Garden in my heart

She planted a garden in my heart
And now I hold a bouquet in my hands

She planted the seeds of courage
So my flowers could be strong

She planted the seeds of belief
So my flowers could blossom with faith

She planted those seeds with love
So my flowers could blossom with care

She did all this for me
Never knowing if she will get them back in return

Today I surprised her with a bouquet
With flowers so radiant

Strong and bold
From the courage she gave

Faithful and honest
From the believe she instilled

So lovely and cherished
Because of the care she gave

I do all this for her
Just like she once did for me

a great deed i owe

Not all angels have wings
Not all superheroes wear capes
Some we know
They walk around us everyday

Hail to the man that has never looked another down
Except when they are helping them up
For they are the true heroes
They are the guardian angels of our lives

They walk
And they talk
They never preach
But word always gets out

The real guardians are here
The real mentors live
Souls of such young bloods
With an endless bounty of potential

So to thine I say thank you
Keep up the good work
For we are never lost
Until we are truly found

I take my hat off
Salute
For your assistance has been divine
So to thee, I owe a great deed

Here words

Her words make me smile
They make me light up inside

Her smile makes me laugh
It makes my heart giggle

She doesn't need to do much
For much of it goes unspoken

I love her
From the bottom of my heart is true

For she makes me weak yo my knees
In her presence I can't stand.

In my eyes I hope she never looks
For I doubt if I could ever love her right

I tremble in fear
For one day she might be gone

So I tread carefully
So as to savour the moment

But I want to seize the day
Because she ignites me from inside

Butterflies flutter in my stomach
Just at the thought of her

My day stays bright
Just at the thought of her being with me.

I love her so
That I hope she knows

For her words make me smile
They make me light up inside

Her eyes make me melt
For she is the radiance I prayed for

And now that she is finally here
All I can do is tell her that I love her

Her words 25/02/15

Be

He said be like a tree
And let the dead leaves fall away

He said be like a drop in the ocean
For even a drop has a ripple effect

He said be weak
For you shall know your strength

He said Be
And I was.

Life is but a journey of a thousand miles
Each one with its own thousand paths

Which ever that I choose
Shall ultimately get me there

So I walk this journey alone
In hopes to oneday find a companion

Though my heart bleeds for it
I am not afraid to make it on my own.

He said be like a tree
Always intact in its conscious mind

He said be like the ocean
And let it all be a part of you

13/02/15

Open eyes(but wide shut)

For I once loved
I will learn to love again

From once loved
I will learn to be loved again

To now hated
They will learn to cherish me again

Because I was once lost
They will notice when I am on the right track again

From being idolised
They will learn to depend on me again

Now i am back on my journey
I will learn to make it there

For I am now determined
And I am going to stop at nothing

It is my turn now
And I am raising the roof up in this building

The world is my playground
And I am going to play hopscotch all over it

For if they once knew me
They will know me again

If I could once be the greatest
I will be the greatest again

It is my turn to shine
It is my turn to stand in the spotlight

This is my destiny
And I will run the show

Because this is something unknown within me
And that is something they can never stop

I am going to be on top of it
And that is how it is going to be

For I once loved
And I can learn to love again

For I was once loved
And I will be loved again

And those that think they hate me
Will learn to cherish me again

For as I once may take a step in my journey
I know I am going to make it there

I have seen it clearly with my eyes
Though they were wide shut

 12/02/15

Never look back

I will never look back
You have to believe me when I say
Because life is all that I have
And it is a forward moving journey

The past doesn't serve as a reminder
Thats why I don't love there no more
The future shall always be a mystery
Thats why I don't live for it

I work on my present life
Each day o tilt the soil of life
Making hay on this day and time
As I plant seeds for my future

This journey of life is mine
And I am going to live it
Whoever shall walk with ke
Shall travel with le to the light

For o heard freedom calling my name
Heaven, I shall make it there
And my soul shall finally know peace
As I finally rest in my spiritual home

This is a journey of the soul
My belief centres in my heart
This life is all I have
Though I have no fear of loosing it

 13/02/15

Be

He said be like a tree
And let the dead leaves fall away

He said be like a drop in the ocean
For even a drop has a ripple effect

He said be weak
And you shall know strength

He said Be
And I was.

