Park # 1

Sitting in the park.
Centre of attention to the cities eyes.
The tough bark of a tree.
A comfortable but rigid rest to support my back.
My momentarily warm feet from walking sneakers
now feel the chill of the breeze.

The solace star falls down raising temperatures . . .
Cold.
Nipples alert.
Blended Ice coffee finished.

The upright couple have grown exhausted 
of grooming each other orally.
Jaws lay relaxed.
Lay down.
Calm satisfaction.

Young pre-adolescence give their attention 
to freezing the moments of wildlife.
Movements and Postures .
Squirrel there's no need to be scared.
They don't want your nut.
As much of a prized possession it is.

In French one boy directs,
'allez le droit, tourner à gauche'
' Take the picture now'
Well thats I assume the rest meant.
I was never that good at French.

Another couple oddly walk past.
Same height.
Summer love.
They jostle past .
Shredding up grass.
Unknowingly.
They continue.
Side by side.
Hip to hip.
Right then left.
How long will it last?
Hmmmmmm.

Then my back stiffens.
I arch forward,
supporting myself
with chunky crossed legs.

Thoughts dry.
Goosebumps become raised.
Joggers jog.
Warm perspiration. 

And then a figure. 
Footsteps turn.
The friend is here.

LEARNING.

Im going to learn to drive,
steering well away
from negatives and worries
from down falls and anxiety. Inshallah.

Im going to learn
 to be the best me that i can be,
Insha-Allah.
and not let a simple act slip by,
simply because it can
without being undetected,
 unknown of and unheard of.
for it is not chinese whispers
i fear as i used
to once upon a time
but My Al-mighty, Al merciful Creator.

I'm going to learn
to Sail towards goodness
success and righteousness
Inshallah.
wholly knowing that i have set myself up
to be strong against
inner weakness
exterior superficial challenges
and the deadly whispers of every turn.

I'm going to learn to walk.
Straight .
In the right path that has been chosen for me .
Alhamdulilah.
Not the left
right
intentionally wobbly path
that we all do
walk on
because we all do
and that makes it fine and okay.
Who ever came up with that rationale.

I'm going to learn
to fly with an obedience
for Allah's will as my wings
The Quran and Hadith's
as my fuel
Good deeds, Xasanaad
as my passengers.

Im going to learn
to learn everyday
as our knowledge
and use of that knowledge
will suffice us for the here and the now,
and the universally undeniably
known Here-after .

Inshallah.

Tired

I am tired
Thats it
No emotions fueling insanity
No wants
No needs crippling
Nothing
I am just tired
Thats all.
Tired.

Revelations hopes and the seeds to them.

My mind wonders
and my heart pants heavily
as I struggle to live as two.
The one of simplicity and righteousness.
Clear and bright.

And the erratic luxury life
of instant gratification
glutenous laughter
Brassiness of money
success and power.

Moving on from what is routine and normal
is the biggest change of all.
Finding ones self in a world
where every thing goes
not seeking shelter from common
and presently barbaric forms of communal punishment.
Would we think twice about stealing if our right hand would be cut off.
Wouldn't we be petrified if we were out-casted just by not practicing
the basic's which are set in stone.

And the other life is much desired for.
As the mixed being of mind heart and soul;
wishes to be purified.
The dark scoldings over them
to be brightly varnished away
stroke by stroke
footstep to footstep
to bows
prostrating to kneeling
to prayer.

And praying and praying;
for that simple life of contentness
goodness
light of heart
purpose in life
avoidance of evils
actions of mercy
thoughts of clearness
worshiping of the one and only.
As-Samad.
At-Tawwaab.
Al-Azeem.

Yet when I think like this my mind pants and heaves no more
and my heart sets at rest
all becomes clear
and still.
Airy.

Living as was written as one and for only One.
All we can do is walk
Hope.
Pray-steadfast
Believe and we shall wonder no more.

Ameen.

Kenya GOOD Times...xxxxxxxxx ...love it




Commit a crime and I'll be your defender
Overpower me so I surrender
Oh I wish I could be your saliva
So that I could taste your lips...whenever
I envy...your hipster
Vile inakushika kwa mapaa
Kwa kweli manzi umebarikiwa
Ndio maana tunaimba 'hallelujah'
I wish I could be your shoe
I would have such a beautiful view
And if I was the slit on your dress
My goal in life would be to aim for the highest
If only I could be your body lotion
I would walk with undivided devotion
Kila siku nakufikiria
Ndio maana nasinzia 

The Gentleman Came and Went.

So coy...so gentle.
Young strapping gentlemen have arisen
from your typical yobbish warya’s 
bopping on the highroad streets. 
Their clothes edgy and fresh
their swagger noted to the point. 
Charm smouldering around
inflicting our ladies to swoon and melt inside.


And no this isn't from the fake lies
cool swave compliments and empty promises.
No these ARE honest,
to the point
open to an extent
reasonable enough to think 
you have reasoned  your significance 
or as you told yourself part and parcel.
A position that you hold control
Of which you really don't
but are conditioned to thinking you made this fair and just aggreament....


but everything changed....
when one falls for thee gentleman....
of charm and stature 
of confidence and inspirations.




{Torn, be-soaked in tears and frustrated,
of what I told myself of this half acceptable.
Half wanting. 
And fully knowing that its a matter of time,
till I break and crumble illuminously inside.n9v}
