Loveless

 In shadows cast by scarcity's embrace,

The hearts of the less fortunate, a sacred space.

Yet love's ember flickers, undeterred by plight,

For it knows not boundaries, nor day nor night.

In humble homes where hardships reside,

Hope and connection forever do abide.

Though struggles may cloud their sunlit skies,

Love's beacon within them steadfastly lies.

From threadbare cloth to dreams so grand,

Two souls find solace, hand in hand.

For love, unbound by material decree,

Blooms in hearts yearning to be free.

Through trials and tribulations they wade,

Their bond an anchor, never to fade.

For love's pure essence, profound and deep,

In every heart, its secrets keep.

Economic bounds do not define,

The fervent love that intertwines.

In whispered words and tender touch,

Love's magic flourishes, oh so much.

So let us cast away this notion untrue,

That poverty can love's dreams subdue.

For in the hearts of all who seek,

Love finds a way, its truth to speak.

No money, no honey

 My Dearest Tate,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. As I sit here in Kenya, my thoughts often wander back to the times we shared, and I realize how much I've learned since then. Life has taught me that the barriers of poverty and poker-faced people can indeed cloud our paths to finding love and happiness.

Living through humble circumstances has shown me the struggles that can overshadow the pursuit of love. And as for those who hide their emotions behind poker faces, I've come to understand that opening one's heart requires vulnerability and authenticity, traits that aren't always easy to express.

Yet, despite these challenges, I find solace in the belief that all things shall come to pass by the mercies of God. We must hold onto hope and continue to strive for the love and connection we seek, knowing that our efforts and faith will ultimately guide us toward brighter days.

I hope this letter reaches you well, and I send my warmest regards across the distance that separates us. May your journey be filled with love, joy, and the blessings of a future that surpasses our current struggles.

Yours sincerely,

Baba Janire.

 With every dawn, your smile gleams bright,

A sunlit glow that fills my sight.

Your laughter dances on the breeze,

A melody that puts my heart at ease.

Your nose, a touch of perfect grace,

A sculpted work, an artful face.

A sparkling cosmos, a love affair.

They hold the secrets of galaxies above,

A universe of wonders, an endless love.

A love that makes my heart unbind.

Malaika

 In a world adorned with stardust’s grace,

I found an angel, my heart’s embrace.

Tate, your love a celestial symphony,

While I, a mere human, am blessed by thee.

With gossamer wings and a halo bright,

You soar through heavens, my guiding light.

Your tender care, a divine embrace,

Transforms my world to a sacred space.

In every step, you leave grace’s trace,

A seraph’s touch in life’s fast-paced race.

With kindness blooming, like flowers in May,

You light my path with love’s pure ray.

In your eyes, galaxies reside,

A universe of dreams, where hearts confide.

How could I, a simple soul, compare?

To your celestial beauty, rare and fair.

Yet, in this love, we find our place,

An angel’s heart, and human’s grace.

For, by your side, I learn to see,

The boundless love that sets me free.

So, let us dance in love’s sweet trance,

A timeless waltz, two souls enhance.

For in your arms, I feel I’m blessed,

By the angel’s love, my heart caressed.

Tate, my angel, in love we soar,

Your radiant light, I’ll forever adore.

Together we’ll write a tale of love,

A union divine, guided from above.

My anchor

 Tate, my love, you are my peace,

In your arms, all worries cease.

When life’s storms rage, you calm my soul,

With you, I’m complete and whole.

Your presence soothes my every fear,

With you, I find solace near.

In your smile, I see the light,

Guiding me through every night.

You’re the calm within my storm,

With you, I’m safe and warm.

In chaos, you’re my steady ground,

With you, love’s harmony is found.

When I’m lost, you lead me home,

In your love, I’ll never roam.

You’re the answer to my prayer,

A love so deep, beyond compare.

Tate, my love, you are my peace,

With you, life’s challenges decrease.

Hand in hand, we’ll face each day,

In your love, I’ll always stay.

Doubt

 Tate, my love, a confession I bear,

Inadequacy gnaws at me, I fear.

You shine so bright, an angel so rare,

I wonder if I’m worthy to share.

Your love, a gift, I can’t comprehend,

I see my flaws, and they won’t amend.

In your presence, I feel so small,

Afraid that I might let you down, enthrall.

Your kindness and grace, a beacon of light,

While I stumble in shadows, full of plight.

I question if I’m enough for you,

As doubts and insecurities brew.

Yet, you love me, flaws and all,

In your heart, I find a haven’s call.

With you, I feel safe, understood,

In your love, I find all that is good.

Tate, my love, you see me clear,

Through every doubt, you draw me near.

You deserve the world, it’s true,

But with all my heart, I vow to be true.

I may feel unworthy, deep inside,

But by your side, I’ll stand with pride.

For in your love, I’m learning to see,

That you chose me, 

and that’s all I need to be.

Tying the knot

 My beloved Tate, with each passing day,

My love for you grows in every way.

I yearn for the moment, so divine,

To call you mine, forever entwined.

I can’t wait to make you my wife,

To cherish you for all of life.

In your arms, I find my home,

A love so pure, forever to roam.

You’ll be the mother of our dreams,

Guiding our children, so it seems.

With you by my side, we’ll build a nest,

A family bound, forever blessed.

Your love, a beacon, shines so bright,

I’m grateful for you, day and night.

Together, we’ll create a life anew,

With joy and love that’s boundless and true.

The thought of our future fills me with glee,

To walk hand in hand, just you and me.

You’re the one I’ve been waiting for,

Together, our hearts will soar.

Tate, my love, you complete my soul,

With you, my heart is finally whole.

I can’t wait for the day, my dear,

To wive you and hold you near.
