By Patrick Ngugi, Kabete, Kenya
I must speak my mind
’Ven if with closed eyes
To avoid her mesmerizing gaze
Which weaken my shaky knees
When she looks and smiles at me
Yes! Today I must declare
That I won’t hang on forever
‘Ven if my universe collapses
With the zeal of a buzzing bee
Flirting from flower to flower
Seeking the sweetest nectar
In the bright and starry universe
And I squat beneath and wait
Waiting like a well-fed fool
Fed with lots of sat on chapos
Chilling till the grass begin to grow
And cracks appear on the floor
My love for you makes me an Imbecile
My heart melts before your gaze
Your smile defuse my intelligence
My world wobbles around you
And I try hard not to sit and cry
Or bash my head against the wall
As you flirt in every nook and cranny
But listen … oh destroyer of hearts
Love and seasons wait for none
And Cupid‘ll surely plot with Time
Pierce my heart with another arrow
Grow me wings to fly away
Away to another love

Beautiful.
Your flower, true kiss
from another buzz seeks;
Cupid and Time both come,
compensate this
a joy, deep and fulfilling to bliss
By you. Don’t wait. Let her bee flirt on please.
wow… thank you Richard
