Mojito Makes Me Cry

When he died, how was that for you? I asked, feeling somewhat emotional. Sharlene’s eye bags were beginning to swell. Sharlene is this girl who, after she read Milkah's story here https://wanjikuthewriter.com/2022/11/21/double-daddy-issues/ she sent me an email, that read, “Foretaste: There will be suffering before we attain glory……” it sounded to me like a verse …

They Are Low Lying Extroverts

First of all, I want to apologize for delaying our wine. I should have served it on Monday. I know! But then, our country Kenya, was in the mood for celebration. We have sustained 59years of freedom and that is momentous. Even though we cannot boast of total freedom, I do believe we are not …

Love over Fear

Hey guys! Would lend me your ears a minute. No, three, at most. Okay? Ok! So, is there anyone in this room who does not appreciate the magical feeling of being in love? Anyone? Love, God’s gift to humanity, is a cake, your flavor of choice, so sweet that everyone wants to partake, right? We …

Double Daddy Issues

Tough as it may. Kileleshwa is quiet. Not as quiet as it were a decade ago, but yeah, it's quiet. Like a woman on the first day and a half after she’s married. She cooks and cleans with some gentle silence, dressed in her man’s baggy shirts and boxers, making all humble gestures that no …

I Can Fall For You Forever.

In the midst of the darkness that covers love,a darkness so black,blacker than the fiery Africa's slaves,I thank the nature of heart.It loves and believes even in it's brokenness.Mine, finds pleasure in loving you.I can fall for you forever. Meeting you was like...like listening to John Legend's Nervous,for the first time and knowing it would …

Je t’aime

It's those big arms that press my head to your chest I love to write about Katerina. Because she doesn't mind that I write about her or that I use her real name. It's not often we find friends who allow us to write about them and so when we do, we are cautious to …

Un-cry My Tears

What If; So what if I still check under my bed? Before getting into bed; my bed that lacks warmth, At mid night, Just in case the thief sneaked in through the cracks, Only for him to wake me before the crack of dawn, Just when sleep could no more shun my yawn, Just when …
