I saw through the night,
My eyes, always on you,
Instead of the knife.

Wings, wild across the white,
Heart still filled with horror,
So, on and on - and out of sight.

Naivety, leads to fighting,
Like pencil leads to writing.
Wings, used to fly,
Like fathers are to leaving,
No need to try.

Vast, like oceans, 
Endless, like addictions to opiates.

Nobody cares where you're going,
Past, child soldier,
Nobody cares where you're going,
Feather across the face,
Then under the eyes.

The night is dark,
Sun fills the sky.

Volleyball, dodging zombies,
Down the street, serving coffee,
Like stars revolved around me.

Also like stars:
She doesn't need a third body,
Complicating things,
She doesn't need another colleague,
She just wants me gone,
And wants my money,
Like stars revolved around me,
And I owe them everything.

Karate Chops, melancholy thoughts,
As she drops off a cappuccino cup.
Are you done... ?

No, I wish you would love me, 
And not be harmed.
And not across from me,
Always held away,
Like stars revolve.

Table between bonds, 
Prayer shawl across the arms,
I think you've nodded off...

So upstairs and criss-cross,
Stress balls, stretch marks,
Leading to ex marks.

I wish things weren't the way they are,
You and I could finish what we started,
But everything is decided by economics,
Including the birth of a daughter,
And the laughter that comes along with it.

Fables between health bars,
Self, like her chess clock,
Untouched between punches.

I wish things weren't the way they are,
You and I had finished what we started,
Two people who never fell apart,
Including the birth of a daughter,
And the laughter that comes along with it.

Upon the scale, weight,
Upon frets a finger lays,
A box of steaks,
A lot of range,
A lot of slaps across the face.

Upon the face, the brain,
Comfort: Darkness. Not just gray.
Not just shame,
Not just rage,
Not just hop up on a train,
Stardust trails along the way.

Upon the Earth, fate, 
Upon desertion, fingers shake,
Heavy upon the face and brain.
Not just weight,
Not just shame.
Knots, the stomach and fingers make.

I guess I changed,
Not the same as we played,
And it's not just the weight,
Inside I'm white and sage,
Like an apartheid state.

Love from the art class... 
Is everything the same, 
Or have you changed perhaps?

If my tomorrow never came,
Am I still just some faggot,
That never had your respect?
We both know front to back,
When it comes to class, but 
What about our crossed paths?

Does it matter, about the facts?
Whether I fell to able hands, 
You would rather write about it,
You already decided, so sing that, 
And when you finally do get to it, 
You shove it up your ass.

Love, from the bottom of my heart, 
They never taught you art in class, 
And you never learnt good taste,
Is everything the same? No...
I would say you changed, perhaps,
But you never had any fuckin class.

And, that comes from me...
Love, from the art class, 
All the way to the current of my heart:
Things have changed, 
It's better you stay hard, man,
A wave from across the bar.
Far away, like your honest thoughts.

Shadow cast across their skin,
Romance,
Allow me a dance along thin, 
White lines with darker ends.

Value passed through generation,
Thank you, and oft veneration,
And off to the races,
White lines drawn to darker ends.

And Why is it, he beats me still?
Alas,
Answers,
White lies to darker ends.

Romance, allow me a dance,
Along lines, dark wide expanse,
Around what lies in my bed,
Along legs and under hands. 

I watch as the white lines dance, 
Eyes: water, shut. Demands... 
Then an end to nice guy acts,
I'm not the one, but for now, I am.

Turtles to the top,
Turtles to the bottom,
Fixated on the comical,
Tequila on the tongue.

Curtain, rubber saw,
Surface cut across,
Love, when under cloth,
Nothing matters above.

I love you more than art,
I love you more than god.
Tongueless, trouble talking,
Unless I sing another song.

Forgive my writing,
I understand, we have not long:
'Touch upon,  yet world's apart,
Double malt until the color bars.'

Stares across the sheet of ice...
Ningen, it lives! My fear subsides,
Human eyes, inhuman smile,
alive... it's alive!

A light, like a flight, is a trial...
Neat circles and straight lines!
Figures, like a flight, need a pilot,
Skies above have no time or pride.
A night, like an iron spike, island,
Eye's iris, thick thighs or curtness,
Always keep a place and purpose.
Unlike the Ningen, which flies...

Just hopes to last another lifetime, 
Like longing stares into a glass of rye,
Fish in the ocean or the turning tide.
What falls from the sky? What god divines?
What god provides? What father decided?
Despite what he tries, like a Ningen child,
Like looks across tables at what he despised.

Like a fucking guy who likes to get fucking high,
Although he decides, he decides, he decides...
His mind often trailed nonsense, then he cried,
Like a little baby, Ningen child that he hated inside.

Big curls, bench presses, 
High dives into the deep end 
Swim laps
Gettin' down with my boys
Hard drugs through the weekend
I feel that

Bike ride through the trees
See the colours change
Run flat across the bay
Just to tell my maynes

I'm bored, ditched lessons
I'm hitting up my best friends
But I'll nap first
Big curls, bench presses
Torn bicep and a bong rip
Yo, I'm good now

Skateboard through the crowds
Where the streets are paved
Eat shit, get scraped
I can feel no pain

Easin' down with my boys
Slow cookin' through the weekend
I feel that
A bit of strings, sum tings
Got damn, such a feeling
To feel that

my god i’m so lonely
so i set my small salt lamp
on the edge of the window
on the tiny wooden ledge

i turn the dial clockwise
and the light burns in my
eyes
sending a message to the dog across the street

the only one who might be able to understand my mess of  signals, signs indistinguishable from the clothes heaped on my floor

nobody, nobody nobody nobody 
nobody, oh, nobody nobody

somebody, anybody, nobody, again.

