I can’t describe the sound of his voice
The music in his lungs
Or the rose pedals in his walk
But I imagine that his words
Are like fig leaves
That dance to the sound of opinions that refuse to be silenced
He’s the One Continue reading

I knew exactly what Love would look like
I’d always thought
I hadn’t met Love yet
But I knew if Love wandered into my room
I would recognise him at first glance
Love would wear a crucifix necklace
Love would play acoustic guitar
And know all my favourite Beatles songs
I was patient
Love would come
And when Love comes
I would know

But when Love finally showed up Continue reading
The sparkle in your eyes
The fullness of your lips
The radiance in your smile
The character in your face
The smell of your hair
Your breath on my neck
The touch of your hand
Your heartbeat on my bosom
That strength in your stare
Your contours that take my breath away Continue reading
FOREWORD: So someone (whose name you’ll know soon enough) has a crush on our dear sweet Chestnut. This someone has a magic with words, and decided to cast a spell for us to read and delight in, and for Chestnut to know and…well, (who knows) perhaps step up his game. 😀
Here’s the poem. Read and enjoy.
***
To Chestnut…
The first time we said, “Hello…”
It felt as though pterodactyls were flapping their wings against the corridors of my stomach.
That day, Cupid didn’t have an arrow large enough to hold an emotion this size
So he hijacked a plane and flew it into my chest. Continue reading
I never knew there were powers
Beyond resistance
I never knew anything hotter than fire
Searing, branding my heart more than the panther’s claws
I never swam somewhere deeper than the wine-dark sea
I never thought of a sight more beautiful than Aurora of the Northward sky
Something more orgasmic than eating chocolate
Never could I have thought there was something more breathtaking
Than the sight of Victoria falls
How could I ever have seen a thing that the ocean cannot wash away
More dramatic than the theatrics of the Royals
More soothing than morning mountain air
Something so hope-inducing
So energizing, unending like the band on my finger
More fun and laughter than Kito Diaries Continue reading
It hits you
Like a blow from your past
Boom! It strikes
Out of the blues
Into the new
Knocking you off your feet
Into a fit
You almost never see it coming
Can one ever be ready for love?
Are you ready for love?
Yes? No?
When love happens
It could make a grand entry with pomp and fanfare
Or a silent appearance like a stealth missile
Aiming straight for the heart
Or masked in a camouflage, seeking to be noticed
When it happens
Love makes an unexpected arrival.

Compliments of the Season, Kitodiariesians.
When I asked you for a Chai latte, what I meant to say was: “I was walking past. I saw you in the window. I only came in here because I had to know what your voice sounded like.”
But instead of saying that, I got really nervous and just ordered the first thing on the menu. I don’t even know what the hoot ‘Chai’ is…or a latte, for that matter.
When God made you, He cussed for the first time. He turned to an angel, gave him a high five and said: “Goddamn, I’m good!”
You are that good looking.
I spent the last five days trying to figure out how I will introduce myself to you properly, and I think I’ve finally figured it out. It’s going to be something like… “Hi.” That’s all I’ve got so far, but I think it’s a good start. Continue reading
