MY ALL II

“I now happily pronounce you husband, and wife. You many now kiss the bride.” A feeling of warmth spread over my my heart as I watched the happiness in Emery’s eyes. She had found happiness. We all had. In one way or another. I would be lying if I said it was easy, but the […]

MY ALL.

“I’ll try not to let this happen again.” “You’ll try?” “It won’t happen again.” “It better not, because next time, you’re going to be fired. There are very many people out there, far more qualified than you are that need this job. Don’t make me give it to them.” He told me, acid saturated in […]

VISITOR VISITOR II

Sin was ever so enticing… It’s Sunday. Another Sunday. Just like yesterday was another Saturday. If my loneliness doesn’t kill me first, then this monotony sure will. A sly laugh escapes my lips. It’s funny that I’d rather blame my frustration on the conventional sequence of days than face what’s really eating me up… A […]

IN THE DARK OF NIGHT.

I saw her sitting by the street. One shoe off… Toes poking at the pavement… Eyes forlorn and downcast… A vast emptiness playing between her eyelids… It’s 6.57pm. She takes out a notebook… A pink diary, if I may add. She scribbles two… Three words. She stops. Closes the book. Tears… They play on her […]

FEELings of GOLD.

And a number of times I’ve thought of him when young… Little thin brown feet, running on the sunny beach… Cute little brown toes sinking into the warm sand… Pink lips… He’s shy… He gets hurt but swallows the pain… Perhaps the shame too? He’s quiet and pouty in a corner… Aaaaaaww… Look at him… […]

DO YOU FEEL ME?

Do you feel me When I lay by the window at night And stare out Into the darkness, And as the wind blows cold on my face All I can think of Is how Like the stars glow in the blackness My love glows for you Despite your darkness. • Do you feel me When […]

OFF THE PRIMROSE PATH

Its Friday 18th August. Date two. I quietly scroll through my phone on the escalator. I hate lifts. They’re quiet and boring and have a thick warmth I dislike. I like it better here, in between the hustle and bustle of strangers in a hurry, couples in love holding hands, with stars in their eyes, […]

VISITOR.VISITOR.

Ntapitia apo kwa Cliff, nichukue movie, ninunue avocado… “Hi.” a sweet feminine voice breaks my chain of plan as I shuffle out of class. Damn… She’s short, light skinned and thick… I mean thick… Like porridge. Or nutella. Or honey when it’s raw. “Hi.” I return the greeting to the owner. “Uuuummmh… My name’s Tracy… […]

New Begginings

I look at my watch after taking my seat. For the first time I’m on time. He should actually give me props for this. It’s smells nice here… Like bacon… And fries… Oh. I’m on a date. Village market. This place actually reminds me of bowling… Hi Kamwaro. I’m wearing a cream dress with two […]
