bring to you in begging
But its up to me to interpret that the lull before the storm should be my guiding light to my way home
So I pray you receive me with open arms and make me shine more with your loving touch!

GOLDEN..

Poet Robert Frost once said,'nothing gold can stay'.

Robert Kuria defied logic because eternally inprints of life's simple but essentiall traits will be left for us to cherish.He wasnt someone to impress on first-impressions-type-of situations but to me he will be rememberd for the abudant love he showed towards his family i.e my family and for the countless things he taught me,surprisingly not through words but mere actions.Though without not his share of imperfections,it encourages me to know he died trying.... trying to maintain our & his pride,trying to hustle and most importanty,trying to love.

Robert John Philip Kuria
1946-2007

*short euology by David W. Kuria

SOMEBODY; ANYBODY

SOMEBODY; ANYBODY!

Who’s to deny the clamour?
A mind hallowed with mixed anger
no wonder my soul’s vexation of a deeper and painful proportion
The world in my mind crammed and peopled with creatures and desires of its own imagination.
Blanking the absurd reality which lacks form and direction
Perceivable in my own ideallyic way.

Somebody help me!
Anybody please!

The obscured light adds to my distress
Its pale –blue rays onto my eyes and path fail to impress
And now the silenced gloom wells up in my heart.
My lfe’s bearings squashed and scattered on the dump earth
My present split apart!
I graon into my future.Come!

Somebody help me!
Anybody please!

Clamp me; Hold me close to your loving bosom
Capture my tears in your gentle embrace
Blow the scales from my eyes and help me fathom
The meaning of a true friend!
The power of a simple prayer!
The love of an eternal God!

Somebody help me!
Anybody please!

EASTER LOVE POEM

EASTER’S LOVE NOTE!

The Source! Of the blinding lustre of the midnight stars
That declares its presence
The sheer dominance and the daring beauty!
Capturing the human heart ; old and young alike and mine in particular!
My eyes dwell, looking up and smile ..to these endearing white diamonds
which perch themselves across the warm April skies
as I enjoy the bond they share with the peeping moon…

who can deny that love fills my heart.
And my feelings for you sinks even deeper
And in the moment, my soul is sustained with the whisper in the breeze;
Caressing my face .your countenance I adore!
I close my eyes …yet you manage to steal my abiding teardrop;
Absorbing it in your earthly formed dust beneath my feet.
We connect!
I notice the warmth of your touch
I wish you close..
Yet you couldn’t be to me even more closer!

You’ve always been.
I don’t want to move!
I wish to stand here and share this forever….
Then my lips gently speaks
And my knees instantly grow weak
Yes! I’ve grown and I’m a man enough to say and understand
That now more than ever…..
“I love you”
“I truly fallen more in love with you today..”
As surely as the light is to the day
I pledge and pray
I’ll be yours till eternity gives up on its promise of being forever!
I surely can never deny
-pause-
I’ve fallen in love with you Jesus
Thank you for dying for me and giving me the gift of life and salvation!

My Beloved Justice!

The Former Glory

Among the pillars you firmly stood!
Strong, Unyielding and just as good.
A foundation unto which all men ranked equal.
and in your eyes , every one you treated the same
Or so I thought
Until...
well Untill..the day your tenets demeaned to naught
Your vitues decayed and clot
and for a few pennies you could be skewed and cassually bought
Now your beams keep rotting away
and day by day
it gets hard for me to say
...I knew you!

The Consequenses

How sadness has become a mind's habitual
yielding men as prey
Faith and Hope the subsides into frozen anonymity
While your kind deny its own identity
Falling into the common drift
..A Society's misfit!

To the poor and the legally oppressed
To the souls that cry out seeking recompesse

The Manifest

Your Executive-stained glasses blurs your vision
For you to see the hurt
The wrongs you need revert
To blow the Horn of Truth
You now desert!
Instead..
You cling to your priviledged Masters
Them who hold you as a puppet for the own conniving whims
as the stomachs fill to the brims
The ill-gotten wealth from the public coffers!

The call to Life

I cry out for you My Beloved Justice
I cry to you..
To rise once more and bring Honour to the fore!
To renew your Youth like the dew-kissed dawn
Everyday...
soothing the charred edges amongst us
with the abrasive of your discipline..,
and the guidance of your wisdom!

I cry for the redeeming light
to begin to thaw
your ice-caged , calloused heart
To make you speak a blessing
To whom you had previously sown a curse
To spur the change
And bring to Life a Hope we've long envisaged!


