Love; who are you?


Hello love,
Talk to me and don't give me that look on your eyes.
Could you listen to me this one last time?
So Love, let me ask too, what is your Résumé? Apart from making my heart desires what else do you do?

Like, do you cycle on Saturdays?  Are you a fan of coffee? Talk to me, let the answers reach me for I thought I knew you Love until I met her. Her that does me very differently, see its half past one and she is the only one gracing my mind.

I know you know her by name. For me Sincerely, I really don't know much but I know she can dance, write and act so well. Love, why do I keep falling in love with the theatre? Is there an operation coming my way,?

You talk of coming with butterflies that fill the stomach, then why am I always hungry for her? You boast of making time freeze in ice, but why do Sweat invade my pores anytime our debates get so heated?

Love, are you a scam? Do you  deal with second hand stuff, for I have been having numerous second thoughts lately. I thought I knew you love, I thought you are the greatest commandment.

Tell me about you, your modus operandi. How do you get things done? Why do you keep coming through the backdoor? Aren't you a visitor in these ruins of mine?

Lastly,
Love if she is the one for me, then prepare a space for two, you know am a Naiboi and all that I want is for her to be my formulae

EVERY LIGHT HAS ITS SEASON.

A constant battle exists between wanting to be real and wanting to be right. Sometimes what is real is not perceived as right, and what is right is not always real. Realness is rare. It is often hidden in authentic wrongs that, if not carefully understood, may never be seen in the light of what is right. This is why excellence can emerge from unlikely places, yet disappear before it is ever recognized. Too often, potential is judged before it is nurtured. Senior leaders should guard against micromanagement. Leadership should cultivate, not suffocate. Not every strength resembles your own, and not every path to excellence mirrors the one you took. Just because your sun brings you light does not make my moon and stars any less significant. The sun rules the day, but when night comes, it is absent. Then the moon and the stars become indispensable. Great leadership recognizes that every light has its season, and possesses the wisdom to let each one shine. The wise never dismiss the sun bec...

Artful Deception.

That morning, I stood rooted to the tiled floor with my hands on the poorly done window grills. I had been examining the structure that we called home. The Sun was lazy, casting weak monotonous rays on the ground. It had sufficiently rained the previous night and the air was still fresh.  Since my childhood, I had enjoyed the petrichor, it had a way of pumping life into my dead hopes, and couldn't wait for a few droplets of rain to hit the ground. It was a moment I always craved for. Half past seven in the morning, if not for the birds chirping so melodiously I wouldn't have travelled back to reality. "Normal is boring." I said to myself reaching for my phone that was religiously playing my favorite Bob Marley playlist. Nobody can stop reggae. The tweets that day were not as snappy as I would have wanted. Something was eating me up but still I couldn't figure it out, at least not at a time when Bob was reassuring that things would be alright. Music to me had alway...

SAVE THIS FOR MY LAST

When one day you all wake up, just to find me deep in my sleep, please know that something is amis. When one day from your duties you log in just to see my last seen as 3 hours ago then know I breathed my last and I am gone for good. We all fear death, personally It robbed me a lifeline, and its only today that I got the power to speak. On the night of world poetry day, the 21st of March after words of encouragement from people like you, I lay on bed to rest only for mum to call and this time, not the usual "umenitupa" type of greetings. She was crying, she had lost her best friend, her younger sister who I always referred to as my elder sister. How a day can turn from a hundred to zero real quick, I was shaken to a point that I never shed a tear, and until now I can only afford goosebumps when I think of that day. So when I say bye to the world, please play me some reggae music, a chronixx playlist would serve the old men, and the night before you lay me down six feet, pl...
