It’s you
My Dearest Love, It’s you. It’s always been you, mama. Every beat of my heart, every breath I take, reminds me of you. Since the day you walked away, life has not been the same. I’ve been shrinking, fading, not just in body but in spirit too. I’m not okay, and I won’t pretend otherwise. The world sees me smile, but deep down, I’m a man crumbling without his queen. Also read: My love, my heart, my home Let no one lie to you. Let no voice deceive your heart. I have no one else. I mean that from the depth of my soul. There’s no other woman, no replacement,…

Sunset at sunrise
As they finished their sketches and packed up, Zuri felt a newfound sense of hope blossoming within her. Maybe her grandmother was right; every sunset could lead to a beautiful sunrise.

The sunset adventure
As the last rays of sunlight dipped below the horizon, Malia felt a rush of warmth envelop them. The world around them faded away as they leaned closer, their hearts beating in sync. When their lips met in a gentle kiss, it was like igniting a spark that had been waiting for this moment. The kiss was soft and tentative at first, then deepened as they embraced the feelings they had kept hidden for so long.

Happy birthday my Sidi
If I could capture the beauty of today in words, I would start by describing you. But no words could ever do justice to the way you light up my world. I’ve seen sunsets that painted the sky with the most breathtaking shades of orange and purple, but nothing compares to the way your presence fills a room. You have this grace about you, an effortless elegance that makes every moment we share feel like a scene from a story I never want to end. Today, as I think of you, I am reminded of the first time I truly saw you—not just looked at you, but saw you. I…

Love’s Final Farewell
The evening sun dipped low, casting a warm orange glow over the horizon as Alex sat on the beach, his heart heavy with emotions he could no longer suppress. The sound of waves crashing against the shore was usually soothing, but today, it only seemed to amplify the turmoil within him. He had come to this spot often with Aisha, back when they were inseparable—when love was simple, before everything fell apart. Alex’s fingers toyed absentmindedly with the sand, his mind replaying every word of the message Aisha had sent earlier that day: “Please, let’s stop this back and forth. I’ve moved on.” It was brief, cold, and final. His…

Seven lonely days
The sun was setting, painting the sky with shades of orange and pink, but Daniel barely noticed. He stood by the window, looking out over the quiet street as the shadows deepened. His heart weighed heavily in his chest, and every breath felt like a reminder of how incomplete he was without her. The apartment was too silent, too empty. It had been seven long days since Sophia left, and each moment without her was like an eternity. Sophia was supposed to go away for just a few days—a work trip that came unexpectedly. Daniel hadn’t thought much of it at first, but as the days stretched on and her…

Joy my heart
I sit here, pen in hand, my heart full of emotions, all of them wrapped up in you, Joy. I’ve thought about writing you this for a long time, hoping that these words will carry the weight of what my heart has held for so long. You are the sunshine that brightens every corner of my life, the gentle breeze that whispers comfort when things get tough. You, Joy, are the reason my world feels complete. From the first moment I met you, I knew there was something different, something special. Your laughter, it’s like music, the kind that lingers in your mind long after the song is over. Your…

Shadows of Jealousy
Juma lived in a bustling town where the sun kissed the rooftops every morning to spread the glamour that defines Kilifi. His heart had once been a sanctuary, filled with dreams and laughter, especially when he was with Rehema, the girl who had captured his spirit. They shared secrets under starlit skies and promised each other forever. But that forever began to crumble one fateful morning. Just three days after their break-up, Juma woke up to a reality that felt surreal. The vibrant life they built together seemed to dim as he learned that Rehema had already moved on. In just a week, she was entwined with someone else, her…

The last goodbye
Under the shade of an old mkone tree, Baya waited. The coastal breeze whispered through the leaves as the waves in the distance crashed gently on the banks of Nzovuni River. He glanced around, fidgeting with his worn-out wristwatch, his heart heavy with the weight of what was to come. This was their spot, a secluded place they had met for months, hidden away from the prying eyes of the world, where no one would suspect the bond that had grown between them. And then, there she was Karembo, walking towards him with her graceful stride, her colourful leso draped loosely over her shoulders. She had a softness in her…

The birthday we once knew
Under the soft glow of a setting sun, the memories of us felt alive again. I remember the way you’d laugh, the way your eyes sparkled when we shared those quiet moments under the stars, dreaming of a future I thought we still had time to build. But maybe I took too long. Maybe I thought love would wait forever, that you would wait forever. Today, I sit by the window, watching the world outside, thinking of the woman who once filled my life with joy. Today is your birthday—a day I never missed, a day I always cherished because it reminded me of the gift you were to this…