The Dream we have of you

Then your healing Fountain will trickle down its waters
and cleanse the tarnished ground onto which we stand
Begin to Charter
The Template that paves unto us another..
The Citizens' Right!
Everyone's Requisite!
Justice for All
Equal among All!

I cry out for you My Beloved Justice!

The Purpose-Star*

(the morning of 25th january 2005..)

Light succumbed my soul
My mind's imagination then spunned outta control

The darkness that disguised my goal
was crushed underneath my foot's sole
And Lo,

The beginning; The end locked together in embrace
and as one ..
they became one in thine mixing bowl
the dough then concetrated
translated
and the revelation began to crawl
deep into my heart

(the late afternoon on 27th january 2007)

The story that was seldom told
suddenly begins to unfold
and there...

(pause)

I behold

(with awesome wonder)

The moment
The rewarding present
Mine truly reminiscent

The purpose-star*

Where Eagles Soar

(This is an excert from Jamie Buckingham book "where eagles soar".)

"...Yet God never puts a desire in our heart or beckon us to walk on water ,unless He intends for us to step out in Faith and at least make the attempt.
Whether we archieve or not is almost immaterial , the passing of the test lies in whether we try , in whether we are willing to be obedient to the inner call to greatness-The onward call to spiritual adventure.."

-very nice!

God bless al you all my beloved friends!

from a cyber in buru

On That Day...

On that day..
when the wind will go silent
and the sun melts in its sky's socket

On that day...
when roses shall loose their scent
and the seas dry up and forsake its waters

Yes, On that day..
when the rainbow shall turn gray
and the midnite stars refuse to shine
when the birds will deny their song
and the morning , with all her bright , shall decline

On that day..
when the moon behind the clouds wil hide, disenchated
and the sands of time will blow away with reckless abandon
when winter , summer, autumn, and spring
shall despise their duty calls
and some shall get to little and little to none

On that day..
will my love for you greatly abound
and my eyes shall pierce into yours
and gaze into your soul
and on it will i see the reflection of our bond
the promise I made to God and before men,
that you are my girl
and forever to love you always!

DESIRE!

Desire of the touch/
gentle and serene or as such/
Desire just as great/
driving force in my quest/
taste of its sweetness/
or seek it while in your bitter state/
Desire just as good as its prior/
Only now that its pure/
For sure, The desire I long/
The desire in me still strong/
You wouldn't tell/
You can never smell/
I loose it then i'm an empty shell/
This desire; burning like fire/
Always growing for the higher/
I know I can't let it go/
For the deeper I sink,The larger it grows/
My desire to touch that star/
to be that dream/
My desire and nothing more/
Desire of thine heart...!

Life's Rubies!

The Fragrance of Peace
that spreads like wildfire
sparkling flames of truce
rekindling tolerance in the souls
of the hurting; blows just as once
then from a distance ...comes;

The Sight of love
The precipice to mine heart's content
An enchatment coming true
To whom, I choose to be an open protocol
pouring down like desert rain
draining away the solitude
and with it; the sound beckons...

The Sound of Hope
streaminmg in like a thousand galloping horses
carrying the infinite message
restoring flesh to them dying bones
and in the twinkle of an eye
Life renews itself!
It always does.
And were thereby arbsorbed with...

The Touch of Time
once more, like an encore
giving us the second chance
to redeem our fading song, with
a dance...
Then they wish to stay & sometimes we let them leave
I pray this time I get to keep
these charming,freely given Life rubies!
as they are hard to come by and so precious to loose!

DestinyDom:'Let my People go'

Destinydom:waitin',Anticipatin'
Praisin'
The revelation to them then commence
Them who deluded to my very existence
Now cursing my actions claiming they weren't civil?
But who's to deny I lived medevial
and in His time , nothing's trivial!
Destinydom:For me now awaits
so turn over to a new page
and loose the rage
I'm the bird that flew from its prison cage
I gave you all the clues
Heck, I even clothed in black
but your light would'nt shine enough
to ease the dark for you to se my tracks
Now I understand...
I wasn't a dilemna
to you, just an enigma!
Destinydom:Waitin' , Anticipatin'.

End of part 2

Destinydom:A few hours and counting..

Destinydom: a few hours and counting..
Fantasizing..
cradledom has but long envisaged
a protagonist's triumph
in his life-paradigm's play
However nondescript
Desire still stood;despite the delay!
The remnants of a wish
The treasure of a promise
The Prompt in the blessing
Commensurate of a Father's love to his child
Destinydom:a few hours and counting..
