Poetic Smiles by Ishmael Mwangangi (good books to read for 12 year olds .TXT) 📖

less richer than my vote

 

My honesty and their desire

 

Then we fool ourselves that we progressed…. No way!

 

 

 

I always wish to volunteer… but where do i start;

 

I see the world as a vast of Illusion

 

But for more than a shy poet Pardon

 

I'm I the last Solution?

 

It‟s all my World but all these every olds just happen to live in it too, Save your souls

 

A pen, Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence … or some ammunition

 

There aren‟t any reason

 

Did we just make a choice my people?

 

By choosing people with same heads we having

 

Oh, Its how they've always been'

 

 

 

 

I love them Politicians.

 

One Nation, under a government & a bullet scar

 

Worry not

 

Just be nappy, Don‟t even look happy. See…..

 

Waniona vizuriii? (do you really see me well?) Ukiniona (When you really see me),

 

Once you really feel my warmth

 

 

Just leave and walk that way…

 

Wait … did you just look into my eyes?

 

We all driven by desires; so Mom don‟t cry

 

Its greed that made me kill my brother

 

 

Never getting but wanting, never touching but wishing

 

But these prison walls still stand tall

 

God am now sure that thing‟s will never change

 

 

 

 

Turn around one more time; Momma

 

Yea perhaps its just Fantasy

 

But it‟s done every day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How Many Times…

 

Bright light from the sun light

 

Rises to both the dark and the shiny Another moment,

 

I guess it‟s another chance Not the first' the second or the last

 

 

Its like an adventure Though some of we lost We had hope' and we rose

 

 

 

Its time perhaps,

 

Events that some say divided us

 

I cannot tell

 

But we are made from the similar places

I did my best and that was great from you

 

They played their part too

 

But who am i to judge

 

I dried to my expectation so they failed

 

 

 

 

Can We Go Back

 

 

 

Can we go back?

 

 

Just hope to see you again.

 

 

I Know you still got that face of a heaven.

 

Haven‟t changed since the night in rooftop Put all things in a bright stars

 

Guide me as i guide you

 

Can‟t even say a single word.

 

Feels like I‟m stabbed with a sharp sword in my heart...

 

Come back to yesterday when we were strangers,

 

 

Days of us guess we're playing truth and Dare

 

See that night picture in hand

 

Can we go back to Magic house please?

 

Can‟t be your man sitting on a slub.

 

Think that I have to say that

 

“We‟re Good"

 

Again, it is good for friends

 

 

No matter what...We stand strong…

 

We are all homeless in one way so everyone does'

 

Many are the times we lost ourselves between our worlds

 

Why are some things so flamed with passion

 

Today I forgot my road and pattern

 

Is it the money that makes me the savage

 

Wandering aimlessly, in cash with something

 

Or definitely we've been led into the backwoods

 

by some beaming desire, just to be left out in the cold's

 

A cold memory, and the warmth of desire

 

What are we then to do?... prepare?

 

 

 

 

We have all made faults, And God, I've made mistakes

 

But my mistakes haven't made me

 

 

None of us would have thought

 

We'd be who we are now

 

A young African male

 

With a dream for a government job

 

 

I remember,

 

When we were still little Eyes wide to possibility

 

Who could have known

 

But my skin is always right.

 

My daddy said: No matter what We stand strong…..

 

 

This is how a story goes

 

 

 

Just like a sun rising from a dark sky‟s

 

To your brown beautiful face I imagine and I ask

 

Will you marry me'

 

Got you with my knees down

 

'Without a ring? ' You asked

 

Here it is....

 

...now with a ring, will you marry me?"

 

I can't guess what happened next but time makes decisions go, Forgive my imaginations

I just Left once again at home

 

Another day on your own

 

 

 

 

So I got back with a poem and you said

 

" I don’t even understand BUT i guess you talking about me"

 

 

 

Our tongues touch Kissing

 

' felling' fireworks Watching the sky‟s out the nights

 

Now am walking back to my home I say goodbye and leave now

 

With my heart

 

I sing all way...not even sure why

 

Guess I found is you

 

I still care you have feelings

 

And there you may still have someone else

 

 

It's alright,

 

I remember that everything

 

I knew you cautious just from start,

 

To go all the way…. So I will take you real slow

 

I can feel your heart with me

 

The more I see you,

 

The more that I feel inside

 

But its only once in a lifetime

 

 

Please hold my soul slowly You already got my body all weak Only strong in parts

 

However, the pleasure was mine

 

Mommy taught me properly

 

So if i flop it out ...my woman

 

Just know it has been carefully done.

