the forbidden fruit

 

 The forbidden fruit

 

Them stars were shining bright

And the moon mellow.

Was dawn of the night,

Sang by crickets cricketing,

It was a silent night, calm and bright.

Maryjane alikuwa ananizindikisha,

Our lazy rusty feet on the tarmac,

The road whispered by our sweet nothings,

The giggles.

She smiled, she giggled, she winked, her eyebrow twitched.

She curled herself, her legs twisted, i laughed!

Mary jane, “Tee, y u laughing?”

I continue laughing.

Maryjane, (really inquiring, impatient)“mbona wacheka?

Woiye, niambie tu sweety.”

Tee: “ok, sawa basi. Ever discovered what the forbidden fruit was?”

Maryjane: (giggling) “sijui, niambie.”

Tee: “for a long time, nimekuwa nikijiuliza,

which is this forbidden fruit? Lakini ni kaa saa hii nimepata jibu.”

Am searching into her eyes, she is inquiring more.

So i continue,

“how comes the forbidden fruit ilikuwa kati kati mwa shambe?

Kwa nini haingepatikana anywhere else?

How comes the forbidden fruit haikuwa na jina kama apple,ndizi….

Mary jane intersects, “”

Banana, machungwa, limau, peas, plums, blackberry

Lakini iliitwa just – the forbidden fruit?”

I notice some mischief from a corner of her lip.

I continue nonetheless,

“how comes the forbidden fruit ilikuwa tamu kuliko zote?

Eh? Kwa hivyo matunda zote tamu umekula

Hazijanusia utamu wa forbidden fruit?”

Maryjane: (giggling and pinching me softly) “me sijui, labda uniambie”

Tee: “how comes in the garden of eden,

Adam hakuwahi kula the forbidden fruit until eve akaumbwa?

Kwani, what was it about eve that alipoland in the garden of Eden,

adam alikula the forbidden fruit?

Alafu, how comes adam alikula the forbidden fruit

After eve amei-discover?

Mbona adam hakuwahi kui-discover?

Mary jane: “kwani eve alifanyia nini hiyo forbidden fruit?”

Tee: “haswa! Kwani eve alido what? Alibehave kivipi?

Kwani swahili ya eve ilikuwa aje mabo byad

hadi adam akaingia box, akala the forbidden fruit?”

mary jane:(laughing like s#*!. Having a joy of her time,

akiniambia nimechizi.) fuck! She looked lovely.

Nilijihisi ni kama nimerukia wire ya stima,

Nimehung kama some bird hivi,

Lakini no matter the voltage, it made me stronger.

Then she said it,

“ingekuwa ni mimi wewe adam,

By now ningekuwa nimeonja, nimekula ile fruit,

Saa hii niko tu katika harakati za kufurahia

flava yake vile ni tam, tam tam saaan…………..”

i never let her finish talking.

Pap! Planted a kiss on her……..

All i remember henceforth is kesho yake,

The girl ameniandalia breakfast,

Making me feel like a king, yaani MFALME.
