Happy Women's Day

MUCH MORE THAN I CAN

Thinking about you day and night,
Dreaming about you isn't a fight,
Dusk and dawn still you remain,
At twilight my heart says you're mine,
Tears in my eyes waiting for your coming,
Oh! I love you more than I can tell.

My heart brims over with joy,
Than stars filled in the sky,
All happens on seeing your text,
Though we haven't yet been next,
Beads of worries awaits you to appear,
That it may disappear,
Oh! I love you more than I can show.

My heart morns slower,
Wether you and I will be closer,
Broke but still standing,
Your love makes it does darling,
Little dew of miss swells my heart,
Your arrival will swell it not,
Oh! I love you than I can express.

Events cast shadows before them,
I knew my illness before dame,
I didn't want to tell you,
For the fear of stressing you,
But when my brain rung the bell,
I had to write you a poem that can tell,
This is because I love you,
More than I can prove.

Am down still ill,
But doesn't mean my Love's still,
My love for you grows daily,
I can't talk per now lovely,
Only for your shake I can text,
But today or tomorrow next,
I believe I'll be fine,
For I see my recovery is in line,
With my heart beat limping,
I must inform you darling,
Because you are the one I love,
Much More Than I Can!!.

BURRY ME HERE
Burry me here
In the land of the cranes
Where cranes dance and Stand on one leg
Where people believe in human race
With clarity and abundant sun shine
That feeds the hungry geckos
Where peace and love prevail
In the blood of one love.

Burry me here
In the wilderness
Where birds sing bright songs
Where elephants blow brilliant trumpets
Where footprints, marks and sounds
Of treading animals will make my day bright
Burry not my love with me
But burry it in your heart
Let my love die in your heart.

Burry me here
In this hunting ground
Where I was once a hunter
Put food not in my grave
My ancestors are ready to feed me
Decorate not my grave
It'll be done by the souls of my great ancestors.

BURRY ME HERE
Burry me here
In the jungle
Where tigers believe that the hunted
Will one day become the hunter
Where the lion believe that
Soon meat will turn into
poison
Where buffalos believe that shading tears
Will mitigate pain and sorrows
Where hippo believe that life in the dry land
Is quite beneficial than in the seas and oceans
Where rhino believe that putting off fire
Will bring peace to the nation.

Burry me here
Let me face down
I need not to face the skirts
Trousers and the hell that made me sin
Take my body low but
My names and messages high above heaven
Lay me down in this land
Where I was born
Burry me in the heart of the nation had loved this much.

Burry me here
In this field
Where birds will compose eulogy
Where snails will write the epitaph
Where rhinoceros will cry
For the gone soul of their beloved calf
For am the true son of the Rhinoceros Family
"An atin amuka"

THE SUN SHONE
The sun shone with bright light
The streaks struck the sea
My eyes landed on a dazzling pearl
Deep under the sea it was
What could this be?
I questioned myself
A smile from princess
I grew so high
Like a kite in the sky
My heart raced and made a cry
't wasn't a scream of joy
In reality I felt so shy
I couldn't see yo eyes literally
Its beauty could blind my eyes
I couldn't touch thy body
Thy hotness could set me ablaze
I couldn't stand before y'ee
Your handsome beauty made me weak
You're the princess
Whose smiles I saw.
The sun shone
And strengthened me
Now I can stand before y'ee
See yo eyes and even touch y'ee
't is a right time now
Come out of the sea
For am ready for y'ee
Come kill me with that smiles
Let your love shine in me
Like the sun that shone
I love you princess because
The Sun Shone.
