I'll WAIT,I WON'T SETTLE ON BAITS.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

May take years, but I'll wait,
For one and only rose,who deserves my taste.
My weak flesh needs, but I'll do no haste,
Until I spot one,who we share the same fate,
Meanwhile I won't be hooked,by pressure and baits!

I'll hold, my all treasure and gold,
Though all night I tremble,with fear and cold,
I need to live my life, even if it takes me to thirty or beyond,
I won't settle, until my bus arrives for board.

I'll wait in these shores,of sea and lakes,
Until I engulf my fish, not a look alike,
I'll smile all day, and sing songs of joy to be frank,
Meanwhile I won't settle for less, my heart and toes will ache.

This day I was traveling to Nairobi and my grandpa had something to share with me.

"When I was a young vibrant and energetic young man as you're, that's the time I built my first hut,in the early 1960s.l was preparing to marry,I wonder if you gentlemen of today marry willingly or under pressure.Look at your youngest uncle he's clocking 30 next year, neither married nor planning to."
He peeped his eyes towards mine to confirm if I was keen listening,I nodded for affirmation.He coughed and spitted to the further head,he grabbed his armchair and sat comfortably on it.
"But grandpa you said you're an agent of change..."

"I'm, listen my grandson years flip unknowingly from ones hands, you won't be like this forever,roses fade away, petals dry up and fall unwillingly,every stage of humankind is seasonal.If he can't marry know and have something attached to his name, when?
Do you think this is light,if this is the change then it is better for me to withhold our ways of ages."
He forced a smile and looked at me and I nodded."A man should build a house before marriage and there after accompanied by his wife they build home." This time he laughed at me because he had confused me.

"There's a difference between house and home,a house is just an empty structure with nothing inside, it's like a hall without a chair or a table.Home is made by the woman,she is the architecture but the man play the role of an engineer just the way an engineer makes a way where seems no way, that is the role of any breathing man.He lead and other family members follow ,do you think lads of our time used to brag with tattoo and chest thumping in social media like your generation does today?
Grandson,we used to work our ass out.Some of us inherited neither cow nor soil,I pity men of today.
Ladies are not excepted as well,they are as lazy as you men are, I'm not one sided.No man in my time who bought cups,tables or chairs for the house.When a gentleman select a lady to marry,she sacrifices her ...

Hello

17/12/2022

Niece, I'll be that Uncle...
Who will clock thirty without a woman on my side.
Your mom will always make fun of me "My bro is anti-aging, anti-ladies creature."
I'll be that Uncle,
Whom will laugh at the edge of a knife, pistol sight,daisy cutter or at the mouth of death.
Because I'm the uncle,who will actualize his dreams at any cost,no option.

Nephew did you hear that...
I'll be the uncle who you'll enjoy to vibe with and pay visit daily.
I'm the uncle who will open up for you, I'll always brief you on hidden face of Earth.
I know you will be surprised, angered, furious and happy.
I'm the uncle,who will never forget your birthday gift.

I'm the uncle...
Whom your mom will tell you to copy,
Though she will never tell you my story, because you won't like it!
I'll be the uncle,
Who will unbutton his shirt when you're of age and show you, how wonded man look like.

Rumours that I separated with Mirriam are not true,yes we usually combat each other though never turns to fisticuffs as she try to subdue me.I don't know if we can stay a day without issues and whenever I try to argue, things turn smoky,I usually leave her alone for a while as I chat with my boys outside but these days ,"Îtã kîî êkûrû bãkûû." she says.☹️

Yesterday was worst, you know it's on christmas and we're meeting old friends on the way,we were in one of the restaurant in town and this long time friend of mine enters.I couldn't hold my joy,I hugged her and our laughter was in high degree.I introduced her to Mirriam and we had a good time together,ugali mrenda that I had ordered tasted like bitter herbs,soda tasted like agua fresh water.😂. I placed a nice order and the other food was poured in the dustbin.We sipped wine like nonentity as we flashbacked what we had gone through.Mirriam enjoyed every minute of our talk,her interjections were humorous though I knew I had many questions to answer once we're back.🤭

We talked about our primary teachers,old friends we miss until conversation touched our current situation.Sharon was so keen when selecting topics,I knew she did such after observing Mirriam's discomfort.She praised Mirriam beauty and how two of us are perfect pair, maybe she had passed across some of my facebook post on how Mirriam is so selfish about me,she doesn't like any lady who seem to enjoy my company!
We cleared the table and we were set to go, Mirriam and Sharon exchanged phone numbers and both liked each other and that was my happiness,I knew I gonna meet Sharon sometime two of us and discuss some things we can't share when we're three, and if they're in friendship mood, Mirriam couldn't find an issue why I can't meet her,and I had solid reasons to do so.

Things turned,we boarded different matatu back home as our norm.She arrived thirty minutes earlier and changed.I met her on the sofa eyes glued on the television watching akili kids ...

I have found the girl.
Who resemble my mother,
A castle-builder,
A fighter,
A miss,
A dreamer not an amateur.
A saved girl not a B-girl.

I have found a lady,
An eye of a fisherman,
A daughter of a Potter,
A molder,
A monitor.
Then my mom whispered to my expecting ears.
"My son;
In her hands my grandchildren are safe,
Hold her hand and never turn back,
Put her finger ring and never take it back,
Tie with her a knot which will never apart,
Open your mouth son and promise her future!
Water this love so that it will never wither."

My heart skipped,
Then I said.
"I love you ..."
Since then I blossom.
