CALL ME ACE
I am my mother's beautiful daughter and my father's most courageous son.
Don't expect me to apologize if i use my good graces and charming persona to get what i need;Lets face it,great brains and intelligence do not always open doors;
Sometimes a girl need to use what God so freely gave...If you know what i mean.
But again,don't expect me to back out when the going get tough! "It's a men world,baby." My father often tells me. "Be vigilant!Macho and ruthless as well"
Explains why i have so many scars but still breathing;
I don't tap out!

MISSING MY MAN
Laughing hurts when you away from home baby.
My smile cry for the comfort of your sturdy arms especially now,during this unbearable long and hot African nights.
May the good Lord bring you safely back home soon soldier
Life is pretty bleak without you around.
Not even my quill has anything much to talk about with you gone.
Ik mis je mijn love.Am missing my man!
Come home soon Schatz
Your wife needs some guarding too.

VALENTINE DANCER
She is dancing again tonight
bare feet round the fire on the earthen floor
a leso firmly tied round her breast
and a sisal skirt round her waist
she rotates her hips jump and swing her body to the rhythm of the drums.
Year after year centuries decades hence
On the night of every Valentine she comes forth
endowed all round with beads and chalk markings
from the bush she reapear accompanied by a choir of young men
Beating drums round a fire singing folksongs of a strange tongue.
Some say she was an orphan killed by her cruel step mother on...

endowed all round with beads and chalk markings

THE ISLANDER
Daughter of the darker tan
beauty unknown to any men
veiled head to toe each day you quickly passed me by
yet those eyes spilled secrets of mischief,untapped passion concealed in purity and grace.
That sunny afternoon at the beach
watching you play in the water like some silly kid
Haha!Laughing musically at the sound the pebbles made
I knew you were the girl destined to bring my heart on its knees.
Each day behind the palm trees our love bloomed
The day after Eid al-Fitr we shared our first kiss
heat,intensity,chemistry we healed the hunger of...

OH HABIBI WHY HABIBI
I am a wounded soul left to the mercies of the scorching desert sand
am crying out loud to the Angels up above but my voice is too scarred,my words bear no sound at all.
The rhythm of my heart is rapidly fading into dots;Am dead breathing without air in my lungs.
Oh habibi why habibi?
Love of my life
Shine of my eyes
Peace that breeze my mind
Tell me what am I to do without?
I gave you each of my nights and days to spend away
I sealed my name with a promise of fidelity and give it to you
Now you sit on the roof laughing at this mess chewing my...

SO A MAN IS
The totality of a man equals his faith which coincides his beliefs;God,science...Whatever he stands or falls for.His thoughts which sums up the state of his conscience and finally and most critical,the conceptions of his heart whether its anger or love,hatred...Whatever fuels his mission!
And that's the quote of the day by Lady Peninnah Ng'ang'a!
Have a beautiful day beautiful people!

BODY LANGUAGE
My heart beats fast and loud
My chest hurts
My lips are cold
My feet are light
This is how the body tells what he wants
My heart begs for an answer from your heart
My chest expects to feel your arms around him
My lips desire to warm up on your lips
My feet try and leave the ground to fly TILL you
The body expresses my feelings better than the voice and the pen will EVER do.

HUSH BABY HUSH
What is that song you used to sing to me Mamaa;
"From the mountains down the river
from the hills down the streams
none is as gentle as thee
From the golden sun and the sparkling stars
The mighty moon and the clear skies
none is brighter than my beloved child.
Hush now child,hush beloved child of my heart
Mummy has nowhere else to be other than your care
Mummy is here child,hush baby hush,mummy is here.
Among lilies of the northern sphere and orchids in the east
amongst cherries in the south,violets and roses of the wild...

IT RAINS WHILE THE SUN IS OUT
"Sun shinning pretty bright this morn," she lets out a deep sigh."Perfect day for a swim in the river."
She lay back on the coach,close her eyes as she give her body away to the warm caresses of the crispy waters.
"Ohhhh!Sweet sweet melodies," referring to birds singing nearby bush.
"Mmmmhhhh!" She murmurs
She runs her thin fingers through the hair as her brown eyes absorbs the azure of the skies above!
"Breathtaking beautifully blue." Takes her back to a point in time not so long ago...
A Coldness on the cheek...

MY HIJAB MY PRIDE
The beauty of a woman is more than the curves of her body,her jewels,fragrance and sprays or the perfect features of her face.
Like a treasure on the ocean floor,the beauty of a woman lay hidden at the depths of her heart,her mind and in her soul.Just ask her eyes!
Thus says the veil on my face and the buibui hanging on top of my clothes!
Buibui is my honour,Hijab is my pride!
Happy world hijab day!!!

MY BUIBUI MY HONOUR
The body of a woman is an Altar
Beautiful,holy,divine
consecrated,anointed and reserved for the ordained.
What could express that better that my buibui
hanging loose on my wondrous curvy body
head to toe my honour is preserved from the lot.
FOOTNOTE
Buibui is a robe,a shawl or rather a long outer covering worn by women of Islam faith especially at the East Africa coastal region(and of course in many nations round the world)initially and mostly black,but now comes in different fashions, shades,colors and designs to fit the need of our women...
