Poe-Ahh-Tree
Who Am I? Just a woman falling madly, deeply, truly in love with life. A poet/writer having a wild affair with words. A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

Kupenda
By:Haki Madhubuti
Lips like yours
ought to be worshipped
See, i aint never been
too religious
but you can baptize me
anytime
**** One of my all-time favorite poems by one of my all-time favorite poets. Mmmmm… Kinda reminds me of this poem by yours truly…****
untitled
while my thoughts skirt the edges of sacrilege,
i will not label you religion
for that is too bold
though your name falls from my lips
like pent-up prayers.

Nice and to the point, and melodious, too.
Thank you.
“Kupenda” means “To Love” in swahili. And what a beautiful Shairi (poem). Naipenda pia (I love it too!).
Thanks Wambui - I meant to put the translation for “Kupenda” in there. It is beautiful, isn’t it? Short, sweet & full of images.
I love it, too! It’s short, vividly clear and to the point.
Ain’t it though? LOL
Uh huh! You know you’re going to have to grace us with one of your poems!
Um, that is mine at the end. Greedy Girl!
