MY TESTIMONY

He who is who he is
He reigns from the times of Abraham Issac Jacob till now
Who has powers of nature
By his word he made the tangible happen
He calmed the storms and made a way on the sea floor
He makes feathers of clouds
And trembles the sky so loud
He gives commands and rides on the winds
And from above he monitors to the little like ants..

He has done me well
He breathes life to me every morning I was never sure of..
And shadows my path with his hands
He grill me from trouble with his fingers
And shelters me from evil with his arms..
He calls me the promised
And crowned me his son
He named me forgiven
And marked me free by the drops on the cross..

He rescues the troubled
And comforts the tired
He gives peace beyond human understanding
And accepts the rejected
He is husband to the widows
And a father to the fatherless
To the closed doors he opens them the windows
And through his strength we fearless
“Fear no evil in the shadow death
“Be afraid not in the valley of darkness he is light
He is God

Not in a while I’ve done right
But he who is in me cleances I’m bright
He makes me a way where curved mends them straight
And clothes me his strength that every temptation I should fight
He gives me sound mind and enables my conscience sight
He plants in me a desire for his will thats now ripe
And a healer of back slides through the stripes
He’s Jesus
So I’m breaking down on my knees
And shout to the heaven the offerings from my lips
I’ll cry with joy that what I can’t express
I’ll tell of your greatness
Faithfulness
Mercyfulnes
Forgivingness
Magnificentness
The excess love..
The omniscient
The omnipotent
The silent but loud
The ubiquitous
The chains breaker
The immortal
The descending fire
The showerer of blessings
The sovereign
The baker of life
My potter
The riser of the sun
The prince of peace
The non favouring
My sanity restorer
The sinless
The horn of my salvation
You who is name is known through all generations
Is God.

CRY OUT

Our hearts are tired of death’s torture
We keep staring waiting for the worst future
Lord our tomorrow is in your hands..
Yes,
But how when our present is ravishing?
You said you are here
And you never leave
But how comes the devil keeps toss and turning with our lives?
You promised us power over the Lucifer
But seems he’s in charge making us suffer
You promised it shall not end in death
But for the glory God
I still believe..
I’m gathering the lost faith not to vain
To make mine a little stronger despite the pain

Not a single night I close my door to sleep peacefully..
In darkness and silence is so loud.
A woman’s grief of a lost stomach
Bewails of a widow of a gone husband
Children bemoan on the parents corpses
My country laments and blames
The sounds of clashes
The bangs and crushes
The snare of suicides
Thee shall not murder..
But your people are playing the role of sin in them..

Before we sink the just happened in our hearts
Another life slips out of live
Succeeding like seconds of a time
The situation in life
Is looking completely out of our minds
We waiting it’s huge grasps
To maybe snatch ours and leave gaps..

But before that knock
Give us a second chance..
Like Nebuchadnezzar restore our sanity
And plant a desire for your will
Hide us from our pasts by the stripes and the cross
Show us a little mercy
And take away your anger. .
Yes
It’s never permanent..
Save us from the wrath
It is by your grace we live

ILLICIT BREW

Haha it’s funny right?
It tickles our ribs to see them lost into drainages..
We take pictures and caption the images…
Feel proud you won likes and comments..
Hit your chest captioned funny so funny moments..
I’m not happy..

I feel pain, I feel dissapointed I’m not able to..
I’m not able to save either one or two..
The evenings comes I enjoy the drama..
And back to my cube my conscience not sober
I’m sick..
My brother is driving to his grave..
My friend is enjoying the digging..
My child is sings a dirge.. .
My husband is going for the casket..
Left widow childless broke
The so called illicit brew is dragging them..
I’m not happy..

We loosing the generation..
We don’t have future if we don’t have youths now.. The drive by idleness joblessness immorality holds them captives of illicit brew.
A minute of satisfaction and a lifetime of poverty, blindness, broke limbs, the virus…
The one sip is powerful to destroy marriages..
Women complain in their bedrooms
No babies we loosing our line..
The illicit brew pombe sumu is killing all..

So I choose to fight for Eldama Ravine, Kenya, The world
I stand to fight for my grandys, parents siblings, partner, a friend name it..
With this illicit brew
You won’t make it through

IM PREGNANT MOTHER

I’m expecting a son mama
Don’t be upset mama
I’ve clothed you shame mama
The son is Arap kirui’s son mama
I’m expecting

It’s hard for you mama
I know
Papa is going to blame you mama
Chase us three mama
The society is going to mock us mama
But I don’t care mama
The son is Arap kirui’s son
I’m expecting

I’m gonna treasure the pregnancy mama
It’s the fruit of our love mama
I promised to make him a father mama
He was happy with the news mama
The son is Arap kirui’s son

You remember the day I was late from the village’s year celebration??
The day I wore my tight right costume?
The day I wore my best perfume??
The day I danced my best??
Yes
I visited my champ mama
At his house mama
Our blood cooked hot mama
And he planted his seeds mama
I swore to him I’ll keep it mama
The son is Arap Kirui’s son
I’m expecting

So we plan for a show up mama
I’m ripe I’m full I’m grown mama
Lemmy go start a home and be a mama mama
I’ll be a woman, a right woman just like you mama
The son is Arap kirui’s son

Let’s call a Koito soon mama
My belly is growing faster mama
My chest is bursting mama
The best kitenge is becoming small mama
Lets hurry before the pregnancy shows out mama
The pregnancy is his

I feel like crying…

I FEEL LIKE CRYING

I feel like crying..
I feel like crying maybe it will make me sleep..
For the night is boring your absence is so present..
You keep fresh memories but in blinks
You made me addicted to smooth chests
Around me circled by your arms
My pillow sucks I’m rending
It makes me angry that you miss me as I do..
I feel like crying..

