THE HUNTING SOUVENIR

When was the last time

                        i had you?                      

                       It's hunting                   

                     chasing                      

running into my mind

reminding,recalling    

all that it used to be.   .

......

It hurts

it bleeds

it kills 

When you know

you lost it forever 

but your heart

still yearns

for it

...

  That moment

that never fade

that last forever

even when

time passes

.....

Technically

laying in the past

Basically

living the current

Eventually

attached to you

......

When eyes shade tears

Know that soul is screaming

and heart is broken

........

HE TOLD ME

Your eyes

                    will shade tears

Blood       

                    will flow out of

           your vain

You'll live

              under sweat

           not sweet

         You will scream   

                 echoes will 

                                hold back your voice

The sun         

            will rise

                         and sets on you

You will see    

                           the world turning

                      all around you

You will notice  

                          the time rushing 

                              and you left behind

                    standing still

There will be      

                              no direction for you

                             you will be having

              no escape

     You will forget           

                             all about your dues

                                     and the worst will cross

               your mind

By then remember  

                                          that I never left you............

                            JESUS TOLD ME.

TEARS 0F THE POETESS

   When they lough

    never there teeth appears

When they cry

never there tears drop

            When they are happy

                      no reflection of happiness               

       in their faces                    

What they are

  no one can guess.       

       Touring their mind

you get held in a trap     

         So resilient they are

to know they real status

         Not rude to anyone

    for them all are equal       

      Their best friend

so rare to recognize . 

  They take caution

everyone like them      

                To reveal their secret        

    no one is trustworthy     

Their feelings   

  are wide open             

Their thought   

are not far to find.      

   The one and only

best friend i know    

         The partner in crime

I can guess             

                          The only nurse of their wound

I feel                     

                                   The location of their heart                

I can tell  .             

              

                     Find out their real world

   through their writings

                              Remove out their camouflage

      the dwell of their secret

                         the silent diary of their life

                         The hidden deeper meaning

           of their words,their poems

                                  the great deeds of their writings

Their real feelings

                             whether happy or sorrowful

              are found in only and only

       place which is

                        The work  of their hands

         the focus of their mind

                      through their poems....

I STILL LOVE YOU

Read me

I speak about you,

You in adversity

and you in opprobrium

I know you more

More than you know

Believe me

i know i do,

Only because

My heart beats

for you..

I still love you.

                                       UMWALI ALICE IZA

MY TESTIMONY

I speak

out of pride

as i got a prize

not fought for

it's a heaven sent.

With much love

I am so committed

No much to offer

As i got it all.

Self belonging

I yearn for nothing.

Nothing like a family

I confess.

Ignore because 

you are surrounded

You wouldn't notice

If you are not loved 

and cared for.

Not only related

by blood but

Anyone who got

his eyes on

to back you up.

You shouldn't take it

for granted,

it's a prize

 sent from heaven.

a guardian angel.

to love,To protect,

to care.

                                             UMWALI ALICE IZA

THE AGE OF ADDICTION

I couldn't tell

but time did

I saw it born

never noticed

it growing..

My ignorance

kept it easy

Life made it harder

in a blink of eye

I never realized

The age of addiction

replacing dignity

to the thrown..

                                               UMWALI ALICE IZA

HUG

A shelter

for hopeless

A shoulder 

to cry on

Dwell

of comfort

Island

of hidden feelings

Definition

of affection

Hug

sparkles love

care and comfort.

                                            UMWALI ALICE IZA

AFRO GIRL

My reflection

My definition

Don't go deep

I am wide

Try to dive

You ll be drowning

Think you know me

You are wrong

Out of my outfit

I am somebody else

Neat look

Clear mind

I fit everywhere

I am an Afro girl.

                                                        UMWALI ALICE IZA.

I LOVE MY CULTURE

My self description

My personality

My definition 

My dignity

My me.

My all of me

My motivation

My ability 

My culture

My love

My responsibility.

UMWALI ALICE IZA

I LIVE IN LOVE

If it wasn't you

where would i be?

If it wasn't you

It wouldn't make

sense

You give my hope

the reason,

My belief lives

for real

For you are 

alive in me.

When i cry

I always know

It's not the end

For It was all

redeemed by

You

Where my 

expectation 

disappointed,You  

backed me up

with a single word.

You feed my life

with light

Darkness never

finds me

I live in LOVE

I know i do

since you do

Live in me

River of love

flowing in me 

Mighty God in me

I am the legend.

YOU...

You......

                     I had you once

                              and 

              I lost you

                                 as if

                     I never had you.

You...

           are you

                              who i lost

                     was it a dream

                       or

                              unbearable reality.

                                                                          UMWALI ALICE IZA

Hope Springs Eternal

My past was bad

but i wanted to pass

There was no hope

but i was happy

Thoughts were many

and days were sunny,

Life was ridiculous

but i hoped for marvelous,

Faith kept me strong

and courage led me

forward,

Belief hold my hand

spot lighter guided my feet

Victorious never quit

There is no turning back

the better is ahead.

LIFE

LIFE

The deception of friends

the frustration of life

The affection of mother

the admiration of God

The obsession of wealth

The anticipation of success

        Many are there

                             the setbacks and challenges

                                     to shape self into something new

          Self Innovation 

                is an other journey

       to walk.call it

     Life touring

                    Medallion is earned

                   Pride worth a fight

             Name yourself,

                    Conqueror is a hero.

                      Better life is a choice.

                   Strive for perfection

                                Better life worth a sacrifice,

                             you hold it in your hand,

            I mean LIFE.

IT,S A HALF LIFE

IT'S A HALF LIFE

Double life

does happen

the real me,

is known

by self

my real status

nobody knows

but my shadow

spending

the day laughing

and the rest of night

crying

IT's a half life

living to pretend

for me to fit in

Our eyes

are deprived

of shading tears '

for some it's a defeat

 for  me it's a relief.

don't want

 to be despised

making the better

difference is a crime

 and

That's a half life.

Self is fading

nobody wants to fight

when am i going

to live as me

and only me?

Sick and tired 

but what should i do?

pleasing others

kills self

and the sacrifice

 it doesn't worthy

Taking a risk

is the first step,

facing the world

is new discoveries,

and self conquor

is the best challenge.

I choose to live.
