MOON SHADOW


 

I got home to find a letter that she wrote

Said she’s tired, am always on the road

She needs a lover somebody she can hold

She had been enough of a pillar

She can no longer be the love at home

Waiting for me and my bags to come

Clean us off the entire blemish we collect on the way

 

I swear I love her didn’t mean to hurt her

She must have told me a thousand times before

To try less gifts and wrap her in kisses

There is only so much warmth that the coats and perfumes can give

There isn’t much she can share on a ‘how was your day conversation’ on the phone

I know she deserves much than what I give

I forgot loving her was my main goal

Forgot I promised her a home with me and babies

Forgot she too had dreams to live

She should be the center of my world

But other passions seem to succeed

 

I cried on the short paragraphs

Knew then that nothing matters more than her

So I will be here

This time I will be the one waiting on you to come home

I will warm our bed until you find your way back

Hoping my deeds before will light your way

Show you that bedroom purple light that I will never turn off

If you are lost, look around for a purple illumination

That’s where I will be trying to fix your coffee

Wash away the cold of the world

Welcome you home where I shall always be waiting.

POLLS!

hehehehehe It is disrespectful and silly of me to have such lovely people reading and take so long to write. So this shall be me paying up my dues….(30mins later) Now I have started writing this blog thrice and I give myself an excuse of why I should not make ‘that’ a public reading when I start. Making it obvious that I have been having so much trouble writing simply because that voice in my head (I got a few too many) can’t stop giving me excuses on why not. So we shall work with me writing about whatsoever I wanna write about and you reading only what holds your interests (like when was it not, some may ask?). Let’s give the lesbians a break and focus on a little bit more than me trying to impose my ideas, beliefs or lack there off in most cases on them. So today I shall speak of something that I think is imperative for all LGBTI persons in our country to think through.      Here we have Kenya going to the polls in the next few months and the public joins hands to ensu

My body called you this morning, I woke to a room full of breathe and I swear, I tasted your scent in my mouth.  My eyes were blurred by the gifts of your form And my cheeks, fully stretched. You know how I can't draw a cup, right? My fingers had written in hieroglyphs Each of my fantasies all over the sheet and each period was you.  You once called me a performer, And all I heard was the only audience I needed.  Last month I didn't dial your number once And I haven't read any Art of war that prepared me for that.  I don't smile each morning lately and my demons are seated on each face I meet, But your smile in my memories cleanses me enough to still catch some sleep I had a difficult night at the bar yesternight. But the 5 minutes I spent On the spot you once placed your beer And with entitlement you inquired 'Why don't I love you anymore?' Washed it all away. I don't remember my deeply thought through well structured answer, But I

WHO RUN THE WORLD???

GAYS!! So I did it again...running my mouth, in this case my fingers got me blogging right now when my time would be so awesomely divided in my work. Its started today in the morning when I got a text from my boss that Kiss FM just advertised the Programs Coordinator vacancy we have at The Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya where I work as the Research officer. Yes! earthlings, I work with them.  The first mistake that heterosexuals make is starting any statement with the 'THEM' word. Early in the week I was in a panel conducting interviews and some guy kept saying THEM while referring to the LGBTI (Lesbian, Gays, Bi-sexuals, Transgender and Intersex) for those of you who need the basics.  My morning got wayyyyyy more interesting when I got to work and checked out Caroline Mutoko's update that was actually a job advert for the position. So we have at this time over six hundred comments on the update in the following categories 1. Homophobes throwing their
