‘Twas time to die


Twas not time to die
When I thought I would
After falling in the snare of the sly
And my affection such robbed
When she played with my heart

Twas not time to die
When I sunk in despair
When my world had crumbled
And gone was the essence of life
Could I cry enough of a tear?
Could I brood enough in gloom?
When the most tender
The most delicate of my person
Has been put on play!!

My silence was so loud
My wail was so silent
I only, only I could understand
The wordless speech of my heart
And my ears could hear the message
And the wisdom of the innermost
That at the end of this all
Is where the beginning lay

Thus, I learnt to laugh in my tears
I learnt to live in my dying.
Is it not with death that we tell what life is
Is it not with weakness that we define strength?
Or with betrayal that we appreciate trust?
And with hate that love stands out
I learnt to wait, just a little longer
Then my love will bloom again
Twas time to learn life
Twas not time to die yet!

Ningekwambia!

Kama ingekuwa vile, swahiba ningeshasema Ningepiga na kelele, ufahamu himahima Kwamba sikuwazi miye, sikomi laili nzima Ningejasiri n’kwambie, lau sikupendi mbuya Kama sivyo ‘ngekwambiya, wazi wazi pasi siri Lau sijasuhubiya, nahari sikufikiri Kwamba sijakuwaziya, na gonezi kuabiri Ngaungama wangu mwari, kwamba siwe nimpendaye Kama kuli mwengineye, ninaye muenendea Mtimangu anitwaliye, ni radhi kumwenendea Hadhi yangu nimpaye, na siwe wangu maridia Ngakwambia siweye, hala ningekuhubiri Kama siwe ulinitwaa, kawa wa kunipa tuo Najenenda nili fwaa, nimetekwa na pumbao Azizi u’vyonivaa, yakaniisha matao Kweli ningeshakujuza, kwamba siwe nyonda

mtu hafi kupenda

Mja hafi kupenda Hapana mja duniani, apenda aondowe Si khiari asilani, rohoye aitowe Aingiye pa gizani, kusiko na mwendowe Maja hafi kupenda, n’ kudura itimiye Ni kudura ya Manani, alompa utuwe Hana na lake Fulani, sema akohowe Hanalo la lakini, zake ziandikiwe Mja hafi kupenda, n’kudura itimiye          Nyaka zikiwa shirini,ni jaala apawe Au aishi theneni, neema ajaliwe Mja hana kwa nini,ikiwa aitiwe Mja hafi kupenda,n’ kudura itimiye Lau ngapewa idhini, k’teuwa atakaye Ngebaki duniani, amwali ajiliye   Afurahi maishani, na wale wampendaye Mja hafi kupenda , n’kudura itimiye

penzi

penzi la kulazimisha,lina gharama, kando na kukalifisha, linakukama, na linakufilisisha, likakukwama, hadi likakubakisha, u litima aimi nakujulisha, uwe salama usipende kujishasha, na kwa lazima penda anorejesha, nayo kheshima huba ja hili hukosha, wako mtima ... mbwene hoa walopenda, kwa kusukuma, hatimaye zao zanda, wakaziuma, kumbe hao walopenda, wamewahama amwalio zimeenda, sa' wamezama
