Every Man, Every Heart

Dear millennials of the world,

I see you, 20-something and bright-eyed, weight of the world pressing hard on your dreams; how they ricochet like balls of light slipping through your fingers. Like holes in the night sky that shine, never quite yours to hold. I know how it hurts. The knocking, the door watching, the dream catching.

You were always on hold Waiting for a love that cannot be Thirsty with the promise of water On a land that had forgotten the touch of rain When the dry spell dragged on And all hope was lost I came to you on the wind carrying the smell of rain Seeping into the depth of you Filling, loving, forever May you never thirst again my love

FLEETING LOVE

Like a moth You flutter wildly to shiny things leaving a trail of withered dust on all you touch Your untethered soul knows no home Only light Remember, you’re human…

He is the Kenyan answer to James Bond Leading, yet ready to be led Lowly, but lifted He loves the one who created him A little more than the world he is sent to change And my God do i love him

CURTAIN LOVE

No heavier words Have passed through my lips Than “show me your soul” To men that loved me behind curtains Words that my family would never dare to say to me They say i’m lonely And like the depths of the men I longed to peer into I find ease loving them Behind the comfort of drapery