Life is bit a journey of a thousand miles
Each one with its own thousand paths

Whichever that I choose
Shall ultimately get me there

So I walk this journey alone
In hopes of one day finding a companion

Although my heart bleeds for it
I am not afraid to make it on my own.

He said be like a tree
Always intact in its own conscious mind

He said be like an ocean
And let it all be a part of you

For you are the earth
And the earth is a part of you

This is my life
And I am going to let no one live it for me.

13/02/15

I am in love(with the real me)

I'm in love
With myself

I'm in love
With my friends

I'm in love
With my family

I'm in love
With everyone around me

I spread this love to those who love me
In hopes that those who hate will see

I spread this love to those around me
So that those aren't get close to me

I walk this path alone
Knowing you will join me

Once the clouds a parted
And the sun shines brightly

When it rains no more
And the birds are outside playing

You shall see the love
For it will resonate in all that I do.

I'm on love
With myself

I'm in love
With friends

I'm in love
With my family

I'm in love
With everyone around me

Because I know
They are just an extension, of the real me

 18/02/15

Open your eyes

Open your eyes
To the spenders of the world around you

Open your ears
To the mystical sounds around you

Open your heart
To the majestic love that is abundant.

We blind our eyes
And act like we see

We deafen our ears
But act like we hear

We rob ourselves of emotion
And act like we feel them.

What is our course
What is the reason

Why are we lost
Why do we need freeing

Are we really that lost
That we don't see it

18/02/15

Fight for you

I will fight for you
I will die for you
But the only thing I won't do
Is lie to you

This world is lie
All but the way live in it
Its not a lie
Its no secret

If we all tried
We could change it
If we all fail
We will have learned something

18/02/15

Hello Hello(hello than goodbye)

Hello hello
Or is it hello and goodbye

Hello hello
Why does it have to be hello than goodbye

We are friends, yes?
We are lovers, no?

So hello hello
Though I didn't want it to be hello than goodbye

But leave me you must
On my lonesome I shall walk.

Hello, hello
Or is it hello and goodbye

Hello, hello
Though I didn't want it to be hello than goodbye

For a love so young
That hasn't even seen the light of day

No storms we have faced
No memorys we have made

Though say it I must
Hello, hello. Hello, goodbye

 11/02/15

The way home

Not all angels fall from the sky
Not all demons creep from beneath
Some of them walk amongst us
Out here in this desolate barren land

With wings long broken
And horns out growing
They live with us
Walking amongst mere man

You might see it not
But the image is so real
They live, sleep and breath with us
Doing their job tirelessly and without fail

They are angels that walk among man
Long forgotten from the place they call home
There are demons that share with us from the same plate
Secretly doing their own bidding

We see it not buy they are around us
Why they are here I will never tell
Why I may not speak is for you should know
That they are of our own creation

Locked in our minds, sometimes we hear
Other times we listen to them speak
Most of the time we are in conversation
But these spirits in our minds, know the way home

13/02/15

Home(invitation)

You are not invited
In this life that I live

You are not welcome
In this journey that I take

I wish to see my lifes successes
And you don't hold that space for me

So you are not welcome
In this journey I take

For I wish to make it home
But you keep me shackled in this prison

Your web of lies
Shall no longer entrap me here.

So you are not welcome
In this life that I live

You are not invited
In this journey that I take

For you are not of my family
So you could not be a friend of mine

So I cannot walk with you
For you will never lead me home

13/02/15

my guardian angel

She said smile
And I smiled

She said laugh
And I laughed.

Her wish is my command
She needs not ask
For I will gladly oblige

She is me
And I am her
But we are not us

For we are not lovers
Nor are we friends
We are merely one.

I love her like no other
She loves me like no other
We love each other like no other
We have never felt a love like this

This love is exciting
It is igniting
It is so ambient
Radiating from inside

I smile without fail
She smiles without fail
We smile without fail
Even though we are miles apart

I am her enchanting lover
She is my spiritual healer

My guide when I am lost
Just like I am her man when she needs.

