It feels so good to get rid of the unused things
and the clothes that are never worn
Cleaning out the cobwebs and the unused
junk has been therapeutic to say the least
So therapeutic I just cannot seem to stop myself
I have been clearing out people in my life too
The ones who are doing me no good to keep around
The users and abusers got to go
As well with the ones who bring me nothing but negativity

Don’t Ask Granny :)

Don’t Ask Granny :)

If you don’t want to really know
Then do not ask Granny
She will tell every little ailment
Every little story about what is
going on in her life. I used to be
embarrassed or irritated by it
But hey I was young and dumb.
Now I appreciate her honesty
She earned that right of telling
These stories and telling of what
ails her. She was an awesome mother
and grandmother who always gave
of herself to everyone.
I mean seriously...we are asking
How you doing? So why can’t she
really answer. I wish more people
were like this to tell you the truth.
Do not ask if you really
do not want to know.
I wish I could still ask her
How you doing Granny?
I would sit and listen for
hours if I needed to
I miss you Granny <3

Spend time with the ones you love
Because you cannot get that time back!!!

The Kids of 1211 Gardenia Circle

The ghosts of our past haunt us
They dwell deep within
They are called regret, guilt, failure, and secrets
Our childhood was traumatic
We were preyed upon
when we really could have used some prayers
We were both victims and monsters
We were latchkey kids with major attitude
My eldest sister was left in charge but
she was just a kid herself
Kids with nothing else to do but find trouble
or is it that trouble will always
find kids with nothing else to do
Things happened that should
have never happened but they did
and my sister blames herself for this
She actually thinks she is being punished
with cancer for all of her mistakes.
I keep telling her she is wrong that bad things
happen to good people all the time.
That the past is just that it is in the past
We were just kids who made some mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes but we have to learn
To forgive ourselves

Woman is her Name

Woman is her Name

Strong like a foundation
Rock solid in every way
Her skin is soft as velvet
God built her this very way
She hides most of her fears
Wears all her hats like a boss
She flows against the stream
and is the calm in the chaos
A beautiful mystery to unravel
One layer at at time
Only people close to her
Know the thoughts of her mind
Her eyes show compassion
and fierceness just the same
From the ashes she will rise again
and Woman is her name

This is a re-post but wanted to share again since Mother's Day is coming up.
I miss my mother everyday but I know she is still with me in some ways.
Love and Blessings to you all

Are You Ready?

Are You Ready?

When
I find you ,
Believe me
I will know

I will feel your
Spirit in my skin
We will alter reality
And
Create forever

Do not hide your face
From me
If you think I am the one.
I can go there if you’re ready
But are you ready?

Who
Are you if you are ready
If you’re ready, I’ll be ready
Make me your art
Make  my heart as one with
Your own beating heart

I can already see where
We begin and we haven’t
even begun

It seems like
You’re already familiar
With the sun
Unafraid of the Sky

Matter of fact just lay
Just stay a little bit longer
Let’s watch how the tides rise
How I rise a little bit stronger
Watch a little magic in the sky
Watch how the vibes rise
A little bit deeper
Penning poetry to your
Heart beat

Art speaks in tongues
Your mouth so beautiful
Life is beautiful
So ugly so beautiful
A billion holes in my heart
But  it still bleeds sun

Take from my heart
Warm yourself
With the longing
Can I set in your arms
Rise again in the morning
But only if you’re ready
Are you ready?
I don’t want you to pretend
I want you to be sure
Are you’re ready ?

Who are you
If you’re ready?

When your heart
Knows for certain
I’ll be right here
Waiting to be read
As
We dance the night away

only
If  you’re ready
Are you ready ?

I See Color

I See Color

I often wonder why people say love is color blind? See, I don’t think love is color blind at all. Love does not require sameness to love. No, love sees every color and every shade, uniqueness and relishes in everyone. Love seeks to understand and give freedom of expression to every brilliant color. It doesn’t demand general labels such as black, white, yellow etc. Love has perfect vision that sees , embraces and celebrates every color
In everyone and everything
See , I see color and kindly let me enlighten you

It’s Beautiful
