The Tale of Love

The Tale of Love Between Rain and Sun

In a small village called Usitawi, nestled in the lush green Rift Valley of East Africa, life thrived. This village was known for its beautiful scenery, cheerful people, and unique culture. In Usitawi, there was a girl named Amani. Amani was a beautiful young woman with a heart of gold and a remarkable talent for singing songs filled with hope and joy.

One day, during a heavy downpour, Amani was walking through her family’s farm, checking on the flourishing crops. The rain was pouring heavily, but Amani didn’t mind. She loved the smell of the wet earth and the sound of rain falling on the leaves. As she walked, she noticed the shadow of a person behind a large mango tree.

“Who’s there?” Amani asked gently but with a hint of worry.

From behind the tree emerged a tall young man with bright eyes. He was dressed in green clothes that matched the surroundings of the village. He had a captivating smile, and his eyes seemed to hold the secrets of the world.

“Sorry if I scared you,” the young man said. “My name is Jua. I come from a distant village, seeking work and a place to stay.”

Amani smiled and warmly welcomed Jua. “Welcome to Usitawi, Jua. Our village loves visitors. You can stay with my family until you find a place to live.”

Jua gratefully accepted and started living with Amani’s family. He helped with the farm work and quickly became a favorite among the family members. Over the following days, Jua and Amani grew closer. They discovered they had many common interests; they both loved music and stories and shared big dreams of improving the lives of the villagers.

One night, as they sat under the mango tree, gazing at the stars, Jua looked at Amani and said, “Amani, there’s something I haven’t told you. I come from a village of sorcerers. I have the power to command the rain and the sun. When I sing, the rain falls or the sun shines.”

Amani was astonished by this revelation. “Really? That’s an incredible power! You could use these powers to improve the lives of the people in this village.”

Jua smiled. “Yes, Amani. I came here to help. But there’s a condition. I need someone who will believe in me and work with me sincerely. I believe that person is you.”

Touched by Jua’s words, Amani promised to stand by his side and use their powers together for the benefit of their village. From that day on, Amani and Jua embarked on a great mission to transform Usitawi.

They sang songs of rain and sunshine together. The rain would fall when the crops needed water, and the sun would shine when it was time to harvest. The crops thrived, and the village prospered. The villagers were amazed and delighted by these changes. They had plenty of food, and their lives improved significantly.

As days passed, Amani and Jua’s relationship grew even closer. Their love was genuine and unique. They knew they had a great responsibility to ensure their village continued to thrive. The villagers saw them as wizards of love and hope.

However, like many love stories, challenges were inevitable. A neighboring village, known as Giza, was envious of Usitawi’s success. They sent a messenger to Amani and Jua with a warning. “If you fail to share your blessings with our village, we will attack and take your powers.”

Amani and Jua were not afraid. They knew that their love and unity were stronger than Giza’s envy and greed. They gathered the villagers and informed them of the threat. The people of Usitawi agreed to support each other and protect their village together.

One night, the village of Giza attacked. They thought that using their dark powers, they could defeat Usitawi. But they were wrong. Amani and Jua led their village with songs of hope and love. The rain poured heavily, washing away the dark powers, and the sun shone brightly, giving strength to the people of Usitawi to fight off the invaders.

After a fierce battle, Usitawi emerged victorious. The people of Giza fled and never returned. The village celebrated this victory with great joy. They knew that their love and unity were stronger than anything else.

Amani and Jua were hailed as heroes of the village. They continued to use their powers for the benefit of the village, ensuring Usitawi thrived for generations. Their love became an example for all.

Thus, the story of Amani and Jua, the tale of love between rain and sun, was preserved in the hearts of the people of Usitawi. It continued to be told for generations, teaching the importance of love, unity, and hope in facing life’s challenges.

The Children of Gaza

  The Children of Gaza   In the heart of Gaza, where laughter once played, Now echoes of silence, of joy that decayed. The children with eyes, like the moon’s gentle glow, Bear burdens of sorrow, no young heart should know. Their homes, once a haven, now rubbles and dusts, As Israel’s fire, rains down upon their heads, With their cruellest hand, striking with lust,  Turning echoes of joy, into cries of despair.    The West, with their cruelty, indifferent faces,   Arms the terror, then prays for grace to them. Their hollow sympathies, like crocodile tears, Leaving them with naught, but the shadows of death.  Promises float, like leaves in the wind,   Empty and frail, sins veiled and pinned.   While Israel tries to shape their will,   Their tender minds, are never still. Neighbour’s attempts, mere drops in the sea, Could not quench, the thirst of their desperate plea. The UN, aloof, with cold gazes from afar, Condemnin...

