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
