NUGGETS OF LOVE

By Abigael Jepng'etich, Form 1 East

Love is a universal migraine

A bright stain blurring the vision

Blotting out sense and reason


Such are the symptoms of true love;

Leanness, jealousy, laggardness in thought.

Sweet omens and nightmares.

Listening for a knock, waiting for  a sign .

 


For a touch of her fingers, in a darkened room,

For a searching look, take courage lover,

Could you endure such pain at hand?

Na Michele Jebet, Kidato Cha Tatu  Kilio changu hakika, kitafika mwisho lini? Hakika kimeshindika, nitalia hadi lini?

MSENA WANGU

Na Michele Jebet;  Kidato cha tatu Mwenzangu wewe hakika, namwaga jamani mtama, Kilio changu hakika, miye nimeshika tama, Hakika mi nimechoka, maisha ya kusoma, Msena wangu sikia, nikububujie sasa.   Msena wangu kuna nini, mbona we huna amani? Tena ku’ nini, shuleni, kisichokupa amani? Na kama ni masomoni, tuungane si jamani. Niambiye msena basi, kukufaidi miye niko.   Sii kitabu menikera, kusoma nafurahia, Si vyakula menikera, navifurahia pia, Ni mengi yamenikera,  miye nakububujia, Msena wangu sikia, nikububujie sasa.   Mwenzangu nambiye basi, ni nani wakukerao? Je ni mwanafunzi basi, darasani mlio nao, Ama ni walimu basi, lakini wema hao, Niambiye msena basi, kukufaidi miye niko.   Sahibu mi’ nashahidi, shule lako nalo duni, Kuhama mi’ naahidi, kukaa hapa duni Shuleni kwako baridi, kuhama  mi naamini, Msena wangu sikia, nikububujie sasa.   Sahaba ku’ nini tena, niambiye nikariri, Hapana cha kununua, kila kitu ki shwari, Kokoto duniani na, shule...
