Anitah Muwanguzi Poems

Quietly you roar! Desperately you moan

You stand tall as the Kilimanjaro
...

Thunder, the sound of it

lightning, the vision of you
...

my two- faced tongue rammed a fist in my gut today

got away from me and I never stood a chance
...

If something good can come from bad,

the past can rest in peace.
...

Heaven is silent

the rush of poetry stemmed
...

I happened upon him

A consequence, an unexpected unwanted surprise
...

Fingers to lips

still alive but barely breathing
...

My frenzied blood waxed molten to ice,
heart melted to stone.
Fear was forgotten,
as her screams stirred the heavens-
...

Let's go to the place-
where flowers don't wither and die but live forever
and when we ride the peak of sun-
our passions don't scorch us to extinction
...

Words are daggers in your hands

So I ask no questions
...
