Beloved
(Poetry)
31-07-2008
by david mbitu
Seems like eternity since I wrote to you dear,
Though not a thing is gone; all within and near.
The memories we caress with sorrow, on parting nights: of us.
Remember how walked in caroling effulgent lights,
Listening to nature, violins and...
By the River Side

by david mbitu
Eyelids opens divulging a rich morn.
Birds chipping sweet melodies of dawn.
Rays warm shine on the thick dew.
Illuminate a heart set on
inflated by sunrise fine view.
Mind outdistance yester memories.
As footprints goes...
CRY FOR OUR BELOVED KENYA
(Poetry)
8-01-2008
by david mbitu
As mountains gleam in lush green dawn
Under bronze Sunshine; listen to rivers flow
Your name embroiled in a peaceful lawn
My crumbling faith recovers; from fit blows
Words tumble in cold prints of memory drawn
Recording your fame; language of...
Fashion in the jungle.

What if the jungle animals wore clothes?
Mr. Tall Giraffe the managing director,
Would always be late for business meetings.
Tying some hundreds ties on his long neck.
Brigadier Lion would look majestic.
Wearing a military uniform;...

I cry of living in the world of no tomorrow.
Fear overcomes joy of dreams scattered
A young heart burn to it’s weary in sorrow.
Soul ignited by evil red- colored.
In the orchards I seek refuge.
And see nature ripe in abundancy...
Foregone day
(Poetry)
20-04-2008
by david mbitu
On this day.
After impatient months of cradling years.
The sun busted through vaulted azure skies.
Refracting rays of warm hope inclusion.
On my envious face; splendid like the summer.
I spotted you among all else: walking briskly.
With...
From kenya with love

If they came today; faces would crumple with agony
Unstaunched wounds of wars would open fresh
With memories of pledges and battles of deliverance
The freedom fighters who sworn patriotism
Tears would drip from eyes round with amazement...
Heal My Sister's Heart
(Poetry)
22-06-2006
by david mbitu
The clouds roll in, the rain is coming
Words from souls comes showering
Passion burns as hell
To see my Sister's broken heart heal
For so long tears drip with innocence
Deaf to the friends of twilight
Join the swing they entice
Now...
Mama
(Poetry)
20-04-2008
by david mbitu
The wind flaps as she knits a coat.
On a cold evening, whistling; me, a toddler, tagging her.
Every stitch bound with great love, to cover me.
Through stormy nights her heart never changed.
She carried me for nine heavy months,
And wiped...
Sing my own song

by david mbitu
For how long will this be?
that i lie here in solemn indolence
and dream of sunrise in a rainy season
as i roll sleepless in the bunks
in the night that so hurt
listen cricket glint sad tales.
vision & dreams that never came true...
The Art of Patience

The tropical sunshine kisses the land
Folks play the tunes passed through seasons
toiling and breaking the brown soil, wet baked
working till their skin is torn in hearty song
Behind them comes the mothers of nature
sowing the seeds of...

The inmate
(Poetry)
1-05-2008
by david mbitu
Behind the bars; your eyes scare shining in the dark.
rolling on your rags; staring blank on glaring bulb.
what of your first class honour and a decent job?
what a waste? locked up like a zoo beast.
what visions do you have? crouching at the...
The Last Breath
(Poetry)
24-09-2008
by david mbitu
On the vast plundered valley and plains,
Stands a lonely frightened tree.
Tumultuous waves of destruction abound her.
A sense of doom around, the human encroach.
Her swinging canopy gives a sorrowful bow.
Ungrateful ingrate, power saws...
The music of our fathers (Ngoma)
(Poetry)

by david mbitu
The music is dead, buried in fading echoes of dreams.
Oh, ancient fathers, let me hear the Ngoma just for once
Boom… boom… cha… cha… doo… doo... kuchi… kuchi…
For my body and soul weep from simulated drums,
Just a moment of Ngoma on a...

by david mbitu
Joy fills my heart, heaving with the mysteries of life.
Passion unknown unto words like a dear dream.
Dear, within, hear the counsel gnawing at wrinkled cliffs.
My unborn son, live in us when our bones mold from vim.
Learn from your father...

There is so much to learn from your legacy.
With the voice of man; you built an empire on Mt Zion.
Music of your soul like prophesy reveled.
Songs of awe still stirring the bushes like a lion.
Only if we could capture them within our very...
