Introducing Forbidden Folklore

A poem by Jeffrey Musa
And so here I stand; my ear full of noises,
Noises of my beating heart beat, a heart strong and warm and true,
When shall my heart start beating, when will my heart know love?
Love is the elixir that injects life into the soul of my heart beat,
And so here I stand; my ear full of noises,
Noises of my beating heart beat, a heart longing to be consumed by love again

A Dirge

Why are your hands so cold? Your hands that made my cold hands warm, who will warm your hands now. Where has the life drained to from your soft beautiful cheeks? What is this haziness I see cast over your eyes? Where has the sharpness that pierced my heart from your eyes wandered to? Breathe again, so I can breathe, lift my darkness with the light from your warmth, make me feel alive again with the fire from your eyes. For you have loved me in the light of day and now I must love you in the darkness of eternity.

I see clearly now, I am making right for my inhibitions, I am casting my fear aside, I take you as you come, I believe in the dream that you are, I see now that you are the one for me.

Husband Snatcher

Husband snatcher  A story.  The bus arrived two hours early, at four in the morning. He knew they had  reached their destination when the conductor, sleepy eyed and grumpy,  switched on the lights and paced up and down banging on the tin roof of the  big, aging bus. Nobody protested, the passengers dutifully got up and  started assembling their luggage. In twenty minutes, he too was in a fast  moving que filing out of the bus. It hd been a long, bumpy ride, a painful  journey, yet not an unfamiliar one. Uncaring to the other Kenyan  passengers, this particular young, tall, skinny man-with blue-black bruises  all over his face, aches and pains all over his body- had been travelling  most of his short life.  As he clutched his nice leather carry-on bag, which were all of his  belongings, he knew this was the last time he was running. His life as a  traveler was over, it decided and affirmed. Wanzu island was to be hi...
