Who Am I? Just a woman falling madly, deeply, truly in love with life. A poet/writer having a wild affair with words. A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

Check It Out - “Beautiful Epiphanies”

Evolution + JOY Project + Wordstew - No BackTalk

serenity_web.jpg

Check it out.

“Monday Morning”.

Over at the “Love Better Camp”….an article by yours truly entitled Beautiful Epiphanies: Love’s Reparations in Action.

The Love Better Camp is run by my friend & fellow author/poet Linda Dominique Grosvenor. It is just one “brainchild” of many that was born in earnest effort to take her non-fiction work, “The Plural Thing: Spiritually Preparing for Your Soul Mate” to a deeper level.

Now you KNOW I believe in support - especially where my friends are concerned. Even deeper than that, I’m all about supporting anything that makes us better - individually AND collectively.

And you KNOW I’m a believer when it comes to love….that real, authentic, sticky, real-life LOVE. The kind that seeps down into your soul, that keeps you energized when life throws you a curve, the kind that challenges you to be the very best person you can be and to share that with the world, the kind that affirms your worth as a person and inspires you to dig even deeper. Yeah….you KNOW I support all that.

That’s what “The Plural Thing” is all about - how to get out of your own way, to heal yourself, to do the inner work that needs to be done so that you can give and receive the love you deserve.

To love better.

And who doesn’t want to experience THAT?

Stop by. Read the article. Leave your “footprints” in the comment box. Peruse the site. Check out the book. Stop by “The Plural Thing” social network on NING.

Be well. Be loved. BE love.

“This Poem”

Poe-Ahh-Tree + Wordstew - (2) BackTalked

br-gc271_bmelancolie-posters.jpg

I intended to post this piece last Wednesday but um…still haven’t nailed my schedule down. *Shrug* Oh well. Enjoy! Yes, I know it’s NOT Wednesday but I figured posting something would be better than letting the tumbleweeds take over, right? LOL


THIS poem

THIS
poem got dressed just for you…
draping itself in sensual words that
flowed freely, rich, and decadent
like melted milk chocolate
over trembling thighs.
It chants your name lyrically
carries your scent in each & every stanza
bears your smile in each line…
if only people knew where to look.

THIS
poem got dressed
just for you…
stepping into sexy eintou
bending slowly to temptingly
tuck senryu into a lacy black garterbelt
stopping to dab some hot liquid
jazz in the bend of a knee

THIS
poem got dressed just for you…
spritzing wrists and crooks of elbows
with warm haiku
letting the juiciness of a sonnet
trail slowly from collarbone to breasts….
adjusting lacy black braisseire so that
the sauciness of the cup doesn’t runneth over…yet

THIS
poem got dressed just for you…
ankles wrapped exotically in cinquain
silky words fall across shapely hips
that move rhythmically towards you
passion recited in each and every step

Yes my love
THIS
poem got dressed just for you….
and the only thing better than being the poem
is the breathless anticipation that floods my system
as I await the moment when you
undress
THIS
poem

Usted es más que un anhelar, usted está el deseo desnudo….

Do you know any “power couples”?

I have a friend who is…one half of a power couple waiting to happen.

AND.THAT.ISH.IS.UP.UNDER.MY.SKIN.IN.WAYS.THAT.DEFY.DESCRIPTION.

I sit here thinking about it now and all I can hear is the refrain from an Ashford & Simpson song, “LOOSE ME!”

I need to drop back. Survey the land…Ask myself what’s what….

…and stop singing that “LOOSE ME” refrain….

if what I truly want….

is….the opposite…..

…to be the other half….

….of a….MAGICAL….POWER COUPLE

*SIGH* And yet, a wise person knows that SAYING ‘I’m ready for love” is lifetimes away from BEING
ready.

*SIGH* India.Arie sho’ makes it sound easy when she’s strumming that guitar and singing that plaintive yet soulful song, huh? The power of marketing. LOL

Be easy ya’ll…..
