• Thats What it feels Like

  Posted: June 24, 2010, 1:46 pm by cerealinabox

  it's like you are an egg,
  someone cracks you open and pours out ur insides on a hot pan,
  
  it's like being an ant,
  then a boot lands ontop of you, harder and harder till your midriff explodes,
  
  it's like being 2months old,
  your tummy hurts like hell and all you can do is cry and pray someone knows why you are,
  
  it feels like you are dying of thirst,
  you feel your body drying out like a sponge being wrung,
  
  it feels like you are Thika road,
  a dusty bumpy piece of road with only the promise of a better future,
  
  it feels like you just broke you to pieces,
  starting off a chain reaction where each piece breaks further an further till you are nothing but dust.
  
  dust that has no form,
  that has no choice but to blow with the wind,
  scattered to far hills.
  
  it feels like Phiona will kill me for writting this poem,
  and i can't wait to see her flog a dead horse.
  
  thats what a broken heart feels like.

• Man Must Hope

  Posted: June 19, 2010, 4:25 pm by cerealinabox

  The Eskimo 
  
  She pulls the coat closer,
  Willing the air to grow warmer,
  In a house of ice,
  In the land of ice,
  
  She has seen this before,
  But it has never been this cold before,
  She pulls the blanket closer,
  Willing the fire to burn brighter.
  
  She knows one day,
  This endless dark shall end,
  The sun shall rise,
  and with its glow the ice shall thaw,
  
  Then she will unbutton her coat,
  Revealing her beautiful curves,
  Letting down her long hair,
  
  Until then, shiver, sniffle,
  She pulls her coat closer
  Man must hope.
  
  The Maasai
  
  He swats a fly,
  Looks at the sun in the sky,
  He wants to spit but his mouth is too dry,
  A cow licks the caked earth.
  
  He has seen this before,
  But it has never been dry this long,
  He loosens his lesso,
  Willing the cool breeze to blow harder.
  
  He knows one day,
  The endless sun shall cease,
  Clouds shall gather,
  And amid thunder, rain shall spatter.
  
  Then he will button his coat,
  Hiding his frail frame,
  Sniffing the smell of wet earth,
  
  Until then, pant and sweat,
  He dabs his forehead,
  
  Man must hope.

• Wanting Nothing more...

  Posted: June 8, 2010, 5:32 am by cerealinabox

  wanting nothing more than you,
  needing nothing less than your heart,
  your heart with me in it,
  like you are in mine.
  
  Wanting nothing more than your kiss,
  Those soft warm lips that give me bliss,
  needing nothing more than your embrace,
  your head on my chest, my eyes on your face.
  
  Wanting nothing more than you to want me,
  needing nothing more than you to need me.
  A sign, a hint, a word, a deed,
  that you too,
  that you too need nothing more.

• last Night I wrote you a Text

  Posted: June 1, 2010, 6:00 pm by cerealinabox

  Last night I wrote you a Text,
  It said hi dear,
  It asked how u were,
  whether you had a good day,
  
  I told you about my day,
  How i had woken late,
  Mowed and swept with a rake.
  
  Last night i wrote you a text,
  I did not ask you if you had missed me,
  I did not tell you that i had,
  
  It did not ask you if you if u spent the day thinking about me,
  Like i had,
  I did not tell you I love you,
  or how much it hurt not being with you,
  
  Last night i wrote you a text,
  A text I did not want to write you.
