CECE
to my best friend cece,
I know our relationship is not perfect.
Heck, I know the stars look down on us and think we are
the absurd.
We don’t say I love you often enough.But I know you would help
me hide a body or atleast visit me in prison(everyday)
I know that you don’t think it,
but you are beautiful.The awkward kind of beauty that makes
men unsure if their reading you...

“The Image Of Me” by Danish video artist Jeannette Ehlers and Dutch visual artist Patricia Kaersenhout for the Black Magic Women Festival 2012 in Amsterdam Southeast, portrays two women – one black and one white – who gradually change colour. The video is based on the poem “Lord Why Did You Make Me Black?” from African-American poet RuNett Nia Ebo.

two people who were once very close can
without blame
or grand betrayal
become strangers.
perhaps this is the saddest thing in the world.

all those nights with the phone warming the side of my face like the sun. you made jokes and sure, i may have even laughed a little but mostly you were not funny. mostly you were beautiful. mostly you were unremarkable, even your mediocrity was unremarkable. when friends would ask ‘what do you…

The nurse turned to me and asked, “Are you depressed?” The sheer size of the laugh I offered her as response shocked the both of us. I apologized immediately. Said, yeah. I’m a pretty cynical guy. Sad a lot of the time. By the time the appointment’s over, she looks into my eyes like they’re her…

2 AM MENTAL BANTER
To black love poems….to swing me bys at two am.
To words unspoken,wet cement on your tongue.
To women being paintings and poems,
to self emulation under the rising morning sun.
To 12 hour life span kisses,
to the hangover and a dinner table with your demons.
Salut!
Salut,to the rhythm of your own breathe in the dead of night.
Self control
Traces of over thought thoughts.
To orange...

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house…

Water God
I would like to imagine God is like water.
Surrounding us in whole.
Taste, unique to every tongue.
PURIFIED.
We only have to hold our breathe.
Immerse ourselves deep in it.
Let the water seep into our lungs,
and accept the drowning.

2. I have more fingers than people I trust, and I am not one of those people.
3. I have more hands than times I’ve seen men admit they are scared. Manhood is a funny thing. The intrigue of standing tall swallows your skin and all of the sudden keeping ones spine intact becomes…

god sinned against us
The day my grandmother died,
I came home to an empty house.
The floors lay naked, curtains drawn.
God became a sinner.
He sinned against us for ten days.
Day one.
When realisation burst into our doors,
she was gone.
hope still comforted us to sleep.
Day two,
I could see her in my dreams,roaming the streets of Dar- es -salaam.
I pleaded that those streets would harbour peace for her.

The secret admirer
My greatest fear is to be forgotten.
To be lost amid the billions electrons of buzzing inside your memory, barely causing a flicker of emotion .
To be but a trinkent in the souvenir shop of your life.
But worse still,
my greatest fear is not being able to forget you.
To not see the sparkle of your smile, in the stream that leads to the ocean of your laughter.
I watch the phone.
