MY LOVE

I have read
So many a books about love
Yet I never really understood 
So strange!
Until now

I just realized that i do my hair
I even check myself in the mirror
I press my clothes and wear perfume
I couldn't believe myself
At least until today

Oh I've also noticed
That silly smile hanging on my lips
Every single moment i see you
That strange sweet wave of feelings
That sweep me off my wobbly feet

I feel sick enough to see a physician
Yet so strong to shoulder to universe
An entirely new world just opened
With colour all turned amazing

The apple of my eye
The dream of my dreams
And the reality of my life
My heart drums  to your touch
I feel like I'm biblical Samson
When you promise me forever

Death Spoke to Me

I have never been as scared
When people spoke of death
I did not quite understand

Metal feeding on metal
Flesh tearing
Scared screaming around
And hell breaking loose
You realize you are about to die
And there is nothing you can do

It was barely two seconds
But i swear it felt like eternity
As i rolled in the air
All came to perspective
All i did and all i did not do
The good and wrong
I cried and mourned my regrets

For a moment everything kept silent
Still and cold
That is when you hear him
The voice of death
Calling crystal as clear
I shut my eyes but i still could see
The inevitable coming for me

Tempted i wanted to give in
Yet in my weak fractured self
I remembered my maker
I asked for grace

Jirani Yangu Tajiri

Wacha nkawasimlie ngano
Walakini si ngano ni hadithi
Maanake mimi ni muhusika
Katika hii hadithi

Kunaye huyu bwana mmoja
Aliyenunua jipande la shamba langu
Basi bwana huyo ni bwenyenye
Magari barazani
Ua la mawe na nyaya za umeme juu
Jumba la kufahari
Na kisha bango
" MBWA KALI "
Langoni

si mimi si mke wangu si watoto wangu
Tunaweza ingia kwenye hili kasri
Ingawa alikojenga bwana huyu
Tulipaita kwetu wakati mmoja
Ila sasa sisi wageni tu

Haya yote si hoja
Ya mno ni haya
Watoto wangu hawatacheza
Maanake wanatifua vumbi ikatwaa madirishani pake
Makelele ya wanangu chukizo
Eti mama mkubwa abarizi barazani

Na ukidhani mwisho hii lele tu
Jana nimewapata wanangu wakila uani
Kuuliza mbona, maanake si kawaida
Kitoweo cha nyama walinyimwa
Bahati nzuri harufu uani yafika

Maskini mimi ni hoi
Miliki yangu ni baiskeli kuu kuu
Ambayo nikaridhi kwa babu
Zaidi sina
Nifanyeje maanake masaibu sasa wimbo
Tangia nimpate jirani tajiri
Walau ningekuwa nimepangisha
Basi ningehama, lakini huku kwangu!

It is Her Birthday

If I were talking of first impression
Then I would probably say that
She was partly shy partly a loner
Not the one to stick around long enough
To make a conversation

I knew there was more to her
Than she was letting go
I guess what I am  saying is
She was different
Not different bad but different special
I knew it the very first time I met her

When she smiled
Which was of course rare
Mmmmnh I swear she froze time
She gave such a comforting aura
Made me feel all was gonna be okay

Then i always wanted her laugh
When she finally did
It was such a sweet melody ring
Inside my head even hours later
I always expected it to be sweet
Yet when it finally did came
It still caught me by surprise

Finally she became my friend
Life has never been that better
It's like you're lost and suddenly
Your father's calm voice calls
Don't worry kiddo I'm here now
That is how it felt

She is such a person
Who will not wait and watch
But rather be part of the solution
She is my source of inspiration
A role model

And today!
Today is her birthday
But sadly I have no gift befitting
Hopefully this piece from my heart
Can make her smile and all is enough
And I pray that God shall grant her true happiness

Ulopa's grandfather

Did you know that music producer Paul Kibukosya also known as Ulopa's grandfather was among the six composers of the Kenyan national anthem 

Come By Papa

Dad why is it so hard to love you...
Because of you I am today
You're so cold in your loving
And it's drifting us apart papa

How i wish for your waiting open arms
To embrace me and promise me love
Sit up with me late with me telling stories
I love you daddy please come by
Love us like before

Papa tell me the crazy things you did
The things you did as a young boy
And make me roll with laughter
I will laugh till you laugh along

Mama my siblings and I  will wait
Till you come home before we eat
I will help fix your table
Kiss you goodnight before I retire
Looking forward to another beautiful day

I want you to be always there for us
Both physically and emotionally
Solid and firm papa
A symbol of hope and protection
We miss you papa
Make us smile again

We should be more of a family
Than live like neighbours
Only say pleasantries when we see
Let's sit eat and joke papa
Family do just that

I know it's hard papa
But i promise you we will be here for you

The Apple, My Apple

I am not a stalker
But i follow you a lot
Even in my dreams
Am always close
But not close enough to let you know
What is weighing down my heart

You are so beautiful I confess
My heart couldn't trust my sight
The first time I saw you
You were just not real
Like a reverie

If i had a proper way to express
Then i will tell you this...
You are an angel before me
Only you lack your heavenly wings

I think i lov... What am i saying
I know for sure that i love you
Am praying for courage and strength
To one day tell you this

Once I believed I was strong
Invulnerable to emotional breakdown
But when you look at me for a sec
You drain me and i lose it all

When you smile even not to me
I get a series of expensive emotions
That escape my heart and I jolt
Leaving my mouth dry and agape

If you ever love me
Baby i will take you to mars