I feel like crying
I feel like crying maybe it will keep me busy..
This cold darkness is loosing my hope..
It’s reminding me how hot when with you..
Yes I need that late night chat cuddled around you..
I miss you baby..
I feel like crying

I feel like crying..
I feel like crying maybe it will calm my hunger for you..
I need you believe me and right now
I can only fantersize the monster in you ..
It makes me tired of wishing you were here for the blue..
The sweet whispers..
The tickles on my neck..
The Moans with passion..
The feeling of satisfaction
I’d cherish, I’ll keep it a secret..
I feel like crying

I feel like crying
I feel like crying maybe the night will sympathise
with me
What a sleepless occasion!
With the cloudness of the sky
And coldness makes a hideous sight
It’s hard to stay awake so idle..
Still mind,dumb,numb,no cuddle..
A sick night
I feel like crying

I feel like crying
I feel like crying maybe it’ll move the frozen time
Your absence just like the star’s make the world dull
Your company makes my world full..
I need no more
I feel like crying

Good bye my love

…GOODBYE MY LOVE

I seated back as she slayed swang her gorgeous hips
I felt like running after her grab strip them naked
I was getting too much of her and not getting enough
The echoes of her moans couldn’t stop flashing in every time I saw any woman before me..
Not that I’m so much into that
But it’s again on other thing that takes us to a world known to Us two
Second after sitting outside an hour just watching to the moon..

She was disappearing into the streets
But I could hear her stilettos …and how they matched with her feet’s
A sudden cold took over my heart..
I hated the road and distance so much
I cursed the reason she left
Though it was compulsory that she goes back to her studies
I was a man I hold my tears not to come but
But was left waving bye to no one
Bye my love

My house feels so void
Only illusions of you keeps me company
I’m avoiding my room, to confront the loneliness of my bed
So I’ll be sleeping on the coach waiting for you
I don’t know if I’ll go cooking
The plates and spoons are so boring
But
But I’m left with no choice
But bye

The roses I bought you are so beautiful
How comes I never realized? Maybe I was too busy reading your body
I don’t know how to water them and keep them live
The sketches of you in my room keep my soul hoping
It’s like a movie I’m not sure of.. I was fond of you

Your kisses keeps me biting my lips
The imagination on my head don’t just fit with the reality on my side
I feel so much in love
I keep falling in love with my bathroom
Maybe because of your bathing detergents that keeps your smell so fresh in my nostril
Hope you coming soon

Beb I found your nose stud we lost last night
Think I was so rough during the blue game
The next I’ll eat you whole
Hey just come back soon I miss you
But
But just bye for now..

In a minute…

In a minute
And love filled my world like air fills the atmosphere
Romance dragged away my past like there is no choice
I was feeling from my brains to my heart to my downs
My heart was melting while my knees freezing cold
I couldn’t make a move my life found a love spot
I was enjoying my space

In a minute
And something was whispering he was the one
My mind went blank I was filling in new memories
My heart s opening a new page defining what love was
Like I’ve never been in love this feeling was strange
Love is when I saw you and I felt so comfortable
Love is when your happiness is essential to my happiness
Love is when your show up kidnaps my mind
Love is when I flow down with tears thinking how good you are to me
Love,
Love is when I go blind to feeling you

In a minute
And I was growing addicted with your presense
My broken heart’s pieces turned to glowing stars
My red chubby cheeks broaden with smiles
Your smile robbing my courage I was blushing, bursting my space with love
I was a twig you came so strong like a wind you carried me away

I’m a minute
I felt beautiful
I felt protected
I felt belonging
I felt I was part of someone
I felt girlish
I felt a woman

In a minute
He was my North Pole I was south
He was my male version
He was my he word
He was my day I was the sunshine
He was my bear I was the teddy

In a minute
I was lazying my eyes for his lips
His fingers playing some nothings with my hairs I felt a lullaby
The long distance between us bowed
My hands was circling his neck
His palms curving my waist
In a minute

Explaining my depression to my EX

Every evening my head sets nearly breaking down from my neck
I remember every piece of peace we experienced sitting at the cliff watching the sun set
I remember every stones we threw down the cliff ..i can count them
We could watch together the debris disappearing into the abyss
I remember I told you how my love for you is like the stones we threw
That it grows deeper my heart each year month week day hour minute second name it

Your existence in my life is taking over my mind
I can’t stop having a series of serious flashbacks
Sometimes I forget myself to smiling silly in the air
I remember every kisses you stole
I remember every hugs from my back
I remember every talks walks laughs dances plays days we spent together
I see you smiling right to my face forcing me to smile shyly
I remember you more than the previous second

I have all the quarreles and fights stuck right here in my mind
I miss them
I miss when you will quarrel me to be a woman you want
I miss how you fought for my attention
I miss how you complained I slept early
I miss how you could get mad I delayed your text
Baby I miss having someone fighting for me
I miss someone craving my presence
I miss

I don’t have who to tell my fears fearing they will find them weird
I don’t have who to wake up late night to share my nightmare
I don’t have company during my sleepless nights

You left with my peace
You made me realize you were my right
You left exposing me to every kind of storms
My eyes raining tears washing down my happiness
I’m left helpless like a branch tattered by hailstorms
