When you Were Away

For every night
I was a goner
Your memory kept me alive
The thoughts of your smile
And what we wanted in life

Every night I was a goner
The nights were shortened
By the hope
Of our flames rekindling

Every night I was a goner
Thoughts of you
Kept me sane
Thoughts of you
Made me realize
I just wanted to stay

Every night I was a goner
Staring into the dark
Nights so silent
My only wish
If tomorrow comes
Then you shall
Be by my side

SHIT HAPPENS

Our Daily Poetry Family
Random Train

Shit happens
It happens all the time
We broke up just the other day
Still she has the audacity to appear in my dreams

Shit happens
It happens all the time
I had an exam so I stayed all night studying
I even watched an horror movie so sleep wouldn’t come
When I sat for the paper in the morning
It came to me that I read the wrong unit

Shit happens and it happens all time
I was busy watching porn in my room on my laptop
When mum entered and saw what I was watching

Shit happens
It happens all the time
Shit happens, a jokeful proposition, and  got a nod, and a wink.            She was the neighbor’s wife,  promised an evening tumble, my heart was in heaven, brimming with youthful excitement,                 the clock chimed 3:00, one hour to go, got the tools within reach.              Knock knock, wife’s back, village got too cold, Good Lord, why today?

Shit happens..
It happens all the time
Least when u expect it
I had failed my end year papers
Decided to edit my report form
Damn, shit happened
The principal had already emailed my dad the performance
And I had to face the music!

Shit happens
It happens all the time
I just slid into it
And am trying to rub bits off my coat.

Shit happens
It happens all the time
I met a chic called givens
I took her to the crib
I thought id found my lost rib
Then i ate the applepie
Then she let me lie
I woke in the morning
No tv.no laptop.just AIDS and mourning.

Shit happens
It happens all the time
I was walking on a rainy day
With my umbrella I walked like a model
Then a car passed by me and all I heard was Fwaaaaaa
Dirty water on my new dress
You know how these roads are with big potholes that are basins when it rained
I looked at my dress, dirty
Ifi go back I will be late for school
And I have an exam at 8
Shit happens
And forever it will happen.

Shit happens
And it happens all the time
To get a phone call that you’ve won the lottery
Found myself walking with newfound bravado,  speaking with an accent that billionaires have long got rid of
Got me that credit, splurged on things I do not need
I’ve got the money,
Who cares if I buy me a fur coat?
Boy, who cares if it’s summer?
To get a call just as you’re about to swipe out that yacht order,
_There’s been a mistake_
Shit happens
_You did not win, sir_
And it happens all the time.
Who wins the lottery when he’s never played in his life?
To think I almost went to Vegas to buy me a wife ?

Happens when you call it an International Poetry group
And the dominants spitting their mother tongue
While you not get anything

“Darling..Can we bang hard tonight?”
Were brother Ochola’s word in a prayer group
“Oops not for this group” was his reply to counter…
But a screen shot and the whole went web-viral..

Shit happens
You just remembered that you forgot an envelop with your school fees in a bar-restaurant where you met your sponsor, then
‘Fuck!!!’ You exclaim then instantly realize you’re with your pastor in his car when he gave you a lift

Shit happens it happens all the time
We agreed to do long distance
Not each others friends
That was our end
Shit happens it happens all the time
The only thing that was open in our relationship was her legs to every Tom dick and harry
I wonder who she will marry!
