REST DEAR AUNTY
(18+)
Weeks ago, the doctors told us that a very sneaky, shape shifting, rapid proliferation, demon-cancer moving with a sadistic glee Was swiftly violating your body Its Venom trickling down your body A dark cloud hovered in the summer sky We never knew anything for certain But we were hopeful and looked forward to your recovery I remember your brave face through all the pain and suffering You didn't shed a single tear; In your eyes we saw pain and agony Slowly tears rolled down our eyes, they wouldn't refrain. you stayed intact, strong and positive You gave us hope, you promised to be okay We knew the time had come to say goodbye, It was so hard to let you go You told me, mwili ni maua And now I understand that we are impermanent beings that eventually fade away, So I'll love life, be thankful, and just do the best I can for as long as I can. There is a ferocious fire, slowly scorching and tormenting us, To be brave is to cry, they say We have been balling our eyes out since we received the news of your demise. Rest my dear auntie It's hard to say goodbye We love you Huruka uhoro

Unbreakable heart
Behind your back people are talking Using words that cut you down to size You want to fight back It's building inside you Holding you up Taking you hostage It's worth fighting for They'll try to take your pride Try to take your soul They'll try to take all the control They'll look you in the eyes Fill you full of lies Believe me they're gonna try So when you're feeling crazy And things fall apart Listen to your head Remember who you are You're the one You're the unbreakable heart

I Saw a Dream
I saw a dream, and there were you, And there was coldness in your eyes. I wonder what a kind of true Made you become as cold as ice. And later I looked back to get a sense This empty glance was hellish call of past. It used to be a high and strong defense Against the world, the pain and me at last. You looked at me, and peering in your soul, I felt so lonely, as something vital died. And that is what I fear most of all - That nothing gentle will remain inside. Inside of you. Inside of me as well. And nothing will be said to farewell.