“Wake Up” 

Ahh, the unexpected depression 
of waking up to greet another day 
This menial mundane monstrosity 
Shaded in varieties of gray 

Sloughing through
begrudged routines,
Caged in by an endless checklist 
Punctuated only by commas. 

Collecting “cherished moments” 
On your camera roll 
To say the day was a happy one. 

Hiding behind the infernal screen, 
A spyglass to a world you don’t even want
But hold onto anyway 
with white-knuckled grip, 
Afraid that reality won’t measure up 
To this life stickered with fantasy labels 

And you wonder when the dreaming stopped, 
Probably that moment you realized you still hadn’t woken up a superhero, 
Or that unicorns don’t exist outside of fairy tales

When tomorrows bled into yesterdays 
And you looked back in wide wonder 
Questioning how you collected so many rings in your trunk 
And pondering where all the whimsy went 

Chasing shadows of what was
And what could have been, 
Gazing into the abyss of what-ifs 

Unnecessary self-induced miseries. 
A waste of numbered moments.

Time that could be spent counting freckles that bridge across tiny noses, 
And listening to the relentless chatter 
Of a little heart that has not yet been broken, 
And who still believes in the maybes. 

I see you little souls. 
For you, I awaken.

Rejoice O' Dear Pilgrim's
Steven Delvin Mututo Muturi

Rejoice! Rejoice!
My heart sings.
It's proud,quite a revolt,
Overwhelmed by high spirits.
Best better made choice's_
So proud of this feeling-
As not one can default_
Of all it truly seeks.
Fighting the wars,
merely won on the past_
previous Escapade's,
On the truces of truth.
Stands firm and tall,
Relatively all along.
A positive mentalist,
A determined mindset,
A humble individual_
Highly dedicated
And fully determined
Having negativism eradicated.
Despite how it all looks,
Sophistically complicated
I have all my wills,
Precious bills to be initiated.
A focused soul.
Doing the best to shake off,
All the shackles of darkness
Profuse dark need's_
No Hope mentality,
Out of our every human borne
Off the transgress,
Of life's worst enemy's,
That kill's hopes in life.
On very self individuals,
I try to wipe it all out
Erasing all its crooked details_
Engraved wildly on many
A blurred people's life.
The negatively emotional
Wrath stained life's invoice
Much a strain to many.
Just dearly,do hear my voice.
As in your personalised mails,
I will send some by the rails
Tagging along recorded clips_
Mine own recorded voice
Blended with messages of hope
The best percussionist's theme
With a perfect rhyming scheme
With a Hope streams beat sets
A perfect blend rhythm.
Rejoice!
Oo' ye' Brethren.
Son's and Daughter's,
Of the very Most High.
Let out your faint sigh's,
Relax your panting,
The gulping gasps,
And rest all your worries-
Along the wicked fears,
To the reign of the supreme
On the kingdom of the Most High,
Our Holy God.
Lay off,Yours all earthly burdens
And soar again-
As a new soul,
A new being_
Divinely borne
Blended in Holiness's.
Cast out your eyes
And settle them over,
The glittering sigh post_
With glittery letters of Gold,
That's so clear on sight.
A message of Hope,
To us all-
So loosen your grips_
And firm holds off the ropes,
That tags,drags along
The petty dark burdens
Of our own pretty pasts.
Embark on a Divine journey-
The very new noble course,
And progress with pilgrimage_
An affirmative programme,
Cruising mast vast mileages
Crossing many boundaries,
Past many a villages,
Across the horizons,
Preaching the Gospel.
Touching along lives.
New hopes,new things
Great achievements
And magnificent endeavors,
To people's you truly spell_
For a new life-
All can spell,
Walking in new Grace's
New righteous traces,
To the very far end..

I spread fear across nations,
Flear a cross paper, 
Peer no long favour,
No wrong feeling,
No wrong caper. 

I bend wills like cancer,
Spread near and patience, 
Science clairvoyant,
Poles of the earth moving.

I have a shelf of books, all ashes.
My most disastrous,
Poetically immaculate.
Writing of real life intangibles,
Kissing a boy by the shore, 
While the crowd screams more.
That's the 21st century, man,
Progress a little beyond books of ash,
Paper plates and cheques for cash,
Beyond are spaceship parts beneath trash.

If Etan must, they probably may have done,
So if May is upon, another spring comes,
Against a flower one cannot lean butt,
Especially with the shadow cast cut across.

Don't show up at the poetry contest,
Rhetoric political, ignorant, floral, passe,
Or expect they place you last, lame, fake.

Calculated lies of mitigation,
Circumventing a sky, of no direction,
Stars without conviction, shy to glow.
Mine to hold, like guy insecure,
They lie themselves, of times of old.
 Of Starlight swung across the shores,
However permanent their sky azure.
Like fire burns, administered thrones,
A King burns, as his kingdom below.
Too hot to be stolen, too hot to hold,
Yet hands like cold, death incarnate.
Lies foretold of fellowship honest,
History written of crying sole.
