Sweet Girl, May I?,Can I?....

Preamble

Can perfection be more than perfect?
Can reality be sweeter than the Fiction?
Can beauty be all-together this lovely?
Its in the warmth of your hand
the twisting;the styling of your dark hair
your endearing persona
that soft voice
those cute eyes
that makes me truly smitten and thats no lie...

So pardon me for asking but......

May I carry u everyday in my mind?
May I pray that u fall in love with me if only for a day?
May I talk to u if only for a lifetime?
May I write for u a poem and cherish every line?
Sweet Girl, May I?

Can I sing for you the song that never fades?
Can I ask u out on a picnic date
Can I hold u longingly in my heart late @ nite as I watch the velvet sky?
Can I wish you near the rush of the day while the sun shines from way up high?
Can I talk u for a walk in the park and watch the floating orchids by the river and have u home before its dark?

Can I stop thinking and do what I think?
Can I write u a love letter till my pen runs out of ink?
Can I mean what I say and say what I mean?
and Can U tell my friends ur the cause of my constant sheen?
Sweet Girl, Can I?

Can I watch u sleep then wake u up and take u on a countryside trip?
Can I souve myself ur lovely scarf and tell u stuff that just makes u laugh?
Can U allow me to steal some occasional glances
and feel a brutha when he makes his shy but daring advances?

Can I not wait till tomorrow but say what I have today?
and do today what I failed to say yesterday?
Can I sway u with just my nerve and a bit of style , make u smile and when I'm far its just my number that u dial?
Sweet Girl ,Can I?

Can I be the difference u've always longed for in a guy?
Can I make u testify
not all men are dogs (esp the one who's writting on this blog?)>>>>
and when I start feeling hot , like now,
Can U be the one who bursts my bubble ,with love, and graciously make me take the bow?
May I put all these in a vow
and without regard to when, what, why and how?
with the lovely stem of a rose
againist the backdrop of the august sunset drop to my one knee and propose?

Sweet Girl, Can I?

So let me need u and never want u!
Let me part of ur enchantment coming true!
Coz my heart tell me about u, just u, and only u!

For Love is the debt I owe
so kindly allow the seeds I sow
be the garden to which my commitment grows
So Sweet Girl May I ?, Can I?

....Your Answer now I Await...

DesTiNy!

I believe in Destiny
I believe in the beauty of its reality
The uniqueness of its serenity warms my heart
as my soul is encapsuled by its bounty
my mind wanders in its corridors
clinging to the images; those spell-binding images of Forever!


I trust in the path that leads to destiny
I surrender willingly to the God Given Precepts
That template He Guides me with can never be treated with contempt
For in its rays; destiny's rays
they shine and brights my face
How lovely is this place..
I can't help but lie therein dazed!


I know I will get there ...and soon
Time no more for malady and gloom
I enjoy every precious and present moment
I delight ; I bathe in its sweet smelling incense
How sweet has been my quest
a few tears, hurts here and there but i've passed the test
My journey : The pleasure and the pain
no matter what I count it all gain
For my destiny lies my purpose
and this is destiny..

TO BE KENYAN _ LEST WE FORGET

How pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity
said the famous psalmist and I wish...
for something went amiss
and now no one is at peace
Everything, Everywhere ..total unease
someone tell me please....

How did we break the bond?
Why are we reaping discord yet we never sowed the seeds?
Why are we giving ground for hate to breed?
weve come a long way to end to this.
Take a minute and entreat our beloved peace
surely were one..we have been one
Different tribes , Different clans
But one !

Look at the innocent blood soaking our land
Look at the fire razing down our houses ,our property
Look at the crude weapons we now hold in our hands
ready to slaughter one another on the alter of cheap politics
Look how foolishly we fell for these polluticians tricks...
Yet do they care?
Do they really have us in their minds?
For power , greed , Love for money make them blind
Beloved people we are not of their kind
WE BELONG TO KENYA
we take pride in being one
let us rekindle the love weve always shown one another
care for one another
Kikuyu Luo Kisii Kamba Luhya
Different ethnics but woven with the same fabric
Kenya..
Our fathers paid a heavy price
Let us not mock freedom with this lowly vice

Let us look beyond the dark clouds
Let us see the morning sun of hope
Let our diversity make us proud
Let every man , woman , boy and girl
every kenyan
dwell in unity
Peace and Liberty
and may plenty be found within our borders
for this is our righteous duty..
To Be Kenyan, Lest we Forget!

God Bless Kenya!

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!


-END-

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*
