In the middle of nowhere

I'm here relaxed on my bed, trying to squeeze out the inspiration to write out of my right hand. No cat seems to be really wanting to be let out of the bag, with this weather, expect anything. Then all of a sudden, a WhatsApp message pops up and guess its from who? Yes, Nicki, you got it right this time.

So apparently she moved on, yes, just like that. I know I left informing you on the third day, life has to really move on and surprise is the fuel of life.

What made us part ways? You ask, nothing really, we all just got tired of texting and meeting unplanned in our different rooms, the strike also played an important role in signing our divorce papers. Personally, that was my key defence.

Back to the text, she tries to ask for my identity ironically in the pretence that she was "taught Nairobi" a common slang to mean being robbed in the Capital. After a consuming mental debate, I tell her my name,she heyyyyyyyys me and asks how I am coping with the Uhuru led administration having been a staunch supporter of Baba. All is well, I tell her, thanks to the handshake.

After monitoring our chat and seeing it leading  nowhere, I ask jaber if she still finds pleasure in burning incense like the high priest. Old habits die hard, she agrees and even suggests for a meet up session at my place and walk down the memory lane.

Am I accepting a meet up with my ex? Is it among the many unwritten dating rules? Find out  what happens by keeping it Doluh.

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...

Please Get Tired.

I write, You notice, You assume, I get disconnected And curse. " It's hard to show love to a stone" of no worth it is  making love to a marble, Shinny and elegant, Only adapting to the degree of my loving when in the same room And nothing is the same when we hug and part ways. I write You marvel Share it to friends And say "That was master class" You find it hard to read between the lines. Not born for the art, so you wont relate Our connection is relative, Like an uncle to a niece It's hi when we meet and high time when we don't. I notice You care less I get disconnected I miss her But who listens? I refuse to build a foundation on a forced connection I don't want to end up losing myself when you finally slip away like she did. Please get tired, and let me try to win her love back. I write Get tired And hope That if tomorrow ever comes with the darkness it left with, Then I would sit and wait for her to come aroun...