She smiles, I smile
She laughs, I laugh

For I am her knight in shining armour
And she is my guardian angel.

 10/02/15

A friendly kind of love

I feel your smile in my heart
Its joy illuminates its darkness

I feel you pain in my heart
Your anguish, brings it to tears

I feel your love all around me
Though I have never had you near

I feel you without contact
For we connect through our hearts my dear.

This love is for the lonesome
For they need to know someone is there

And you are there for me
As I am there for you

We are united
We are one

Space could never divide us
As long as we know we are loved.

10/02/15

What am I waiting for

What am I waiting for, to start
What am I waiting for, to begin

What are you waiting for, to start
What are you waiting for, to begin

What really is my problem
What really is it, keeping me

I can't help but question
Because it is a problem I feel

Deep down this is something
That I am trying to get to the bottom of quick.

Slowly I am standing up
Because I can feel I have long sit down

But first I am trying to figure out
What I am waiting for, to begin

 09/02/15

All that i have

You are all that I have
And all that I have is you

You wouldn't ever get it when I talk
But what I talk about is for you

We are united
Separate is a lie

You, are the one who looks like me
And no one else

But yet you fail to see the connection
That you, are the one that I need

No longer can we go about life
Aimlessly lying to ourselves

When the truth is out there and we can see it
That you ate all that I have

None of you will ever get it
But you will claim to know it

Only because the way I say it
Is for you to question.

You are all that I have
Only because I human like you

 09/02/15

We(all that we have)

You are all that I have
And I am all that you have

If what you got is not satisfying
Were else are you going to find something different

We are all one
Just separated by ideologys

We are all buy one
And a lot don't seem to notice it.

You are all that I have
And all that you have is me

We are human
Aren't we not

We are unison
Aren't we not

For if we ever are divided
Wouldn't we have been lost?

09/02/15

Me(me)

Me; me; me; me
I do this for me
I do this for us
For we are united
Not separate
Just separated.
Me; me; me; me
I'm proud to say its my turn
Not to say your time is up
But I also want to be free
I also want to be at peace
And all that joyous stuff.
Because it has never been about me
It has always been about you
And that never benefited us
No matter how hard we could try
It will never add up to us.
Me; me; me; me
Yes, you head me right
And if you can't stand the truth
Better start searching for were they lie

Me(me) 09/01/15

Each day

Everyday
you learn something new
About yourself
About your friends
About your family
About the world
About everyone
About everything
And also about nothing.
Everyday
We feel something new
About ourselves
About our partners
About our acquaintances
About our world
About our future
About our present
Not forgetting our past.
Everyday
We loose something old
And gain something new
We learn about our faith
As we take time to believe
We have new hopes
As we dream new dreams.
Each day
Might not seem like much
Each day
You may not learn much
Each day
You may not feel any different
But funny how when you look back
You always seem to come from somewhere different
That is because
Each day
Is the moment we are judged with
Not the legacy we leave behind

 09/02/15

Undying love

My undying love
Which never fades away
Like her candle at the windowsill
Which proves she still awaits me
Grows stronger the more I miss you

Even though I don't know you
Nor have I seen your face
If only I had the chance
To smell your radiance around me
Than I would know my search is done.

My undying love
Bleeds for your touch
Cries for you whispers
And grows lonesome
The more I am, with you

Search this world I will if I must
Just to have you by my side
Because I feel so bare
Your love without
But always clothed when you are around.

