Molten Lava – A Love Poem

Her skin silky supple, rich dark

Irresistible to touch

Over and over again

Her eyes slit molten lava of sensuousness

Alluring and dizzying

Playful and sizzling

Large and luminous, vulnerable and trusting.

Her hair cascades messily around her face

She looks stunning all the time.

Her smile lights up the darkest hours

Her kiss melts away all the pain

Her caress magically conjures goose bumps

Her voice still makes my heart skip a beat

Her love is tender, so breathtaking

I adore her.

My soul mate

In this and all my future reincarnations.

A Wealth of Dreams

I put together castles, wangle bridges, reach to touch the stars

I knit dreams, spin vivid webs of patterns, movement and colours

My mind bends my universe into how I recognize it

Skies and earth are a step apart

Adversaries and friends can blur at the stroke of a trance

The only true place I can fathom chaste bliss

My thoughts, words and acts constantly understood

I soar, I drift,

I feel perfect

The bubble bursts when sleep ends

And my perfect world is gone

Sobering me into this sad bad world

But I have my treasure dream chest

I open and enjoy the spoils

Each time I yield to mortal exhaustion

Perpetually grateful for this wealth of imagining.

Silent Secrets

There a manner of silences;

Some calm

Others awkward.

Few remain quiet

There are those that are heavily pregnant

Particular ones bursts at the seams.

Is silence a gilted cage

Or a warm shelter from the storms?

But what are silences other a cloud of halfs?

Half truths

Half lies….

Which half is bigger?

If it remains unspoken

Is it a secret?

A truth?

A lie?

A cage?

 A shelter?

We remain quiet

We will never know.

Hot Angry Tears

Hot angry flow of boiled molten rage

Run down dripping at every unspoken word

Exploding into endless tears

To shed every hurt, pain or infliction

Puffy eyes drained ducts

Throbbing head

Anger replaced with fatigue

No simple answers

Just a cleared tissue box

Through Sikiliza's Lens - Life Givers

Earlier this year I teamed up with 5 other women to come together and have an art exhibition in Nairobi to celebrate International Women's day.

As African artists we chose to illustrate African women through our lenses and worked with the theme, "Curving the Visual."

I chose to work with women being life givers and tried to capture the surreal captivating beauty of a woman with child.

Here are some of the highlights of that work. All the proceeds were going to women's charities the artist picked out.

Lift my Lips

Drops of joy plop in my path

 Echoes of laughter close by

A sudden splash of excitement

Perhaps an inkling of hope

Some light at the end of tunnel

That will free my soul

Allow my lips to lift again.
