If i allow in another drop....

It is my fault I caused it all

Doctors after the operation said I will die at the floor

If I allow in another drop of liquor

But can I pass it by

When out of the ward at last with the night

And on my tongue a welcome guest so nigh

Food is not appealing without you

Of course ‘’all die be die’’

Why fear death when it comes when it wants to come

Where are your footprints in the sands of time?

Life is real, our reward, our most priceless gem

Why die before your time?

Here I am with a friendly assassin

A raised bottle, having its bottom facing the sky

And with an opened mouth ready to receive its downpour

Another rush to emergency

Doctors were on strike

The end, your guess as good as mine

Seek help, hold on. It will be well.

I didn't remember

It is a new day!

Tell me what day today is, son?

Monday, not a day for church

Just another day of rest

Alright, water please, quickly.

Here you are

Thank you

Tell me what day today is, son?

Not a day for church

Monday, a day of rest.

I need water to drink

It’s by your side

Aay yes, I almost forgot.

Son, what day is today?

You’ve asked me this already

And I told you what it was.

I am sorry, I am sorry

I didn’t remember.

To you who finds yourself

To you who finds yourself...

In the middle of nowhere

life brought us together

very close to one's wishes list.

Like an alien among potential friends,

an existence wrapped with feigned affection and adulterated smiles

my drinking cup filled

but a while for the sap.

In the middle of nowhere

have I found not only these

but more to life also

and true friends in the silence

that will speed me my journey through

The silence was broken

my space was encroached

only to learn something new

oh two hands that worked for a common cause

shared values and broke the spells of doubt and fogginess.

Once we will say good bye not to cry

not to give up but still to move on

even in more difficult fights.

Just a call away I will be there

My friend and colleague

who will soon be at the other side of my rainbow

So long, still cheers…

Kofi Annan

A soul within

Now without

In his own frame

The morn in mourning

The eyes shed tears

Ears his voices bow

Where will he go

Where do we go

When before we go

Where the darkness hide

Wearing the smiles of the night

Waving its shadows in the light

Cheers he is free

No more struggles

Oh worm and dust

Rest after labor 

Awaiting a crown

Oh worm and dust

Sights and sounds

Peace behind footprints

Still linger on

Dedicated to Kofi Annan

Hearing his death 18/8/2018

On on we go

Divisions, barriers
instructions, discriminations
i have found
very amazing.
Never to sigh
or give a cry
Brush it off!
...on on we go

Let them in
sit here
not here
is still there
you are there.
Keep calm!
Brush it off!
...on on we go

Smile
never get angry
keep your smile
but not within
Within is you
angry at you?
I don't think so
Brush it off!
...on on we go

Without choices

Smiles like tears
cling the lashes of the eyes
in between dreaming and waking up
the dusk and morn
where i stand with you
a decision to make
but without choices.

heads hang low

voices out lisp

out of my sight

short of words
