DREAM WEDDING

Clinking, tinkling glasses. 

Aromatic whiffs of fragrances, so delicious, that with every breath, you’re drawn closer to a welcome drunkenness.

Soft, graceful butter-yellow whispers of light, bouncing off of creams, pinks, golds, a scarlet, a sky here and there.

A beam of teeth. A bridge of teeth.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

They say “Blood is thicker than water”

Others passionately say with dignity “This is my blood, my family”

She agrees with all these theories but her little quota and legacy is that “we are all children of Adam and Eve and we are family”

She continues to say names are just words, if you do not have her surname does not mean you are not her child.

THE MEN WE MARRY

BIGGA BREAKFAST

Always staring at the door

Even in my slumber, my eyes are widely open and ears are very sensitive, anxious to rush to that door and get that warmth welcome and kiss from my man.

I sleep walk to check if the fire is ablaze, water in the pot is enough for his bath and his food is safe from rodents.

I wake up to prepare his breakfast and pack his bag before the first preacher’s siren is heard.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

On this Day, let it be noted that i respect you. let it be noted that i admire you.
May you never know pain or sorrow in my arms.
