I Played Myself

I think it’s cute that people think that they don’t have types, or as I would like to call them, ‘Target Markets’. We naturally gravitate towards people who exhibit similar traits. Therapists would probably call this an unhealthy pattern, and therein lays the reason I don’t have a therapist, yet. I definitely have a type. I like the quiet ones, smells…

Cosmic Collision

#NewPost Cosmic Collision | Thoughts + Poetry | Mambokadzi District

I do not remember much from my life inside the sun, except, I lived in a perpetual state of burning. A handsome burning, the kind of burn that makes you fall in love with fire, smoke and ashes. A kind of burning that warms the coldest parts of your soul. My eyes are a window to an unenthusiastic hell. My tongue, a belligerent cesspool of poetic sorcery, smoked out of ink I made from my own ashes.…

You Got Me All The Way Fucked Up!

Before I tell the following story, I would just like to put it out there that my savagery is not reserved only for the men I sleep with. It is impartial, thorough and extends to anyone who takes me for some silly little idiot incapable of exercising its full wrath based on the little fact that we are friends.

I met Anesu* a few years ago in my second year of…

Chiedza

You know what? Life is a series of bad jokes. Well, at least mine is. Let me explain. I met Dude X* three years ago at a mutual friend’s birthday dinner. And by meet, I mean, he was introduced to me and I just shrugged because he looked like the poster child for fuck boys. It’s that haircut, honestly. From the moment we were introduced, he started flirting with me. I wasn’t having it.…

Celestial Incest by Philani Amadeus Nyoni

#NewPost Celestial Incest by Philani Amadeus Nyoni | Guest Posts | www.kadzidistrict.com

Petals suspended on a spine. Something bigger than us, than God, is alive, yawning, stretching, screaming in silence… Trying to be heard. See that grey beyond the homely lights, see the moon straining out of a cradle… A womb, light peeping beyond doom? Is that you, is that me, are we together, somewhere-sometime beyond now? No need to ask how it feels, it’s like, some déjà vu of a moment we are…

Instead, you have named my light a lie. God was watching as you peeled the sacred from my skin. She told me to tell you to be careful of crumbling temples. #Writing #poetry #instapoem #instaquotes #words #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #lovepoems #LightAndMuse #RaeLyric #mambokadzi #zimpoetry #ZimbabweanPoets #PenGang

Issa Knotty ting! Today I washed my hair. I tied you up in littke knots more complex than you are accomplished to conquer. The smoke formed thick lather. When I told you I was leaving, you laughed as if the grapes for our funeral hadn't soured. Like enough sunsets hadn't left you wondering. But here I am. Healing is delicious. #NaturalHair #BantuKnots #AfricanWomen #Sunset #raelyric #poetsofinstagram #WritersOfInstagram #Afrogram #mambokadzi #ZimbabweanWomen #zimblogger #ZimbabweanBloggers

Issa birthday gyal Lyric ❤💋👑

[msraelyric-blog]

A day till the anniversary of my landing on planet Earth. Thoughts. I think the humans are growing on me. They have taught me of light and dark, of joy and laughter. Of footprints on my soul, the ones we never forget. I have immortalized these memories in song, words and colour. I love their texture. They are real. tangible. I miss Yellow terribly but I think my work here hasn't begun. Dear self, remember to believe in all the galaxies you are. Grow up. Learn your lessons. From books and people and most importantly, from yourself. This year, do me this one favour, colour in gold, in light and in love. Forever Loving You #Thoughts #Writing #RaeLyric #life #words #quotes #LoveLettersToSelf #Writing #WritersOfInstagram #mambokadzi
