Lovers Voyage
(A Short Love Poem and Lovers Poem by Injete Chesoni)
~~~~~~~
The voyage started off calm and peaceful
And gently we drifted along
As we sailed further out
A storm started brewing
And rapidly we lost all control
~~~~~~~
Swept by the waves of passion
We were helpless in the storm
Two self-less bodies together
Making a new form
~~~~~~~
When the storm was over
We gently drifted apart
And then we came back together
Joined at the heart

Separation: A Sad Love Poem by Injete Chesoni

Separation: Figure Art Work by Injete Chesoni

Separation
(A Sad Love Poem by Injete Chesoni)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The things we do
to each other in the name of self-preservation
That lead to gulfs of separation
which cannot be sealed
Even by the glue of our love for each other.

`````````
We claim we are in love
But the things we do in the name of love
Make me wonder
Are we more in love with ourselves
Than we are with each other.

Mystery in Old Town Mombasa
(Scary Poems by Injete Chesoni)
```````````````
She had an air of mystery about her
as she sat in the window and stared
I was walking in Old Town Mombasa
and I remembered what they said
That ghosts haunt this town
and things are not always what they seem
There are genies dressed up as cats
and men in women’s bui-buis
So I stared in her eyes and scurried
Even as my mind paused to think
Was she really a woman in clothing
Or a supernatural being

Devil in A Red Dress
(A Poem on Seduction by Injete Chesoni)
~~~~~~~
Her hair entices you.
Her hips seduce you.
Her backside confuses you.
Her sway draws you.
~~~
When you walk with her you walk in fields of fire.
When you lay with her the flames lick your body.
When you join with her you are left a pile of ash.

On The Eve of Change
(A Marriage Poem and Life Change Poem by Injete Chesoni)
~~~~~~~
I sit here knowing, I am a step away
from changing my life forever.
I ask myself am I ready,
to leave all that I have known behind,
and forge into the future.
I ask am I ready,
to throw all caution to the wind,
and entwine my life so closely with that of another.
I begin to hesitate
and on the eve of change,
I want to hold time still for a moment.
I cannot go back,
but I am so afraid to go forward.
Yet, I know that time will not wait for me.
And on the eve of change I realize
I must move forward with time,
or time will leave me behind.
