Embers Of Love
Alex Wafula 2006 (Nairobi)
Like how fire consumes the forest
Starting from one leaf to the next nearest
Soon, it suddenly consumes the rest
And consumption wave forms the crest
Attention captured at first glance
Waited for the next meet by chance
Sieged at next meet and lost balance
Completely captured by your dance
Your first words brought light
Directing to my heart a spark of delight
Eliminating spot of unfamiliarity fright
And love held my heart tight
In love,like in water, I sank deep down
As I try swimming in it to and from town
Instantly making me begin to drown
Though at time it brings me back to crown
