Lost With You
Without you -
I am lost in this dark alley
this valley
Of tears;
But there's no one
I'd rather be lost with.

No More Love
“I hope I don’t see you again,” I told her that plain. She wanted me to stay Yet I walked away Never looked back, Not her way anyway, Did not want to see the pain I knew was in her eyes.

My heart’s forgotten to love She can’t understand more Than that she does love me, I don’t want to lie to her, Pretend I know love anymore I just lost the feeling Not for her Not for anyone Dunno know what I gonna do for her.

In a world where patriarchate is heritage nothing has been left to chance about the male dominance – man is the head, and woman the neck. Nevertheless, the recent attacks on men from a particular place in Kenya (classified stuff) by their women have raised alarm on the God-given place of man.

It is no longer the duty of wives to wash their husband’s feet when he arrives from a journey; the washing machine does the laundry and, poo
Cracked Hearts
The last time I saw Maimun words poured out of me like water squeezed from a sponge. She covered my mouth with hers as if to swallow a terrible curse that would come back to afflict us. “Forget us, forget me,” she said.

Forget, my love I love you more than life itself.” She shimmered away— And I was alone.
You Were Mine
pinterest You’re light, the kind that came in through a crack on the wall. You’re hope, the kind that hung around when all was gone. I was happy, the kind that you knew was somewhere deep within, even though you didn’t feel it then. You’re mine, the kind that I wasn’t supposed to keep but knew I would never leave. I was the one you never wanted to be with. (A pastiche adopted from A Curve of Darkness by Munira Hussein)