How I Met The Most Beautiful Woman In The World

VAMPIRE TALES How I met the most beautiful woman in the world Life was getting hard. I’d given up on ' the library crush' convinced she’s a league beyond, and I was loathing of ' my selfish terrorist neighbour' , losing interest in her, having failed all attempts to plough her again. But my quest to find the love of my life hadn’t died. I still held onto the hope of meeting her someday.  Worse was the state of my pockets, my poor pockets. I was so broke, that I even considered skipping lectures to hustle in town. My necessities were dwindling, and not much use with the gigs and friends for the pandemic had hit us all the same. I contacted my mom, and she promised me some 20K shillings, which I budgeted before it even arrived. I couldn’t afford gas anymore, so I prioritised the cooking kerosene, and vegetables and flour, the balance to settle any abrupt academic necessities. As soon as I received the money, I rushed to buy kerosene, my priority. But to my disappointment...

Laments and Hustles

Laments & Hustles   In a country of potential, under skies so vast, Countrymen stand alone, as shadows are cast. Blessed with riches, the earth and the waters, Yet they’re frozen in poverty, far from free. Corruption soars, through the streets they weave, Blooming in darkness, and broad day light, Strangling hope, making dreamers grieve. Public safes drained, by hands of stealth wolves, Leaving empty promises, no communal wealth. Kinship and friendship, now hollow words, In a jungle of survival, where might is lord. Recognition comes not from merit or plan, But the name of your father, and your clan. Your tribe is your armor, or it’s your chain, In this game of identity, there’s much to gain. Religion, once solace, now dreamless, stark, As tribalism’s flames burn fierce and dark. The trusted leaders, in whom faith was lain, Revealed as the robbers, the cause of the pain. Betraying the trust, exploiting the land, With deceitful tongues and a thieving hand, The rich grow fat, and...

African Woman

African Woman   O, African Woman At break of dawn, you rise for those you hold dear, In every circumstance, you persevere with love, to make a difference clear. You hustle nine moons, to add a life into this world, You raise us strenuously with love, that we become of a meaning. Seasons shift, yet you remain steadfast, without fear, In strength, truth, and beauty, your presence we revere. Your dark skin, a canvas that glistens, a sight so rare, It shines and glitters, like silver and gold in the sun.  Desire to feel your touch, a sentiment we share, Your hands, crafted from celestial sprigs, show tender care. Your touch heals, and relieves the world, Whatever you mold, a testimonial of your perfection. Your hair, a wonder, leaves many in despair, Waves of joy sparkle from it when it meets the sun. Your smile, a phenomenon to behold, When your lips part, reveal stories untold. Kings quiver at the sight of your gum's dark mold, Your laughter is a cure, more precious ...

The African Child

The African Child Beneath the vast and boundless sky, Where dreams are scarce and wells run dry, An African child with hopeful eyes, Amidst the arid lands, he lies. His feet are bare, his clothes are torn, Yet in his heart, new hopes are born, Each day he rises with the sun, A battle fought, a day not done. With every dawn, his spirit soars, Despite the hunger, pain endures, He walks for miles, no shoes to wear, To fetch some water, clean and rare. The school is far, the path is rough, But knowledge calls, he must be tough, For every word he learns to say, Is a tiny victory, come what may. His laughter rings, pure and clear, Defying the presence of danger near, For in his play, he finds release, A moment's peace, a sweet caprice. The night descends, the stars alight, He whispers prayers into the night, For rain to fall, for crops to grow, For a chance at life, to thrive, to know. An African child, strong and wise, Beyond the struggles, he will rise, For every hardship h...

The Unseen Guest

 **The Unseen Guest** Families, friends, and well-wishers all gathered at St. Priscilla church to witness the grand ceremony. Azumya, the most handsome man ever seen or whispered was to marry the young Phita. As the organ's melody filled the air, a chill descended upon the church. Whispers among the congregation grew; a presence was felt, unseen but as real as the stone beneath their feet. It was the spirit of the forest, bound by an ancient oath to Azumya, who now watched her promised love pledge himself to another, the one Phita. Father Zemole raised his hands, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here—” But the spirit would not be silenced. With a voice like the rustling leaves, it spoke, “Azumya is mine!” The church gasped, and Father Zemole's words faltered. “Who dares interrupt this sacred union?” “I am Ozum, the spirit of the forest,” it declared, “and Azumya sworn himself to me, here and in the life hereafter.” Back then, before any one every knew him, Azumya was an ugly be...
