NATURE IS MAGICAL Nature is extraordinary beautiful Filled with green The simplicity of nature Being very magical And we adore The wonderful clusters Flutters like a butterfly Butterfly hovering over flowers. Nature is extraordinary beautiful Woodlands greening Hints of snow, melting slow As the sun rises on a new day The garden blooming, flowers blooming Insects kissing them in a gentle way. #regnardbishoza

I AN AFRICAN WOMAN

I AN AFRICAN WOMAN

It's not yet 4:00am, I an African woman
Moving rekindling the fire from the overnight embers
Inside the mud - walled hut, my husband coughing
As the first birds are heard, he swings his legs over the bed side
A bed made from rough rope strung across a wooden frame.

He stands in the doorway and stretch
I Chausiku at my morning chores
As the cold dawn light suffuses the sky
I sprinkle water from a squat earthenware jar
Across the mud floor and sweep the dampened earth
With a brush of long grasses bound tightly together
The day has begun, I wearing a living smile.

I poke about in the straw of the hens
Hoping there might be eggs
To take to market to exchange for salt and oil
I find none, my mind in a little bit confusion.

The baby begins to cry, I fasten the child
To my back with a  long, dirty cloth
To keep him comforted until time to breastfeed
The child coughs, I feed the tiny fire
In what looks like an old biscuit-tin
With slow-burning wood to lost the kernels of wheat
For breakfast of my starving family.

I fetch water, I set my kids about chores
Some shift stones from their field for ploughing
Others take the ox on the long trek for water and pastures
My daughters spend hours fetching firewood
From the far mountainside and hills
Sadiki, the only male child sets off on the hour's walk
Walk to school.

I hoist the water container and swive it around
To lodge in the small of my back
My friend fastens it in place
I reach home, without break, I prepare for lunch
As the others eat, I breastfeed the child
Often, this takes a long time, an hour
Milk do not flow freely, no much food to go around
I cough, I loose, I rattle as I prepare little tasks
When the child's eyes die, I lay him among blankets.

In the afternoon, I leave the house to join my husband
In the field shifting stones for ploughing and sowing
I keep the weeds from the rows of sorghum
We return home tired in the late evening.

CLEOPATRA

CLEOPATRA

Ooh beauty ! doomed and perfect for an hour
Blind, banished from desire
Slaughters with sharp edges humble mankind
Carrying yourself with mortal heart
Draining the cup you've asked for it !
Cleopatra ! Cleopatra ! fatal mankind !

What's love? A doll nicely dressed up?
A thing of soft misnomers! So divine !
Divine by loving, and it bizarrely goes on !
Yawning a whole hot summer long !

Dying Anthony ! Fell a prey to Cleopatra
Foolish! Passions warming the cold world
Degrading the magnanimous personality
It's no reason why such incredible agony!

Cleopatra ! Beauty to extraordinary notice
Beautiful, charming, tempting but stingy !
Proud, sensible, vain, well groomed being
Powerful, conceited, exotic but horrible !

Cleopatra, seductress Cleo Patty Pharaoh
Able to enchant most powerful men
You took your own life for seek of love !
Your lust engulfed the lives of prisoners
Prisoners sitting on the royal stools
Peeping their noses to smell your sweat !

You're amazing, beguiling but deceiving
Full of yourself, fond of love inflammation
Buried in air, bore with unimaginable race
Pretty like rainbow, lived, died and lived
Poets walking on tongues for your cause.

THE COLOURED EPILOGUE

THE COLOURED EPILOGUE

Unbearable lifelong torture, intolerable insane
Squalid and stupid mankind consideration
Explicit and legal inhumane celebration
Mankind tearing, pieces of innocent human
Trafficked along the shores of African borders.

Chains tying necks of innocent blacks
Chains rattling, handcuffs slaughtering hands and legs to bloody
Predial servitude, abject and absurd
Old fashioned sexual abuse, mankind degrading
Detestable kind of extreme brutality.

Carnal brought by sound beating
Cruel whips cracking hotly over naked
Paying back kindness in bitter taste
Filthy chocking smell of mankind rotting
Africa, built on bloody black foundation.

Melancholy sealed Africa of bizarreness
Blood and torn bodies of forefathers
Irrigated victory and fatal survival
Survival of African nostalgia
Nostalgic tales of destruction and phobia

GIZA

GIZA

Cultural heritage and honour of greatness
Architectural contribution to mankind
The Great Pyramidal era of ancient Egypt
The pharaoh honour and mankind beauty
Though praise emanates from brainwash.

Great Giza and historical famous site
Mortuary temples, honour the deceased
Sarcophagus, mummified remains
Remains of great heroic world figures
Enormity paved the way to speculation.

Mankind worship, reign and elevation
Disdain of gods, mankind worst boast
Ivory statues, sealing evil of extremity
Kingship chambers, empty red granite
Sarcophagus ! Wicked ! Wicked !

Great pyramid, stair way to heaven
Way to heaven by the wicked mind
Corruption praised and adored kind
Egoism to godlike one's consideration
Evil on thrones by the fatal mankind.

Pyramids, world's oldest monuments
Monumental structures of honours
Pyramids, gigantic stairway by pharaohs
Stepping to imaginative heavens and evil
Pharaohs, eternal praise of mankind vain.

AFRICAN QUEEN

AFRICAN QUEEN

Be with me sweetheart, early and late
You're whatever moon has always meant
You're whatever a sun will always sing
I love thee to the depth and breadth
I love thee, to the height my soul reaches.

I dreamed you bewitched me
Into bed and sung me
Moonstruck, kissed me
Quiet insane, died me !

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle hole
You're as beautiful as the sunrise
You're the sweetest of all creatures
You're made of decorative fixtures.

My heart radiates with joy at thought
Thought of you, my mindset is caught
My face exhibits beautiful smiles
Classic smiles to lit the darkness.

I feel flushed and fiery in my mystery
I feel flouted with my mankind mystery
You're a beaconing beacon shine brightly
My lips beckon when you come close
Counting paradoxical heartbeats with ears.

My heart aches whenever I can't see you
Burnt with crave, lust,hunger without you
I am lost whenever I stop thinking of you
Rapture is captured with ecstasy with you

SWEETIE LITTLE DUMPLING

SWEETIE LITTLE DUMPLING

Your love brings waves of joy
Waves that sent my sorrows away
My aspirations rise and cherish
Each sweet second of our time to spend
Your love is the pen, my heart is the page
Like twins, let us create love eternity.

You're a fierce but very kind tiger
A tiger to tear my heart and mend it
You're as bright as a peacock
A peacock on a cold winter day
My love is like a hothouse orchid
My love is a prickly open cactus.

When I touch your soft skin
With my rough locomoting funny fingers
Fingers exploring the mystery secrets
Then I find driving you in vain spaces
Lost in direction but found my image
To you is where my mindset dwells
When trouble wallows and looms.

Voices screech with your absence
Your eyelashes beckon my service
Adoring to professional endowed careers
Resting comfort to your deserted thought
Laying rays of love onto your white pillow
