Forget me not
As you pack your bags,
Ready to embark on a long journey,
Away from me,Forget me not.
With long distance between us,
Temptations might come on your way,
And you might think of letting go our love,
But remember it is sacred and worth not letting go.
Forget me not
For I love you so much
With all my l mind and soul
As I have never done before
Sweet words and charms
Might blind you,
But remember my love is real
And is worth not deceiving
Forget me not
For I care for youAnd my arms will be wide open,
To hug you tight when you come back

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
Your tears may flow
But I’ll not know Cry for me now
When I’m gone
My friends will say words of praise
But I’ll not hear
Let them praise me now
When I’m gone
You will send flowers
But I’ll not see
Send them now
When I’m gone
My classmates will visit my home
But I’ll not be there to receive them
Let them visit me now
When I’m gone
Many will claim to have love meBut I’ll not be there to love them back
Let them love me now
When I’m gone
Mourn me not
For I will be resting in eternity

My heart belongs to you
My love is yours
My eyes see you
My smile is a special dedication to you from God
You are the love of my life
You hold the keys to my heart
You give me strength to go on with life
You posses my indivisible love
Your beauty drives me crazy
Your beautiful voice sounds melodious to my ears
Your cuteness knocks me down
Your breath sweeps me off my sadness
When I look at you my mind takes a vacation
When you smile my body temperature rises
When you talk my mind goes on a trip
When you come closer my blood pump faster
This was my first poem; I had actually written it for the girl next door, whom I had a crash on

Friends forever
Friends forever!
These are the only words that I can say
In memory of our long gone friendship
You promised to stand with me
Through thick and thin
Only to realize you were an opportunist
Friends forever
These are the words that you used to tell me
When I was still rich and loaded
Now that I am poor and worthless
You want nothing to do with me
And our lifetime friendship is long dead and gone

Painful departure
As the message went down our hearts
We were all overcome by grief and sorrow
‘In sweet memory of Careen’
Our hearts grieves
Mingling in a tornado of thoughts
Endless questions, incessant murmurs
Of what? How? And why?
Streamed through our minds
Careen was her name
A Lady we pinned forWith much love and admiration
Buried in her gorgeous gallery
Of love, respect and honor
She will forever be in our hearts
With nostalgia
I can’t withstand the tragedy
Suspense of how her death bowed down
After the curtains of life flapped asideAnd dim lights of death tossing
As Careen lays calmly
Her heart struggles to dance the lyrics of hope, love and unity
Shortly then, thunder of her death struck
Her departure has crushed it
Our jot with her, our love for her
And shatter to the scared
Of draining our face with casket of tears
As her soul rests in eternal peace
She will forever be united in our minds and soul
Special Dedication to the Memory of Careen Jepchumba Kili, may the Almighty Lord rest
her soul in eternal peace

Guilty
I was caught unaware
Admiring your beauty and personality
I did not know it was ‘wrong’ and ‘punishable’
Your beauty blindfolded me
Your charms handcuffed me
As if that was not enough
Your sweet smile detonated the love bomb set in my heart
Leaving me at the mercy of your love
I was arrested and held in solitary
Waiting to be arraigned before the court of loveTo face the eminent panel of romance
Blindly I was led
To the court of love
To respond to the charges laid against my heart
I tried not to plead guilty, but in vain
It bore no fruits
The romance in the air could not give me a chance to defend my own innocence
I could not do anything for me but to plead guilty to your love
With my guilty plea I was sentenced
To imprisonment for life in your heart
That is full of love and affection
I tried to escape but could not
I was in a well secured cell
It was a well placed trap with a well planned strategy
Misjudged I thought I was, but I was wrong
I do not think much about being free
Because your love is the best I’ve ever had

It took great courage and strength
Before I finally coiled my tail and gave in to my opponent
Love is the warlord,
I never thought I would surrender to
But to my surprise it not only brought me down
It also has held me captive
It started as a simple friendship
But as time passed
I started growing fond of you and slowly by slowly
I started having feelings for you
It took me a while before I understood
That which I was feeling inside me
But now I know what it is
It is love and is not for any one else other than you
Te amo

Lost love
My life is a mystery
Protected by my story
But developed by the misery of the broken heart of mine
To her, sweet love I pledged
But broken my heart became
When it dawned that she loved me not
Emotions, feelings and love
I gave to her
With great devotion and dedication
Only to realize that it was a whim
Regrets I have not
Because I take responsibility for everything I do
But I feel Hatred in my heart
For the precious time she stole from me
I have no memories to cherish
Because she only used and dumped me
As if I was some kind of trash
Now I'm shattered and destroyed
Because of the lost love of mine
With my heart broken into pieces
I feel wasted and betrayed
Because I loved her with all my heart

For you loved us
On the cross you gave your life
Because of the love you had for us.
Abused, despised and abandonedYou never gave up your mission
But worked hard to secure our salvation
Our sins as red as blood
You had them all cleaned with your holy blood
For your love for us was great
With our Father you reconciled us
And made us significant again in His eye
With your own life on the cross
Because you loved us very much
Undeserving favor you gave us
So that we do not perish
But have eternal life with the Father in heaven
For your love was bigger than life
Now we are forgiven
And waiting to be with Father
For you sacrificed your life for us to live forever

Thank you Lord
Thank you
Because you gave us Jesus to come and die on the cross
And redeem us from sin
Thanks
Because you loved us
And gave us the savior who came to save us
From the shadow of death
Thank you
Because we can now sing with joy
And dance with excitement
Because we know you’ve forgiven us
Thank you
For forgiving us our sins
And assuring us eternal life

Lucky Am I
Lucky am I
Because you’ve given me your love
Lucky am I
Because you love me as I am
Lucky am I
Because you are not ashamed of me
Lucky am I
Because you have dedicated your life to me
Lucky am I
Because you have chosen me
And ignore the other men
Lucky am I
Because I’m the only man on earth
To be loved and appreciated by you my love

You probably have a great ambition in life
But you do nothing to achieve them
Because you lack motivation
You probably have a better knowledgeBut you do not use it positively
Because you lack wisdom from God
You probably have the best leadership qualities
But you still deceive people
Because you do not seek God's help
You're probably the best
But there is no reflection of that from you
Because you have rejected God and decided to do things your way
You could have had a very soft voice
But you lose
Because you did not use it for the glory and honor of God
If you seek God's face
Let him be the source of strength, wisdom and courage in your life
You realize your potential and use it to create a great impactNot only in your life, but also in that of others

Moments
Bonds seemed to last forever
We treated every day special
We shared and appreciated every momentShowing each other love
And none of us thought it would end
It was a love so sweet
That all people on campus were interested
We tried to avoid speculation
But the pressure became overwhelming that we eventually gave in
And decided to lose in the eyes of our detractors
It was so sudden rupture
My emotions were out of place
And my heart broke
For the sudden brutal end of our relationship
Our love, I will live to remember
And appreciate every moment we spent together
Even if it breaks me down
Because you were my love, my hope and future till the brutal dark day