My undying love
Has seen me leave everything behind
For the hope that real love is out there
Just waiting for me to discover it
And cherish it like a lost treasure

For none I have ever found
That made my soul feel at peace
And my heart feel at home
No love have I found like it
And I will die searching for a love like it

 09/02/15

My rock of ages

MY ROCK OF AGES. What can I do without you?
Where can I be without you?
Who can I trust more than you?
I can go around the world..
..and still find no one like you
I can pretend all day long..
..and still can't do without you
You have be there for me since my sunrise
On every birthday, you had a surprise
It was never easy for you when I went..
..out into the world
Fragile in the wild
I did a lot of crazy things
I crossed the line a thousand and one times
But still you had my back
You still showed me with the motherly love
You kept on preaching your proverbs
You felt my pain, you saw my joy
You sacrificed for me, even when I didn't see
To me and my sister, you are ever a star
Shining in our daily lives, never dim
You light our paths and rekindle our hopes
You will always be a shoulder to cry on
FOREVER, My Mama
My rock of ages

By Matolo Kaylo jnr in Kenya

raising today's love generation

I love people
And for some funny reason
People have started loving me back

At first I wanted to know why
And How could this be
Then I remembered love is all around me
So how could I ever fail to be loved

I started loving myself
And the world started loving me back
For I love who I have became
And that is a loving entity

Love is my teaching
Love is my religion
It is my home
Its my sanctuary haven

I will plant its seeds in the hearts of men
And let it blossom in those who believe
And we shall turn the world around
For we are todays love generation

Nako yame(full setwsana poem)

Ke emeletse
Ga nkitla ke emela ope

Ke emeletse
Ga nkitla ke dula ka marago

Ke emeletse
Mme ga ke buele morago

Ruri go tsamaya kego bona
Mme ke goyang game ke goitse

Wame mosepele ke wa botshelo
Gonne ke rula mo baswing

Mabane ya nna maloba
Tsatsi le mphirimetse

Ke ne ke robetse
Mme ke tsogile yanong

Ye ke nako yame
Ya go tshameka e fetile

Go gona nako ya go lebelela ko morago
Fa ko pele ele ko ke goyang

Ke ba gotle go tumelong
E tla nkgorosa ke goyang

Ba rata le ba sa rati
Mo ke botshelo jwame

Nako ye ke yame
Ke ya go dira se ke se batlang la yone

 03/02/15

my time (English translation to "nako yame")

I have stood up
And I will wait for no man

I have stood up
And I will never sit down

I have stood up
And I am never going back on it

Truly to go is to experience
Though were I am headed I know not

My journey is for life
For I am waking from the dead

Yesterday became an aeon ago
As the sun set on me

I was asleep
But I am awake now

This is my time
Time for play has passed

Theres no time to look back
When forward is were I am headed

I want that I believe in
For it will get me there

Weather they love it or not
But this is my life

The time is mine
And I am going to do what I want with it

 03/02/15

Why

How God has saved me
I will never know

Why god has saved me
I may never know

But what I do know
Is that I still breath

That I am yet to seize
So I believe it is a sign

What I was yet to know
Why I am yet to see

Thats why I believe
For it must be for the best

 03/02/15

Yesterday

Looking at yesterday
I can't help but smile
For my tomorrow
Is worthless
If I dont live today

Looking at yesterday
I can't help but smile
As I fall in love with my tomorrow
Because I choose to live today
And never give up on my success

My hopes and dreams
Give me that courage to move on
To do what I love
To always never give up
As I concentrate on my future

A tomorrow we are not promised
A yesterday we have all lived
Today is the day we are promised
And the moment we are to live
For that is the moment we are alive

Looking at yesterday
I can't help but smile at tomorrow
For I live my life today
And make an effort to make hay
For I still see the sun shining

04/02/15

connected

Open your eyes and view the worlds splenders
Open you ears and hear all the worlds wonders
Igniting, exciting, exhilarating and breathtaking

Open your heart, and let the world in
Open your palms, and let the world feel you
Open your lungs, and let the world breath you

Open yourself to this world
Let its beauty serenade you life
And fill you with its unknown splenders

This world is mine
This world is yours
It works to feeds of us

We feed of it
We live in it
We are it

First we must believe
Believe in ourselves
Believe in each other

For we are one
We are united
Always connected

Like the lifes we live
Always depending on each other
For we are always united

 04/02/15

A lie(travelling in the wrong direction)

What if this one direction
That we are travelling on
Is actually the wrong direction
That we should be travelling on

What if this light at the end of the tunnel
Is not the destination of our journey
But rather its ultimate demise
Who are we than to travel along its path

We know not what we preach
But still we preach with utter dexterity
Believe in it ourselves
That it is the ultimate truth.

