Love me.

Love me,
not like a shadow,
for at nightfall everything vanishes
Including the shadow.

nor like your pillow,
never close to your bosom,
together only at sleep
and not again possible to meet.

nor like food,
no sooner eaten that is forgotten,
nor like flowery words spoken
for quickly they are devoured and lost in the air.

Love me like a good dream,
your life and mine at night time,
love me like your dear self
for this is that love that endures time itself.

My Ex.

I texted her last night, told her of my idea, shared a simple truth we held so dear. I told her I miss her, every bit of her. from her soft kisses to warm cuddly affection, I admitted I needed her, though we are no longer together. She has a boyfriend, but still, she is the only one girl who knows, the only one who can interpret love in every touch and single squeeze accompanied by a naughty giggle, She is the only one girl who can take me there, land me safely in paradise and erase my worries. True, I miss her, the simple encounters to complicated situations. essence of love on the bed, passionate kisses on the balcony, she is the only one girl who could make a day like these worth trying to live, She knew the simple tricks to bend time and turn me on, from cuffing me to the bed, to pouring warm chocolate on my chest. I confess she is the only one girl, Who made love seem to revolve the world I told her I miss her, miss how she used to put on a costume and let me tear it off her. I m...

Suddenly, something did move. Peeking out from under the monkey’s tummy, a small pair of sad eyes looked up at the children. “Oh, look!” said Geno. “It’s a baby monkey!” she whispered to Alid. She eased the tiny creature from under the tummy. All the children gasped. The author Shariffa Keshavjee has two new books out, “Momo the monkey arrives : Momo the monkey Adventure series,” and   “Momo makes a mess,” a picture book that’s great for reading to children or having them read when alone or aloud in groups. Here, Shariffa   leads readers through the children’s imagination and feelings towards their new found friend and pet, The author blends the ideas of children basic instincts ,innocence and a mixture of   mischievous traits   on how to   get Momo into their home, how to care for Momo and the fun   and chaos that comes with having a monkey in the house. Drawn with a sketchy but confident pencil line, and painted in the cle...

The 99% Club

by Zoe Wanjiru on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 5:28pm Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King. Why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy? The King asked the servant, "Why are you so happy?" The man replied, " Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies." The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King's woes and the servant's story, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has never been made part of The 99% Club." "The 99% Club? And what exactly is that?" the King inquired. The advisor replied, "...
