Gotta Let You Go Because I Love You

By -
Too much hatred in love
and my heart can’t take it no more
Too much fighting
I’m too weak to fight any more
Relationships break too soon
Marriages don’t last
I don’t know how we came to this
Tell me how did this happen
Babe we can’t work it out:

Too much confusion
and I don’t know which way to go
Too much distance
and I can’t catch up no more
The fire gone too soon
Lovers no longer love
I don’t know how to fix it
Tell me how did this happen
Babe we can’t work it out:

Ex-wife
Ex-girlfriend
Ex-lover
Tell me how did this happen
We can’t work it out
You want the easy way out—

But I know if I love you the way I say I do
I’d give you what you’re asking for

O No, but yes
I gotta give you what you asking for
‘Coz I love you.

Intimate Partner Violence (Retribution)

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. There seems to be a silent revolution that would end the age-old reign of man. Women are infiltrating, conquering and dominating where man has boasted the sole leadership and command since time immemorial, and are doing better. Why this sudden upheaval? The woman is empowered to the hilt, and the male species is losing it. Gone are the days when alcohol-acquired-machismo was revered by the ladies and thence the sisters (who’ve been in distress for eons) have taken the reins – from bedroom to work place.                       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

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. It was done Just like that, She keeps me on the loop Still sends those messages That she still loves me I wish I could change everything To another time! I lack the words What do I tell her then? 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.

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)

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. Upon us was the moment of partying— my heart cracked. “I will come for you, my moon,” I said. “I will get you away from your Imam father Even Allah.” “Goodbye, my love I cannot help you with my love. Forget, my love I love you more than life itself.” She shimmered away— And I was alone.