What if this one direction
That we are hopelessly traveling on
Has long been prophesied before us
As the distraction of mankind

For we walk aimlessly trying to defend ourselves
And the actions that we do
But never taking the time to look back
And view the impact that it has

We are but organisms on this plane
But yet we feel as if we are Gods
While we still bow down and pray to a God
Than who are we to know what we don't

For we are born and raised
We are taught than praised
We learn through bruises and scrapes
So who ever decided the path is correct

A lot we know not
But plenty we feel we know
I would never lie when its not me
For I feel we are lost in our own translations

When are we going to find the path
When are going to see the truth for what it is
How long are going to live this life
Even when wefeel its all a lie

 04/02/15

believe(in me)

I am not afraid to do it on my own
For I walk this journey alone

I am not afraid to wali alone
For who else will I blame

I walk through these perils of life
Like I walk through the shadows of death

I have no fear
Except of never having to try my hand

With luck I will succeed
But if I fail I will have had fear

Of venturing into the unknown
And leaving behind what is

I have faith in myself
And that is something I never had

04/02/15

Aim

A pen and a page
A blunt and a dream
My hope and my wishes
Thats my life in definition

I wish to change a few
And to grow a few more
I wish to add a few
And remove a few more

This is my life
This is how I live it
This life how I love it
But I am going to make the effort

Were I start I never know
But where it ends that is my dream
I know for that is my aim
And I am never going back on it

 04/02/15

Terrorist of the truth

I am a terrorist
Here to terrorise
And bombard your mind
With the truth

I am a terrorist
Here to set you alight
Because you live in fear
And I am going to feed of it

I am free
I am awakened
And I am in control of my life
Thats why I am here to teach you

How to set yourself alight with knowledge
How to bomb yourself with the truth
You shall become an insurgent of life
Attacking all that isn't real

I am a terrorist of the truth
Here to set you mind ablaze
While your heart commits conscious suicide bombing
Killing all negativity in its path

I will never rest until the whole world knows me
And fears me for what I do
My terror attacks will be met with warfare
By those who wish never to be free

 05/02/15

Asleep(falling)

Slowly but surely everyday
I was falling asleep
And I did not notice it

Slowly but surely everyday
I was loosing it
And I did not do a thing about it

But my minds awake now
And I see more clearly
I hear without a sound

This is the life I created
My own bed of roses
And I am going to lay in it

I am not afraid
For fear lives not in me
And it can never control my mind

I am not weak
For I have the strength to carry on
The courage to rise when I fall

Truly I am awakened
For even when I sleep I am awake
And I see what they don't want me to see

Slowly but surely everyday
I was falling asleep
Until it was the time to get up

And now I am finally awake
And I am never going back to sleep
Because I am finally set free

 05/02/15

my path

Walk your path
And I will walk my path
And were our paths meet
We will talk once we get there

So walk upon your path
And I will walk upon my path
And if they never meet
Than it was never meant to be

 05/02/15

memorys

Theories and ideologies
I have thoughts ruling me

From goals to dreams
Wishes are ruling me

But awake
From these lies that are binding me

For thoughts
Are no longer in control of me

So see
What my life is going to be

For I have let
The true guide guide me

So believe
For I am making it there

Because I believe
In where my emotions are taking me

 02/02/15

asleep (awakened)

Asleep
I do not believe that I was

Asleep
But on the contrary I was asleep

Awakened! from this slumber I have
For now I see, even when there is nothing in sight

So asleep
Maybe it was the time

So that when I wake
I can get my job done

So asleep
I may have been

But now I am awake
And I don't have the time to fall back to sleep

 02/02/15

the light(living under peoples shadows)

