this feeling!!

I dont want to succumb to the feeling of love
Because am fragile like a dove
Am not sure what am feeling is enough
Sometimes i want to laugh
Especially when she thinks am a bluff
But at the end of the day she is in my trough
Looking at her she is the only one "i have"

free my mind- tonny kitema

Just like the plain field,

How I wish my mind could be,

But I keep on wondering deep in thoughts,

Trying to find a way out,

Am a prisoner of myself

Maybe I should be free,

Like the bird on top of that tree,

But I have problems one, two, three,

The list is endless,

My mind is restless

Today I want to be free!

Not anything to bother me,

With pen and paper to write poetry,

Although can’t be on top of the tree I will sit under it quietly,

Listening to chirps of birds and free my mind silently
