Naked Soul

You’re like a rainy afternoon on a sunny day; always wet and warm.

Deja Vu

You give me déjà vu. You give me that, “it’s okay to love” kind of feeling, that “it’s safe to open up” kind of yearning,
that “forever starts now” but with meaning.

Naked

Your love breathes life into my veins
and my skin glows of the joy you bring,
because you love me whole,
with no
if, ands or conjunctions.

You love me unfinished and raw;
you want me unfiltered with no made up smiles.

You love me naked
and bear with my truths.

Chapter 12 — Something Borrowed

We get an in depth look at the family dynamics in the Muujiza household.

Mapenzi explores her relationship with Mfariji, although hostile in the beginning, she eventually gave her a chance and accepted that there are things she can’t change and that acceptance was the best option for her family.

From dance lessons to lessons on etiquette, we get a bit of background on Mapenzi’s upbringing and how it has affected the daughters of the royal family.

Fugitive

When I think of you,
I often pinch myself.

It’s how I remind me
that you’re not a fugitive of my imagination.

For so long my love was a holiday destination; lovers came here to rest and find themselves. I was where they could be sinful with no judgement, a place to run to when they wished to hide from their past traumas. I’m beautiful when they first see me and warm when they get used to…

Tonight I long to be loved like a sin, to be bound and showered with curses. So leave your halo at the door and release your inner demon; the one who finds pleasure in torture, the one who knows scratches pave the road to redemption and screams are the sound of a soul seeking heaven.…

You make me want to put my roots down, to still be around after the hormones dissipate. I’m still scared of the unknown but I wish to explore your heart like colonisers looking for a place to lay claim, to seek you out like hands attached to a compass. You make me want to forgive,…
