How Do You Know

How Do You know if he's the one How do you know if it has begun How do you know if this is the time How do you know if you should decline How do you know when the time has arrived How do you know when you have to subside How do you know when it's time to open your eyes How do you know when it's time to collide How do you tell if he's changed his ways How do you tell if this life has better days How do you tell if tomorrow he'll stay How do you tell if it will all be okay How will I know when I'm fighting the truth How will I know when this is what should be true How will I know when things are easy to do How will I know when I'm being a fool How do I know How will I know How does it work When will show

They Remind You

They always remind you Remind you of who they are Remind you that they haven't changed Remind you how they used to be Remind you why you walked away Remind you why you couldn't stay They always remind you

Why Do They Wait

Why do they wait until they f*ck up to tell you they love you? Why do they wait until you no longer want them to tell you how much you meant back then? Why do they wait?... Why do they wait to tell you?... Why do they think you'll forgive them? Why do they think you'll do it all over again? What do they think? Do they think? What do they think you will say? What do they think you will do? Why do they think you'll give them chance number two? Why do they think they deserve another shot? Why do they think you'd want to give it one more try? Why do they think the tears have dried? What gives you the right? Why would you try? Why do you think you deserve one more cry? Why did you have to lie? Why did you run and hide? Why didn't you appreciate it the first time? Why did you cover your eyes? Why didn't you see it when it was live? Why did you act like you didn't want to try? Why were you distance time after time?

Online Dating

Image
I have a like-hate relationship with online dating. I can't say love, because I've honestly never loved the idea of it, nor participating in it. But if I want to expand my horizons, thoughts, experiences, views, life. I have to partake in things outside my comfort zone. Online Dating is one of those things. Just outside the boundary of my comfort. I don't like it. But I do it because I feel like I'm out of options as a home-body. I don't go out much, so I don't meet many people. Hmmmm.... actually I don't meet anyone. Insert sad face emoji. So... I sign up on the app. Struggle to fill out the "about me" section. Scroll through my pics to try and find at least one pic that isn't a selfie to add to my profile. Remember.... I don't go out much so most of my pictures are self portraits. (That sounds a little better than selfie) And when I do go out with friends, they are anti-picture taking friends. Fortunately I just went on vacation, ...

Open Letter To That One Ex

Image
To, That One Ex First, thank you. Thank you for being a part of my journey. Now… In regards to the end of our relationship. I remember you asking me if there was someone else.  You told me you spoke to a couple people and they said there must be someone else. I guess for them, and maybe for you, they just couldn’t imagine ending a relationship unless there was a third party that stole their heart. It must seem impossible that anyone would prefer to be alone, rather than in an unhappy relationship. Well, the truth is… there was someone else. Yes, someone stole my heart from you. Only, it is not as you would imagine. However, I wasn’t the only one with someone else. You had someone else. The someone was your best friend. And the person who stole my heart from you was me. I remember you asking “is there someone else?” I wanted to say “yes, there it is. You know her very well.” You placed another woman before me, and that was something I would not stick around to deal...

Dream Interpretation

  Dream Interpretation: Sex Dreams Lately I’ve been having dreams about sex. Sounds great until I think of the people in the dreams. Last night it was a mix of a friend’s husband and her friend? A mix? Do I mean a threesome? No, not a threesome… It started with me at her house. I was in her room on the phone with HER and her husband walks in. He’s in a towel looking through the dresser for something to wear. He’s adjusting his towel and I’m getting flashes of skin. I say, “I see the gym has been working for you”. Of course he smiles and shows me his “gains”. First his back, then his glutes, then he turns around and shows me the rest. He started to walk out of the room, then he stopped and turned back. At this point I was laying on the bed. He climbed in the bed and kissed me. As we kissed and undressed, he was suddenly someone else. That’s the mix part. No threesome. He was suddenly someone else. Then we hear the door. She was home.  I’m hopping out of the bed an...

He said that's rather quickly Yeah, sometimes it gets tricky The situation got sticky And later on it hit me One day  I woke up and realized I wasn't stuck When my mind finally cleared I noticed I wasn't there I was consumed by something unfamiliar I was touched by something killer I was someone who didn't know she was gone I was someone who didn't know she lost her soul He snatched it from within me And said he'd treat it gently He tucked it away and kissed me Said he wanted to get to kn ow me The situation got tricky I realized it once it hit me I ran away rather quickly He said "Damn, I miss you dearly" (C) 2017

Love

Love is not black and white It is laughter and pain It is tears and joy It is red and blue It is up and back It is down and smiles It is dark and light It is wrong and right It is him It is her It is neither It hurts It massages It drowns It lifts It hits It tickles It burns It soothes It cuts It smooths It loves It hates It is not what you think It is not what you expect It is not how it looks It is not how it feels It is not what it is It is everything It is all encompassing It is every emotion It requires deep devotion It is energy draining It gives life new meaning It is what you make it It is love...        pure...     and naked (C) 2017

I Heart Camo

Image
Who doesn't love camo? If you said "I don't", why not? I know I can't be the only one that loves this print. I have just about every article of clothing in a camo print. Skirts, pants, shoes, a hat, jackets, shirts, even socks! No undies... I haven't found camo undies. But if I do, I will purchase them.  My favorite piece is a wrap skirt I purchased at the African Arts Festival in Brooklyn a few years ago.  Isn't it lovely! 😍  Above I paired it with a black crop top. And of course I had to accessorize! My second favorite piece is my jacket I stumbled upon in Express. Pictured below, I wore it on ladies night out with a black & white crop top, jeans and one of my favorite pair of boots. Crop top and jeans both also from Express. Not at all intentional, but when you find a store you love, you keep going back.  I love the stitch on the top of the jacket. And you can't see it in the picture below, but it has a gray hood. Perfect for ...

Movements

Moving… secretly Not really Because I can see… He can see… She can see… We all see… How you do me And as I flow through life As I close my eyes As it’s revealed to me what you really feel All I can do is continue to be who I am Some things I control, some things I can’t I pay attention and make note of how it all works I make note and pay attention to how you lay dirt The seeds you sow, I see what they are before they grow I’ve done you no ill will but you hate on me still And I have no idea what it is that makes you feel how you feel But continue to do you I’ll continue to flow my way I know at the end of the day I’ve done what I feel is the right thing to do I hope one day it can all be love and we support each other But until then, I’ll flow my way and with you I won’t bother (c) 2017
