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.

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.

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.
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)