How long will I
Be living under peoples shadows
When mine follows me around

Everywhere I go
Everyplace I have been to
My shadow is always right behind me

Guess I have to follow it
Follow its example
And do things for me

No longer shall it be you
No longer shall it be us
For it is now time for me

Me
This soul here
Has been lost for so long

Now it is finding itself
I am finding my way
I am finally doing things for me

And it is great
The feeling is awesome
I feel exhilarated, I feel rejuvenated

I feel so free
I feel at peace
This is me

This is who I was destined to be
I can hear the success calling me
Telling me I have made it

This is the final step
Even if I fall
I can crawl the rest of the way

For I see the light
Like a beacon of hope in front of me
Showing me I can make it there

There
That place that I wish to be
Is no longer so far away from me

So how long will I be living under peoples shadows
When they are blocking me from seeing the light
That is now in front of me

 03/02/15

my books

I don't think about the past
I don't concentrate on the future
I make it a point to live my life today

No more shall I look backwards
No more shall I look forwards
When life is here today

Every breath that I take
Every step that I take
I will be living it

This is my life
And I make it a point to live it
The best way that I can

You might not like it
You might not agree with it
You might not accept it

But who are you to judge
Who are you to deny me the chance
Only because it doesn't conform by your way

Well this one is mine
I am carving it from scratch
And paving it with stone

Maybe along the way you may see
But for now all you see
Is your prejudiced opinion

That is not mine
That is not who I be
And that is not what I do

So starting from today
Starting from now on
I will always be first only in my books

 03/02/15

lost

Lost
In this world
With no place to go

Lost
On this earth
With only one place to go

Will I ever be found
Even though I ain't even missing
Will I ever be found

I know it sounds profound
But what is profound
Is what I am searching for

 03/02/15

erL is(me)

ErL is
Alive
Not meaning I was dead

ErL is
Awake
For I was once asleep

ErL is
Determined
Because I was once he was once uninspired

ErL is
For I am
Everyone

03/02/15

ErL is(Us)

ErL is me
ErL is you
ErL is us
For erL is everyone

We are human
We are united
We are related
So we are always connected

This is us
Who we be
How we live
So why do we segregate each other

We divide each other
With hopes to unite each other
But we are dividing each other
The more we are deny each other

ErL is hope
ErL is faith
ErL is destiny
For erL is us all

For I am human
We are human
Always united
Connected we be

That we cannot deny
For its who we are
Its our destiny
To once again be connected

03/02/15

agendas

Me me me me
Everybody is on about themselves
But what is the value of the word me
I mean
Everybody is on about themselves
Even when it isn't in the best interest of me
Like you to me, this author
Get it
People push agendas
Agendas are personal
And nothing personal
Is in the best interest of people
Believe it

Lost
On this earth
With only one place to go

Will I ever be found
Even though I ain't even missing
Will I ever be found

I know it sounds profound
But what is profound
Is what I am searching for

 03/02/15

me(the individual)

Like a leaf
Blowing in the wind
I hand no stand

Like a needle
In the middle of a haystack
I was never at home

Like the calm
Before the storm
I could feel my energy brewing

This is not me
This is not who I am
Or were I am going to end

I am not going to lie
I am not going to pretend
For I will be denying myself the truth

I am not home
I am not supposed to be here
When there is a whole new world out there

So I strive for change
So that I may know peace
And I may finally be free

Free
From what is binding me
Free from what is holding me down

I do it for me
For that is who I am
Just another individual

To hell and back

For my dreams
I would gladly crawl to hell and crawl back
With a smile on my face
Just to tell the devil that
No longer will I dance with him
Under that pale blue moonlight
When I got a life to live
Dreams to achieve
And goals to accomplish.
No longer will I
Play dice with my life
Like I was living of the odds
But when will they be even
Because the house has never lost
Meaning I will never win.
So for the success of my dreams
I would not only crawl to hell and back
But I would gladly wear a smug smile on my face
Because the devil is no friend of mine
And my future
Is mine to live if I wish

 02/02/15

Me

If its fuck me
Than its fuck you

For I will fight
But for more

For this is my life
And it is not yours

I will survive
No matter what

For I am human
And not a door mat

So I do things for me
And not for you

This is how to survive
This is how to live

This life is mine
And I am going to live it how I want

For I believe
I believe in me

And no one else
