Night Sky

Poem I love it when the sky makes me feel insignificant. I like tonight. You are like the stars in the night sky. The vibe is always right.

A Dance

A Dance Poem With the boldness of a lion, he approached her. With a tap on her shoulder and a smile, he proceeded to ask her to dance. He couldn’t have known, his valor that night would help heal her lingering wounds. That dance and the connection formed thereafter, reignited a flame inside of her. A flame that used to burn so bright. He brought back her fire, her light. His gallantry was not by mistake. A by-chance encounter he could not forsake.

Creator

Poem As a woman, I am the physical embodiment of creation. My body can create art through dance and movement. My mind and my heart help me express my truth into words. I am here because I am a creator. I am here because I am a writer and a poet. I am here because learning to love myself will help other women love who they are. We are the greatest lovers, we are warriors, and as women, we are all creators.

Beauty in Pain

I’ve come to realize the pain of you has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has forced me into my becoming, my growth, and my strength. To sit with a heavy spirit every day. To sit in discomfort alone; stretched me in ways I needed to be stretched. It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me because there has been so much beauty unveiled. I found artistry in my truth, in my struggles, and grace in the uncovering of my authentic core.

Know better do better?

They say when you know better you do better. I know better but I don’t want to do better. My head knows you are not the one. But my body and my heart, tell me you are the one for right now. The question is: How much will “now” cost…

More…

It is said that the opposite of more is enough. I want more of YOU. More of your body, your mind, and more of your broken soul. I have to settle in knowing that what God gave me of you was enough, when I am sincerely hoping for more.

Dysfunction

Poem Our relationship brought out all of the dysfunction we had inside of us to the surface. The love I had for you gave me the motivation to deal with it and the desire to fix it. Sadly, the love you had for me caused you to flee. So here I am standing alone; my dysfunction and me.

Can you breathe?

Can you breathe?… I can see you suffocating. What a brutal experience to watch you at war with yourself. Watching your brokenness champion over you. Stop letting it win. Don’t settle. Heal.

Is She Medicine Or Poison?

A poem — Letting her in when you’re weak, leads you to believe she is meek. Is she medicine? Or is she poison? Make sure she makes you better, not worse. I’d hate for you to repeat the course. God’s lessons tend to repeat, especially when you’re in defeat. Cycles of despair, when you refuse to repair. Broken hearts left behind, including one that is mine.
