Love can withstand all troubles,

she made me believe this was real,

now they remain shattered dreams,

echoing through the corridors of my soul,

Each word, hitting like a thunderstorm,

piercing the tender fabric of hope for the reality of love.

In the dim-lit lies the memories,the time when we could go out holding our hands,

the dance we played together in the bed room,The warm kisses she gave me ,

I recite verses of pain in my mind, remembering the sweet moments we spend together,

if my bed could speak it out, it can resite my spoken word hidden in my tears,

Soliguey of love’s demise.

The stage is set with broken promises,

true love remaining a dream never to come true,

and the spotlight reveals my fractured heart, shattered to uncorrectable pieces,

I dance on the edge of despair, my rhythm fading away as I remember the love we had together,

slowly by slowly they turn to murmers as hot tears roll down my cheeks,

my heart being filled with grief.

I thought Eva was wrong when she once whispered,

“When you broke my heart, it felt like the universe collapsed,

and I was left floating in the void.” but now it the reality.....

yeah she had said it the right way,

i still feel my self in a void not knowing the way out,

as I croll around like a child with no one to cry to.

And so, I stand here crying and weeping, warm tears running down my cheaks,

vulnerably giving out the deepest stories of my shattered heart, my voice trembling,

seeking relief,pouring my anguish into syllables, hoping they’ll stitch my wounds,

and give my heart a chance to love once more,

a chance to prove that there is true love out there,

and to have what the world has in store for me.

Heartbreak remains a poem of the brokenhearted,

a language only the wounded understand,

But perhaps, in this vulnerability, lies the seed of healing,

the germination of hope in loving again.

I walked alone in this path,

Had no one to call my own

Life was tough and smile was rare than tears

I was tired and scared,

I didn't trust anyone in my life

For i couldn't trust my own conscious

I distanced myself

I walked out on those who tried to keep me close,

Ruined so many relationships.

I was the most broken person

I broke and hurt everyone whose intentions were pure

I felt they were onother damage and i didn't want to involve them in my life

I hated anyone who spoke about love

I had hatred passion for anyone who showed me love

I did not want to involve anyone in my heart,i was cold

Freezing and extremely hurt yet i couldn't admit

But when i met you changed everything

My mindset,my heart,you melted my cold

You made me believe that true love still exists

You gave me time to realise whom i was

Many are the mistakes i did that hurted you

But still gave me space to correct them

You Stiched the wounds in my heart

Showed me true love exits

Life is made of moments

And the moments that make my life are yours

The support you give me when i fall ....the

Shield you give me when those who dumped me attack

The faith you have in me,

when i give you promises that are hard for me to keep

The songs we dance together under the moons light

The hope you gave me that true love still exists

At the end of the tunnel they say there is light

And in you i see the light at the end of my tunnel

The future of a family with you

And so my heart is yours and yours to keep

Keep it safe for me

All that i ever give to you ,note my love affection and energy will always be yours

Swear to love you with my hands wide open

My heart and love i give it all to you

Keep it safe for me....

It will always be yours .

In the shadows of our love,

A secret grew, A tale of wealth,

where loyalty withdrew.

She found solace in the glittering gold,

Leaving behind the warmth we used to hold

The moment we spent together.

Her pockets deep,

her promises grand,

She traded our dreams for a richer land.

The sparkle of diamonds,

the lure of the new,

Blinded her eyes to the love that was true

I watched in silence,

heart heavy with pain,

As she walked away,

leaving love in disdain.

For money can buy many things,

It’s true,

But it can’t mend a heart that’s broken in two.

So here I stand,

with lessons learned,

Love can’t be bought,

it’s something earned.

And though she chose the wealth over me,

I find my strength in what love should be

The hope to find true love although rare.

Born a manager, I became a servant

Born a supervisor, only to be called a slave

Life is a pool board, a game.......

Either you are being played or you are the player

Innocent he is born, but a thief incarnated in him

"My son you mean the world to me...."mama said

Only to become the world of tears to MoMA

A dream she dreamed of ....

Became the game, life played on her.

The innocent child,a future doctor to become,

"My son you are the investment I have done in my life...."

"Yes papa I won't fail you am the doctor

To treat you in your older days...."

"Amen my son....."

Only to die unemployed in his rate twenties.....

Demonstrating, demanding for his rights, rare to be gotten,

A dream dreamt, only to be grounded never achieved

A game life played on the poor soul.......

