THE MONSTER OF MY DREAM

See, this is what happened-
When we met,
At the site, me doing my daily drudgery,
You making meals at the eatery,
Yes, I thought you were the girl of my dreams,
Infact I did tell you that,
And the blush of your cheeks is quite vivid still.
Now, its not that I lied,
I just spoke the truth at that instant
But today, girl, I have a confession:
Last night, I had a dream-
I rarely dream you see, so yes,
When I told you you were the girl of my dreams,
I wasn't being honest.
I didn't lie,
But it wasn't true much.
It was strange that dreams can be so contradictory.
Let me let you go, my beautiful,
Let me spare you my troubles, my pretty.
I thought you were the girl of my dreams,
But in my dream, was me and a monster,
And you, my dear are not a monster.

WHY DO WE CHEAT IN RELATIONSHIPS?

Image
So goes the million dollar question. But is the question as complex as we make it or is it so easy to answer that we would rather not admit it? With the rise in HIV infections in marriages, most of us have really found a legitimate ground to question the sanity of marriage. With more people in the life-long commitment getting into the mpango wa kando (clandestine relationships) phenomenon, it seems as though getting married now acts as a front to hide the cesspit of sexual decadence many would wish to keep secret. But why? Why would we commit to someone only to turn on them faster than Flash on a free ride down a slope? How bad could they have gotten since the first time we saw them? 'Relationship experts' have tried answering the question so many times but it seems they too perhaps think too much. For anyone who has ever been in a relationship, one can attest that when caught eating from the wrong plate, there is no shortage of a myriad of reasons. My spouse didn't do th

A LETTER TO MY DEAR GOVERNMENT

DEAR GOVERNMENT, It hasn't escaped my attention that a lot of make-up work is going on on our roads (a good thing),neither has it escaped my attention that said make-up takes place in the rush hour of the morning (a very bad thing). And, to add to my list of 'not-escaping-attention stuff', is the fact that these repair works are coinciding with the hyped second coming of Big bro Barry(honestly, I don't know what to make of that). Now, dear government, there is nothing as refreshing and relieving as seeing that huge crater that once swallowed a Vitz getting kicked on its deep ball by some good repair work. However, I pose - does it have to be in the morning?  I believe most road construction take place in the night, or, you know at a less busy time of day (so basically night). Sure I know you want us to see the good job being done, but guess what? We don't want to see it being done. We just want to be like,"Hey the roads are less jumpy today. I wonder whats w

THE COLLOSUS HAS FALLEN

The sun is scarred, The moon injured, And in the dead of night, The collosus has fallen. Grief knows no bounds, Sorrow and melancholy abound, As dreams morph to nightmares, The collosus has fallen. Woods a shade of death, Black promises thus evil uncouth, And when life shifts to grey from mirth, The collosus has fallen. Broken glass,dull brass, Soiled trophies,ugly hats, White skin,pale shadows, The collosus has fallen. Eyes that see in darkness, Darkness guides the eyes, Light submits to the blank stare, The collosus has fallen. Illness and health, Penury and wealth, The shade and the light, Like days of night, Of shadows and their masters, The dry lands and deep blue seas, The earth and the sky, Frowned upon by the moon and the sun, The collosus has fallen. Fat wallets,empty pockets, Misery and its contrasting equivalent, Of the mysteries of life, And the joy of belief, A lack of faith, And fulfillment of achievement, The making of a legacy, The co