 

 

 

 

A Spot where WE belong

 

That‟s just for Us

 

We all dressed up as one

 

You guide me and I guide you

 

I'll be right behind you, show me and I'll go

 

I show you, and we go

 

A place where I spend my quiet nights, So much pressure.....

 

I believe in what awaits this special world

 

I walk alone but....

Thorns in my feet as I see you near yet look so far

 

Every step hurts... but We keep Moving

 

Printed on my chest. "Can I stop oh I can't feel my feet"?

 

I see beyond truth but she won't let me stop for truth...

 

I‟m not to seek but for what's underneath ...what you breathe u shall complete.

 

I give u all of me where my concrete words grow upon a rose that smells so sweet.

 

 

And you will show me a spot where WE belong

 

 

 

 

 

My anger

 

 

My Care

Will Be In thy heart,

 

And

 

Not thy words…

 

My anger will be In words,

 

 

Not In thy heart

 

 

Psalms 2 , part II

 

 

 

Why do families and the members fully reciprocate

 

The heads maintaining up their positions

 

And children gather up against their father

 

Against who brought them to life

 

“ let us make him silent” they suggest “ put him down to ground.”

 

The one in the house new minds

 

And feels pity on their souls

 

 

 

 

Then regrets in his own heart and delights

 

“ I will take care of them As my children and siblings”

 

He swore at their young age “ ask of me”

 

And I shall provide you with everything The education you need

 

 

 

 

You will be a better being You will be relied upon like me

 

Therefore, you children and sons Be educated, you sons of mine

 

 

Serve the society and your country widely

 

And rejoice living happily Kiss your mom and dad And you will be blessed

 

 

For if were not for us

 

Blessed you would never be

 

 

 

 

Feel me

 

They said I have to praise Say words to emotion my heart

 

But I made it

 

I never doubted before

 

I believe; that‟s how they taught me

 

And to control that, "Never ask' Ishmael Wont you just believe!!"

 

 

 

But why,

 

Should I thank you for what‟s not done!

 

You are my only… And they say I should treasure that?

 

living according to your codes

 

But if truly you said that,

 

Is that not what you doing to us

 

Oh am selfish

 

Writing only to question, rather than ...

 

So selfish'

 

Daily Narration with different versions

 

Same codes but different aspects

 

But you attained the world'

 

You really remember concluding that.

 

I at times see your narration too brief

 

Too good that evil can’t exist

 

So blind that i just feel it

 

You will regret when the day comes.

 

Am waiting,

 

And I think waiting is right

 

Too poetic,

 

I know u understand Suppose

 

You do write another'

 

 

I requisite my name in it

 

It‟s seems so abstract such that, I had a dream'

 

You said I looked like you

 

`My own image!!' you told me

 

But i never said anything back

 

I wasn‟t satisfied.

 

 

Love

 

 

It‟s a direction lost to feeling

 

It‟s low on purpose for others to get it

 

Its silent and attention that i need

 

Don‟t talk, don‟t express, I know I will never attach

 

Hide it, down to invisible

 

 

Don‟t run,

don‟t go it‟s too deep in me

 

I can‟t show, if i do then it‟s valueless Now now show it and don‟t let grow

 

I will be here, there, we shall be Slow, come quickly closer Show' prove it; is it real?

 

Is it bright like these stars...

 

 

But will you give in another the day'

 

When it‟s no bright, when it‟s like the setting sun?

 

Will you...will we?

 

 

 

Am Only Human

 

 

Have had my thoughts balanced on a beam,

 

Well, forgive my attitude,

 

I couldn‟t picture our future in faith'

 

so I left my heart to feel,

 

Maybe its right for you and wrong for me

 

it happens that what we see is what it seems,

 

And angels like you to stay far apart leaves mybodyself in needs

 

 

Again am down for you, I know for you I have many sins.

 

What else do you expect from a human being?

 

The way I feel for you its proven by my knees

 

 

 

Because it changed me, I hurt you, i know that and my heart bleeds,

 

 

We both just kind of fell into this, You gave me proof that heaven exist

 

 

But tell me, what is love without a headache or twist?

 

Am Only Human; Forgive don‟t but forget.

 

 

 

Benediction for 2016

 

 

Long feast on your eyes, this cosmic date brought in a vision named

 

A few predicted woes,

 

Still we move along, up, beyond, in,

 

Planting fresh creative seeds, casting away old husks,

 

 

We feel deep awe for all that has ever happened but marvel even more that

 

 

Anything at all can happen.

 

Infused and confused within the unfolding cosmic aim, we seal our past in glass

 

And welcome, as all there is and will be, our future.