From a family of five, she comes for further studies

Young cute and innocent,she joined the campus life

A year later, the the family members becomes six

The poor girl becomes a mother

Came for studies, but she became the syllabus to be studied

The poor girl got played by life

To win a game get the tactics

It isn't a must for life to play you, you can play it

You can become the winner in this game

Know the tactics,know who you are

Know your background,know your future

Realize the opportunities and use them to your advantage

Play the game my child

You are a winner you can do it....

Happy birthday.

In the heart of neon nights, where shadows dance,

The lungs breathes their secrets, whispers of romance.

Concrete veins pulse with electric dreams,

As souls collide in kaleidoscope streams.

In alleyways,it bloomed like wildflowers,

As we shared tales of love, loss, and stolen hours,

In the night dinner hours, with you my Darling,

Broken glass reflecting the moon's tender gaze,

As lovers trace constellations in the haze.

Oh, this love hums with forgotten melodies,

The hard times we went through with you emma,

The differences that caused us to cross parths,

But our love worn it all, yeah me and you emma,

In the quiet of dawn, when the sun tiptoes across the sky,

I gather stardust in my palms, weaving wishes for you,

Your laughter, a melody that dances through my veins,

And your eyes, twin galaxies where my heart remains.

On this day, when the universe celebrates you,

your 19th trip around the sun,I pen verses of love,

whispered secrets of our worth.

Your smile, a sunrise painting hues upon my soul,

And your touch, a gentle breeze that makes me whole.

Let the winds carry my words to where you reside,

A symphony of affection, a love that won't subside.

May your days be adorned with petals of joy,

And your nights cradle dreams that never decoy.

Happy birthday, my love, wrapped in constellations,

You are the poetry I breathe, the sweetest revelations.

May time etch our story in celestial ink,

As we waltz through life, hand in hand, on love's brink,

My our love prosper for eternity my love emmaculate,

Happy birthday.

I live in Kenya at a place called chuka.

Magumoni-chuka.

I am a second year student at kisii university taking bachelor of arts in geography.

The biggest lesson i have learned this year is probably not to give so much of your self to people who will not do the same for you.

Sometimes you sacrifice alot for people who will never sacrifice for you ......

I mean sacrifice anything.

Sometimes you are always there thinking they will always be there until something comes up.

That is life.....

It has tought me forgiveness is infinitely available for the wronged person bcoz it sets you free.

It releases you from the quick sad situation that holds you back.

But it doesn't mean that you need to place yourself in front of that bus to be moved on again.

Yes it feels right to give a second chance but in some situations just forgive the person and let him go....

Understand the value in the lesson and the lesson they brought and move on without them in your life.

Don't put yourself in a position were you are repeatedly being damaged.

Never forget that your are worth being treated nice, you are worth being appreciated and you are worth being someone's everything.

That life......

In life we mingle alot with new guys forming new bonds and having crushes on those we mingle with.

But sometimes it better if we let that crush remain a crush,that caring friend remain a friend,that nice colleague remain a colleague .....

Than taking it to a step higher and hurt each other in the process.

How many of your destiny helpers will you have feelings for before you realise God has not placed everyone in your life for you to date?Sometimes it wise to put your feelings to yourself and just enjoy the beautiful friendship.

This will be important for you to avoid hurting each other more.Probably you were maybe meant to be just friends not lovers.

Trust me with time feelings will always pass but friendship willnever pass...

That is life.....

In life sometimes it gets too tough all your dreams crushing,what you have been building for so long crumbling and watch it fall for you can do nothing about it.

Sometimes the pain is too much and all you can do is break on to tears.

This was me ,i thought my world was crushing,i thought my poetry life was over,the day i got terminated from poetry shows....

I thought i could never ever make it,but now I believe that i will see onother day to say that i made it.

A day to say i knew i would get rockey,thorny and teary....

But i told myself never to be defined by whatever i go through for i knew the sorrows would last for the night but day light would eventually come in the morning......

In life people will blame you for involving them in your plan to achievement and success.

They will call you names and go ahead to cutting you off,

but what they forget is that you told them every important thing but they never took it seriously.

You kept updating them about everything but all they could see is your mistakes and your faults.

You tried to make any other conversation but it was never possible making you think you were wrong for informing them.

In this life there will be someone who will always what to blame you for their downfall,pain,rejection and struggle.......

But the most amazing thing is that most of the people know who you truly are humble,patient,kind,loving and generally a good person.

One stain should never make you throw away a white cloth....
