Libra Lady, born an Air bender.

Perhaps it’s why I spent $400 on a plane ticket 

Just to jump out of it at 90 mph.

For a quick fix, I do 90 mph on I-95 with all 4 windows down

So I can pretend I’m flying.

I’m not concerned with my hair blowing out of place

Don’t you know I just rode the back of the breeze?

Maybe it’s why my heads always in the damn clouds

Forgetting to...

The adrenaline rush from roller coasters and tattoo needles

feed the addiction you forgot about. 

The scar on your knee from when Dominique knocked your bike over in ‘95

And the fucked up shit your mom said to you the other day are equally vivid.

You heard a song.

You know… That one song by whatshisface?

Made you remember spraying your clothes with febreeze to silence the

One morning, it’s just quiet

I eventually get used to the eeriness 

Warm sky, cool ocean breeze

It’s not quite what I desired.

Desperation or Curiosity?

Became self doubt, became complacency

I unraveled my terry cloth possibilities

Lie down with me!

Watch the seagulls hover 

In search of joy to  steal

Isn’t this great?

My solace is the reality that only exists in m...

Life has a way of revealing who we are and who we are not. The beauty is that we discover these truths through our relationships. Good, bad, or indifferent, our connections shape our personalities, habits, and core beliefs. Friendships test and refine these foundations, challenging us to grow in ways we never expected.

Marriage is a different experience. The stakes are higher, the truths more i...

She turned to me with a smile and that old spark in her eyes

‘Alexia’ she said. Clearly, in that sing-songy way she always did.

I was stunned.

It’s been years since I heard that word leave her lips.

These days, I’m a different person each time we meet.

Even though it sucks, I roll with it.

A church member, a waitress, or a complete stranger.

She has no recollection of raising ...

First of all

Praise Black Jesus for the chocolate thunderstorm that drenched you.

You parked your car next to mine

 And I took it as a sign that we should be next to each other 

so I gave you a smile

And you shared yours with me

Shout out to the braces in your 7th grade photo

I was shook, but I wear my cool like i wear these skinny jeans

Lets exchange the formality of hands...

43 told 33 to stop trying to fix 23

33 told 43 that it’s ok to not be the bigger person all the time

Remember what happened to 28, 29, & 30

They remind 33 that time is precious 

43 agrees

The one thousand days where sunshine was inaccurately predicted

Makes 33 anxious for 43

Because she is just as far away as 23

Naps in the grass

The Sun is my blanket

Underneath the sheet of the breeze.

Basketball court sings

A rhythmic lullaby of

Crossovers, trash talk, and lay ups.

I allowed the grass to swallow my toes

In exchange, the grass allowed my locs to mingle with the ants.

Little caterpillar, in search of new

joins me on my cot for a spell.

Then, inches off to conte...

You & I

We

Forward 

In step

3 Legged Race

Against the world

The Mirror in your eyes

Reflect who I give you

You opened my fists

Stretched my arms

To show me what ‘embrace’ means

The warmth of your soul

Radiates in your smile

Which has engraved it's image in the folds of my memory

You challenge who I thought I was 

The conflict you cre...

I turned the volume down so I could hear you.

Everything is still too loud.

Too many voices, and not the one I needed to hear.

I want to hear.

Mourning that lasted for nine hundred sixty four days.

Salty tears soaked waterlogged greenery.

Droopy head. Droopy leaves.

Pruning a root bound plant

Repot. 

Acclamation felt like dormancy

Dormancy was intense

Lef...

Sliding through the fog with your 

Illusions of finery

I saw the check engine light when I got in

But your cracked windshield distorted my vision

All I could see was how I felt when

Your leather interior 

Hugged and kissed 

And caressed my body

The cute dates at cute restaurants

Sangria and Seafood

Lies covered in parmesan cheese

Lying about past lives

Lying on ...
