THE UNTOUCHABLE BOY IN CLASS Momentarily starstruck!  I grabbed a stool, Gulped a drink, and opened my eyes wider! I had the feeling I get when I read a well written line!  To close the book,stare at the wall and let it sink in! He was standing there! At a close range!!! The untouchable boy in class. His confidence magnetic, His smile  charming , His cologne giving me infinite  reasons to drown myself in his perfume bottle, His voice making my goosebumps orgasm, His wink awakened the exotic butterflies within me,  His gait  depicted a touch of class ,with a drop of sophistication embedded in royal essence.  All I asked God is to bless the ground beneath his feet!   I know he ain't the Centre of the universe,  But he keeps spinning me like one  I am his number one fan, His posters are on the wall inside my head, The little spart of emotions I felt keep brawling to a star. He literally swept me off my feet!   Too bad I couldn't fall o...

SERIKALI TAFADHALI SAIDIA I am not inhuman Neither am I a renegade But my thoughts maybe inhuman I seek not  defend  them Though maybe they need my defense As I may get stoned.   "Serikali nisaidie!" That's a cliché in my mother land, Choosing not to fix broken bridges As the children swim across swollen river to quench academic thirst All I can think of is disposal to Bilharzia or pneumonia. Doesn't it scare you,my country people? That they could be attacked by the  inhabitants of the water?   When the media reports .. All the villagers say is 'Serikali tafadhali saidia' How hard is to put planks of wood to use to cross over???     When harvest is  bumper, Farmers feast with their families, They sell part of it. When their is food shortage in the country, They yell out ' Serikali  tafadhali saidia' Does the government grow crops? Can't the farmers store ' emergency food' in the granary? ? Can't they use the ...

HEARING GOD Confusion was written all over my face, Being on that podium made my life memories flash in my head, Why on earth doesn't anyone  listen to me?? And why from heaven messages I can not perceive? Why do they behave like I am mist on a sunny day?? And I on earth an invincible island? In that moment,the harsh reality hit me!!! *Do I really listen from heaven?* When and why does heavens speak??? Does God then reveal his nature?  Will I understand His will in my life then?? How does God speak? Is it a soft whisper? If so I miss it as am never attentive, How does he even sound like? Does he have a base or an alto?  What if it's a magical tenor?  Does he use my friends and family Familiar to me they are,  If they the vessel ,their voice I never head,  Am strongly caged to the assumption they can't be used on me. Pre emptive that is, But I miss the point of their speech Then it dawned to me! I need my inner ears opened! So I can listen when God speaks, N...

so my therapist asked me, 'What are you thinking?  Do you wanna talk or write?' Staring at the blank page,  Lost in the warm tea, My mind wandered to the last thing I will ever write! My suicide note!! I am a disappointing daughter, Prolly not as neat and fast in the kitchen, Prolly with no chance of being 'a woman of the people ' Prolly will never be the genius ,logical nor creative daughter.  I am a terrible friend, Lone company gives me more joy than friends,  I feel more secure with my walls than without them! So I push away those who try breaking them. I am an awful lover;  Past mistakes hold me back from giving my all, Why let someone call me "mine" When in real sense I am still caged to myself? ? Reasons to live give reasons to die! Or so I believe  But I don't have enough reasons to die So I am not gonna write this suicide note At least not today and  not any time  soon. And I look back at my therapist, 'I was thinking about how to prepare...

Dear Santa That's what kids call you right ? All I want for Christmas is a reminder!! In this season of mistletoe!  Remind me the reason is the crown of thorns, And it's more than new clothes and fancy hair. In a world where holding out my middle finger feels safe, Remind me to stretch out my arms and give love . Because love ain't a weakness!it's just unexplainable  Whenever I feel like a rumour  Remind me the strength in grapevine communication  Put me out of my mystery  Remind me that all will be okay  And as a guarantee,  I won't be on the naughty list By Favor khaoya

CONFESSION I bet you know not how I feel for you Unexplainable is the feeling that I'm feeling for you If true love was a lie then ad rather lie to you But the truth is ,I'd be true to you I am JEALOUS Jealous of every moment I am not with you Jealous of the air you inhale Jealous of the raindrops on your skin Jealous of every passing car that has the privilege to wear your reflection and wonder how perfect and handsome you are. Naturally I am a fearless lady But deep down one fear shatters me To have an open heart surgery and you popping out Coz you being In my heart is a priceless feeling and experience Explanation of why my life has exceptional results. If our life became a game of chess I would be your Queen over and over again Coz u my king,have my guaranteed perpetual protection and love. By Favorkhaoya

REQUEST In rags I am laden With a burden Full of bags My burden Too tough for me I can't bear  to be a beggar anymore I need salvation At the door of your house I knock,let me in, Master! humbly I ask Relieve me from my burden I am a poor weak sinner Erase my misdoings Give me the joy of simple things And an eye for ultimate beauty Let my heart be full of love My mind overflowing with reason Ability to discern good and evil each season So I stop being a beggar Coz I need to be rich in you God.
