Dreamer

Amidst tossing waves of the tide,
All alone by the ocean side
Silent and desperate, sat a man,
With hollow eyes and empty hand.
His body scarred by marks of crime,
And his mind, lost in tranquility of time.
He thought of his loved-ones,
In bitter tears he moaned at his wounds.
As the wind blows harder,
His torned-heart beat faster.
When darkness dawned to daylight,
No longer could he sit tight;
For in him left, no courage to face
Another day with same tract and trace.
Destined by fate to kill
And forced by poverty to steal;
'Life is unfair' he thought aloud,
His soul, now, flying high tempting the clouds.
Should he die, who else would bother?
Who cares when he faltered?
After all, he's just a dreamer
And too, a murderer.

The Last Laughter

In the middle of this bloody battle I fought,
Loser I am, I always thought;
Clouds of failure weaken my knee,
I'm drenched and lost in this foresaken sea.

Skill and strength I have none,
Saw nothing but a setting sun.
With much pain I've tried,
With no tears I cried.

As the night grew darker,
I stumbled and faltered
Uncertain of what lies ahead;
Again I cried with thoughts upon my head
And wonder,
The time I laughed the last laughter.

In The City

They came from near,
They came from far;
To stretch their wings, to get their dues,
Being promised a treasure by news.

They have settled,
They are tangled;
They loitered in worldly pleasures,
Forgetting the untold treasures.

Out the corner,
Came a spider;
With fiery eyes and hungry pouch,
They succumbed to his clever touch.

Too deep they sank,
And all went blank;
They've realized, but it's too late,
Colourful dreams shattered by fate.

COLLINS CHINZAH ( Acrostic Verse )

Cheerful as a bird of morning sublime,
Offering a helping hand in a mime,
Loitering in the wilderness with a rhyme,
Lingering like a fairy in the sands of time;
Innings of toils and snares he endured,
Never failing and ending for sure,
Soaring high giving love's brochure.

Changing for the better, he opined
'Hollow years will turn into sunshine',
Itches and aches of sorrow left behind;
Nothing, of course, will lasts foerver,
Zest of pleasure will lasts no longer,
And in the end, all can't be winners;
He who have ears, let him hear it sober.

Roses and You

The roses they come alive in full bloom,
Brightening the air amidst pouring rain;
Casting away the pain, sorrow and gloom,
Life becomes full and complete once again. 
 

In beauty they paint the colorless air,  
Like rainbows, they blossom in full color.
‘Roses do have thorns’ but i do not care;
I’m like a bee, lured by lovely odor. 
 

These roses and you are all that i want,
To be near me in spring, summer and fall.
Out in the garden i went to pluck one,
In blissful ecstasy, i took them all! 
 

They are for you my sweet dove, for i know 
You love roses – red, violet and yellow.

To Daddy

When we hear melancholic rhymes of chirping birds;
Your memories lingers on in our hearts,
On that fateful day of May Ninety Nine,
We said goodbye and the stars stopped to shine.

Should i have known it much better that life's so brittle,
l should've loved you more and sat there to settle;
I should have been there when you called,
To embrace your warmth before that bell's toll.

It's true you are now safe in the hands of the angels,
Away and untroubled by earthly riddles;
And life goes on with tons of challeges to pursue,
But sometimes, its hard to move on without you.

HAKUNA-MATATA

When the world turns rude and unfair,
And when nobody else seems to care;
When darkness falls and you can’t see
The path, you are down on your knees,
Don’t lose hope; you shall stand yet again,
For there should be sunshine after rain.

When shadows chases behind and you’re scared,
When you face perils you do not dare;
When life confronts you with unsolved mysteries,
And when you are eaten to the bone by blasphemies,
Don’t lose heart; you shall go on yet again,
For there should be laughter after pain.

When the road seems thorny and narrow,
And when death shivers you to the marrow;
When your heavy load over-burdens you,
And when others betrays and bid adieu
Don’t lose confidence; soon you shall conquer
For there should be peace after war.

Life brings in miseries and good fortune,
Hard times won’t last when you’re in tune
With courage, hope and positive thinking;
Look beyond the clouds, there’s a silver- lining,
No worries, my friend: "Hakuna Matata",
Bad dreams are over: "Mangchhia a kin ta".
