In Loving Memory

"If you get your heart right, your mind and body will fall into place right behind it."--Correta Scott King

she was, and will always be, one of the great ones.
she always seemed so graceful, so regal to me.
yet so much pain behind her eyes.
a woman who stood by her man, no matter what...and i mean no matter what
made sure Dr. King's legacy was never forgotten....sadly so many have forgotten.
where have all our leaders gone?

observations within

sex is a funny thing...
giving yourself away in lil pieces is not...
i am enjoying this journey getting to know me. a few bumps in the road. a crash or two, even a blackhole appeared.but nonetheless i am still standing. i have great insurance coverage...the Creator.
i'm finding out just because i am a very sexual woman, does not mean i have to give this sweet essence away all the time, to just anybody. why, at almost 40 i'm learning this?....but the lesson comes anyway.better late than never i presume.
god! did i say almost 40?
so lately, i've been cleaning house sorta speak. getting rid of the trash and mediocracy, ya know.
i find it quite interesting, as well, the reactions from men and women-i love 'em both. i let them know, hey i'm flattered...but unless u r willing to explore the possibility of something meaningful...cause right now i'm looking for substance.
(actually i'm craving it.)casual encounters are on the back burner. women, for the most part, understand and respect this idea of mine. i said, for the most part....lol. even had one beautiful lady say 'can u just wait until after we have had our moment, to start this quest? don't be like that' she said
i laughed, but also was hurt....she didn't get it
i was just an object of her desire...a thing.
now the men, hahahahahahahahaha....i swear i love ya'll, but so damn predictable.
hey, ever want to weed out the wrong ones, clear out a room, have'em running for the hills...just tell 'em ya looking for something more....hear that? sounds of crickets chirping!! EXACTLY!!
its all good....she or he is out there for me.
i'm not looking, but i am waiting.
sistah here got some more cleaning to do before this house is ready
....until next time

Mangos By Moonlight

I wait for u
beneath willow trees-under willow leaves
soft rain weeping
like
fallen sentiments-tickling my senses
tongue searches slowly
tasting memories-in corners of lips
I smile
and allow my mind to wander...
u braid jasmin and honeysuckle within my hair
run with wild abandon thru sunflowers
swaying on intimate breezes
you catch me-i let you
at the river's edge-winding like destined paths
always changing-always constant
barefoot in cool water-soothing
pebbles skipping across lucid insanity
rings begin-never ending
outward rhythms-hollow melodies
cling to our ankles-reverberating across our souls
one simple kiss
stung like scorpions-smooth like honey
we drink each other
becoming intoxicated-anebriated
thirsty for completion-quenched by desire
absorbing needs-dissolving wants
you draw me nearer
fullness of breast-pressed against chest
heartbeats and heartbreaths-synchronize
head resting in bend of neck-lips within creases
I smile
and i allow my mind to wander...
embarrassed by our passion
the sun hid itself within your locks
so we made love in canefields-by voyeristic moonlight
sugar pilows-bed of rich earth
you drip mango flavored raindrops on my skin
sticky succulence-wetness
between fingers-between thighs-between toes
dampening my crown-glistening shades of gold
tips stirring my hues
lips conjuring stars
hips searching for God
pondering meaning of life-upon temple doors
finding divinity within
yearning-wanting more
whole body rises to receive
every part of u-fitting perfectly-into me
positive space taking up the negative
the ebb-the flow
the yin-the yang
called u and i
hands entertwined-eyes lock
searching for questions-to answers never spoken-but understood
river winding-river changing-again
the wind plays with whispers of seduction
blowing gently across my body
like sweet promises etched into angel's lips
i smile-memories of heaven
or is this madness contained?
as i allow my mind to wander...
to scents of jasmin and honeysuckle
to river's edge and cool waters
to sunflowers and canefields
to mango flavored raindrops
in corners of lips-tasting memories
tongue searches slowly
tickling my senses-fallen sentiments
like
soft rain weeping
under willow leaves-beneath willow trees
i wait for u
