Writer's spell

By

 I don't even know how I explain this, I am supposed to know that I can't fall for a writer instead I would fall for the characters that he describes and personifies as he bleeds on the paper. 

I couldn't help it, I run to sin in the name of discovery

If you know me well, I am always exited about art, even for the types of art that I am not able to craft yet, I would say that art touches my soul more than any human being will ever try to.

It all started when I found out that he does not only do poetry but also write short stories that are a bit erotic. That drew me in even further. because I love a good book, cigarettes, and fantasy let alone romance. As I read his story, I couldn't help but visualize all of the details that he is giving. My curiosity grew further to explore what he offers and test the bit of who he says he is. 

I mean I am creator too, somehow I know if  this person was just building a character that will live in the mind of the readers relentlessly or if poetry came to life and fuels the living daily. 


I adored the writer and his characters, I held myself together so I couldn't approach and strike a conversation, I knew I would have a short if I wanted one but my ladylike dignity muffled my ill intentions.  I fantasized about him a lot to the extent where I have read every story he wrote and every poem he composed.

I reached my consesus, I mean I came back to my senses and acknowledge the growth and was ready to move on until I met him in the crowded park years latter and my mind went lustful as I glanced at him again. Good girls should hold on to their reputation but clearly I was failing. My mind went back to square one where I was willing to find out the reality of the author instead of fantasizing the characters. 

He approached and gave me a warm hug, his cologne lingered in the air, a subtle mix of musk and sandalwood that made my heart race and my palms sweaty. I played a flirty game, being nice and avoidant; being a lover and reader, I had to find balance to plot my ways. 

When the night fell off while I dance my soul out to keep my body fit and my mind clear, I bumped into him again and I knew I needed to close his case of my list. I didn't bother to use words, our eyes talked. I had two choices to feed the temptation and to let it go but the good thing about me, I don't let go, I let it burn. 

 

Glad to see you here, My name is Colette MUKAGATERA welcome to my personal blog. I'm an aspiring writer since 2016. I will be sharing experiences, love stories, poetry, and anything else that can be expressed in written form.

If I don't make it, Call my sister

By
 If  I don't make it home,  Or from my dance class,  Or from my early morning jogs,  Or to work someday, Wait for me a little longer,  I might be sitting by the road,  Admiring cars or just overthinking,  I might be still in my bed,  Debating if that day is worth the corporate stress,  I might be deciding if I got to keep going or just give up,  If I don't make it,  Before you call anyone, talk to God, Ask for my last blessings and a restful death.  When you get my house, grab my journal on the bedsitter  Write down that date and say that I didn't make it.  Search for all my journals and burn them, Because the dreaming and planning will be over. Don't call my guy best friend, because honestly that's heartbreak to never recover from. Don't call my mom directly,  Because it will be sorrows to loose her youngest child,  No matter how much I can age,  I am still my mom's youngest child, her little love...

People like us

  This story was inspired by my dearest friend Alizee.  She is a girl of morals and I love that she is full of life regardless of the hell she has been through. Being a bitch and a lover, a sinner and a saint, and most of all, she lived to live not to survive.   Seeing the way she lived I questioned my existence and wondered if she lived like that because her name meant trade wind and she only acted like wind. She was always convinced that she was not like others, not in an extraordinary manner but in a way, she was a person to fight and work twice as hard compared to other people. She believed everything has to be earned, even love. “ People like us”, She said  People like us are never allowed to be wrong and to be anything less than perfect. We are raised that way,  Even as a child, she was not allowed to ask silly questions if it was not for excellent answers or experiences. Growing up, she never saw her mother happy. She believed that at some point, m...

Another Valentine's Day

 And it is another Valentine's day,  Where we are just grateful to be in good health,  And no prospects for intimate relationships.  Alone at night cuddling pillows or at the clubs getting tipsy And yet, we have a phone full of names and numbers,  A gallery full of memories of people we no longer talk to  But forever in love with them.  Where most people have touched our bodies and faces,  But never met our souls and hearts,  And we drew distance to keep it classy,  Since showing emotion reflects weakness.  Another Valentine's day,  Where we are thinking about our next big projects,  Instead of  planning gifts to give to people we care for, Where some of us will only call family to check on how they  are doing and simply wish them  a nice day.  Where we really don't mind an invitation to dinner,  Or alone night in for a deep sleep after a long week, Where we are just on a normal Friday, Thankful th...
