Poet Introduction
Not sure if I have a style..I often just write off the cuff and go whatever direction the wind leads me.

Centered Evolution
Evolution—by definition is the
gradual
development of something, likely from simple to complex…
Life in and of itself can be seen as a form of evolution…
Though the complexity can be mishandled,
wrongly appropriated, and at times stagnated…
Then there are times in life where the glance back from whence we came
Can only be expressed in amazement….
“Don’t know how I made it over but I made it!”
To evolve is a self-cententered choice…
Adversity, decisions, regrets, wishes, and questions
All have their place
All have their moment
But the...

As a...
As a young child I thought as a child...
It was dreams deferred that led me astray...
Visions of perfectionistic ideals to attain were not in my cards..
Instead spirals of doubt, self-pity, and wallowing depression
Enveloped my being...
Supposed judgments of others became a measuring stick I couldn't meet...
And then as a woman...I thought as a woman.
I learned to love my curves, my beauty marks, my extra love in places....
I learned to walk with a sway that said I know who I am...
I strived to smile with a confidence that could leave questions...
I...

Wondering?
They tell me that love should never be contingent....
But I wonder if yours is?
They tell me that love should be everlasting and true....
I wonder if despite the past, you can be?
They tell me that love and fear can't co-exist...
Then I wonder how to define these emotions that somehow are a mix..
They tell me that love can withstand and remain...
Makes me wonder when I started to doubt this?
Makes me question my own contingencies, fortitude, and truthfullness in my own love....
It makes me wonder....

Crimes against fellow humans is nothing new, atrocities against our innocent is not new...but my heart hurts and soooo wishes that one day we move past perpetuated mob-think self hate......
To comprehend would be to
"One"
of them...
To seek revenge would seemingly continuing the
Cirlcle...
of darkness...
To hurt is to stay connected with
my human race...
To fear for my children...
This is to be a mother...
I pray.
Closing my eyes...

Today
So today...
it marks another year...
another one without your presence physically...
This year is a bit better...
I am coming into
my own
understanding...
Even without you to touch...
My heart still beats a bit faster with thoughts of you...
Small things make me smile and the heart ache only a little less
The sounds of change...
The flick of the channels on the t.v randomly..
The smell of your coat coming home from work...
I CHOOSE to lift my head up..in thanks
not down in sorrow...
I am thankful for the plethora of memories,...

Allowances
To allow and permit...
Allowances
In this life some are of free will others forced on us!
Some allowances make teeth grit
while others send smiles wider than the seas
Inbetween these choices lies the sometimes
imerceptible yet undeniable
prescence
of
lingering thoughts, swirled emotions
blocked and locked hearts....
just remember
it is an allowance
that can be given as well as taken
so lift up and be reminded
that as quick as the door shuts..
it can be opened.

The Taste
There's is something about that first taste!!
That slickness to which it makes itself at home...
the invitation to partake in more...
Holding it,
Reveling in it's ability to create a yearn...
The lucious way it brings my mouth alive...
Starting off slow..then hungrily taking more!
There's nothing like it!
Even when I try to go on "strike"
The call to return is stronger than my will to abandon...
So I continue to go back...
returning for that "first taste"
accepting that I am a prisoner, willingly ready!!
That...

Reciprocated Trembles inspired by Sir Lancelott
Ummmm….these are the only sounds I can muster..speech is out of the question! The work of your hands, that luscious tongue, and all of your encompassed security have my body awashed with heightened sensations…but it is the look in your eyes…the shift in my desires…I want you even more. It’s your turn..as you sit..I kneel before…I just look at you..all of you! Ready to take it all…but have to hold the moment…gently I put both hands on your knees and slide them up. I can feel the catch in your breath as I lightly pass your goodness..Looking up at you..I blow I kiss to you..then proceed to...

Miss Right.....for Mr Right
My own response to Miss Right songs by Ne-Yo-- an unknowingly collab with the Hubs
No plans as of now...just looking through...
looking in your eyes to see if the sparkle goes deeper than surface...
Finding myself lost in the smile you've captured me with...
Funny how when you have no expectactions...
The most amazing things come your way!
I could question..
I could doubt..
I could wonder...
But I won't....
because I konw that I have...
My
Mr. Right
here and now...
So no plans yet...but ready to make some..
ready to be your Miss...

The Line
They say the space between two molecules is
negligible...
the line between love and fear
is as such..
operating within can only happen on..
one side....
there's no in-between...
one side only at one given time...
Fear exists only to hold you..
behind potentially unknown.
Allowing the submissions...
Releases the addictions of crazed emotional turbulences...
Relaizations that even in denial..the reality of joys and pains
are guranteed happenstances...to which..
Learning from...
success, more importantly our failures.. ...

Thoughts.... :)
Sultry breaths are taken with momentary pauses..
I am savoring the aromas that surround..
After the moments that seemed suspended in time..
I revel in the after chills that rumble through..
As I walk I can still feel remenants of you…
of us…
I can still feel the clinched sensation of the build-up…
The slickness of lips wishing for more…
I like to teeter there….makes me feel…
hmmmm....purrrrrrrrr
Let’s just say I know there are several faces in this meeting…
Wondering why I can’t stop smiling….

Oh.....
Oh....
The many way this can be
Used, share...
It's possibilities..
Expressive,
Exclamative...
Indignative...
Inclusive....
Closed...
Simply sighed
or forcefully articulated..
Sensitive sensually whispered...
mmmmmm....
the feelings and memories
illicited...
yeah...
I am going there...
