LOVE

       Love

You are sweet
 yet sour

You are kind
 yet mean

You are loving
yet deceptive

You are caring
yet oblivious to my deepest desire

I wonder which side of you
I'll see tonight

You are compassionate
 yet selfish

When it comes to your beautiful sent
I am captivated, hypnotized, bent down to you will.

You are a hidden mastery that humanity itself can hardly define.

Wondering whether you,
My love, deservingly earns the endearment or truly define the profound proximity of real love

I hope you are the one sitted in the back seat in the dark corner,
Listening to words I have written to you yet telling to strangers perhaps this way, you will come to me tonight a better man.

The man I fell in love with.

All the way in all the way

In all the way
I see it all the way

In every corner
The reflection captures my sight

In all the way
I see it all the way

In every step
It takes me back to the start

In all the way
I see it all the way

In every scar
I feel the pain of the fresh wound

In all the way
I see it all the way

In every move
I am still tied up to the past

In all the way
I see it all the way

In every freedom
I find myself trapped in boredom

In all the way
I see it all the way

In every light
I sense the darkened shadow alive.

In all the way
I see it all the way.

Little letter to the future me

Dear future
By the time you read this
I will be lagged in the past
I am sending this to you
With the hope that it finds you

Right now
As i am texting you
I also have a past..
That always lives me stranded

A past that i know
A past that was once a present
That i never forgot
That gave me a focus

Dear future
This little letter
Comes just as a reminder
To take you back

So that you never forget
And that you always remember
The you before the current you
And that you visualize
The you after the current you

Our motivation lives with us
We work hand in hand
They walk right beside us
We just hardly recognize them
With our little faith and little self trust.

So dear future..
I want you to the best
To conquer yourself
And face your fear
And be better than the past

I count on you
To be better than me
To bring the best
Out of you
.....

Yours
Iza ira

Story not to tell

         

As this is mine
Its a secret to release

When i am hurt
I lough too much
To avoid tears to fall
From my eyes

When i cry
I isolate myself
To hide what is to much
For self to sustain

When i am disappointed
I blame myself
For too much
I expected

When anger catches me
I dry my pillow
For i cant pull up
The fight

When i am weak
I remember that i live by my own
And That abandonment is what hosted me at first,and i strongly  lift myself up

When no one can hear me
I talk to myself,regardless of who is observing  and try to be my own friend..and it works

            .......Iza Ira......

THE ABANDON

Abandoned to die

life hosted me

Happiness liked me

and success adopted me

Where i shaded the desperate tears

in my heart nothing was worth a living

my wishes were to die 

i learned to live

Gathered by loneliness

Saturated by thoughts

desperate shadow sheltered me

i lived abandoned but not condamned

God was still there

In the fog of life

i couldn't see clearly

waiting for no hero

thought death was the release

i awaited

then after a hundred deaths

i just remembered that i was born alone

who ever comes before or after

will go and leave me as i had no one

when it all started

Gathering the broken pieces

rising myself up

while understanding the essence of life

silence directed my open ears

and the eyes followed the guiding light

as i noticed that the night is still young

to wait for miracles,measures were taken

Toiling was the motivation

Striving was the life companion

Excelling was the goal

My mission is not yet complete

new steps are loading

IRA IZA ALY

WITH THE POWER

 

 

The empty note was created

when all i got in my head

got disappeared by the power 

of poor meaning of what

 heart was feeling

As i couldn't cry

i thought the ink would be 

the fluid tears to ease my pain

and the paper be as the shoulder

 to  cry on 

by then i was captivated by darkness,

when i realized the tiny light 

i was holding on to

had life no more and that

 the little light i had

is letting me go

as well.

there then the question was

"what the redeemer am i waiting for?"

i need a word, but not just a word

a healing word

i need the power,

the real super power

the power to change the dark into light

and the tears into laughter

 

the power to unite not to tear apart

the power to make the change

the world needs

the power to understand and explain

The poor meaning  of what heart 

may fail to express.

 

I NEED THE POWER

IBYAWE RWANDA

Intaho ya mwimanyi ntiyimutse

ikivi cyabo cyaributswe

amateka matindi arubikwa

hubururwa umucyo maze utaha 

 iwacu kwa kanyarwanda

Intego zushijwe zisimbuzwa izindi

tuzi ubwenge twarize,ntitwaciwe imbere

ngo dusobanurirwe,amateka yacu

n amahanga,yaduhaye ubumenyi tugomba

ngo twige kandi tumenye.

Ndakubwira Rwanda

zita duhubanganya,aho ubusugire 

bwacu busigasira umutekano wa bene cyo

kuko aho twahoze turaharuzi

Abakuru bageze ibukuru

baratubwira natwe rubyiruko tuganayo

tugasobanurirwa ibitugize n'ibituranga

indangagaciro zacu tukazikomeraho

tukazikenyereraho nkumukanda

maze ibyawe Rwanda 

bigakura bida simbagurika.

Ndakuvuga imyato Rwanda

ahubwo numvikanisha ururkundo

n ishyaka nkufitiye nyaguhora

Ubwiza bwawe busibaganya

 ubuto bwawe maze ubuhanga bwawe

bukakurinda ishyanga ahubwo amashyo

akagusaga ugakura waguka

imisusire yawe igasasira rubanda..
