THE LITTLE GIRL IN ME

-

I have a little girl in me
that loves to play
She likes to be tickled
and laughs so hard
She likes to yearn for sweet things
a little ice cream here, a smokey there


She likes to be surprised
a midnight text, a takeout breakfast on a Tuesday
She likes pretty dresses
shoes and hippy music to dance to
She likes to be waved in the air
lifted high and tossed around
She likes her hand held
while crossing the road

She likes to be tucked in bed
and hugged until she falls asleep
She likes to play hide and seek
and giggle at a corner
while you search for her
She likes to be told shes beautiful
and shes the only one

She likes to be wiped off her tears
and broad chest for solace
She likes to whisper you her secrets
and make saliva pacts and pinky promises
and make you swear you'll never tell
She likes to watch animation
and sing out loud to her favourite tunes

She likes a naughty note
passed on in the middle of a boring lecture
She likes to be walked down the street
as she stares and points at everything she sees
She likes silly pictures , dumb emoticons
to capture a mundane day

I'm most delightful
watching her come out
I'm like; there you go
Whats yours like?? 😊(boy or girl)

Survival for the loudest chap

It's a Friday night in an eighth full matatu(team positivity) and I'm going wherever the party's at. I'm a little frustrated from frantic calls I'm getting from another fella and I won't pick them anyway. A raggedy brother hops in, looks around and he settles for where I am. I'm mad, what are all these empty se ats for? I know I'm not looking pretty as my hair is held back with no much thought put into neatness. I'm in a trenchcoat and some random pants I jumped into hurriedly. Or it's that thing they say about you being who you att ract? I'm actually mad because he has a boiled maize on his left that he's gnawing at unapologetically and a fat avocado on his right. Wait, no, that's no crime. It's his chewing that's getting to my nerves. "You can have a bite," he offers with his mouth full and pointing the maize at me. I'll pass lawfully. My reason being chewing maize is exhausting for me, so I'm

Cold Feet

“It’s obvious that by now you know I like you a lot.” “What?” I retort with a cheeky face I make when I’m trying to downplay these situations. “I do, and it feels like you’re stealing my heart ma’am.” “But I am a career criminal Sir, you shouldn’t be surprised.” My humour kicks in and I’m getting excited. “I can’t have you running in the streets free like that, I should cuff you sometime.” “Well, catch me if you can!” and I cough faintly. “Ok, get your witty ass in we got to go.”   I have a cold but he says we should go out. He insists and fine, I let him have it. I could manage. We drive off to grab some burgers at the mall and catch up in an open space. He says staying indoors and cuddling up with my teddy bear, Bubbles, doesn’t help. He speaks like an indigenous Kenyan and I totally understand. He says I look good today. With my blue cardigan sweater, jeans and bata ngomas. “But my eyes are bloodshot don’t you see? “But I said what I said Monique.” His inner self mus

The Zombie Apocalypse

I look at generational gap in so many ways, and my parents just make it clear how lost they feel living amongst us. Well, my dad made it even crisper, ha-ha. I had my series in CDs and would leave them at the TV area. So someday, my dad got ahold of walking dead which he chose to watch at night, mistake number one. All we could hear was him gasping, “My goodness!” every other two seconds in some kind of tone. Worse, he was alone in the living room. My old man is brave, those zombies are driving him crazy but he keeps on, until when he realizes that this thing won’t end. Well, he wasn’t raised watching series. So he relinquished the trauma! I too, got really cold chills watching XYZ but my amusement couldn’t let me back down till I got used to them, even horror movies don’t do nothing to me anymore, except Hannibal. It’s a thriller that apprehends me, and I need the lights on to get through it. All this time I zoom into the film industry asking myself why? I mean what are these
